This sophisticated cocktail bar and event space is located in the historic district of Old Oakland, just one block from the Oakland Convention Center. The venue offers 2,500 square feet of versatile space designed for corporate and social gatherings.

The space is well-suited for a variety of event types, including corporate meetings, executive retreats, product launches, micro weddings, social celebrations, and networking mixers.

The venue accommodates events with professional staffing, comprehensive audio-visual capabilities, and in-house catering options. The service area primarily focuses on Oakland and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Key features and amenities included with the event space are:

  • Full premium bar service with house-crafted cocktails, imported beers, and premium spirits
  • Club-quality intelligent lighting and a state-of-the-art Opus audio system
  • Dual projectors and comprehensive A/V support for presentations
  • Warm, upscale decor with varied seating: banquettes, lounge areas, and high-top communal tables
  • In-house catering menu options available

The ambiance is intimate yet sophisticated, featuring warm wood tones, ambient lighting, and historic architectural details that complement the Old Oakland neighborhood. The layout encourages both focused discussion and casual mingling.

Clients frequently highlight the seamless event execution and the quality of the craft cocktails. One client noted, "The professional staff and incredible audio system made our product launch a standout success," while another mentioned, "It was the perfect, elegant backdrop for our intimate wedding reception."

The space is designed for ease of planning, offering a single point of contact for coordinating bar service, catering, and A/V needs. This integrated approach is ideal for corporate clients seeking a streamlined experience and for social hosts planning milestone celebrations.
