UYE: Porsche C’ birthday Happy Hour @ Chaplin’s Sports Bar

What a wonderful way to celebrate Miss Porsche C.‘s birthday. With good friends, good food, good booze at a great place. It was simply the perfect way to celebrate a brisk fall evening in the East Bay. Are some of you kicking yourselves over being able to make the party? Yeah, I knew you would be! But for those would did show up had a great time at Chaplin’s Sports Bar, which if you didn’t know Chaplin’s Sports Bar is actually in a Business Park on the outskirts of Union City. It just opened a couple of years ago and still feels fresh and new, and they have a killer Happy Hour that’s seven days a week with 5 – 7 dollar drinks and appetizers. You can’t beat that!
When I arrived at Chaplin’s, I was impressed how clean and modern it was with a wood paneled central bar and a ton of TV’s showing a wide variety of sports. This place had everything that a sports lover could ever need. From there I noticed a side room where our Miss Porsche was sitting with Tony, another elite Unilocaler. Porsche was so sweet to make sure that there was plenty of Unilocal swag for the attendees to enjoy from Unilocal neckerchiefs, lip balm and something new: Unilocal Playing Cards! I had to add that to my collection! Porsche also made sure every table had a desserts from Tickled Pink Cake Pops (from Oakland) and Macaroons by Natalie (also from Oakland). It’s that wonderful personal touch by Porsche that made the event so special and unique. She cares about her guests and therefor we should care about her event!
The group was eventually joined by fellow Unilocalers Sharee, Wanugee, Eugene, Stephanie and a newcomer to Unilocal by the name Archie, who was introduced to all of the fun and festivities. From there we ate and ate and ate, our server Leah made sure we never were without with drinks aflowing and food always on the table. From chicken wings to onion rings to to fried pickles to quesadillas everything was delicious and thanks to Happy Hour being extended to weekends at Chaplin’s, very affordable. My favorite drink was the Summer Sangria with White Wine, rum and fresh fruit served in a half carafe. It was the perfect drink for the perfect night. I really have never tasted a cocktail so wonderful. Who knew? And at 5 dollars a pop, so perfect!
But what was so special about the night is that we all got to celebrate Porsche and enjoy one another’s company. We all loved the food and libations from Chaplin’s and Porsche made sure everyone went home with plenty of swag. It’s these kind of evenings that make me thankful that I became an elite Unilocaler this year where people with similar interests who genuinely like one another can get together and catch up for a spell, with not a care in the world. Can’t wait for the next UYE in the East Bay!

I may have gotten there late, but the birthday girl was so kind to give me a tour of Chaplin’s — thanks Porsche ;) !!
The venue was that of a sports bar, but a bit more light than the typical bar. I thought it was great how they had a separate seating area for semi-​private parties, in case you don’t want to be part of the main bar scene! They do serve food here, and they even have discounts on select food and drinks during happy hour.
This place was located in a commercial-​type area, and looking at the outside of the building, you wouldn’t be able to tell how pleasant it looks inside! Definitely a spot to have a beer and watch a football game, while enjoying an appetizer or two =D.
Porsche, nice planning! Glad I was able to continue your day of birth celebration later that evening! Haha! See you in a few days for more great foodie (not to mention, drinks) times! ;)
