Great place for summer concert--fine to sit on the grass with a little something--you can still see and hear fine tho also nice to sit up closer in the stands. Bring a cushion and sun protection if in daytime. More

We visited it but didn't attend any event on it. We understand that there are many events held there. It looks like a great outdoor place for entertaining events. More

Venue for numerous concerts each year, as well as the graduating classes of some of the UC colleges. Also hosts noted speakers (e.g., Dalai Lama), operas (e.g., "Aida"), etc., although the acoustics are better suited for rock concerts. Healthy walk to the Berkeley BART station. More

The Greek Theater is a decent place to see a concert, but there are a few things you need to know. First is that parking is not easy. I have the best luck finding parking north of the venue but you still need to allow at least 40 minutes to find parking and walk to the venue. Second, if you... More

The place itself is cool, but the big problem is everyone decided to stand up. My wife and I came here to see Portishead which is chill triphop music. Not sure why everyone felt the need to stand for it. If everyone was sitting it would have been great!! Even though I don't think highly of New Yorker's, they apparently... More

Bring a stadium seat. The concrete benches can get a little hard. Also bring a jacket, but not too much stuff cause they squeeze you in there. More

It doesn't matter what kind of performing arts you like - the Greek Theater at UC Berkeley is a uniquely attractive venue, a place where you can listen to music while watching the sun set behind Richardson Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. On a recent excursion to hear one of my teenager's favorite bands, the Greek was just as... More
