I…read moream super happy that Club Cafe reopened under new ownership, as that opportunity may have been otherwise not possible. Walking in here, I was immediately surprised by how small and intimate this venue is. There are a few places to sit here, but it is mostly standing room only. No matter where you are, you are likely no more than 15 feet from the stage. Just a heads up -- there is a slight step when you enter into the venue, so step up and/or over it. I tripped on the slight angled step of the door and slightly stumbled into the venue. There are a lot of local acts that perform here -- many that I am not aware of, and so that may have been what kept me from coming here in the past. I happened to come here for a national act, Ondara, of whom I was actually surprised to see performing in such a small venue. I would definitely come back here again for the right performer/band. The acoustics are wonderful.

The beautifully landscaped gardens, colorful flowers, and manicured green spaces create a whimsical atmosphere right in the heart of Oakland. The plaza offers something for everyone, with multiple food vendors, a charming merry-go-round, and an outdoor venue that regularly hosts concerts and community events. Alot of the vendors are not open until later in the day (( I frequently come while my son is at appts in Oakland, so I have not tried by yet)). Whether you're looking for a relaxing place to enjoy lunch, spend time with family, or simply take in the scenery, Schenley Plaza is a vibrant gathering space that combines natural beauty, entertainment, and great food in one unforgettable location.

Quick and friendly. Kind of a small area but just enough room to enjoy the band and have a good view. This is a non smoking bar but smoking is allowed outside. Tickets were $10 online & $15 at the door. https://moondogs.us/shows/ Nice variety of bands play here including local legends like Norm Nardini. Prices aren't that bad, Domestic beers are $4.50.

I have spent many a nights at ole Moondogs for gigs by touring and local musicians. My ex-husband's band played there often and he also hosted an open mic night way back in the day. They are primarily a blues joint but welcome all genres to perform. The acoustics are rock solid. This is truly a lost gen in the world of old-school, live music venues. The bar is more of a beer & shot vibe and that's just spot on, isn't it? Folks working there are cream of the crop! A Pittsburgh institution to be proud of.

In terms of food, the standout dish was the basket of French fries, with the creole cauliflower bites in close second. My friends ordered the nachos and they said they were good. The bummer dish of the night was the Mac and cheese with bacon--it came out as a congealed, unappetizing blob. My friend who ordered it described it as "dry." I hope the next time we go there will be faster service and wetter cheese.
