“The staff were incredible, kind, professional, and full of energy. They made the whole experience even more fun. I absolutely loved the bunker. It was packed with clever tips, exciting clues, and brain teasers that really kept me on my toes. I had such a great time and would 100 percent do it again.”

“I took two teenage girls to this super casual spot on a Sunday afternoon. First time we've thrown axes, and we loved it! There are 5 lanes in the back, with tables and stools, and paper on clipboards if you want to keep score, They provided a tutorial/safety talk at the beginning, and then the freedom to learn by playing. We had two lanes to ourselves, which allowed us to experiment and throw a lot of axes. The other patrons came in couples, and each couple had their own lane.
By the end, we weren't great, but we had a great time. It was a fun and healthy way to get out some energy, practice focus, and just laugh together.”
“This place is quite comfortable with all basic amenities for co-working - nice desks, telephone booths, meeting rooms, coffee etc. If there is one ask, I'd say, make all desks with adjustable heights.”
“I totally love that place! There are so many historical exhibits and history there, and if you're not careful, you might even get spooked by the sailors! ????”
“Bloc15 in Oakland, California, is one of the most vibrant and well-designed event venues I’ve ever experienced. The atmosphere hits you the moment you step inside, industrial yet polished, with sleek lighting and a layout that perfectly balances open energy and intimate vibes. The sound system is clean and powerful, ideal for battles, performances, and parties alike. Every corner feels like it was built for creatives to shine.
I had the honor of competing and winning the “Double or Nothing” popping battle there in 2025, and the energy that night was unreal. The crowd was hyped, the dancers came with heavy styles, and the judges held everyone to a high standard exactly the kind of environment that makes you push past your limits. Bloc15 gave the event a professional yet underground feel, with smooth transitions between showcases, battles, and staged cyphers.
Beyond the dance floor, the venue’s staff were welcoming and on point, making sure everything ran smoothly. Whether it’s a dance event, concert, or private function, Bloc15 delivers the perfect mix of culture, class, and creativity. Oakland’s dance scene felt alive in that space and I’ll never forget the night I took home my first Oakland win?”
“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 coming here with the kids. Cheap on Wednesdays. Tons of memories and great games. A valuable part of the community. Since we live near there, we go there fairly often, and it has never disappointed us. Staff are friendly, and games change occasionally. Kids love it so much my oldest daughter took her friend there and she had a blast. Great for family.”
“I am so glad that I had my wedding here. Wedgewood Wedding helped take away so much of the stress from wedding planning. The staff was incredibly helpful and would give honest feedback on my ideas and goals. I would highly recommend having your wedding here.”

“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.”
“Sometimes you just need a quiet comfortable place to relax and collect your thoughts. The rotunda is perfect for that. Not too many spots in downtown Oakland are quiet and peaceful, the rotunda is”

“Nice people - But they are Elks, what do you expect!
We dry camped, that is all they offer.
The lodge tour was wonderful!!! What a cool lodge building.
They are a block from Main Street Alameda, lots of different food choices.
Try Signal coffee, you will understand how a small shop does coffee better than next door Peet’s or Starbucks.”
“Shoutout to TW for a welcoming coworking environment. I was traveling from out of state and booked a meeting room for a few hours and it was exactly what I needed. I left my laptop charger there and they mailed it back to me no problem. Wish I lived closer !”
“I contacted Phoenix about hosting a memorial service. Saskia responded extremely with a quote and we were able to see the space the next day. Saskia was incredibly friendly and kind. The space is lovely and their service is extremely flexible with respect to food and price, which allows you to really design your own event. It's great to have a space like this in Alameda!”
“Great location, vibes, wine, snacks & service. Friends from SF can come over on the ferry & meet there. Just can’t say enough good things about Rosenblum!”
“Wonderful wine shop with a HUGE selection of reasonably priced wines, as well as a few $$$. The proprietor and staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I ducked in to grab a bottle and asked for a French in the $30-50 range was was pleasantly surprised when they recommended a $32 bottle instead of a $48 bottle. Way to make a sale and get a fan for life! They also do tastings, at least on the Friday I was there. I can't wait to go back and explore their selection more.”
“Truly an amazing winery, teaches you all you need to know about wine! Great service! Good conversation and fun activities for members! Definitely check it out!! The owner is amazing and is very sweet”
“We held our wedding ceremony and reception here. Michelle Sand and the other staff were extremely helpful in making sure everything went smoothly. The views are unbeatable and the building is gorgeous. The in-house catering was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it as an event venue.”
“Absolutely beautiful place and lovely owner Ms. Debbie , great working with Ms. Debbie from beginning to end . Everything was perfect for my milestone birthday, I would definitely rent this facility for any event.”
“I love to dance, especially Argentine Tango. Mat MaMoody has been hosting Tango on Thursdays at Allegro for at least 13 years. He keeps the price low because, as he says, he does it for fun.
As with everything, time takes its toll, and today he spoke of weariness...
Allegro moved to Richmond in 2019, unfortunate timing. COVID and the move has affected business. People are perhaps reluctant to go because of the new location.
I go often, and feel safe enough in the Grocery Outlet parking lot. It's well-lit, and until 9 PM well supervised.
Allegro in Richmond is a gem. It's also a Nonprofit. I love that.
I hope business picks up and it can become as vibrant as it was in Emeryville pre-COVID.
Dancing is good for body and soul. Come dance with me!”
“Great venue! I celebrated my bestfriend's 50th birthday there on 7/25/26. A time was had. The staff were super nice and the bathrooms were well maintained. Elevators are available.”
“The Bridge: an eclectic mix of traditional drive up storage units combined with the added capacity for individualized storage opportunities. Included at this wonderful site is the ability to rent spaces for events including a full size industrial kitchen, pantry, refrigerators and freezers, dishwasher and the safe spaces comfort of 24 hour on site security team and coded entry not to forget they also have a postbox lease service with brand new installations.
Love the Bridge!”

Great I want to give a resounding shout-out to Ariel and Patrick, the proprietors of this amazing establishment.

They are warm and welcoming and are extremely community oriented! They are all about SERVICE! I feel so blessed to have this space available for weddings, parties, baby showers, funeral repasts, community events, etc. YouTube will not be disappointed if you use
this space for your next event!
Thank you both for all that you are and do! Keep up the excellent work!”
“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!!!!”
“First time attending an event at Fraternal Order of Eagles and it was a very pleasant experience. I read a pamphlet about their upcoming events and I will likely attending some of them!”
“Went to an ICF Dinner tonight at the Galileo the event was wonderful the company was great and the food was wonderful. The club has only change a bit over the last 48 years, when my bride's Dad decided we were going have our wedding reception at your club. Well we have not been back until today and it was a warm wonderful experience just like the reception we had. Thank you for keeping our Italian Heritage alive.”
“Amazing experience at VRWePlay. My family enjoyed the games they offered. Our favorite was Elven Assassin.The staff was super attentive to all the details. The place was clean and the music they played there was very cool.We will definitely be back for more fun action!!”

“We had our 48th Encinal HS Reunion last night here and can't say enough about this event space. The all volunteer staff was fabulous to work with and accommodated our every need. Thanks to them our reunion was a success!”
“We absolutely loved having our wedding at this venue. The space is truly beautiful and gave us exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for on our wedding day.
A huge shoutout to Ivy, who was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was always incredibly helpful, quick to respond to questions, and made us feel supported from start to finish. She was also very flexible with our timeline and gracious when a few last-minute shifts came up.
One of our favorite things about the venue was getting to have both an indoor and outdoor experience for our guests. It made the flow of the evening feel really special and gave us the best of both worlds. We’re so grateful we chose this venue and would absolutely recommend it to other Bay Area couples.”
