where was the rockety horror picture show in the 1980s in berkeley ca

The Rocky Horror Picture Show in Berkeley was at the UC Theatre, on University Avenue in Berkeley, and it ran there for 22 years as one of the first 30 U.S. theaters to show it as a weekend midnight movie. The specific address listed is 2036 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA.

What that means

In the 1980s, the Berkeley midnight screenings were tied to the UC Theatre rather than a rotating set of places. That lines up with the note that Berkeley’s UC Theatre “ran there for 22 years,” which would have covered much of the 1980s.

Extra context

A later Berkeley event page also places Rocky Horror at the UC Theatre at 2036 University Ave, showing the location remained strongly associated with the film in Berkeley.
