Oakland’s Premier PRIVATE Rooftop VENUE
We’re excited to usher High 5ive Rooftop Bar into its next phase as a space for private events and special activations at Kissel Uptown Oakland, in a shift away from being open regularly to the public. This new chapter allows us to focus on hosting memorable corporate events, intimate gatherings, and thoughtfully curated programs that continue to celebrate and engage our local community. By partnering with neighborhood organizations and businesses, we’re proud to offer guests classic cocktails and savory American comfort cuisine while remaining deeply rooted in Oakland’s Uptown district.
