We came across this hidden gem of a space on a whim, while looking for a venue to host of our kids'…read morejoint birthday parties. The space is absolutely beautiful and a great blank canvas that doesn't need much decorating because it's got what some elders may call "good bones". The owners are really easy to work with and great at outlining all the details up front, so that you know what you are getting. And for the price, it's totally worth it! The space comes with tons of bells and whistles that you would normally pay extra for. That includes a sound system (for a DJ or you can use their Bluetooth and play your own music), light system, industrial fridge, microwave, a built-in selfie or Photo booth green wall, industrial trash cans, tables, and chairs galore. There's also free and plentiful parking located out back, which was a great built-in perk. There are so many things we loved about this space, including the barn door leading to a cute back patio. Great for creating indoor/outdoor space for guests. Ours used it to watch the trains going by, which was a big hit for the kids. The front of the venue is situated right near a loading dock/overhang area, which came decked out with lights and was perfect for our Piñata. There's also space adjacent the loading dock that worked perfectly for a jumper. We really enjoyed renting this space, and our guests absolutely loved it as well. It's the best space for any type of party or event, and worth every penny.

However, my main focus is on the organizers of this event - the Oakland 68's and Last Dive Bar. Indeed the building and the outdoor areas were filled with many vendors selling tee shirts, caps, beer, food, etc. There was also live entertainment (bands, former players, music groups), and some vendors had freebies (swags). I have to give kudos to the two above-mentioned organizers for planning a wonderful Fan Fest for the fans of baseball, all happening in Oakland. They did something that a certain owner has not done since 2019, a fan fest. There were a few former Oakland A's players who appeared and talked to us fans. The owner and DK are determined to take a professional baseball team out of Oakland and have them play in Las Vegas. I did not linger too long indoors at this venue. There were too many people in the building and it is unfortunate that I am claustrophobic. The surrounding areas outdoors had activities. Finally, sitting on some stairs I had to chuckle to myself because this fan fest was taking place not too far from the Oakland A's headquarters, which is located at one end of Harrison Street on the third floor.

Located along a historic corridor in Oakland, it's a funky place to grab a drink and enjoy some Filipino cooking. Tip: Tip your staff! Bartenders may be open to tips in shot form.

There was a live acoustic band trio called Melodious Monk ( I get confusedly the actual name because I think of the Jazz pioneer pianist, Thelonius Monk, which their name is a play off of). Good times had by all at this nice special wine tasting get together, an intimate event where art, conversation and wine were shared.
