The Barn, a historic venue on the University of California, Riverside campus, was originally built in 1917 as a working barn and horse stable. It was transformed into a dining and music performance space in 1955, recently undergoing a $30 million renovation to enhance seating, dining options, and outdoor entertainment facilities.

This revitalized space now features an indoor bar and an outdoor entertainment stage, accommodating up to 1,000 spectators, along with a dining experience that offers grill, salad, and hot table options. The Barn also includes The Barn Stable, an exclusive full-service concept designed for faculty and staff and invites guests to enjoy live performances and events.
