Ambiance & Details From a Historic Berkeley Building...

• Dancing and good fun await in the Kaleva Hall's Main Auditorium. Entrance doors (up ten steps) open into a foyer with a small ticket and coat room. Wide double doors lead into the auditorium, with ambple, warm light from large windows bequeathed across the length of the room, with high-arched ceiling and beautiful oak floor A stage makes the room appropriate for plays, concerts, political events and memorials as well. Tables and chairs are available.
• The upstairs Meeting Room has its own entrance door from the street. A flight of stairs takes you to a vaulted ceileinged and hardwood floored room. A raised platform at the far end of the room provides a perfect Speaker's Corner. An adjacent storage room holds 45 chairs.
• A separated door from the back of the parking lot leads up to the same room the Kaleva Ski Club has held its meetings since the 1930s. The Ski Club Room is perfect for evening meetings or slide shows, where bright light is not needed. A small window and celining lights give this room atmosphere. Bathrooms are located in a hallway right outside the room. This room is on the same floor as the Kitchen and Café, and many tables and chairs, which can also be rented.
• The Café's entrance is right off the parking lot, or it can be entered via a starcase leading from the auditorium upstairs. Clean and attractive, the Café and Kitchen have gray-blue floors and sparkling white walls. Long tables and folding chairs can also be included in the rental.
• The Kitchen sports a vintage Wolf Range with six burners, an oven and large grill. Two sinks and plenty of counter space make for a no-hassle food event! A dishwasher and commercial size refrigerator are also available. The Café can be rented with or without the Kitchen.
