Drinks & Nightlife
Ben 'N Nick's Bar & Grill
5612 College AveCasual bar vibes. Great pregame location.
Everything Else
One of the best venues in the Bay because it is so intimate! Tiered floor makes general admission/standing worthwhile because shorties (like me) can catch a decent view. There are also vents on the floor to cool you down when you're in a tight crowd.
