About Vice Ultra Lounge

Welcome to the comprehensive venue page for the property at 1251 Arroyo Way in Walnut Creek, CA. This site has a layered history: originally Vice Ultra Lounge, then Blu 42 Sports Lounge, and today operating as Chicken Pie Shop Walnut Creek, a full-service restaurant with a bar. Whether you’re planning a night out, a casual dinner, or coordinating private events, we’ve got you covered with practical details, parking and transit options, and nearby lodging and dining suggestions to help you plan with ease.

Venue history note: Vice Ultra Lounge was a downtown Walnut Creek nightlife spot that closed in January 2013. It re-emerged as Blu 42 on March 1, 2013 at the same address, later transitioning to Chicken Pie Shop Walnut Creek in 2017. While the current operation is a restaurant, the site remains a focal point in Walnut Creek’s dining and social scene. The venue is located in the N Main Street/Arroyo Way corridor, within walking distance of Walnut Creek BART, making it accessible for both locals and visitors.

Parking at the Chicken Pie Shop Walnut Creek site is listed as free on site, helping visitors plan ahead. For those using public transit, the Walnut Creek BART station (200 Ygnacio Valley Rd) is a short walk away, providing convenient access from the broader Bay Area. Nearby lodging options include Marriott Walnut Creek, Embassy Suites by Hilton Walnut Creek, Renaissance Walnut Creek Hotel, and Hilton Garden Inn Walnut Creek, among others. When dining or visiting for events, consider local affiliates for recommended accommodations and dining experiences to maximize value and convenience.

Note on capacity and seating: publicly published seating charts or venue capacity data are not available for the current restaurant operation. If you’re visiting for a meal or a private event, the staff can guide you to suitable seating options and reservations. For historical context, Vice Ultra Lounge was known in its time for nightlife events and related permit discussions, but today the site focuses on a family-friendly dining experience with a bar atmosphere.
