Justin Latin me please, Nov 28, 2005
Reviewer: J. Maximilian from Berkeley, ca USA

While the the Bench and Bar is open everyone & does not bill itself as Latin bar one look at it's roster leaves no doubt that this is where Latinos live!

Friday's and Saturday's boast a great crowd and some very good music. If you are a bit of a gringo like me you may feel a bit lost since the music and MC's often only speak Spanish, that being said it's a great chance to jump into whats movin and shakin the LGBT Latin community.

Some would say this is the best weekly event in the Central Bay Area to check out the Latin scene. Thus far I see no reason to dispute this claim!
