Alameda County and Contra Costa County restaurants have reopened for outdoor dining, and we’re focusing on what we know: Which places are opening back up and what to expect based on the state-wide restrictions. Like you, we’re monitoring the situation day-by-day (more like hour-by-hour), and we’ll continue to update this guide as restaurants in Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and other East Bay cities reopen.
Currently, the majority of East Bay restaurants have not yet reopened their dining rooms. For our full guide of takeout and delivery options in the area, check out the East Bay Takeout & Delivery Directory.
