A throwback to the 1930s with its art deco architecture.
Reviewed By Cruiser62569790470 - Oakland, United States
The Paramount is a beautiful theatre in the art-deco style in uptown Oakland, California. Great place to see music and theatrical shows. Recently I have had the pleasure of enjoying the music of Lila Downs, The Whispers, as well as the Oakland Ballet's Nutcracker. There are also free tours of the theatre during the week.
