Very cool older building located just off the gourmet ghetto section of berkeley. Lots of windows and natural light, was a great venue for my daughters wedding. Nice stage with a lot of wood in the building, including hardwood floors.

Beautiful space and great manager, easy to work with and all around great experience renting this venue for our wedding. Theres a kitchen, a stage, a couple of green rooms and nice restrooms. The lighting is beautiful any time of day, and there are tables available with rental. There are other amenities available to rent like the PA system, projector screen, spotlighting, a piano and more. The manager, Araceli, is responsive and flexible, and is a kind and fun person to help with anything needed.Street parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon, no limits on weekends. About a mile from BART and easy to find, near grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and shops. Blocks from some of Berkeleys best food spots!

Our youth choir, Kairos, produces a musical theater/opera performance every season. This year, our usual venue was closed for renovation and we were faced with the need to find a new theater. We knew about the Berkeley Hillsides affinity for classical music, so we thought our program would be a good match. The Hillside Clubs manager Araceli was very responsive and informative about their availability, requirements and willingness to accommodate us. Not only did Araceli understand our needs but she was extremely supportive and volunteered to help us with anything we might need in order to offer a highly successful and professional production.We recommend this venue, not only for the amazing architecture and splendid acoustics, but also for the great communication of our hosts; their openness and their flexibility to accommodate our very specific needs. The venue has a beautiful stage, with ample backstage (a green room upstairs and one downstairs - with access to a bathroom) and it is great for small productions such as ours, or small chamber music concerts that they host often. If you do visit the Berkeley Hillside, be sure to make the acquaintance of Bella - the Boston Terrier of the club whom we adopted as our mascot. She is a real drama queen and will definitely brighten your day

This place is a gem! Great pricing when comparing to other venues and the service was more than 5 stars! Very professional. As to parking, there is nothing that can be done, when you live in cities like SF, NY you understand that there are no parking lots like in the suburbs. People know to ride-share, just like when going out in SF. There is a lot of street parking because the area is residential so I did not find that to be an issue at all. I am looking forward to becoming a member at the Hillside Club!

Cozy venue in North Berkeley near the campus, designed over one hundred years ago by famed architect Bernard Maybeck. We attended a choral concert and the acoustics were very good.Parking in this residential neighborhood is always a challenge.

This club has a worldly charm that is rare to find in an event space. I think its 100 years old. Diverse cultural gatherings and interesting locals can be found here. The club manager, Araceli is the best! Shes a natural hostess with the most adorable Boston Terrier, Bella. Definately a space worth having an event at for a unique Berkeley experience.

Amazing venue. Historic gem to attend concerts or to rent for private events!

Great venue, wonderful staff.

The most wonderful staff. Araceli and Bella are amazing. Super clean, beautiful location and venue, and did I mention?? AMAZING Staff. ️️️️️

This was my first visit to the Hillside Club. I never knew this place existed. I went with a friend to hear a clarinet ensemble play and was pleasantly surprised. Its a great room for this type of activity and the people attending were quite friendly. Apparently the space is available for rent for parties and such and I would certainly give it a consideration if you had an event to organize in North Berkeley.

Saw the opera Offenbachs Tales of Hoffmann presented by Pocket Opera of San Francisco. Have seen many operas performed here over the past three decades. Love the old Berkeley charm and intimate character of this place.

Takes a while to get there from Hayward. And when you get there, i couldnt find parking close enough. Had to park a few blocks away & walk uphill. Nice wooden dance floor but small. Dinner was good.

I enjoy the events as well as the community here

Great opera performance here!

Neighborhood social club, meeting space, wedding venue. Historic. Inviting membership. Semi public. Casually upscale.

Amazing place and a great hostess

Great venue. Everything was perfect for my daughters wedding. If your looking for a great venue to have a big party or wedding at choose the Hillside Club in Berkeley.

My nephew Anthony had his wedding there on Saturday!!! Awesome place. Was very cozy in da Berkley hills. AWESOME

Nice venue with interesting programming. Street parking usually available not too far away. Decent sight lines, but elevated stage means acoustics are only OK. Good for public meetings, less successful for music, but definitely worth going if you like the music.

Great venue tucked away in the hills. Very good acoustics.

Great space with fantastic acoustic!

Wonderful events in a local community club.

Interesting place with creative people organizing cultural events .

Lovely place but could use some parking

Im a member here. The club building is super cute, and the events are usually fun.

Summary based on several visits for events:--great, classic event venue--ok street parking

Loved seeing pocket Opera..

A neighborhood gem that support local performers.

Nice architecture, great ambiance...

I attended a funeral service here. It is private.

Woman running our memorial was very condescending.

Lovely setting for music

The best!!!
