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 become a member and RSVP on Luma.  Spots are limited—it’s a club, after all. (view our bylaws) 

Note: This list reflects some of the volunteers and partners who have made Berkeley Supper Club possible. Many more people have contributed over the years, and we’re thankful to everyone who has helped bring an event to life.

Berkeley Supper Club plans each dinner around confirmed guests. Every seat represents purchased ingredients, reserved space, and volunteer time. Membership is tracked through Substack, with a planned migration to Ghost in June 2026. We use Luma for event registration: https://luma.com/berkeleysupperclub 

Registration typically closes the Wednesday before each event so we can finalize our guest count and prepare accordingly (assuming the dinner is not sold out earlier).

Pricing Transparency

Berkeley Supper Club is a community project, not a business, and we do not profit from these dinners. Your ticket helps cover:

• Ingredients and beverages

• Prep kitchen and event space rental

• Event insurance

• Reimbursement for volunteer contributors

We use a sliding-scale model to keep the dinners both sustainable and accessible:

• $60 — Community: A subsidized rate to help keep the table open to all.

• $90 — Standard: Covers the full cost of the event.

• $120+ — Supporter: Helps fund future meals and make space for community-rate tickets.

The current minimum suggested ticket price is $60. This was originally supported by Mem Global’s MHWOW program (formerly Moishe House), and we’ve now grown to the 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.

Thank you for supporting this small, community-driven table.
