Three-tiered bar gracefully hosts Cal coeds, live music and burger lovers.. 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.

Great place to see good music and college kids!. 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!

You should know. 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!

Thursday Night. My friends and I went last Thursday night, we had no idea Blake's also had a dance club downstairs. The drinks were definitely on the strong side, the people were cool and the music was good. Better than any Hip Hop night I've been to in the city.

alright place, but 12:30 closing???. it was alright in there but closing the bar down at 12:30 was LAME. Maybe its not like that every night but that rubbed me the wrong way and probally wont be back.

A nice change on Telegraph. A place that you can sit down and enjoy a relaxed meal on Telegraph. the food is solid and the drinks are good. Yeah, it's a little more expensive than the takeout spots nearby, but this is a real meal and a real restaurant/bar.
