Attended the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy event this past weekend and thought the venue worked perfectly for this theatrical experience. Though the outside does not look like much, the inside of the ballroom is characterized by ornate patterns on the walls and around the stage, and unique light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. Not a whole lot to be impressed by, as it still looks quite plain and simple overall, sort of like an ordinary conference room. But I guess that's what makes Oakstop special, that it's multi-use. It was fitting for the event I attended, and they set up the seating, decor and lighting just fine. It wouldn't be my first choice for a wedding or other celebratory event though.

They blast music past midnight so loudly I can hear it from a block away.

Recently renovated perfect for your basic wedding reception or birthday party parking lot is an easily accessible always be careful of street parking with a notorious numerous car break-ins hopefully they’ll have the first floor bathrooms in working order for your event but the overall atmosphere of this historic location will satisfy most needs

This was a venue from old Oakland that was converted to a Ballroom for rent. There was so much nostalgia in the decor. It was a very spacious venue for parties with a sizable dance floor.

A retrofitted, classic style venue. It’s a great place to host your parties, it’s off Franklin right before you hit all the nightlife going down 14th street toward Telegraph Ave. They have a good-sized bar in the back , the stage upfront, with a sizable dance floor. My parents actually had their wedding reception here 28 years ago, barely found this out after a party I attended where I needed them to taxi me home after a few too many ?. Would not recommend driving to an event you are attending because cars are known to get broken into especially because you’ll have to park ways away at least a few blocks, on top of paying for parking on weekdays. But no fee for parking on weekends unless you decide to park in a parking structure where usually they have security roaming and cameras.

Old theatrical feel for local actors and other various performers to ply their talents.Nostalgic and comfortable.

The ballroom as a function/event venue is a nice convenient facility. The facility must have been updated in recent years because I noticed that the green room and the restrooms were well maintained and nicely appointed with modern items. Probably did renovation work within the last 7 years. If completed farther back than that, they are doing a superlative job at ongoing maintenance.

Visited it for my wedding. I loved the Art Deco decor, Bar Area, Flexible lighting and huge stage for a band/DJ. Ultimately didn't book it because of availability. Great customer service.
