Amazing selection and a friendly staff. We greatly enjoyed perusing the expansive selection. I was able to finally have a Japanese whiskey! Delicious!

I have loved this bar for many years. I am sad to say that the service has really gone down hill. Bartender Knowledge on whiskeys used to be amazing. Top notch. This is simply not the case anymore. I have to admit our bartender was actually rude to my group during our last visit, completely unprovoked. Will not be going back unfortunately.

Not too far from the highway makes it a good rest stop.Drinks are good. Flack magic is a good cocktail. It has a very local vibe.

While looking for a place to learn how to enjoy whiskey, I stumbled upon this place, for the second time, (forget what it was 30 years ago)Is the epitome of a warm cozy spot. Super friendly staff, informative about whiskey, great clientele, and decent prices all make for one great experience. I will be back!

Beware: the prices in the menu are not accurate. Was charged 50% more than the listed price for my drink. When I pointed this out, and they waited for me to point it out, they said that they've had to raise their prices. But then update your menus! Or, at least warn people before they order things! Server was not at all apologetic. They get more than one star only because they have a good selection.

Great local bar that also sports high-end cocktails, scotch, whiskey etc. Plus good people behind the bar which is the best part.

Worst bar ever. Horrible hospitality!! Never ever recommend this place.

It doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is amazing! Low lighting and awesome bar tenders. This is a great chill out spot without having loud music. They have tables inside and outdoor as well. They have a private room that you can also rent out that looks gorgeous! It's walking distance from me and I come here off and on when I want to get out of the house. The bar tenders suggest drinks too which makes their service even better!
Drinks are great and the bartenders are so friendly. Nice little hidden gem in Berkeley. They have a cute out door patio

A fun simple bar with hundreds of whiskeys. Great service. Very little food. In fact, I asked what food they had, and the bartender said chips and salsa and then said they had no chips and salsa. They do have Ritz crackers potato chips and pimento cheese. So, it's all about the drinks, which is not bad. There are drink specials during happy hour, and you'll find almost every type of alcohol here and very creative and talented bartenders that can create drinks for you. A fun crowd here also.

Disappointed to discover that a whiskey sour cost $20 at the low key neighborhood watering hole... There are plenty of bars in Berkeley which will offer the same drink at < $15.Update:Appreciate the clarification from the owner on base cocktail pricing. Will respectfully disagree that this is a question of looking for "cheap"; there is a certain expectation around a $20 cocktail, and this one did not meet that threshold.To be specific, future patrons should take note that the Michters based sour was $20 (pre-tip!) vs the $14 base sour. Will leave it up to others to assess for themselves if this is a fair price/quality ratio, but for us it's a definitive no.We accept the mistake of not questioning the upcharge better upfront, but this doesn't change the fact we paid $6 more for a Michters upgrade. Love our sours, but not when the bill leaves behind a sour aftertaste.
