STARLINE SOCIAL CLUB LLC

What STARLINE SOCIAL CLUB LLC does

Starline Social Club LLC operates a historic multi-use hospitality and event venue in Oakland, California, housed in a Victorian Oddfellows Hall built in 1893. The 9,000+ square foot facility spans three floors: a first-floor bar and restaurant with an attached speakeasy, a 400-capacity second-floor ballroom, and third-floor green rooms, supporting a combined event capacity of approximately 700 guests. The company also extends operations offsite through catering, AV production, and talent booking services delivered to external clients.

The venue serves a diversified customer base spanning consumer event attendees, private event hosts (weddings, corporate functions, community gatherings), and walk-in bar and restaurant patrons. Revenue is generated through four primary streams: food and beverage sales, event ticket sales, venue rental, and offsite catering. The business operates as a private LLC with no institutional investors and a core team of 14 employees, supplemented by contract and tipped staff as needed for event operations.

The technology stack is composed of commercial vendor integrations rather than proprietary platforms: Meyer Sound for professional AV systems, Rockhouse Partners / ETIX for ticketing, and Resy for restaurant reservations. There is no indication of proprietary software, data products, or AI/ML capabilities. The business model is fundamentally a physical-asset-driven hospitality operation in which the heritage 1893 building and Uptown Oakland Arts District location constitute the core differentiators.
