Mr. Unger is a former fire fighter who understands of course the imminent need to maintain our fire stations in Oakland. The space is large, open, friendly, attractive and accommodating.

The main event room worked perfectly for our group, and having the kitchen area right there was convenient for breaks. Staff was helpful and responsive when we needed anything. The location on Telegraph is also super accessible. Would definitely recommend Oakstop for events or coworking. It's one of those hidden gems in Oakland that punches above what you'd expect from the street view.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It's nice there are so many non profits in the space…read more Keep in mind that the first floor echoes a lot and there's a non profit where moms leave their screaming crying babies in the main open area so also like many spaces there's absolutely no regard for the quiet rooms and people love talking loudly on the phone. Like there will be a completely empty large room and you're the only one there and someone will decide to have an open cheesy business call right next to you. For such an expensive membership I wish there was more enforcement of quiet spaces since there are many phone booths . The Kaiser garden is great and there's even a cool dance studio ! The rooftop is just great when it's warm! If you're a single female be aware there are polyamorous men here so you'll know whom to avoid and unfortunately a lack of young non Polyamorous men but that's how the cookie crumbles

I'm definitely considering a membership, this space and location are incredible.

It's a few blocks off Shattuck Avenue, but it's worth the short stroll.

I was only using the coworking space, while waiting for my car to get cleaned/detailed, so I did not really get the whole experience of the area/space, but from the photos it looks pretty spacious. The area I was waiting in was artsy and modern, but a small space with complimentary coffee/tea in the shared kitchen and some conference/meeting rooms that probably had to be reserved. It was fairly quiet with only a couple of people using this space the 2 times I have been here, so it felt pretty chill and relaxing.

A special thank you to Saskia, who was excellent throughout the entire planning process--so helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. Levi, our host for the evening, was wonderful--kind, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. And Sherill, the bartender, was fantastic--she made amazing drinks, and we loved that we were able to bring our own alcohol. The venue itself is beautiful, with plenty of space for guests to enjoy comfortably. The handmade wooden tables added such a unique and elegant touch. We also had a taco truck set up in the back, and everything flowed perfectly. Thank you to the entire Phoenix team for helping make my son's celebration so special and memorable.

The ambiance was welcoming and bright. The restrooms were very clean and sanitary. The patio area was open with plenty of outdoor space and seating. In front was plenty street parking near destination. As for the owner he was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. However, the neighbor was problematic. During the middle of games, we were interrupted by the neighbor playing loud unearthly music blasting through a speaker specifically placed in their window towards our party. When asked by the owner to come to a reconciliation she refused and threatened to call patrol. Our party was still fun, but very distracted. The vibes were off, the owner tried to improvise by letting us bring music outside with a minimum volume limit but it didn't help much.

Parking is not the best, it is mostly either paid parking garage/lot parking or street parking (metered). If you do not want to deal with driving/finding parking, BART is literally right there, so it is pretty convenient, just get off at the 12th St/Oakland City Center stop. There are a few friendly front desk receptionists to greet you as well. I feel like the space is fairly clean, and the bathrooms are always clean and fully stocked as well. My favorite part was definitely the many private booths (that look like telephone booths) available to use throughout the shared space to quietly get some work done for a short period of time (there is a time limit to ensure all members and guests have access to these booths). Overall, this is a modern and nice area to work at, but sometimes it gets a bit too loud.
