A large part of the Muffin crowd mis-spent much of their youth in West Berkeley (Autogenic Systems, Clance and Rhiannon's, Virginia Street Gang). A favorite gathering place back in the late 70's and throughout the 80's was Brennan's, a bar and hofbrau style restaurant at the foot of University Avenue. After almost 50 years, Brennan's is being booted out to make room for condos. Brennan's will try to re-establish next door at the old and much smaller train depot (which can't be torn down due to its "historical" value!).A number of the old Sam's 58 Club crowd (another sorely missed Berkeley institution) will be meeting at the old place for a final farewell on Friday September 12th. No time specified... probably around 8PM. Hope to see you all there! More info as it becomes available.
