A nice, but completely average brew pub. Brew their own beers, none if which have ever got me very excited. If other people we’re going there, I wouldn’t fight them but it wouldn’t ge my choice. An alright place to watch a game, if you get one of the three or four hoof tables for doing so, even though they don’t play the volume loud enough.

very good choice of beer, food was good, service was a bit slow, but all in all a good stop in berkeley

Came by on a rainy afternoon for beer and garlic fries and wasn’t disappointed. The IIMAXX Imperial IPA was excellent and the Pinnacle Pale Ale was decent. I’d like to come back to try their different Stouts. Reminds me a lot of the brewpubs in Seattle.

I have to confess, I’m not a fan of crowded noisy bars. This place is always busy, and the service is pretty bad. However, the beer and food are great. Triple Rock is also an important part of the Bay Area beer scene, so if you haven’t been, you definitely need to check it out. As for me, I’ll be a couple blocks away at Jupiter.

Amazing for festivals and special events: The Firkin Fest is one of the great Berkeley traditions. Popular local brewer Roger Davis has come aboard here, and is working this small system to provide beer for the thirsty University crowds, as well as doing special beers and collaborations from time to time. Ask for details on the beers and what might be special or unusual before ordering. Triple Rock and the nearby Jupiter share the same owner, but not the same beers, so it can be fun to stop at both of them when in the area.

Liked this a lot. The architecture and the decor are pretty old-fashioned and ideal for drinking. Feels like a less-mining town version of Falling Rock. The beer is noticeably not great which is the big downfall. Crowds gather fast.

Now this is my kind a beer joint. Great beers and good grub.

Great location in the heart of Berkeley. Minimalist, yet classic decor. Very welcoming. This place seems to attract all ages and walks of life, which is cool. It obviously skews toward the college crowd at certain times especially on Saturdays when they crowd the place for Cal football. I got a burger here once which was very good, but I usually only come for the beer. This rating is an update for me since my appreciation for Rodger’s brewing skills has grown big time. Triple Rock makes by far my favorite hoppy beers in the Bay Area, and they are very prolific. I stop in at least once a month and there are always, on average, 3 or so new beers on tap. The service is good with mostly college kids managing the bar. Say hello to Rodger if you can. He’s a great guy and very friendly to the homebrew community. The single hop series they do blows away anything I’ve had from Mikkeller or Sam Adams. Of course it’s fresh here, but doing a single hop series with low gravity pale ales is the way to go instead of muddling the hops with caramel malt laden IPA’s. The IIMAXX when it’s on is one of my favorite all time IIPA’s. If your traveling to the Bay Area, this place is an absolute MUST!

Awesome location and ambiance. Not much on tap beside their stuff, which is just O.K. I know Rodger Davis will be improving on that, so I’m looking forward to experiencing the improvement and increasing the score.

Classic spot, good beer, great burger, good service, and proper glassware.
