Steven Stewart year ago
I love this place! Had an amazing time the first time I came here. The second time the dance floor wasn't open, but I am hoping it will be the next time I come around. They are fast to respond to concerns and will respond promptly. The balcony is amazing and they even have a little back patio area when you need to chill. Drinks are a good price. Come out and support a local, black/asian owned business!

Awesome venue to go dancing in Oakland with full bar and smoking section in the back. Would highly recommend checking their IG or website before visiting to see what kind of music they'll play for the evening.

Pretty solid place. Had a lot of fun last night with 3ballmty. Definitely would come back. First hour is happy hour so be early!!!

One bartender, with a beard was very rude. Very unprofessional. No free water like one of the reviews had described. The DJ mix was like a rollercoaster. The crowd was young. I'm not coming back. This event was not what I thought it would be.

Came here to see Larussel perform and it was great. Smaller venue made for an awesome concert experience and the drinks were good too.

Nice small venue. The frozen slushie was delish. Back patio area has really cool graffiti style art on the walls.

Great Venue for electronic music. Ample room to find your spot to dance or socialize. Sound system is loud so bring some ear plugs! Oh I almost forgot, they have free ice water! Alot of clubs don't offer free water and gouge people for a basic necessity when dancing!
