I will be at a concert in a few weeks Saturday night in Oakland which most likely will be done around 11pm and so I look for a place either in Oakland or San Francisco for a late night dinner around midnight. I was hoping to find some non-fast food places - a place with cocktails would be an additional bonus (something along the lines of the late night menu at Red Medicines or The Pikey in LA would be great). Normally I end up at Lost & Found but would like to explore new options
East Bay Spice Company in Berkeley is open until 2 (both kitchen and bar). In Oakland there’s Dan Sung Sa and Blind Tiger. Similar Korean places in SF are open until 2 plus some izakayas and Chinese.
Good call on the East Bay Spice Company - perfect Indian food for a midnight dinner (Bhaji and Lamb Tikka Masala) and very good cocktails
Just to add that ABV in the Mission is another good option for late night cocktails and food (kitchen is open until midnight) - very good burger
Have you read The Midnight Diners on KQED?
No - thanks a lot, looks very interesting!

ABV is good.
There used to be more late-night options in SF. Several years back, the play after a night of drinking was either Sam Wo or New Sun Hong Kong for late-night noodles (until 3am), Tselogs for Filipino rice (until 3am), or Tommy’s Joynt for hofbrau (until 2am).
New Gold Medal in Oakland is once again open until 3:00 am.
