Resident Bear
For those of you new to visiting our fine campus (as I mentioned on the furd *ss whooping thread) and to those who PM'd me recently...
Tickets and Seating:
You bitches sit in Sections 1, 28 and 27 for scalper related questions.
Food:
Top Dog on Durant is the place to eat before the game. Service is crappy and the place is filthy. It makes the hot dogs better. Top Dog is a Cal must IMO. Short of that, Fat Slice and Blondies for Pizza on Telegraph or Steve's Korean BBQ and La Burrita are places you can hit up on Durant Ave. Bongo Burger is a trippy call too-it's across from People's Park off Telegraph if you want to go near there after dark. All of this assumes you Mountain hippies can handle City hippie food. You'll be 1-3 blocks north of Haas Pavillion either way.
Booze:
Right off your BART exit from the City is Jupiters on Shattuck. Big place and lots of booze (Beer and Wine only as I recall). Enjoy! It's about 2-3 blocks south of Haas Pavillion. My guess is that most of you will hit this from the BART exit. Nice outdoor patio and plenty of space inside for a big crew.
Several of our best common University bars have burned down and with Berkeley ordinances as they are, we'll get them back and running in time for the 2024/2025 meeting with you guys. On Telegraph Avenue there is only Pappys (next to Fat slice) which is pretty legit and very clean from what I have heard. It used to be Larry Blakes (for Liver, Daah and other older Buffs). Less than a block South of Telegraph and Durant Ave. is Kips where you can simultaneously vomit and hook up with questionable chicks visiting from nearby schools. Not a bad place to pound cheap beer pitchers before the game and meet girls from Mills College, DVC and assorted Bay Area high schools. Think Darth and Rugged territory. It's one block from Haas Pavillion.
If you want a top notch bar, hit up Henry's on Durant (a little further up from top dog) and right below the Hotel Durant. Both are only a few blocks from Haas Pavillion.
The Bear's Lair (directly on campus) is under renovations right now and unavailable. Sorry, I know you guys liked the bartenders there. If getting liquored up before the game proves difficult, the faculty glade on campus might also be available. Everyone is pretty cool to fans of schools not named Stanford, UCLA or USC. I'm not sure it will be open though.
For those of you staying at the Claremont Resort and Spa nestled in the beautiful Berkeley Hills...do nothing except eat and drink there and then simply take a shuttle to the game. I recommend about 9 or 10 whiskeys. They have a great selection. You may also choose to watch the game in the bar. Eff it, you paid for it-do what you want. If you motivate to go to the game, make sure you get a cabby's phone number to take you back. Walking back to there sucks. Trust me on that one.
Campus Environs:
Our campus is pretty cool. Walk everywhere. One of your boys described it as Boulder on steroids (Dallas?). There are some cool coffee houses on the North Side and random places to eat if you get stuck over there. Check out the new stadium if you get a chance. It's at the top of our hill (Bancroft or Durant) and I think it's open for public visits.
Should be a good B-Ball game. I believe BART stops at 12:45 or so so get back to the City before then and enjoy another trip altogether. I suggest hitting up all of Union Street and waking up to a bed and breakfast in Cow Hollow with a hot girl you just met the night before.
Nobody will f*ck with you in CU gear regardless and best of luck Saturday. Welcome to the PAC again. If anyone else needs suggestions on stuff let me know.
GO BEARS!
