Hello! My younger sister knows that I've always wanted to go see LIVE Jazz played at a restaurant. Where we could dress up and go see them towards the evening and eat. And she invited me to a place in SF. I liked it a lot. I wish there was something in Oakland. But it was really nice :) 🎷🎙🎶🎺

Yoshi’s in Oakland!

Black Cat is rad though, as an S.F. resident myself. Glad you had a good time!

Hey that was my first jazz club too and I also went with my sister! I saw Nate smith there. I’m kinda still irked by them because I bought a “vip” ticket but they put us way in the backs I should have spoke up but I didn’t so whatever. The duck fat fries were great and so was Nate smith.

NB is a section of SF. But, I think this person is not remembering correctly, because Black Cat is not located in NB.

Is it expensive?

u/Illustrious-Alps7357 1d ago

I would say a bit. So this should be a once in a while or special occasion
