About Blakes On Telegraph

Blakes On Telegraph sits at 2367 Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, a historic space that dates back to 1940 as Larry Blake's and later became Blakes on Telegraph. After a period of closure, the venue reopened in 2024 as Cali's Sports Bar & Kitchen/Club Cali, a two‑floor venue with a basement club that continues to host live entertainment. The site preserves a storied musical lineage—renowned acts from Cake and Etta James to Third Eye Blind and Train have performed nearby, while today guests enjoy a modern lounge atmosphere, reliable service, and easy access in the heart of Downtown Berkeley.

Whether you're planning a night of live music or a casual evening out, we've got you covered with practical details: ample nearby parking at Telegraph-Channing Garage, straightforward transit options via AC Transit routes on Telegraph Ave (such as Route 51B), and convenient access to Downtown Berkeley BART.
