Sláinte Irish Pub Oakland

Jack London Square changes the rhythm of an evening: the waterfront, ferry, restaurants, and Amtrak station make it a walking district whose options depend on transit schedules. At 131 Broadway, Sláinte presents an Irish-pub experience built around a sit-down meal and music. The Port of Oakland and the local district list ferry, bus, bicycle, walking, and driving as ways to reach the area; check the final leg and return service, especially if staying after a concert or event.

The pub’s website describes a menu of stews, savory pies, and soda bread, along with an Irish-whiskey collection spanning different regions and styles. Live music is promoted as a regular part of the weekly program, and the space can host private events; confirm performers, dates, and availability on the current calendar. Menus are linked from the site, but we do not rely on third-party copies or older documents for prices. Check the menu maintained by the business when estimating a meal.

Comments attached to this location often mention fish and chips, cottage pie, Irish coffee, music, and staff service. Some guests also describe the bill as on the high side, which frames the venue as a pub meal with music and atmosphere rather than a quick low-cost stop. Maps marks the entrance as wheelchair accessible. We do not attribute a private parking lot to the restaurant: the district lists public options nearby, whose availability can change with events.

The comparison with McNally’s helps choose an evening, not plan a walk between pubs: Rockridge and Jack London Square are separate Oakland districts. Sláinte is a fit when the plan includes food, whiskey, or music on the waterfront; private events must be arranged through the channels the business publishes. Check the calendar, menu, and transit before leaving, since opening times vary by day and are not presented as one stable schedule across every page of the site.
