Oh, I had a tremendous experience here. It was a delight to eat at Pasta Sisters - we have Italian restaurants back home in Vancouver, even authentically run by Italian people, but I had never tasted pasta like the dishes at Pasta Sisters.

Our organization hosted a fundraiser at the Sound Room on a Thursday evening in March. Everything was perfect! The team made set-up and take-down so smooth for us. The food was delicious with lots of options for our guests. Music was great. The staff were so kind and helpful throughout the planning process and during the event. We definitely look forward to visiting the Sound Room in the future!

Such a hidden gem, love this spot for date night and makes a great gift to friends, family, and colleagues. Would recommend arriving early for good seats and to get their yummy sangria and other small bites that are top notch.

The Sound Room is a quaint, cozy little venue located in the heart of Oakland that has great acoustics. Its the perfect locale for when you want to get out for the evening to unwind and chill away from the masses of people. I should also mention that the food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced.I hope to frequent the Sound Room in the near future (or whenever Marina Crouse and the band are playing there). Cheers!

Also hosted one of the Jazz Search West competitions, intimate venue and easy to get to

I loved this place! Great atmosphere with live jazz music! Mature crowd, a perfect place to take your lady. Customer service was professional and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back with my wife who also enjoyed the experience.

The venue was smaller and less seats than I imagined. The food, proximity to the artist and the staff were fantastic. We had a few small plates of fruit and nuts which were very fair plus the drinks were excellent. I would recommend paying the higher price for earlier entrance.

The most pleasing thing about the Sound Room, is not the top tier artists, nor the up and coming musicians or even the delicious, unique and inexpensive eats and drinks, but the community. There is a welcoming and comfortable vibe. It starts with the clubs welcoming and fun owners and staff. The audience is usually packed with amazing Jazz lovers who are friendly, engaged and interesting.

Very intimate space for music which was very nice. Food is good and the owners are very attentive.

What a gem in the heart of Oakland. Street parking (after 6:30) was pretty easy. Lots of people out, felt safe. The club is cozy and intimate. Most seating at small round tables (where you can eat) very close to the stage. The food/dinners we ordered was in the $16 price range and quite tasty. And last but not least, the Flamenco was superb. Great evening out!

The music and venue were GREAT!!!! The people FANTASTIC!!! However, the surrounding neighborhood isnt safe... Tonight my car was broken into... which ruined the evening... Unfortunately, I learned vehicle break ins of this nature are common.

Nice experience! It was my first time watching a live band play.

Saw an amazing Flamenco Group for the second time at The Sound Room! They are having a Mothers Day celebration featuring a 5-course meal, and this fantabulous Flamenco group! Run to see them. Oh, did I say the food is delicious. Love, love, love this place!!!

Came for a comedy show and it was great. Comfortable seating, small so you can see the performers. Nice bar service. Really friendly folks.

Love this spot. Always great local acts.

As a fan of chamber music played in environments like this one I visited the sound room tonight for the first time. Classical music in a Jazz place? You bet! What a nice surprise. The music program was spectacular, the food amazing (-ly affordable), super healthy and super tasty (we had veggie tacos and capresadilla - mmmmmh), and the beers a blast. I’ll be back!

Great, intimate space to hear excellent music of multiple genres at a reasonable price. Good food and beverages as well!

Staff & ambiance was Great & Intimate

Cozy set...small venue. Tasty food

Absolutely Fabulous! Setting is superb! Food and beverages are served. Jazz and comedy is offered. This is truly a gem in Oakland. Definitely worth a visit.

The best! Great vibe, music is always top-notch, terrific bar food as well. A perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. They are a non-profit and need the love and support of the public and local community. Check it out!

This non-profit music venue usually features various types of jazz or blues artists, and is a true Oakland treasure. Its an intimate setting with its 15 or so small tables and maybe 20 stools along the walls occupied by a crowd that appreciates top quality music. These musicians may not be household names, folks, but you wont find better jazz or blues this side of New Orleans.

Great intimate, living room feel… up close & personal. They attract top-flight talent & have provided me the opportunity to expand my horizons, with stellar, if less known musicians.The staff are lovely folk, every one, on every visit. This is clearly a labor of love for them.All of the food Ive enjoyed there, Ive, um, quite enjoyed.Theyve lost their lease & will need to move during summer 17. Theyre actively looking for the perfect location, for SR version 2.0.

Great BNI meeting

Great music by Five Ten, wonderful, warm, atmosphere with tasty food and good drinks.

Wonderful, wonderful place that I couldnt recommend more. The people who run this are friendly, flexible and helpful. We showed up on a sold out night with kids in tow, and they somehow still found us a place to sit. I love the ability to order small bites, wine & beer from the back during the show, and the sound is top-notch. Im so glad I discovered this place (from a friends recommendation), but wish I knew about it sooner.

Good beer great music.

Great place to hear jazz from artists slightly below the radar. Very friendly, casual atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable.

Great place for music!

The Sound Room is a remarkable place to comfortably get up close to Jazz and World music while enjoying savory tapas and wine. Ive seen straight ahead jazz, flamenco, faro and blues here and the talent they bring is superb. The Owners Karen and Robert are on site and orchestrating each performance, it makes for a great evening in the center of downtown Oakland. You should check it out!
