The sun cast a warm glow over a scene of residents eager to unwind and unleash their inner artist. I was immediately struck by the lively infusion of afrobeats, 90’s R&B, and modern pop-soul, creating a soundtrack that perfectly encapsulated Oakland’s diverse musical heritage. Easels stood in neat rows, monitored by enthusiastic participants armed with brushes and palettes, ready to translate their teacher’s visions onto canvas. In a city known for its hustle and grind, this event offered a much-needed oasis of relaxation. After a long day at work, there was something incredibly soothing about the opportunity to decompress, engage with fellow community members, and sip on a complimentary prosecco (thanks to the Oakland Central team!). The fact that Oakland Central (a project of the Uptown Downtown Oakland Community Benefit Districts) offered this experience free of charge—a rare treat in our current economy—spoke volumes about their commitment to community well-being. While the painting class was the main attraction, Oakland Central ensured there was something for everyone. On the sidelines, various games were set up for those who preferred alternative forms of entertainment. The organization’s employees were omnipresent, efficiently managing everything from clean-up to security, all while engaging warmly with attendees. In our increasingly digital world, the opportunity for genuine, in-person connections is becoming rare. Yet, amidst the clinking of prosecco glasses and the gentle scratch of brushes on canvas, people were fully engaged—with their art, each other, and the moment. Events like these hint at a broader vision for Oakland’s future—one where community, creativity, and quality of life take center stage. As one attendee quipped, “It seems Oakland Central is preparing the city for a marriage proposal where we’ll all live a soft life.” This sentiment captures the growing desire for a city that not only functions but flourishes, providing its residents with opportunities for joy, relaxation, and personal growth. As the event wound down and participants proudly displayed their finished works—each a unique reflection of its creator—the success of the evening was clear. The Sip and Paint event demonstrated that when given the opportunity, Oaklanders are eager to come together, create, and celebrate their community. Oakland Central’s initiative serves as a blueprint for future community events. By offering free, inclusive activities that cater to diverse interests and bring people together, they’re fostering a stronger, more connected Oakland. As we look to the future, one can only hope that such events become a regular fixture in our city’s social calendar. For those who missed this event, keep an eye on Oakland Central’s upcoming schedule. If this Sip and Paint evening is any indication, future offerings are sure to be unmissable opportunities to experience the best of what our vibrant city has to offer. By Mworia. L.

With dozens of breweries and taprooms in Oakland, it’s no wonder why hop-heads from all over the Bay Area flocking to The Town. Here is a walking guide to four of our favorite stops in Uptown and Downtown Oakland. First Stop Modern Times Begin your journey at the north end of Uptown at California’s very first employee-owned brewery. Modern Times opened their Oakland taproom in December 2019. With outposts in San Diego, Portland and Oregon, each taproom is uniquely designed and offers guests 34 taps of a variety of beers. Second Stop Drake Dealership Located at The Hive in Uptown Oakland, Drake’s Dealership is a full-service restaurant with 32 beers on tap. The crown jewel of the beautiful space is a grand open-air beer garden where you can imbibe your beers and bites. Enjoy a wood-fired pizza and sample their fresh beer, brewed right here in the East Bay. Third Stop Lost & Found Beer Garden Keep the good times rolling at Lost & Found Beer Garden. This beer garden features a large patio, 20 beers on tap, and a rotating menu of small bites and larger dishes. While there, burn off some of the booze with a round of cornhole. Fourth Stop Woods Bar & Brewery Stagger over to Woods Bar & Brewery where the “beer curious” can try original creations made at this location by Jim Woods and team. Woods Beer Co., whose original Cervecería is located on 18th Street at the corner of Dolores Park, is home to the MateVeza – a beer that takes the popular caffeinated Maté tea from Argentina and infuses the beer with it. Pair it with one of their Argentinian empanadas. Delicioso!     Don't miss out on new posts Sign up to stay in the loop!
