    Marina performed tonight and she was pretty versatile with her jazz in both English and Spanish!
    Dee Z.

    Came on 11/17/2019. I found parking right on the corner. The admission price was recently increased to $12 and the food increased to $12. The crowd was very diverse and primarily over 60, so I'm pretty confident that no fights will break out and no one is going to get cut tonight. The performance was pretty good and I don't feel that I wasted my $12. This is a great venue to just kick it for a few hours and enjoy some good entertainment. My only minor suggestion is that they dim the lights a little cuz with the bodies and no ventilation, it gets rather warm in the room.

    Bringing down the house!

    On a whim my girlfriend and I went to Geoffreys last night and wow! What a treat. I had no idea who was playing but the band was awesome! They had mixture of a church group and a birthday celebration in attendance, so the crowd was really lively and welcoming. In the bar area they were serving some of the best soul food I ever had for $10 a plate. The music was a mixture of jazz and blues, with different guest singers and musicians. I had an awesome time, and not many places where the owner comes out and greets everyone, but I shook his hand and thanked him for a great time.

    REVIEWER # 32 Well, Hello Geoffrey's! I'm so happy I've met you. I heard you've been open for over 20+ years and I find that so hard to believe! Where have I been? I couldn't help but admire how sexy you looked from the outside. Yes, I'm talking about those sexy red stairs that led to the amazingly glamorous venue. Boy, you are just perfect for dates! Have you been to Geoffrey's? Do you love some jazz music? What about enjoying Sunday jazz music? Well, what the heck are you waiting for? You need to run your butt to Geoffrey's for some amazing music, tasting drinks and a good ol' meal. I came to Geoffrey's on my birthday and truly enjoyed myself. it's a full service entertainment and catering venue. It cost $10 to get in and $15 if you want dinner. The music, vocalist, and band are wonderful and the crowd is lively. Yanice Taylor is wonderful and is the host of Sunday! You can't help but notice how classy the venue is! It is a historic Oakland Institution with so much history; such a wonderful place to wine and dine. Perfect for date nights, FYI! They have a bar in the back where you could order drinks. They also have servers that walk around during the night and take orders. I truly can't think of a better way to spend my Sunday evening; I'm in love with Geoffrey's!

    This establishment right here...oh boi!!!! One of Oakland's oldest a definitely the cream of the crop for excellent music, fantastic food and wonderful opportunities to meet new and awesome people. Geoffreys has a great history here in Oakland. Some of the best players have crossed that threshold, locals and world famous, instruments in hand, ready to make it all come together. I've found myself excitedly awaiting the doors to open again. Thank you Geoffrey Pete for all that you do for all of us.

    See all

    What is the Sunday dress attire for the Sunday show?

    Hi Pookie, We don't have a specific dress code for Sunday jazz. Thank you.… Read more

    "Open 24/7" is a little hard to believe. Are those it's actual hours of operation?

    Sorry for any confusion. We are a multi-use facility and rent the space for private events. Rental hours vary base on when an event is booked. We hope this helps.

    We came across this hidden gem of a space on a whim, while looking for a venue to host of our kids'…read morejoint birthday parties. The space is absolutely beautiful and a great blank canvas that doesn't need much decorating because it's got what some elders may call "good bones". The owners are really easy to work with and great at outlining all the details up front, so that you know what you are getting. And for the price, it's totally worth it! The space comes with tons of bells and whistles that you would normally pay extra for. That includes a sound system (for a DJ or you can use their Bluetooth and play your own music), light system, industrial fridge, microwave, a built-in selfie or Photo booth green wall, industrial trash cans, tables, and chairs galore. There's also free and plentiful parking located out back, which was a great built-in perk. There are so many things we loved about this space, including the barn door leading to a cute back patio. Great for creating indoor/outdoor space for guests. Ours used it to watch the trains going by, which was a big hit for the kids. The front of the venue is situated right near a loading dock/overhang area, which came decked out with lights and was perfect for our Piñata. There's also space adjacent the loading dock that worked perfectly for a jumper. We really enjoyed renting this space, and our guests absolutely loved it as well. It's the best space for any type of party or event, and worth every penny.

    Was great while it lasted! Easy to book, accommodating, nice venue! Best wishes as you move…read moreforward and continue to serve the Bay Area!

We got a ton of compliments all night about what a cool space it was and that it was a perfect choice for our party. We worked closest with Stacy and she was phenomenal!
