In another edition of Techcrunch‘s Cribs show, they visit Yelp‘s offices in San Francisco. We’ve posted about them before, but it is great to get a bit of the interior of the space. Our friends at O+A designed the entrance and were nice enough to send over some images.

Yelp’s New Office Space

Stephen Searer — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 13:00:21 +0000

Yelp, one of the internet’s most popular destinations for restaurant ratings, recently moved into an old financial services office which needed some work to be compatible with the vision of the company. For starters, they hired Studio O+A and their sister company Pod Office to make the space inhabitable for the company’s numerous employees. If you remember, Studio O+A was the company responsible for the wonderful new Facebook offices.

Studio O+A worked within Yelp’s overall vision of being a large community where people can freely express themselves. It was also important to keep the space regionally appropriate, meaning a mixture of both Victorian and urban elements. You’ll notice crown molding and vintage tin ceiling tiles as well as almost graffiti-like decals and modern furnishings. Cycling is also important to the employees at this location, so adding a bike storage area was a necessity.

O+A was responsible for working on the common areas, while Pod Office deployed the actual workspaces. Workstations are a combination of Pod Office tables and Knoll spines. Other common area furnishings are provided by local vendors. Conference room decor is by CB2, the modern version of Crate & Barrel.

Yelp HQ

Remember when you used to go to bars and restaurants just out of curiosity, and not know whether it was going to be any good? Thanks to our buddy Yelp, we don’t do that anymore. And if we do, we have only ourselves to blame, because doggone it, Yelp tried to warn us.

Yelp has been providing people like you and me the ability to learn about businesses of all types (and tell others, too) for almost 3 years now. Today, we get to see where they do it from. Don’t be fooled by Santa; they aren’t at the North Pole, they’re in San Francisco. And they have a dog! Who wouldn’t trade several co-workers for a puppy that cute.
