Venue for 60th Birthday Party?

I'm plannning a party for myself for my 60th this fall (party planned for early December).  I've been joking that it's like planning a small wedding for myself - I want to have catered food, a bar, and DJ dancing. It won't be huge - I'm guessing around 40 to 50 guests total. Looking for recommendations for a comfortable, beautiful, and not super expensive venue for this?

Personally, I have been dying to have a party at Hammerline Wines in Berkeley. You can rent their space and bring in catering, food trucks, vendors....etc. And I adore the owner and the people who work there. I just don't have any reason to other than a kid's birthday party which... seems inappropriate. Ha! Happy birthday! https://www.hammerlingwines.co/

The Phoenix in Alameda hosts great events (I've both planned and been an attendee at this location). Other options are renting through Oakland parks and rec department. They have many facilities throughout the area.
