Bridge Storage, Arts and Events

Best storage place in the Bay Area as an arvest gallery, art shops, food trucks, and the greatest people!

I love to come here for the art shows. And each time I think I'm going to spend a wee little bit of time and spend hours. There is some interesting art installation, an experimental movie playing, or something. It's nice to see the community of artists who come through and support each other, and all of this in the great city of Richmond (no sarcasm implied). It's hidden and tucked away, but it's worth the effort to seek them out.In December, they are having a crafts and art sale and I can't wait to go! Last year, I left with some real gems and this year? Who knows, but I bet it'll be good.

I love this place. I look for excuses to visit my storage space. Super friend staff and always something interesting going on.

Enjoyed the wonderful, creative and diverse display of handmade instruments, you can play with most of them. It looks like a great environment for artists to work and rent space. Check their website for current shoes and docent lead tour.

I went to a wonderful open house at Bridge Storage and ArtSpace last night. They had artists selling their crafts and fine art hanging on the walls. I am really impressed with this business! Thank you Bridge Storage and everyone involved with "The More the Merrier" holiday event. Next year, I am bringing more money!

Hidden gem of Richmond. I went here to see a resonance show and was blown away. So great that this space is supporting local musicians and artists, especially crackdowns on artist coops since Ghostship. For a very reasonable admission, $10 I attended a show and was permitted viewing of the museum(s). On display are local artist creations. Seeing recycled items be transformed into musical instruments was really fascinating. The whole vibe here is super welcoming and lively. Staff are friendly, the corridors are filled with plants and art installations. Sort of reminds me of Oakland's Fairyland but for adults.

Major rodent problems that are not dealt with. If you are in a roll up expect massive amounts of dust and dirt to blow in. If you want to learn more check out my site about the horrible experiences I had. The pictures are worth a thousand words. In response to their comments about contacting Vector Control it is not true. I contacted Vector Control not Bridge about this potentially dangerous health issue. Contact Vector Control if you doubt me. Why Bridge continued to ignore this issue was a mystery to me.http://synapsedigi.com/bridge/

Neighborhood is sketchy...Like "belongs in season 1 of The Wire" sketchy.Like "those guys standing around at the end of the block are waiting to either sell you drugs or shoot you" sketchy.That said, the storage space itself is very nice. It's well maintained. Security seems very reasonable. You are 200 yards away from people who kill people for fun and sell illegal drugs for money, but that 200 yards is pretty darn meaningful. Because it doesn't feel unsafe once you are inside the gate.But if you have ANYONE in your life that will need to come to your storage unit (spouse, parent, neighbor, etc) that might freak out when surrounded by drug dealers, yeah, you may want to think twice about renting here.

I agree with everything the previous poster said. This place is awesome. I had bad experience trying to book at another place in berkeley in which everything that could go wrong did. I called Bridge Self Storage and a super nice woman answered the phone right away (I called 5 places that never answered the phone) and she patiently answered all of my questions that I learned to ask from my bad experience at the other place.The staff are professional, friendly and warm. The facility is high security, so you feel safe there even though it's in a rough neighborhood. The access to the units is easy and one story. One of the managers even poured me a glass of wine on my last load of the day! Not that that is standard...he just happened to be having one when I showed up at closing and offered me some. I recommend this place to everyone who likes dealing with cool, family owned businesses and needs storage.It's worth the 15 minute drive from downtown berkeley. Oh, and they even offered to put a link to my photography website on their website in exchange for linking to theirs. How cool is that?!

Nice facility for projects and storage. They have wood shop and metal shop memberships as well as many storage units in a gated complex.
