"Kingston 11 is reopening as a reggae lounge running Thursday through Friday, starting August 31. The restaurant includes a dance floor, an outdoor area, and will feature cocktails and Jamaican bites like patties and curry shrimp." - Dianne de Guzman
"Kingston 11, one of the East Bay’s favorite restaurants for oxtail, salmon, and jerk chicken, will close its doors for good on March 25." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Between the music, the tropical vibe, and the menu filled with Jamaican favorites, you’ll feel like you’re kicking back on Hellshire Beach or Fort Clarence at this Oakland restaurant. Nibble on salt cod fritters with chimichurri or beef patties before main events like curried goat, tangy escovitch salmon, and ackee with saltfish. Kingston 11 is also blessed with a lively bar menu that plays on traditional flavors. We’re especially fond of the rum punch with Wray & Nephew overproof rum and the Kingston Sunset, a refreshing mix of Prosecco, sorrel, and some spice." - Maria C. Hunt
"Kingston 11 is a Jamaican restaurant based in Oakland, known for its jerk chicken and rum punch. It was the venue for a press conference where Governor Gavin Newsom signed three key bills affecting cocktails and parklets." - Becky Duffett
"In Uptown, he cited as examples Kingston 11, which debuted in 2013, and AlaMar, opened in 2014." - Kathryn Campo Bowen
