Urban Wine Bar in West Oakland's upcoming Prescott Area

Free street parking

Generally plenty of parking within 2 blocks on the same street as our Wine Bar. Occasionally people indicate they had difficulty finding parking on adjacent streets, which is true. That's why I tell them to park on our street, not the other streets. Peerspace keeps the street address hidden until you book the place, so if you have specific questions about where to park, send us a note and we'll tell you exactly where to find all the easy parking.

20 foot windows along one side of the building. Sheer drapes that shade the space but do not block out much of the light.

Very little noise from the neighbors. Some street noise and sidewalk noise, but it is not a busy street.

There are steps to the front entrance, but for loading purposes, or for handicapped access, there is a private ADA approved ramp that leads to a private side entrance, which can be used under supervision of the host.

The rental space is 100% open to the guests, however there is a doorway to a 2nd floor, and this is neither part of the rental nor accessible for guests.

Modern residential quality circuit system. Standard 110V electrical. GFI circuits on kitchen outlets.

No outside alcohol allowed. We sell wine and a simple assortment of non-alcoholic beverages. Our wine prices are reasonable. If you would like to pay for the wine in advance, or if you are looking for a special deal or particular wines, let us know in advance and we can give you a quote on that. Guests may bring food, or have it catered - we can provide simple things like peanuts and pretzels and chips, but we do not have a commercial kitchen and we cannot offer prepared foods - unfortunately that's the law. The kitchen is not big enough for full food preparation on site, but we do offer simple kitchen amenities for warming and serving prepared food. Please arrive with it ready to be warmed and served. The space is attached to a residential building, so music and noise must be kept to a reasonable level. No smoking, no pets without prior approval. Guests are not allowed access to the private residential areas of the complex. Although we may be serving wine, children under 21 may be allowed with adequate supervision if cleared with the host in advance. The host, or a representative, will be on site at all times. You may bring an iPod or other music source to use with our sound system, or you can make use of our Pandora account or log into your own Spotify account, but no outside sound systems or other noise producing devices are allowed. We need to control the volume. No one is allowed behind the bar or in the kitchen unless given permission by the attendant. This is an active business outside of Peerspace hours, so if you need extra time to set up or to clean up, you will need to reserve that time. If you need audio-visual equipment, let us know in advance, and for best results, give us a copy of the file or disc or dvd or whatever you have in advance so we can test it. We may not be able to set up the required equipment on the day of your event, so let's get this figured out ahead of time. We have surveillance cameras in place to ensure the safety of our guests and property. Acceptance of this contract assumes that the host and the guests are aware of this and approve of it.

We can move the furniture, but we cannot leave it outside the building unless there is a van or something like that to put it into.
