“Per the setup at the first event I'd attended there (Camp Kamala), venue had plenty of space for multiple tables, a stage at one end, buffet & drink station at the other end, and multiple accessible restrooms along one side. Venue is ADA accessible & is right near #12 AC Transit stops, Amtrak & a short walk to the Ferry at Jack London Square. It's a short bus ride to/from the 12th Street BART Station, and there's some street parking, as well as Parking Lots nearby. It's literally a block over from the Amtrak station. (I was tempted to take an Amtrak to the Richmond Station, even though it would cost more than taking a bus to BART, because I enjoy chilling on an Amtrak train. If a train already at the station hadn't been "last call" while I waited for the #12, I probably would've gotten a ticket for the next one, but I just wanted to get home & nap. heh heh)
During the event, I happened to sit in a seat smack dab below an air vent, so I was a bit cold the whole day. But if you know someone who always runs hot, maybe they would love to sit in that exact same spot. I'm sure the event space is also versatile enough to make sure tables aren't or are under an air vent, depending on your needs.
The outside is a bit industrial, but hip. This event space would definitely be great for office parties, launch events, etc.”
“Scene was the perfect spot for my daughter’s Sweet 16! There was plenty of parking, and the space was super roomy with tables and chairs already provided. The little kitchen and three bathrooms were great too! Working with Toby was super easy. He was so responsive and accommodating. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze. I’d definitely book this place again! Highly recommend!”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Beautiful industrial rehab space; great vibe; warm/welcoming/eclectic group of peeps -- just some of the reasons TW has been voted Best Co-working Space in the East Bay 4 years running. Sara and Flora do an amazing job creating community here. I've worked at many Bay Area co-working spaces over the years, and this is by far the best!”
“Rosenblum is a great place to come for wine and snacks. No real food served but the cheeses, breads and other go great with the wine. Also has salads and pizzas which are okay. Great service and reasonably priced.”
“This venue was perfect for what we wanted! We wanted a small wedding of 50 guests and I was looking for a place with some scenery and not just a boring hall that needed a lot to look beautiful. We were on a small budget so we also needed something at a reasonable price. This place hit all that and more. All of our guests loved the venue and it helped that it was a beautiful sunny day. The garden area made for a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and great for photos. The lake was beautiful with all the ducks swimming around. I loved everything about this venue and definitely recommend it if you are having a small wedding.”
“Accessible entry & clean building! Absolutely beautiful piece of Oakland history kept alive & functional. Used as office space & professional events.”
“This winery is a welcome locale in Jack London Square, very relaxed & inviting staff and wine maker! Great variety of wine varietals of great quality from Sonoma County and Northern California vineyards. Great customer experience in a friendly and jovial environment.”
“This is a fantastic show if you are into Edgar Allan Poe or even just fancy cocktails. The drinks coordinate with the poems/stories in the show. The actors are amazing. Perfect opportunity to show off your fancy cocktail attire as well.”
“I had my wedding here at Fairview Metropolitan and it was the MOST AMAZING DAY EVER! For starters Angela Muse helped us from start to finish on planning our day and every little detail in between! She was amazing to work with, she was clear, communicative, friendly and organized which is everything you want when you are planning your wedding! When I arrived at my reception I was blown away by the decor and how beautiful every detail was! Thank you so much Angela for all of your hard work and support in making my dream reception!!!
The vendors that are connected to Fairview that I opted into having was DJ Keel and Ting at Montclair Florist. DJ Keel was a phenomenal MC and met with us ahead of time to get an idea of how we wanted our wedding MC'd as well as what we wanted our music to be like and let me tell you he achieved it!!! My guests were laughing, entertained and raving about the music all night! Thank you Dj Keel!
I coordinated with Ting from Montclair Florist and although we did not talk much I have to say my bouquet and center pieces were the most beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen! The flowers were stunning and she ran with the ideas I had and made it the most beautiful arrangement ever!!
My guests were raving about the food and we were so supported by KeeKee our Banquet Manager! She checked in on us and made sure we were good throughout our reception!
Book with Fairview you will not regret it the venue is beautiful and open, the tented pavilion is gorgeous, the food is delicious and the staff are phenomenal!!! Thank you Fairview for making the reception of my dreams!!!!”
“The wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary and renewed our vows with the help of Amanda and her team at the Overlook! The event was beautiful and amazing! We utilized the garden space and pond then transitioned our guest to the covered patio area thereafter. It was a beautiful July afternoon and photos we absolutely gorgeous given the stunning layout! The celebration was stress free for us, as Amanda and her team seamlessly coordinated with the vendors ensuring our ability to enjoy our guests and the celebration! We highly recommend you explore this venue and ask for Amanda Scimia, she’ll take great care of you!”

“The owner is always hospitable I usually go to Taava kitchen. Today I was on my way to the beauty supply....on a quest for food before heading back home. I followed the sound of the live DJ and was pleased to find it was coming from a place I get food from a bit regularly.Chef Alreca's food is delicious! Thank you for the environment and the food and thank you to Forage for hosting this wonderful Chef.Will be following more of her.”
“Edit: Opportunities for sliding scale and time trade are now being offered for events! Ask your event coordinator to be sure as it's still dependent on each event to adopt this offering.----------Decent venue structurally: sound is good and floors are nice. Yet for a community space in OAKLAND the prices aren't very reflective of the capitalized oppression of those less privileged in the surrounding neighborhood. I have asked multiple times about sliding scales, or pricing options for those less monetarily advantaged. There has been no response or apparent consideration of these marginalized people who need community and a space much more than anyone who currently "supports" the space with fiat currency. ?I hope this may spark a review of the monetary practices employed and culminate in more choices to allow everyone the opportunity to participate.”
“We had my brother in laws birthday party there it was awesome. The food was great and the atmosphere was really nice. The staff was fantastic and the birthday party was a huge success and everyone had a great time!”
“Oakland Nature Friends is a nature-loving hiking club and an excellent place for yearly German dances and German festivals. I attended the Biergartenfest 2018 and it is such a beautiful location. I enjoyed the entertainment. The costumed NF Schuhplatter dancers were fun. The German beer and food was delicious. I can't wait for Octoberfest.”
“Rented Warehouse416 for my parents surprise 70th birthday party this last weekend. Such an amazing spot. Christine was very kind and patient with our indecisiveness in the setup and let us move things around as needed and to our liking. I really enjoyed the party and this space! I highly recommend.”
“Really grateful to know we have spaces like this & to be apart of it. Ty Oakstop for being here for black entrepreneurs & what you're offering to our community.”
“Hosting events at The Alice Collective is an absolute pleasure. It's been perfect for executive offsite dinners. And, I can imagine holding a reunion or birthday party there as well. The bar service and menus are a highlight of all our gatherings. And the outdoor palm patio is an added bonus.”
“Limited parking on street, but very nice place to have your events. Indoor or outdoor activities can be comfortable can't wait to book for my own first event”
“What a fun race! Well managed and focused on supporting Runners. The community comes out and cheers you on as you get an awesome tour of Berkeley! The last couple of miles is all hills and I fell off my pace but I still had a great run and finished with a 00:01:52!”
