Description
I am sick and tired of the rowdy loud mouthed patrons of Eggbert's Bar. Not a day goes by that you cant find someone sleeping outside on the bench in front. You can smell the bar from a block away. all the plants near the bar excluding the ones put there by the bar, are dying from people @#$% on them. the planters out front are maintained to the best of the person responsible ability. considering the circumstances they do an excellent job. People smoke a ton of cigarettes right next to a children's daycare, I thought there was a law about that? Every Friday and Saturday night there is a squabble between two patrons of this bar on my block. sometimes it ends well, sometimes it escalates into a horrible fight or domestic dispute. Recently someone was shot on my block after leaving the bar to their car. this is because the patrons use my block as their personal parking lot...yay!...
The patrons of this bar have no respect for the residents of this neighborhood, they destroy private property burglarize vehicles and defecate everywhere. please Oakland recognize a SH** hole when you see one and revoke Eggbert's liquor license.
Another "clientele" that patron this bar have extremely loud motorcycles with loud stereo systems, they make it a point to make as much noise as possible while coming to and from this bar. They set every car alarm on the block off in the process, so obnoxious.
This bar is a blight on this neighborhood, please SHUT IT DOWN!

I wrote some council members and here is the response that I got from CM Schaff who was kind enough to write back:
This is in CM Kalb's district. I encourage you to work with your neighborhood services coordinator for this area (Jacquie who is copied can connect you with that person) and work to build a case that could either rise to public nuisance and/or revocation of their deemed approved liquor status. Arturo Sanchez (also copied) runs that process. Good luck!
Best,

This lady has helped to start the process in shutting down another problem bar. She was quite receptive and sounds like someone who could give some wings to our problem:

Stop being such nanny wusses, you should feel PRIVILEGED to have an authentic dive bar in your neighborhood. That bar is an institution!
God the privileged upper class snobs of the Piedmont neighborhood, they've got no class nor taste.

Are you seriously comparing a rowdy neighborhood bar to stealing people from Africa, splitting their families up on the auction block, working them in the fields, hunting them down with dogs, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera?
Check your privilege, ye denizen of the cloistered Cheneyville of Piedmont.
Let's put this in perspective. Shutting down this bar is not going to alleviate the longstanding class-based social inequalities that cause these kinds of behavioral distortions. You dig me? You want the neighborhood to improve, then you improve conditions for your neighbors.
Quit yer bellyachin' and grab a shovel.

Bedlam is a good comparison.
OAKLAND -- For the second Saturday in a row, a man was shot near a popular Piedmont Avenue bar, police said.
The victim, a 31-year-old Oakland man, was in critical but stable condition at a hospital. His name was not released.
Police said the man was involved in a shoving match that started just after midnight Friday inside Egbert Souse's, 3758 Piedmont Ave.
Police said the confrontation spilled outside and turned into a fight involving multiple people.
A gunman chased the victim across the street outside a Kaiser hospital building, where he was shot. The gunman fled before police arrived.
