Conga Lounge the right place to lay back and imagine you are on a tropical island. The atmosphere is very laid back, with an island vibe to it and great cocktails! Friday and Saturday nights are always a lot of fun at the Conga Lounge; dance all night for no cover… pretty hard to find these days, right! If you go earlier, they have very good happy hour deals, and a very appealing appetizers menu.
The 5th Amendment is another nice bar that regularly features local artists. It gets crowded and noisy on weekends, so it might not be the best place to chat with your friends. People come here for the music.
If you like Latin Jazz stop by Club Anton. This Oakland Club features the best Latin music venue in Oakland. It also offers HipHop and Reggae nights. It is one of the best places in town to swing your hips and dance the night away. The drinks are a little pricey but with the charm of the place, the great sound system, and the venue, it is definitely worth it!
Cafe Van Kleef is the hippie hangout spot. Every night, they have a different band. This eclectic bar has an awesome staff. You will not be disappointed. And if you get hungry after a few drinks and some dancing, it’s your lucky day: At Cafe Van Kleef, you get free food all night long!

Best Bars in Oakland
The new trend in a lot of cities is the opening of all sorts of wine bars. Vine is one of them in Oakland. 
This loft looking place has a nice selection of wine, and for your dear friends who still don’t like wine, they also have beers on draft. So come try a wine from Chile, they’re the new hip products on the market!
Now for a great beer bar, there is nothing better than a pub, and in Oakland, the best pub is The Trappist. You can find quality beers and a vast beer menu to choose from! They also serve food, and it is delicious, not what you would expect from an “English” pub.
There is not 2 bars alike, but there is definitely no other bar like Heinold’s First And Last Chance Saloon. You’re in for a unique experience. This bar is a bit odd looking, maybe due to the 45 degree angle of the floor – no, you did not drink too much, these are the results from an earthquake; stop on their patio looking over the bay and enjoy a cheap drink and play a good song on the juke box.
So come on, put our party outfit on and have a good time when you explore the nightlife of Oakland!
