The Keystone, also known as Keystone Berkeley, was a small music club at 2119 University Avenue[1] in Berkeley, California, which operated in the 1970s and 1980s. Numerous nationally known groups performed there, and the club was a regular venue for the Jerry Garcia Band. Keystone Berkeley, run by Freddy Herrera and Bobby Corona, was linked to the The Stone and Keystone Palo Alto. [1][2][3]
