"Jack London Square’s answer to the Mission is its own Elbo Room, a branch of the consistently lively SF bar and venue. That’s quietly opened for early customers over the past couple weeks, and a kickoff party is tomorrow, Friday March 22. “The Oakland scene is really thriving, and many of our friends, performers, and clientele live in Oakland [and the] East Bay,” Elbo Room’s Matt Shapiro told Eater SF late last year. “So we thought maybe we could bring the party to them... Save them a few bucks on bridge toll [or] BART fare, and bring our SF folks out to Oakland from time to time as well.”" - Caleb Pershan
