FAQs about Top Unique Event Spaces in Oakland, CA
You can book everything from breweries and cafes to theaters, creative studios and even yachts. For example, Full Out Studios is great for dance events or performances with space for 200 guests, while the Cabernet Sauvignon Yacht gives you floating luxury for up to 350 people. Smaller creative spots like Artthaus Studios are perfect for photo shoots or intimate gatherings.
Most hire fees include basic space rental, seating, and sometimes lighting or sound equipment. Some venues, like All Out Comedy Theater, may include stage lighting or AV setup. For places with a minimum spend model, like Sandbar, the cost usually covers food and drink instead of just the space. Always check the listing details or ask the venue manager directly on Tagvenue.
These spaces are built for creative and social events. You can host anything from pop-ups and launch parties to weddings, team offsites, art shows, or podcast recordings. If you need a small, focused space, Oakland Post-Production/Podcast Studio is great for content creators. If you're planning a large party, booking venues like 7th West or Line 51 Brewing Company is a great choice.
