Hot Topic

Sick of going to the mall to pick up your black nail-polish and fishnet stocking's? Check out the Hot Topic on Telegraph Ave! The atmosphere is different than the traditional mall locations, the staff is always helpful and friendly, and hey....YOU AREN'T SURROUNDED BY MALL ZOMBIES! This has to be the only Hot Topic I've ever seen a red chandelier in too. If your ever in Berkeley, this is a great place to check out (and get validated! I usually buy a clearance tee to get a validation to the red parking garage.)

I love this store, they always have the coolest t-shirts with the vintage look. They have also a great collection of pins and piercings. If you are looking for cool vintage t-shirts you have to come here, it is just a few steps from UC Berkeley. Low prices with a great location.

Despite its scary and dark appearance, this store is actually a lot of fun to shop in. They feature a lot of cute cartoon characters and usually has cool stuff on the sales rack. The service is also really friendly. Check out the jewelry selection too...you can find lots of cool and unique items there!

If you can just for a minute swallow your pride about the capitalistic marketing and mainstreaming of goth culture, you might take notice that Hot Topic is actually kind of amusing in a good way. Pre-fab punk is here to stay, so since you can't beat it, join it. Clothes here can be pretty damn cheap, and where else can you get a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac shirt and a top hat?

this hot topic store is quite unique. its all the stuff you cant find and its all in one place. its not that expensive as well. and its good that its in a mall, in stonestown [ good transportation]

Hot Topic - you either love it or hate it. If you're reading this, chances are you love/like it and are wondering about this particular store. Because it's on the world-famous Telegraph Ave., it gets a lot of foot traffic. When you're inside, it definitely feels like a high volume store. This can be both good and bad - they might carry more goods than other Hot Topics, but it also means they may run out faster. The store itself isn't very large, it does get a little messy in there with people picking up and looking at clothes and stuff.

Parking is a problem.
