Social News NetworkDecember 4, 2013This place is amazing. A great place for dinner, a movie, a desert, and even a late night walk. It is only one bus ride away if you live in Oakland.
Re-creating a new Foursquare/Swarm entry for Jack London Square, the public pedestrian plaza. The old Jack London Square entry was incorrectly merged into the one for the "Z Hotel Jack London Square."
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011Every Sunday, rain or shine, the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association presents local farmers and artisan food purveyors with fresh produce and hand crafted products for your culinary enjoyment.
Susan TroyMay 6, 2019Come see all kinds of beautiful art and crafts by local makers at the Patchwork Show Oakland on June 1 at 472 Water Street, Jack London Square, I'll be there with lots of fun and colorful ceramics!
Wilson Favre-DelerueSeptember 24, 2016A good selection of restaurants and a few shops, though on the whole the retail concept here could be improved with a larger offering.- Tons of upper scale restaurants, shopping, movies, and a beautiful view of the Oakland Inner Harbor. Defintely a great area to take a date or to just hang out.
Brian StraussJune 15, 2016A bit cut off from downtown, but gorgeous. Love to walk along the water and visit the farmers market.
Alisha SmartSeptember 10, 2016All around good experience. Food was good atmosphere was amazing !! Great family environment, great for romance as well.

Justin SullivanJuly 3, 2015Sunny waterfront lined with boats, views of the Oakland harbor and the Bay Bridge and that other city by the bay.
Florence Antonette RDecember 23, 2009One of my favorite spots ever. This place is easily ignored since San Francisco is right across the bridge, but this is a romantic place to go to during the day and night. Many elegant restaurants!
Mystie RodriguezSeptember 1, 2015Great place to walking around by the water & stop by the local restaurants on the shore
Very cool promenade and boating docks with restaurants and shops nearby.
Sean RobisonAugust 13, 2014The area has definitely suffered from the weakened economy. Still a pretty area though.
Try renting a kayak from California canoe and kayak there and enjoy a day on water.
Nearby Blue Bottle is perfectly fine. Lovely coffee. But us old-school kids go to Peerless.
Min LeeSeptember 7, 2013Parking in underground garage is cheaper than $6 flat rate parking in most cases.
EverydayFebruary 28, 2013Spans about 6 blocks that overlooks Oakland Inner Harbor. Lots of places to eat, but not much else. Worth a visit.
I'm so happy to see more places opening, more people coming to JLS.
Take a stroll along the waterfront. Plenty of seats to sit and enjoy the view!
Tamara HoustonOctober 21, 2011Hop on tha' B. Public transpo that feeds Oakland's night life and social calendar. Hop on, hop off, you're there.
Nick IssaSeptember 25, 2011Great farmers market, truck food of all ethnic styles. Try them all..yum!!
