Guidebook for Oakland
Food Scene
We love going to Mua because it is a short walk from our home and has beautiful patio area surrounded by plants and flowers. Inside it is a large industrial space with artwork that is very Oakland. They also have a great happy hour and a DJ on some nights. They serve everything from burgers to crab cakes and they do it well.
