Pop up and private event venue. Elevated comfort food. Craft cocktails. Friends.

As a former catering company, restaurant and bar turned event venue, we are no longer open for regular restaurant hours. Please check our event calendar to attend upcoming experiences with us, or check out our venue rental offerings to throw your own!

Hidden inside a 140-year-old former Streetcar Barn in the Longfellow neighborhood of North Oakland — Lovely Day is where friends reconnect. Owner Jen McKay has produced a warm and inviting space with ingredient-driven menus.

Our 25-foot vaulted ceilings soar above an elegant and industrial space with a touch of whimsy, met by a spacious outdoor courtyard to give locals and visitors a place to relax and enjoy the best of Oakland. Two diverse and spacious event spaces are available to host your next gathering, concert, birthday, corporate event, holiday party or wedding reception, for up to 500 guests.

Our meal service offerings are designed to be shared — unpretentious, culinarily diverse, packed with flavor and a light heart. Kind of like the Town we call home.

You’re warmly welcomed to join our next event, or host your own unique imaginings at Lovely Day.
