Keep Eli's Mile High Club Alive in Oakland

After months of negotiating with the city, code enforcement officers red-tagged Eli’s Mile High Club’s patio in November 2024. This came as a surprise since fire marshals and health department officials had previously inspected and had no issue with the space.

Our patio generated a huge source of income and has impacted the many ways we serve our community. This includes hosting benefits for non-profit organizations, market events featuring local artists and business, spotlighting local chefs and future brick and mortar restaurants, local festivals, and private events to name a few.

At this time Eli's is in danger of closing its doors. We are reaching out to our beloved community for help with supporting this historic venue through recently imposed city restrictions and zoning issues on its ability to "Make Fun Easy" and reopen the Eli's patio.

Eli's has been forced to downsize employment, reduce its hours, reallocate income to get through the zoning process, and it has taken its toll.

Please give what you can to help the legacy of Eli's to continue making Oakland a place of Arts and Culture.

All funds donated are not tax deductible and will be used strictly to get through zoning, permitting, and the restructure of the patio according to the city request.
