Berkley Coffee & Oak Park Dry

Berkley Coffee is a coffee roasting shop, Non-Alcoholic bar, and events space. It is also inherently a community center for Oak Park, Berkley, etc. Our beverage-focused menu and curious workflows are intended to challenge people to think and explore, slow down and appreciate, and bring adventure to the daily grind. Our stage offers an intimate, high quality, and accessible platform for local or traveling performers. We aim to support a broad variety of genres/mediums, skill levels, and ages. Our Non-Alcoholic bar exists to encourage consciousness, life balance, and appreciation of all those OTHER ingredients shadowed by ethanol in most “adult beverages”. For the full spectrum of strictly sober to struggling alcoholic, we exist for you to enjoy well-considered, often complex/challenging adult drinks devoid of the negative impacts of alcohol. We pair this with a social environment that is traditionally alcoholic: the bar, the music venue, the social gathering. We challenge you to appreciate the world sober, even if for 1 day per week. It is often pointed out to us that such a venue can’t survive without the draw and sales of alcohol. That is one core reason we are doing this. Society has a problem. This business will fail before it serves alcohol, and there will be no regrets for challenging the status quo. There are THOUSANDS of social spaces for alcohol. Our neighbors are traditional breweries and cocktail bars. We love and support our neighbors! Go there if you want/need alcohol. However, there are few social spaces devoid of alcohol. Appreciate that we are offering something rare and progressive to the community.
