Berkeley Supper Club began in August 2023 as a series of intimate private dinners centered on thoughtful, ingredient-driven food. In 2025, we formally organized as a 501(c)7 social club to support the growing community around the table.
To join us, follow our Substack and RSVP on Luma. Spots are limited—it’s a club, after all.

Pricing Transparency
Berkeley Supper Club is a community project, not a business. We do not profit from these dinners. Your ticket primarily supports:
Ingredients and beverages
Prep kitchen and event space rental
Event insurance
Reimbursement for volunteer contributors
As our costs fluctuate, we adjust suggested donations to ensure we can continue offering exceptional food. However, we are committed to keeping dinners accessible. We’re using a sliding scale model to help keep this project sustainable and inclusive:
$60 – Community: A subsidized rate to help make supper club accessible.
$90 – Standard: Covers the full cost of ingredients, drinks, and prep time.
$120+ – Supporter: Helps fund future meals and make space for others to attend at the community rate.
The current minimum suggested ticket price is $60. This was initially made possible through support from Mem Global’s MHWOW program (formerly Moishe House), which provided a per-guest stipend. We’ve since grown to a point where we can maintain this pricing independently.
Trades, Bitcoin, or two sheep for one wood? Feel free to reach out about unconventional payment methods — we’re open.
We will be thoughtful and transparent with any pricing changes and remain committed to offering incredible value.
Thank you for supporting this small, community-driven project.
