Within the last year, Blue Chalk has definitely become a favorite weekend spot for the south bay. The first floor is cleared and a DJ plays music off to the side. There is a small patio/porch for smokers. There are two different full bars, one on the second floor which is adjacent to a balcony area overlooking the first floor. Second floor is also great for people watching. The females are always very cute and the bar caters to a 20 something crowd. If you get in before 10, you avoid the $5 cover charge. It is definitely worth it to make it between the 9:30-10pm time window. My only complain though a big one are the bartenders. Only two bartenders serve drinks on the second floor bar which leads to a 30 minute wait. Make sure if you order to order several rounds to last you awhile. Also the drinks are very weak. I suspect they water down some of their alcohol. In all fairness it is one of the few hot venues in the south bay.
