The Advocate Berkeley

One more Saturday night. Please come visit us, we are open until 10.

Fantastic night at The Advocate.

Come get warm and toasty with us tonight.

We have made the difficult decision to permanently close The Advocate as of Thursday, October 27th. We are grateful to all of you from the Elmwood and beyond for your support since we opened in August 2015. We opened with high hopes and a belief that we could thrive in our wonderful neighborhood, but unfortunately we’ve never been able to achieve the level of business necessary to make our restaurant sustainable. A restaurant is the sum of so many efforts. To that end, we ...are grateful to the many people who helped make The Advocate a reality, from our hard-working, dedicated staff that put so much love and care into every dinner service, to our fantastic landlords, to all the artisans, vendors, designers, farmers and of course to our investors. We hope that many of you can come by for a final visit before we close our doors on October 27th. Sincerely, John Paluska and Andrew Hoffman Co-Owners
