The Paramount is a beautiful theatre in the art-deco style in uptown Oakland, California. Great place to see music and theatrical shows. Recently I have had the pleasure of enjoying the music of Lila Downs, The Whispers, as well as the Oakland Ballet's Nutcracker. There are also free tours of the theatre during the week.

Love this theater!! Totally my favorite. I love how they have old movies and nostalgic movies and film festival showings and all KINDS of stuff! The hodge podged seating adds to the character of the place, although some of the seats are very old and sunken in. It's all good tho. Love how u can order your meal and its brought to you. Food quality is VERY GOOD, restaurant quality food from a movie theater. I was very surprised. They have lots of family friendly events, event for ppl who are just going alone, or going with friends! Awesome place. Parking is kind of bleh though, but it's in a tricky location.

I like this theater, partly because there is parking garage right across the street, and they validate parking.
