I went with the fish tacos, and my coworker went with the turkey meatloaf. The food menu consisted of pub grub, but in a slightly healthier sense: it included vegetarian items, side salads instead of fries, grilled fish, turkey meatloaf, etc not many greasy, artery-clogging items. The beer was above average, but not stellar by any means, and the selection was limited to pale ales, ambers/reds, American wheat beers, and an apricot ale. In total, we ordered six pints and two entrees. After 8:00pm, the restaurant crowd began thinning out and things got quieter. That said, my coworker and I didn't any real problems conversing we just had to raise our voices. With no loud music and plenty of space, you think it'd be easy to hear the other people at your table, but it was surprisingly loud inside. I spotted at least two flat screen TVs, each playing muted sports highlights, but most patrons seemed far more interested in conversation (us included). The place was pretty crowded, though we were quickly led to an open table in the restaurant area. Stopped in here with a coworker last night (Tuesday) to cap off a successful business trip. Vibe: 3.5 | quality: 3.5 | service: 4 | selection: 3 | food: 4 That said, the space is quite accommodating and not bad for large groups, eating lunch/dinner or watching games.ĭon't go out of your way, and there are other better spots in Berkeley, but this place is literally three blocks from the freeway if you are in the area (Gilman St exit off I-80). Quality of the beer just doesn't quite get it done. Growlers are a great deal, cheapest growler prices I've ever seen, $8 for a refill. They do rotate seasonals in from time to time, which is nice. Selection is decent and some of the beers are good but never close to great. Lots of TVs and a nice view of the brewhouse. Their IPAs are OK and might stand out elsewhere but not in the bay area when there are so many other great local hoppy beers to choose from.Ītmosphere is interesting, very large space, and bar is pretty long as well. Good place to watch games and drink mediocre/decent sometimes/good occasionally (though not often) beer. Vibe: 3.5 | quality: 3 | service: 3.5 | selection: 4
