Where Can I Park? Does Amoeba Validate?
Amoeba Berkeley
We validate one hour free parking with purchase at the Sather Gate public parking garage (2450 Durant Ave). There is street parking available around the Berkeley store, but be careful to look for tow-away zones and other parking restrictions.

We validate one hour free parking with purchase at the Kezar Stadium lot (at Stanyan St. & Beulah St). There is street parking available around the San Francisco store, but be careful to look for tow-away zones and other parking restrictions.
Amoeba Hollywood
Our new location at 6200 Hollywood Blvd is in the “El Centro” complex, which has a large, well-managed parking garage and we'll validate for the first 75 minutes with any in-store purchase.
There are also many parking meters on all three of the surrounding streets (Hollywood, Argyle, and El Centro), as well as a few public lots (Eastown, LA fitness, W Hotel, Fonda Theatre) within a short walk.
