Food and service is great! Nice to see the bear's lair open and having tasty food. Pizza and the fries are amazing!! Happy hour is a good deal! The staff are friendly and attentive!

Vegetarian options: Cauliflower pizza crust for gluten free and was amazing ?
The food and service were just fine. Just wish the place were still open. This review is of the ASUC that owns and controls this barWhat self-respecting university can't keep a bar open on campus? Stop aiming for some bougie crowd. Beer+wine+cocktails+bar food+25,00 students = money in the bank. And how can any company survive when you don't let them do their own advertising and don't market the bar for them? You need a better model, folks. The old one has failed. Numerous times.Please think about your audience and inflation and make this work!

The new Bear's Lair is great! I had the Kale Salad and the dressing was really unique and delicious. I had the Brisket Sandwich on a different visit and that was great too. Will def go back for more visits!

I love the positive reviews and I guarantee that anyone who loved the food in the past is going to love it even more this year. Super talented chef, amazing menu and remarkably hard working staff. Do yourself a favor and stop in before a show

Came here on a pit stop when I toured UC Berkley. The person taking my order hooked it up with fries (like an insane amount of fries, to the point where I just took a to-go box and ended up sharing them). Maybe he noticed my student status and figured I was another starving student. But shout out to the person working there. It might have been the cook or idk, but thank you sir!

I guess it's under new management again since re-opening from the pandemic closures. Awesome deals for food and drinks. I guess I'm used to paying higher prices but was delightfully surprised at the bill for one burger+ fries & a beer. Definitely coming back. And everyone was super friendly. Cannot wait to come back and bring friends.

Visited here on game day and it was great place to have food and drinks beforehand. Definitely an older crowd around, but as we’re older it suited us fine. Away from the craziness in other bars. Nice seated area outside and selection of craft beers and food was good!

Great staff, decent beers, good cocktail selection, food is inconsistent, prices are average.
