Berkeley Lands 2 Spots On Best Sports Bars List

BERKELEY, CA — The Raiders, A's and Warriors have all moved away from Oakland, leaving East Bay fans to cheer virtually.

Eater SF pulled together an updated list of the best sports bars, a place to "pull up a stool at the bar, grab a table with friends, and go for cold drinks, good food, and a great time with your crew while watching a game."

Included on the list are two bars in Berkeley.

Cali's Sports Bar has been open for less than a year, but "has quickly established itself as a diversely minded space to watch UFC and all major sports," Eater SF writes. "Among a wide-ranging menu, they offer NY-, Detroit-, and Sicilian-style pizzas and have two big projection screens and a dozen other TVs."

Cali's has two full bars, and transforms into a hip-hop venue in the evening, complete with VIP bottle service.

Cali's is at 2367 Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley.

The other Berkeley option is Yeti Sports Bar.

"We can safely say that Yeti is the only spot in the East Bay that offers a classic sports bar vibe with top-notch Himalayan food," writes Eater SF. "That means chicken momo dumplings or Nepalese pineapple fried rice to go along with drinks in a room wrapped in TVs."

If you turned up your nose when you read Himalayan food, bar standards also also served, including burgers, butterfly shrimp, wings, and garlic fries.

Yeti's is at 3290 Adeline Street in Berkeley.
