One of a kind divey music venue

by mkathrynp

Went last night (Wednesday) for Open Mic night. Didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! Lots of good local talent there. Good variety of seating. Outdoor patio. All in all a friendly place, though a bit of a dive and prepare to come home smelling like an ash tray--had to wash my pillow case this morning!!!

• Pros: No cover, good live music, diverse crowd
• Cons: Smoky, $3 PBR's?

I'll definitely go back to the Berkeley Cafe Again

Had a great time at the Fred Eaglesmith show on 5/31/08. I didn't think it was a dive at all. The music area is small, and for act that requires one to listen closely (rather than dance), it would be good if there were a few more chairs.

They serve a variety of "fun food" items in the evening and they looked really good. If you want a table, it is a good idea to be there when the doors open.

The place was clean, the mens room was clean.

I'm looking forward to returning when they book another act of the caliber of Fred Eaglesmith.

TRASH

by dusty62

I have traveled the US extensively and visited clubs all over. There are landfills that dont have as much trash as this place. The entertainment sucked, and it a dive in the true sense of the word. Any one who likes this place carries all their taste in the mouth and it is bad.

• Pros: good drinks
• Cons: everything
