Skip the bar — the best energy happens after hours in the roastery.
Escape to Fruitvale’s hidden gem for an evening at Red Bay’s stunning industrial roastery tucked away in Oakland.
The Roastery Unplugged is a casual weekday hangout featuring live soundscapes and behind the curtain cupping sessions in the coffee lab—the professional “slurp and sniff” process used to taste and score coffee like fine wine. It’s a rare chance to see the warehouse in the evening, grab a drink, and wander through the space.
GA ticket includes a complimentary caffeinated beverage.
