Havana Restaurant · Walnut Creek • $$
Bottomless mojitos meet crispy Cuban sandwiches at this lively spot where the rum selection runs deep and the vibe feels like a mini vacation. Come for brunch or dinner—either way, you're leaving happy.

Umami Mart · Temescal

Umami Mart · Temescal
Sip Japanese-influenced cocktails while crate-digging through vinyl at this laid-back Oakland bar. The BYO-food policy means you can roll in with pizza or sushi and make an evening of it.

Wine On Piedmont · Piedmont Avenue
Friday nights here mean guided tastings through wines you won't find at the big box stores, from Georgian amber to French finds under $20. Pour at the cozy back bar while chatting with owners who actually remember what you bought last time.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
