A nice big copper top bar. A big patio outside. Lots of seating. Friendly and fast service. Didn’t try the food. The beer was good, along with some nice guest taps.

This is an attractive bar/restaurant located a few blocks from its sister/brother bar, Triple Rock. The seating is spread out across a large indoor area and an equally large outdoor patio. There are always several house beers on tap as well as some good guest beers. There is a large menu of good food for a fair price.

Large place with a really nice outdoor space. Vidited during SF beer week Sour Sunday. Not too crowded, good service. Worth going back.

I was here a couple weeks ago. This is a very large, busy place with upstairs and patios and seating in all sorts of haphazard places. The bathrooms are outside as a part of some sort of shopping plaza (much like Sam Horne’s) with the exception that the bathrooms are dirty and totally dumpy. They had a really nice guest beer selection with maybe 9 guest taps, and most of those were interesting. They had Drakes Alpha Hop, and Moonlight Bony Fingers, and a couple other Moonlight beers. They also had about 10 of their own house beers, which I ironically didn’t even try. I didn’t order food. The bartenders were drinking beers regularly all along, so it seemed like a nice laid-back place. I had a good time here.

Stopped by on a week day for lunch. Very pretty looking interior space. Nice copper bar. Upstairs-downstairs. I counted 17 guest taps and 8 house taps. Selection of guest taps was pretty decent. House taps were nice as well. Didn’t see the cask that is mentioned in the description. Service was a bit slow and it wasn’t entirely cheap. The food was good, but got to me cold (over heard the waitress say that she had been working for 9 days straight). House beers were good, but most of them had an odd papery quality that I assume was either hot side aeration or subpar malts (I hear the current crops of Canadian pale are a bit subpar). Overall a decent stop. Also randomly ran into ratebeerian, badlizard. Nice meeting you. One other gripe that I forgot about. They only pour in pint or half pint sizes. NO sampling flight. Also no wifi.

The outdoor patio is one of the best things going some nights in Berkeley, although I never need the smooth jazz acts they hire to play. They make their own descent beers, on par with Triple Rock down the street. I’ve never been a big fan of their pizzas or other food-- though I’ve never turned it down when the group I’m with has wanted to order something.

Great dark wood, copper bar. Good service, good beer.

Better than Triple Rock. House beers seem comparable, they have 15 guest taps, and anything good from Trip gets a spot here anyway. Plus its bigger, has live music, and the arch/decor is just as cool. Sick burn.

Cool place. Worth a visit but wouldn’t seek it out again. Beers are pretty good they have guest beers but the food needs work. Service by college kids.
