Some people believe that Berkeley is too forward thinking, or even un-American. We believe that Berkeley is uniquely American. Americans speak out for injustice, Americans believe in the power of the people. Many great social movements either began in Berkeley or were given strength by UC Berkeley’s unique voice. Our beautiful building has been around since 1926. It has born witness to Berkeley’s unique contribution to many historic events of the 20th century. Formerly owned by the Presbyterian Church, our dining room was a haven and protector for students self expression at times that those in charge did not always believe in this freedom. Indeed, during the Free Speech Movement of the early 1960s, Reverend John Hadsel invited the organizers of the FSM into the space that is now our dining room when they were not allowed to congregate on campus.

Is pool more your game? Feel free to play and game or two on our regulation sized table, custom finished in Cal colors.

You are now able to enjoy seating in our heated back courtyard, and will soon be able to dine in our front garden, with tables made from the reclaimed Memorial Stadium bleachers.

While we do not take reservations for our main dining room, we do take reservations for our private dining room.
