Intimate Studio Space In The Heart of North Park
spacious. It was nice to have access to a bathroom and sink in the space. The location is hidden and located next to a bar and parking is a bit challenging in the area for guests. The bar is a bit noisy. We did have a breathwork component to our...

Intimate Studio Space In The Heart of North Park
really straight forward. Clean up was seamless with the dumpsters so close. Would love to rent again! Only thing is the music at the bar next door is loud until 10pm. You couldn’t hear it with the music we had so it was no problem but if you don...

Rad Tiki Bar with Nautical and Tropical Decor
Bar itself is quite honestly, awesome. It is fully adorned with the coolest décor and ambiance, all cleverly arranged around a bar stand and pub seats. While enjoying the tiki bar, guests are surrounded by nostalgic adornments and surprises from another era. Where else, can you sip your Mai Tai...

staff were very communicative leading up to the event, and the event itself went off without a hitch. The food was excellent, and the bar staff helped keep track of the pre-purchased drinks we organized. We will definitely keep this location in mind for our next social in San...

set up classroom style, there were ample outlets for everyone to use their computers, and everything was super clean. The shared spaces (kitchen, coffee bar, and outside games/picnic area) were perfect for our group's lunch and breaks throughout the day. We will certainly be booking this again when we...
