How is the worst place I've ever ever been to the service. Not only did I pay more than I should for the common drink at this bar they kicked me out before closing time which is scheduled on their website and they were very aggressive and even called the police on us. This establishment is so unprofessional to the point where their ownership needs to reconsider, their business model. As a manager of the business, the customer service here is not acceptable for any establishment in any state of this country.

Good place to have a drink or to eat burgers or tacos. On the drinks it is a little bit pricey for a beer but they have offers for palomas and the place is clean.

Huge line when we arrived and every single person in line looked like they were hardly even 18. They weren't charging cover for the little girls, but everyone else has to pay $20. Seems to be a very honest business model.

Considering it’s closed until further notice we can’t review it.

We loved the food, the bartender was amazing, and the chef was awesome. It was 2 guys running the whole show before the Cal game and they killed it. Thanks for a great night!

Bartenders are always amazing and very attentive they do get busy but if you give them a holler because the music is very loud they will turn around and spin around do a 360 and still give you a shot when they get chance lol ? been in here twice now both times played some pool had a few laughs and danced pretty good atmosphere if you're going for 1990s_ 2000s vibes for the ? night;)Wheelchair accessibility: There is stairs and there's really no wheelchair accessibility at this place ? sadly.....

How are you not open on a college football game day??? You could be making a killing.

Classic Berkeley bar. Any negative reviews should not be trusted. Kip's is the best.

I only went here in 2011. I thought it was a college bar that had friendly service. It's right down the street from UC Berkeley and by some great restaurants. Might have to check it out again.

If you like your privates snipped off, by all means frequent this place. I approached two beautiful women, had a few words with them, and let them go when they were no longer interested in conversing with me. I walked to the dance area to move my body and relieve stress from the work week, and then Chico's (Chico is the bartender) body guard, Marcus, approached me and told me I had to leave. Marcus told me that Chico asked that I leave the premises. When I asked why, Marcus had no real answer. You can make your own speculative answers. Regardless, if you approach women respectfully because you are heterosexual and would like to date women, then do not go to this bar. You will be kicked out of the premises.Warm Regards,A.Z.G.

Gross environment, disgusting bathrooms, music way too loud.

Primitive dive bar & grill. Mostly a big, open space. Lots of stairs. No decor. Must show ID at door. College age crowd 99.9 percent. Grill closes early. Has Karaoke night, but 2/3 is DJ. The kids like dance music, of course. High energy after 11 pm.

Good fishbowls and good vibes overall. They have taco tuesday as well, with a $30 margarita fishbowl and $2 tacos. The inside is spacious and actually quite nice which is surprising for a college spot.
