Tucked in an alley off of Broadway and 23rd Street in uptown Oakland, Drake's Dealership is a full-service restaurant with 32 beers on tap. A bit of history - this classic brick building on Oakland's historic Broadway Auto Row was once the sales and service department of an old Dodge Dealership.
For our reunion, we will be gathering in the beautiful outdoor beer garden, which features fire pits and Adirondack seating. It's a sunny spot, but there are trees offering dappled shade. Of course, it's always a good idea to bring a hat.
This is a late afternoon/early evening party, so we will be serving a variety of light bites and appetizers. Beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be available at a no-host bar.
There are several options for nearby parking, including validated parking by Drake's Dealership at the Hive Oakland parking lot located at 24th Street & Broadway.
We will provide detailed information about all of the parking options as we get closer to the big event.

For those of you who are coming from out of town and would like to stay in a nearby hotel, here are a few suggestions:
• Claremont Hotel in Berkeley - I'm sure you all know it. Beautiful but pricey.
• Kissel Uptown Oakland by Hyatt - Very near the venue and also pricey.
• Moxy Oakland Uptown - Also very close to the venue and more affordable.
Of course there are numerous more downtown Oakland hotels that you will find on the internet. And there's also Airbnb.
Get Involved!
Our committee has had a great time meeting (virtually, so far) to plan this fun gathering! But we could use a few more helping hands as we flesh out the details! Specifically, we are hoping for volunteers to help with the following tasks:
- Photograph the party and make photos available for download post-event
- Help out with setup and cleanup
If you can help us out, please contact Lachlann Kane at [email protected] or Dave Zischke at [email protected]. Thanks!
