Le Bateau Ivre

Le Bateau Ivre ("The Drunken Boat") Restaurant, named after the poem by Rimbaud, is located on Berkeley's Telegraph Avenue in a renovated French home built in 1898.  It opened as a cafe/restaurant in 1972, a year after I moved to the Elmwood neighborhood nearby.  I can't count how many cups of coffee and intimate conversations I had there before I moved away in 1980.
