Upstage? I lived in Oakland from 08-13 while in school and never heard of this

the upstage was a bar, a club, and a clubhouse. punks & goths and everyone in between. 80s nights were thursdays; saturday was goth night. live band karaoke one night... free pool tables, dirt cheap drinks. i was so sad when it closed. james and dave were the best bartenders ever. i still rock my upstage tshirt from time to time.

It closed in 2006 and became an ija for a spell. the deli case was were the bar once stood.
