About Eli's:

Eli's Mile High Club is one of Oakland's most legendary hubs of nightlife. It first opened as a well-known blues club in 1974 and since then has become a fabled punk bar.

Eli's is ADA accessible, including the bathroom. If it gets too crowded for comfort inside, the patio is spacious with plenty of space to hang out and chat. Street Spirit will provide masks at the door if you would like to wear one. (We will not require masks during the event.)

Street parking around Eli's can be tough — arrive with plenty of time to find a spot in the surrounding neighborhood.

About Street Spirit

Street Spirit is an independent, monthly newspaper that has been dedicated to covering poverty and homelessness since 1995. We are also a vital source of income for the homeless people who sell our paper on the streets of Berkeley, Oakland, and beyond. More than just a newspaper, Street Spirit provides a platform for art making in historically marginalized communities, and breaks down harmful stigmas that make it impossible to build effective solutions to homelessness.
