Oakland Arena Food & Drink
Bahn Mi Cart – Section 121
Can’t stand the thought of another hot dog? We’ve got your back – the Bahn Mi cart serves up some of the most unique menu items at Oakland Arena. Enjoy Vietnamese sandwiches like the Ginger-Garlic Tofu Bahn Mi or the French Dip Banh Mi, a 12-hour roasted brisket with sauteed snap peas, Thai basil chimichurri, and yuzu pho broth.
Farina Pizza – Section 106
This isn’t your average arena ‘za. Straight from San Francisco’s Mission District, Farina Pizza offers hand-tossed gourmet pizzas and salads. Choose from the classic margherita or pepperoni, plus the occasional rotating specialty pizza.
Kinders California BBQ – Section 120
With an in-house smoker, Kinders serves up the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and smoky barbecue. Rumor has it the pulled pork sandwich with house-made slaw is the best thing on the menu, but don’t forget to grab a side of creamy potato salad. You won't need an Oakland Arena seating map to find this place – just follow your nose!
Smokin’ Oakland Grill – Section 208
Sometimes you just want classic stadium grub – no need to reinvent the wheel here! This Club 200 spot serves up standard garlic fries, chicken strips, burgers, and dogs. If your hands aren’t too full of encased meats, grab a beer from the Coors Light Club, which is right across the way.
The Landing – Section 123
Just because you’re at an arena doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy good seafood. You are in the Bay Area, after all. Stop by The Landing for a Dungeness crab sandwich, creole shrimp sandwich, or a jalisco-style shrimp cocktail.
Newton’s Southern Comfort – Section 223
Check out Newton’s for stadium food with a southern twist. If you’re really doing it right, opt for the Super Southern Combo, which includes fried shrimp, catfish, wings, and fries. It's not fancy, but it definitely satisfies a craving.
Healthy Picks – Section 127 & 880 Club
In partnership with Kaiser Permanente, Oakland Arena offers a unique dining destination for those who want to enjoy the game while sticking to their healthy eating plan. Using only fresh ingredients, the Healthy Picks food stands offer vegan and vegetarian choices, including pre-packaged salads and fruit cups. There are a few locations, so check out the Oakland Arena seating chart to find them easily.
Anchor Steam Sixth Man Saloon – Section 123
For local SF craft brews, visit Anchor Steam’s outpost on the main concourse. You’ll find classic standbys, as well as some new taps. They’ve even been known to create limited-edition brews for Golden State Warriors fans when the team played here, like the 2018 California Lager, whose bottle design gave a nod to the team’s “Strength in Numbers” motto.
Stella Artois Lounge – Section 101
This full-service bar pours cocktails, wine, and beer. Just don’t expect that iconic Stella chalice – all brews are served in plastic. If you don't have a great Oakland Arena seat view, head to the lounge as a backup plan, and enjoy!
Budweiser Club – Section 113
Featuring hand-carved sandwiches, tacos, and even Asian stir-fry, the Budweiser Club offers an upscale sports bar experience, with HD TVs throughout and multiple food stands. Pouring brews from the Anheuser-Busch family of beers, the club is open from 90-minutes before gametime to an hour after it ends.
