Top 5 Art Galleries in Alameda County

1 Buchanan St, Albany, CA 94706, United States

“A small little nature world right next to the concrete jungle, very artsy. I love it!”

101 Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720, United States

“I have been going to Cal Performances since I was a kid and I really appreciate the diversity of performers they bring in. There really is something for everyone. I hope they continue on for decades! The arts are so important! Zellerbach is great. They are back to serving alcohol/drinks and snacks. I suppose parking is a negative -- they open the lot under the hall and down by the RSF. I didn't see how much they charge since it was a night show and we were able to find free 2 hour parking on the street but that is something to take into account.”

3900 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland, CA 94609, United States

“When I entered Marcus Books (we went there immediately after I flight landed in SF), I felt like I'd arrived home. I approached the front counter and asked the lady behind the desk if she was the owner. Her response, "Yes, I'm one of them." When I told her that I LOVE the bookstore, she said, "It loves you back." What an amazing store, the selection is broad and comprehensive, featuring multiple genres by and about Black ppl. I limited myself to 3 books and nothing else, which was a deal I had to make with myself before entering!! LOL! The feeling of being in a bookshop that's been around since the 1960s is indescribable. I love, love, love it. Thanks for all you do, Marcus Books.”

551 Southland Mall Dr, Hayward, CA 94545, United States

“This place has an amazing staff that made our experience a great one! I've been here a handful of times and never had a bad experience. But I must say that our visit last night was even better due to the service level of everyone, but particularly a guy named "Bryan". When we went to buy our gamer cards, we didn't know which version to get, the regular card or the membership card. He was able to thoroughly explain the difference (and benefits) of each, which helped us to choose the membership card. It's a much better option if you plan to visit multiple times. One of the games that we tried didn't work for whatever reason. And when I went to inform Bryan at the counter, he personally came over to help fix the game and make sure that we were able to play it without having to get charged credits again. I wasn't expecting that! In all, this place is super fun. They have everything under one roof! Great for kids & adults. And their food is good too!”

6538 Patterson Pass Rd, Livermore, CA 94550, United States

“Came here on a whim and was not disappointed. Play structure is humongous! And they even have a smaller structure sectioned off for the littles. The ball pit was our favorite area. I only gave three stars because around closing time an employee started cleaning the tot area and I noticed they were wearing their outdoor shoes. Not only were they walking around, they were kicking/moving the toys and structures with their dirty shoes. Idk I was kind of put off by the sight because my son was JUST crawling there a few minutes prior.”

1188 Vineyard Ave, Pleasanton, CA 94566, United States

“Very good to enjoy fine wines and relax on the courtyard. The tasting flight was served at once, so we did not have to get nervous to listen the presentation between each wine. When you would like to know each wine in detail, you need to reserve another tasting course with the presentation. Delis were also nice, though no vegetables were available. The vineyard was good for short walking. Friendly and attentive staff.”

2154 University Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704, United States

“A really fun Magic the Gathering store. They also have some other games and rentable gaming pcs you can play games on. Their MtG singles selection is superb but be warned their pricing is slightly above tcg market. A great place to buy cards and play in the Berkeley area.”

388 9th St Ste 290, Oakland, CA 94607, United States

“Had a great time at the Lunar New Year celebration. Lots of good multicultural vibes to welcome the year of the wood dragon. Let's make this good energy continue throughout the year!”

2601 Monarch St, Alameda, CA 94501, United States

“Very good spirits, and super friendly staff.”
