Business Owner

Brothers, Daniel and Benjamin, grew up in Berkeley and have lived in Oakland since 2007. They opened their first bar together in 1997 in Berkeley's Shattuck Hotel with a smoking lounge and DJs, which soon became a favorite for locals. Daniel went on to open Shattuck Down Low in 2001 where they hosted great parties and local and international artist as well. They opened Room 389 along with Jamie B. in Oakland in 2010, one of the great gems of Adams Point. When Shattuck Down Low's lease was not renewed in 2012 they moved their license to Mad Oak and started the 2 year process of revitalizing the building. As East Bay natives they are excited and proud to add this great new space to Oakland.
