Brewery · Downtown Berkeley · 222 tips and reviews
Joey Combs: Jupiter is the THE place to get craft beer and pizza in Berkeley. Try to get a good spot outside during the summer months, it's so worth it.
Angelica Dongallo: The patio is one of my favorite places EVER. Local beers, yummy pizzas, live music, whimsical lights strewn about the arbor, what's not to love.
Lears Fool: Pizza, good craft beer and an outdoor fire pit. Not hard to explain why you want to be here. Everything is good. Don't worry about "signatures" get what you are in the mood for.
