Premier Summer Event Venues in Oakland

Oakland’s summer scene demands spaces as dynamic as its culture, and STAK Space delivers with a collection of distinct venues designed for every type of gathering. From sky-high terraces to indoor/outdoor lounges, each of our premier summer event venues in Oakland offers a unique atmosphere, ensuring your event finds its perfect setting, whether corporate, creative, or celebratory.

 

The Podium Deck: Elevated Open-Air Gatherings

The largest open-air STAK Space, our expansive outdoor podium deck blends urban sophistication with premium functionality. Customizable seating and modular layouts adapt effortlessly to rooftop yoga sessions, speaker series under the sun, or golden-hour cocktail receptions. Its downtown views, built-in staging, and plentiful parking make it a favorite for brands and groups seeking an inspiring, photogenic backdrop.

 

The Cocktail Pool: Resort-Style Networking

Included as part of the podium deck,  the Bay Area’s most interesting conversations happen  where the water’s fine and the deals are even better. The cocktail pool isn’t just another event space, it’s Oakland’s answer to the soul-crushing corporate retreat. Here, productivity meets play in a setting that’s 100% pure East Bay cool.

 

The Grill Yards: Curated Culinary Experiences

Another feature of the podium deck is the BBQ-equipped outdoor kitchens perfect for hands-on culinary events. Imagine chef-led craft burger workshops, smoky whiskey-paired dinners, or startup launch parties where sizzling sliders fuel connections. Explore our campus event catalog to learn more about the podium deck and additional summer event venues.

 

The Taproom: Craft Beverage Hub

Inspired by Oakland’s Brewery District, this pour-your-own digital taproom showcases Northern California’s best breweries and wineries. Teams bond over pints during offsites, while friends and colleagues enjoys a crisp brew paired with delicious local eats around the neighborhood. Doors open directly to the outdoor podium deck, merging pours with fresh air.

 

The Sky Terraces: Intimate Cityscape Moments

Perched above the gorgeous residences at 1900 Broadway, these sky-high spaces offer privacy with a view. Think VIP speaker lounges for conferences, founder dinners, or sunrise meditation circles. The terraces’ modular furniture allows for rapid transforms, from daybreak strategy sessions to late-night galas.

 

The Sky Lounge: Premium Penthouse Event Space

For those seeking an indoor event space that blends urban energy with skyline grandeur, the 39th Floor Sky Lounge at 1900 Broadway redefines rooftop luxury. Perched high above Oakland, this sleek indoor-outdoor lounge offers 360-degree views of the Bay Area, from the glittering downtown skyline to the Golden Gate Bridge’s distant silhouette.

 

The Swing Suite: Test Your Skills Against Competition

For those seeking a high-tech entertainment experience that blends competition with urban sophistication, STAK Space’s premium swing suite redefines indoor events. More than just a golf facility, this cutting-edge system transforms into a multi-sport arena capable of baseball, football, and other interactive games, all while maintaining the elevated atmosphere you expect from our venues.

 

Why STAK’s Multi-Venue Model Works

Unlike single-room venues, the STAK campus lets you design a multi-zone experience. Host a keynote on the podium deck, then flow guests to the 39th floor for VIP networking. Shift grill-side dining to terrace after-parties without changing locations. This fluidity, paired with Oakland’s central access, makes STAK the ultimate summer host.
