Hotsy Totsy Club

I love their specialty drinks. The vibe is really great there on Friday and Saturday nights. They play an wide array of music, they usually have some great B Movie or Cult Movie playing on the TV and there is always a wide variety of people hanging out at the bar. Also, don't forget to check out the taco truck in front!

Beautiful little vintage bar.

Pro: This bar stands out in its gin selection. And they know how to make martinis. They don't skip on the vermouth but only use the right amount. They also have st. Germains elderflower liquor, great substitute for vermouth.

There is a fantastic Mexican roach coach outside where they let you bring the food into the bar.

Cons: like most bars in Berkeley they can't accept that they are not a club, and keep the music at levels that are not conducive to conversation.

TLDR: great for gin drinkers, great food available outside to bring, a little loud.
