The Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse is an all-ages performance venue located in Berkeley, California. Coffee, teas, sodas, desserts, and light snacks are available at the Freight food counter. We’ve recently made beer and wine available for sale in our lobby. Youth 21 years of age and under are admitted at half-price. Senior discount is $1.00.
The Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse (Berkeley Society for the Preservation of Traditional Music) is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to promoting the understanding and appreciation of traditional and roots music. We are supported by your attendance, grants from the Alameda County ARTSFUND, Berkeley Civic Arts Program, The William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Edmund and Jeannik Littlefield Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Bernard Osher Foundation, San Francisco Foundation, the Drs. Ben and A. Jess Shenson Foundation at the San Francisco Foundation, Wells Fargo Foundation, musicians benefit performances, volunteer efforts, and your generous annual donations.
The Freight’s superb sound system is composed of speakers and amplifiers exclusively designed and installed by Meyer Sound Labs of Berkeley. We offer our sincere thanks to the folks at Meyer Sound for the generous support and assistance they have provided year after year. Their contribution has been indispensable in establishing the Freight is a premier listening room.
