“I just wanted to give a good review to a young lady named Leilani because i went to watch the movie Together and was late to the show time , she was very patient with me when i was trying to figure out another movie. she was very sweet and definitely is the reason i will be back to watch more movies. we need more people out there with her great attitude and customer service!”

“I loved It here, super nice is an understatement, staff helpful, and my room was incredible, I got a later flight just to stay a few more hrs.. check out at NOON. LOL! Use a booking app and you'll be stunned at the price. Seriously your cheating yourself not to stay here. Check out my pics.”

“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.”

“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?”

“Amazing venue and amazing owners. Moe and his entirely family were incredibly helpful in every step of the process for my engagement party. Would 100% recommend to anyone for any event.”

“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.”

“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”

“Beautiful Venue! I attended a wedding here with my wife a couple weeks ago and the venue and grounds were amazing. You feel like you are in the middle of no where but are in the middle of a neighborhood. Lots of rules to follow but they staff makes up for it. The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the venue was stunning.”

“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!”

“We did a tour of Redwood Canyon with Jacoby and absolutely loved her. After scheduling, she reached out to confirm the appointment and gave helpful directions. At the appointment itself, she was a wealth of knowledge and struck the right balance between sharing information and giving us time to take in the space.

While we ended up chosing another venue due to availability of dates, I absolutely would have loved working with Jacoby. She came across as passionate about celebrating love and highly capable. You're in good hands working with her!”

“This place was very easy to find and the event held there was first class. Fiji indian idol. FANA was held here. Awesome night. Worth while, the food, the host was just breathtaking ?”

“My wife and I became members here and have no regrets. Great location next to the estuary and Jack London Square. We have tried all of their wines through having their flights. When we come we like to eat something with it so we have tried the almonds, olives,Brie, bread, pizza and salad with chicken. No complaints. The service has always been on point. Join or visit!”

“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”

“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.”

Great I want to give a resounding shout-out to Ariel and Patrick, the proprietors of this amazing establishment. I have been to events at ShotClock 3 times and am always impressed by this space and by them. I am hosting an event there soon and they made it so easy to book the space. 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!”

“Lots of different themed toy sections for kids to play. Not a huge space but enough to play in each themed section. Workers were nice and they regularly made the rounds to put toys back into their themed section so toys won't be missing for it (ie doctor toys for the doctor office area)Great add to the Castro Valley community”

“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.”

“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 had my parents celebration of life service there at Eagles Hall and it was AMAZING !!! Although it was a gloomy and emotional day the staff at Eagles Hall was exceptional !!! they took care of all our needs . A special shout out to Ernie and i believe her name was Donna ( the bar tenders ) for making it a smooth day. and also Judi Tansey. THANK GUYS ! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING EAGLES HALL. ??”

“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 perfect venue for my husband's Celebration of Life. Beautiful venue. , Bright, immaculate and spacious and a awonderful kitchen for my caterer to set up. Plenty of parking and easy access for disabled guests. Management was very nice to work with too. I would highly recommend this venue for your gathering.”

“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!”

“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.”

“When we initially toured this venue, it checked of all of our boxes for what we were looking for in a venue. We really appreciated the layout and how it wasn’t the typical ballroom ceremony/ reception environment. It was more of a whimsical outdoor garden vibe, which we loved! There were different areas in the venue where guests can hang out and explore and it wasn’t strictly just the dance floor.

The only challenges we had with Wildwood were some of the communication with Lien (owner). Some things were unclear at times and it was very difficult to get outside vendors approved. Her preferred DJ abruptly quit on us a month before our wedding and she was really pushing on having us book her other preferred DJ, who we were not very interested after talking to him. We understand the precaution of wanting professional vendors on site, but the process of even getting professional outside vendors wasn’t very smooth.

However, Dan and Lien (owners) did rise to the occasion when our wedding coordinator failed to show up at our rehearsal. Dan confidently and clearly led the rehearsal and he was so kind and patient to us and our wedding party, especially when we were feeling pretty stressed with the wedding coordinator not showing up. The wedding coordinator was supposed to collect our items (favors, programs, etc) to set up for the next day, and Dan and Lien were very kind and let us store them in the clubhouse that night, which is typically is not allowed, so we appreciated them accommodating us with that!

Their staff on the day of was also amazing! They all looked pretty young, but they were so professional and kind. Our guests also loved the dog!”

“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.”

“The Rossmoor Chamber Music Society performs at the Rossmoor Event Center to full houses. World-class professional string quartets, piano trios, quintets, are the staple events. We love it. Incredible music at great value.”
