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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The cast & crew enjoyed the area so that we could rehearse scenes from Ghosted, which is now available on sites like Tubi (https://link.tubi.tv/evpZji8i5Mb). I would definitely book with Oakstop again for our next production. This is an amenity that should not disappear from the community.

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. I would recommend having more than just one restroom however. There could be another one on the upstairs level already, of course.

I had a good run here during the COVID years. 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

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. I highly recommend this venue--you won't be disappointed!

The venue itself is beautiful with a great layout -- it was the perfect setting for my wife's…read morebirthday party. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the staff. The bartender had a very dry attitude, and the on-site manager came across as rude and unprofessional throughout the night. We were even told to dispose of the last trunk of garbage ourselves because their bins were full. While several of us stayed late to help clean and move furniture back, the manager questioned one of our guests about a trash bag she had provided, as if he were doing something wrong -- when he was only trying to help. Overall, the space is great, but the people you're left to deal with could use more professionalism, appreciation, and customer service.

Artthaus Studios is a workspace for anyone in the community to rent out for a place of their own to…read morework out of. There is also a private parking lot here, so it is convenient. 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.

This is the most unethical company I have ever had the misfortune of working with. I have been…read morewithout working appliances for three months, and they have completely given me the run around. As soon as I requested discussing a mutual lease termination given the conditions and poor pattern of communication, they stopped communicating with me entirely.

The Office is near reasonable parking for the meeting participants, too, when compared to the other public garages. Kyle, the receptionist, was helpful and friendly. The hourly rate was reasonable, too, when compared to other coworking spaces nearby. I highly recommend this alternative when you are trying to work or have meetings in downtown Berkeley. It's a few blocks off Shattuck Avenue, but it's worth the short stroll.

I came here for a tour and decided to opt-out on signing up. It was expensive compared to other…read moreplaces I was visiting and parking is kind of challenging. The phone booths are very tiny refurbished closets. They have more dedicated desks and offices than open space for those who just want to squat down for the day. Plenty of outlets though, both on the wall and floors. The design and interior are colorful and well designed just a lot smaller than what I was looking for.
