New Year's Eve 2017 Oakland CA Things To Do - The Alley, Geoffrey's Inner Circle New Year's Eve 2017 Oakland, CA Things To Do: The Alley, Geoffrey's Inner Circle New Year's Eve can't get here fast enough for Oakland and for the United States, for that matter. And if you're new to Oakland, you're probably thinking you have to go to San Francisco to have some NYE fun. Well, no – you don't. There's stuff to do in Oakland. So, you're probably, no certainly, in the middle of trying to figure out what you want to do, but wondering if it's too late to get into one place or the other considering this is the middle of the last week of 2016. Well, fear not. Here's Zennie Abraham's blog and Zennie62 vlog post of some things to do in Oakland, California to ring in 2017 and ring out the hated 2016. The Alley at 3325 Grand Avenue The Alley at 3325 Grand Avenue is my personal favorite place to go in Oakland for New Year's Eve. The newly designated Oakland Landmark and National Landmark has been open since 1931 and was once a speakeasy. In the recent past, The Official Oakland Landmark Rod Dibble held court at the piano (since 1963) and managed to keep all of the hot, tipsy ladies entertained through the evening and past midnight. This weekend, the piano's still the place to be and with a set of talented players like Paul Hlebcar and Jeff Labes. Geoffrey's Inner Circle Has “New Year's Eve with Syd & Friends” If you think you'll sing badly at The Alley, perhaps you'd rather take in a show, but think there's nothing going on in Downtown Oakland. Think again. Geoffrey's Inner Circle, the long-time-open nightclub and lounge at 410 14th Street (near the corner of 14th and Broadway) features “New Year's Eve with Syd & Friends.” The production established by “Wine &Bowties” features local Oakland performers Syd, Duckwrth, Rayana Jay, Neto, B-Side Brujas, Fela Kutchi, and Namaste Shawnty.
