Easy to miss this place but if you're a cal student you know what free house is. Awesome drinks on tap , even better ones on request.Good ambience, packed with students… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The giant pretzels are so gigantic you won't need to have anything else...except beer , of course. They've got 29 of 'em in bottles like Bear Republic Big Black Stout and 16 different Cali drafts . Read more

Solid college-friendly option around the UC's campus. Have the salmon , the grilled sandwiches , or the burger . Sit outside by the fireplace .

I-House Berkeley

A great place to bring your parents - especially if they're buying! They have a nice patio in the courtyard.A bit pricey , but very close to I-House and campus.

The bar area is nice and the fireplace is appreciated, especially when it's cold out! They have a good selection of beer too.

Good beer , decent food, and great outdoor space , but if you are expecting friendly service , look elsewhere. The wait staff here are the grumpiest you will find in the area.

The bartender was so cool and made my random drink request on the spot - Tan Ferrari so good yo.

Benjamin Ortiz

It's a nice place to hang and have a drink. Fun, but not too loud that you can't hear the person next to you.

This is the only place you can get a rogue hazelnut . One of my favorite beers .
