Yoshi's — know before you go
Is Yoshi's wheelchair accessible (ADA access)?+
Inform staff of accessible seating needs at the time of ticket purchase; all ADA seating must be requested at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start. Third-party listings report a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, and reviewers note staff will seat wheelchair users at front cocktail tables if you check in early — but the official site doesn't enumerate accessible restrooms, so call 510-238-9200 ahead to confirm specific needs.
Does Yoshi's have seating, or is it standing room?+
A reserved, cabaret-style room — mostly 4-person tables plus some booths, 2-tops, and bar/lounge seating. For most shows seats aren't individually selected at purchase; staff seat you on a best-available basis and section requests aren't guaranteed. The reliable way to get a great seat: dine in the restaurant/bar/lounge at least an hour before showtime (reserve 1.5–2 hours ahead) — diners are seated before walk-in ticket holders. There's a one-item food/drink minimum during the show.
Is Yoshi's all ages?+
All shows are all ages unless specifically noted. Every patron needs a ticket except children under 2, who sit on a ticket-holding adult's lap; some kids' events require a ticket from age 1.
What time do shows start and end at Yoshi's?+
Club doors open 15–30 minutes before showtime, and most performances run 70–90 minutes. Yoshi's often programs two seatings a night (an early and a late show) — buy for the specific set time on your ticket. Premium-seat and dining guests enter up to an hour early to be seated first.
Can I avoid ticket fees at the Yoshi's box office?+
Box office hours are 4:30–9:00pm daily (closing 30 minutes after the last show's start) at 510 Embarcadero West. The site doesn't state that in-person purchase avoids fees, and all sales are final.
What are the bar, drink, and re-entry policies at Yoshi's?+
A full bar plus a full Japanese restaurant (made-to-order sushi/sashimi, grilled seafood, vegetarian options); food can also be ordered in the jazz room. One-item minimum during the show; corkage is $40. Coat check and a re-entry policy aren't documented on the official page — confirm with the venue.
Where can I park near Yoshi's, and how do I get there?+
A paid public garage (Washington Street Garage) sits directly behind Yoshi's — bring your ticket inside for validated/discounted parking. Don't park in the Cost Plus lot (towing). Transit: nearest BART is 12th St Oakland (then a short cab/AC Transit ride); the Alameda/Oakland ferry stops directly across the street.
Are there VIP or premium seating options at Yoshi's?+
For select shows Yoshi's offers Premium Seating — guaranteed placement in the first three rows plus early entry an hour before. Otherwise, dining 1+ hour pre-show is the practical way to lock in preferred club seating.
