Cloyne Court Hotel

The Cloyne Court Hotel, often referred to simply as Cloyne, is a student housing cooperative located at on the north side of the north side of the University of California, Berkeley campus at 2600 Ridge Road. It is part of the Berkeley Student Cooperative (BSC) system. Residents of the house are known as "Clones".

The BSC is now the largest housing co-op organization in North America. Cloyne is the largest house in the BSC, housing 140 students. Despite its size the house was entirely student-run for nearly sixty years. This changed in July 2005, when the co-op was forced to hire a live-in manager in order to renew the property lease with the University.

Cloyne Court has played a notable role in the Bay Area music scene. The bands No Doubt, Operation Ivy, The Offspring, Rancid, Green Day, Primus, Elliott Smith, 24-7 Spyz, Save Ferris, Skankin' Pickle, The Mr. T Experience, Two Gallants, Blüchunks and Rilo Kiley played at Cloyne before becoming well known. The house has also been host to several lesser-known bands during its many events. Cloyne has hosted as many as a dozen bands in a single evening, commonly using 2 separate stages, though sometimes as many as 4 - the dining room, the lib-ed room, the basement ("dungeon"), and the courtyard.
