The Back Room

Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley

"Listen up and get down" (East Bay Express)
"my favorite seated intimate concert space"

Bring your own wine and settle into a couch just feet from the stage at this 100-seat hideaway built for serious listening, not loud crowds. Acoustic jazz, folk, and blues fill the room while owner Sam Rudin curates a vibe that treats performers and audiences with equal respect.
