Editorial Review for Blakes on Telegraph – by Erika Stalder
In Short
At street level, the high-ceilinged main room hosts an open kitchen at one end, a main bar and drinking space at the other. Brick walls and a massive painting of a thirsty bear make Cal students feel at home. A dungeon-like downstairs exudes a garage-rock feel with exposed pipes, low ceilings, ultra-black walls and vintage video games. Couches and soft lighting help the shabby-chic loft feel perfectly boho and coffeehouse cool.

Overall everytime i go to Blakes it is an Expirence, really i have seen some huge Acts come though this venue, has a mellow upstairs, and the down stairs holds the main stage! Goodtimes if you like live music and plenty of beer!
Pros: cheep beer, live music, singles
Cons: door charge

Thought that people should know that there is a decent nightclub on this side of the bay. Went out on a Thursday night with three friends, had some drinks (the bartender was excellent!!) then went downstairs to the club. Really good DJ and a diverse crowd. We danced till it hurt, mostly Hip Hop and Pop music...really high energy...it was a really fun night!
Pros: music, drinks, people
Cons: , a few strange people
