Cornerstone Craft Beer & Live Music

Excellent act musically but the sound mixing at the venue had some issues. At times vocals were incredibly hard to hear while guitars were so loud they overpowered everything else. Still, had a great time watching Castle Rat perform, it was like a D&D session turned into a metal show. All hail the Rat Queen!

Theya opened for them, they were fine. Early Moods was the second act and they were a lot of fun, loved their energy! The big event though was incredible. I knew there was going to be a show but I was still blown away. Now is forever! In this realm!

I always love the venue. It’s always so intimate. The only reason why KCamp isn’t receiving five stars is because he didn’t have any merch but it’s openers as did. I hate having to buy merch for a concert online when I could’ve just bought it in person. Especially when I like to make a whole reel for all of my concerts I attend.

Jerry’s Middle Finger is such an amazing band and even more amazing people, I just absolutely love this band and with pride can call them my favorite band. I always enjoyed going to Jerry Garcia Band shows and they both bring back that feeling I had as a teenager and young adult and take it to the next level for a middle aged man.

I love this band and have been to prior concerts. But the sound system was terrible here… The bass and guitar completely overpowered everything else. And I’ve got to say that the shift of the band to do more standard rock rather than the modern Cumbia that made them famous was disappointing.

I had an awesome time at Jason Joshua’s event in Berkeley. The venue was really nice, and the show was super entertaining. People were definitely grooving to the music, and the whole vibe was full of good energy. It was also really nice that we got to meet Jason Joshua afterward and get an autograph and a picture with him. Overall, a great experience.

The only time I’ll ever post a show review but the band was amazing, sounded so good. Second time I’ve seen them play at cornerstone and been incredibly disappointed because the crowd at cornerstone always sucks. Some cool people with good energy but too many people having zero participation or interest, pit being way too open, one guy that always thinks it’s a hardcore show and kills the vibe, and a weirdo running around with his gf dirty talking hella loud and fondling each other in the middle of the crowd. Please play in sf instead next time, I’ve had too many let downs at cornerstone and not just for this band.

OMG IT WAS SO AWESOME!!! I went to Noah's concert when he came 2 Berkeley 4 the Growing Up On The Internet US Tour earlier this year and it was my first time going 2 one of his concerts and it was the best night of my life so far! The only reason I rate it 4 stars and not 5 is because I wish he would talk to fans after his shows without needing to buy the VIP ticket. Noah's my idol and role model and his YouTube videos helped me a lot. He's really sweet and funny and I hope he plays in Berkeley again since that's a lot closer 2 me than LA and Sacramento.

IT WAS RLY COOL/FUN!!! So I had gone to the concert for the headliner; NOAHFINNCE -HE'S AMAZING AND AWESOME AND MY IDOL & ROLE MODEL- and anyway, TX2 was one of the openers for the concert and prior to that night, I had never heard of TX2, but during the concert I really liked their music. After the concert I started listening to TX2's music a lot and now I'm a pretty big fan! I really hope they come to Berkeley in 2025 since it's a closer driving distance than LA or Sacramento.

It was such a fun night to remember! Great music, great venue, and the band was so much fun! Even got to be right in front of Sam Cieri (with my girl) when he ran out in the middle of the crowd to sing Cher’s “Believe”! I would definitely go see them again! Play in Sacramento next time!!

First time at this venue. Note: Arrive early they have places to sit and lots of things to eat and drink prior to your favorite artist taking the stage.. Smaller venue above. Everyone seemed in control and relatively safe when compared to other places. Although a brewery by trade there was no over consumption that I could see. Neighborhood is sketch by reputation however I arrived and left without the crowd and had zero interactions with the residents. This is the place.

Fantastic show. Trophy Eyes is so tight and the singer had a wonderful stage presence even though he was dealing with a bad cold and also the horrible stage diving incident that recently happened to a fan. Big props to the band for playing like they were playing for a huge crowd. They rip!! Also the openers "House and Home" and "Rarity" were very good and also interesting. Solid as hell show for a half filled place. Hope Trophy eyescomes back soon.

It was a great show! I have my new favorite facility for the next concerts. But I'd say there were a couple moments which didn't make it right - Monday and 4 bands! 3 first bads were also awesome and they really warmed the guys up. But as they warmed everyone most were tired by the time Tyr appeared... Guys, Tyr, you have an awesome new album, you have some of my favorite songs. You can do better!

Oh WOW! I k ew Greg Koch was good but…. That was over the top. I left the Cornerstone in Berkeley CA floating on cloud 9. What an amazing performance. This is a once in a lifetime must see show. If you are a music enthusiast. You gotta see the Koch-Marshall Trio. I can’t say much more. They have my highest respect. Daym. I’m still amazed.

The band was tight, the groove was funky at times and slower stand outs were Everybody’s Talking at Me and Blue Skies. I wish I had time to follow them down to SoCal. Daniel Donato is obviously a sublimely creative and nimble guitarist/soloist but the entire band are supremely talented. Bought merch to keep the machine rolling, do the same and pass it on! The Cornerstone was a nice venue and I recommend any shoe there as well.

So far one of the best shows I’ve been to this year. Cornerstone had that sound so dialed in it was madness. Crowd was insane from start to finish. Honestly gotta be a world record show for the number of stage dives in one night. Very refreshing to see bands I havnt discovered yet. Shout out to Gates to Hell, and Vomit Fourth. They killed it. First time seeing Kruelty as well. Also better than the albums sound. Second time seeing Bogg and my god did they put in work. Sound guy nailed the tuning and they sounded heavier then the last time. Played until the place kicked em off stage. Couldn’t have asked for more. Worth every penny and more on this one!!

Really high energy show, they did a cover from Freaky Friday which was really cool. They asked that only ladies and "they-d-ies" (for the non binary peeps) be in the pit. It was a great crowd, it felt really safe. There was a good amount of talking between songs, I love it when artists talk to the audience, I feel like I get to know them better. Venue - Cornerstone Berkeley is a great small venue, if you get there early you can snag a seat at the top. Staff were very nice and they had a coat rack but there was no one monitoring it so hang your coat at your own risk. *There were no gender neutral bathrooms

Solid show by With Confidence as always, super bummed this is their last one, but I’m so glad they chose to come back to Cornerstone. Saw them here for the first time with Broadside in 2018 and ate at the restaurant beforehand. Food was good and the restaurant itself is really cute and casual. The venue side is intimate and the sound system is great, the second floor is spacious and a great view if you don’t mind sharing bar style seating with strangers or if you’re tall enough to stand and see over people that are sitting. Employees at the door of both sides of the entrances are really pleasant and getting in was really easy. Overall, awesome show and vibes!

Wish all of them where there and they performed more. The DJ played for almost 2hrs and then their DJ came on after for nearly half an hour then some other folks and then finally the main folks. Great to see them though having grown up listening to them. Wish they regulated smoking inside the venue too, not everyone smokes or finds it enjoyable to have it blown in their face or the smell around when you're trying to enjoy a performance. Great bartenders. Great signing along with them and the energy was cool. Layzie and Flesh were there for the fans hi fiving and interacting with the crowd, Krayzie had good energy and Wish was the only one I was like damn, it felt like he was just there and just promoting big time. Krayzie and Wish really didn't interact with the crowd like Layzie and Flesh. Once again, good to see them though. Looking forward to hearing that everyone will be together and performing and hopefully and hopefully they'll perform more and it's just them, not a lot fill.

if you are 100 miles close to a Juliette Lewis show, you are not too smart, if you don't make the drive. I have driven 800 for Pj, I'd do the same for Ms. Lewis. Not only does she bring her whole being during the show, she is 100%present when meeting her fans. She is by far the best rock show out there these days.
