Blake's and Beckett's Close in the Same Week, Please Don't Let Kip's Be Next

That's right. Both Beckett's and Blake's closed this week. They likely both went out of business because Boalt students boycotted both establishments due to their bad service and poor atmosphere. That and both were way too big to barely sell any food and be half full on the weekends.

So, what now? Well, it's clear that we really only have one choice: Every Bar Review from here on out is at Kip's. We cannot let the best-carpeted karaoke dance floor in the Western Hemisphere close and I think it's the responsibility of everyone to support a bar where the seating consists of picnic tables from my middle school.

Also, it's a great alternative to the Down Low. Just sayin'.

Love,
James

Who took over labeling?

Everyone needs to stop being fucking lazy and spend the 10-15 extra dollars to go to SF. The extra money is well worth the better environment, better looking people, and generally better environment.

The labeling is 100% appropriate.

Also, for someone who tends to get angry about shitty bars, I am surprised at the levelof animosity you got going on there, 3:59.

Interesting. I never had a complaint about service at Beckett's, but I guess I was comparing it to service at Jupiter's which is notoriously awful.

I doubt Blake's went out of business. They were rolling in underage dollars. They probably went over their yearly stabbing quota.

Here's an idea:

Don't waste your time looking up the criminal records of the landlords of various berkeley bars, take a lil bit o that money we all paid that gets contributed to random student groups we never join (I'm looking at you, Berkeley Half-Persian Half-Latino Green Party Vegetarian Law Society) and throw a couple kegs of quality beer in the courtyard at 6 pm on Thursdays, then let people float to where they want. Is it that tough?

Apologies to BHPHLGPVLS for targetting them in this post. They are good people.

I once saw a guy in Kips take a crap in the men's room sink for $20. Then he took his money, pulled up his pants, and walked out.

Kip's is not reliant on the Boalt dollar; they are too fratty to fail.

Kip's is like a pile of shit sinking into a noxious swamp of misery and jailbait. Literally. I'm referring to what's steeping in that goddamn carpet.

I didn't even know people went to bars in Berkeley.

the best berkeley bars are just too far from campus to work for bar review.

Why not go down to oakland to Radio or the Ruby Room? Berkeley bars are pathetic.

I ASKED the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell
me what is happiness.

And I went to famous executives who boss the work of
thousands of men.

They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though
I was trying to fool with them

And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along
the Desplaines river

And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with
their women and children
and a keg of beer and an
accordion.
