This place is awesome. A staple in Berkeley that's great for a chill night with your partner, or a night out with your friends. Open late, affordable, friendly staff, great food, hella fun!
Secret: it's actually just a really nice cafe w/wifi even when you don't want to play games
Super awesome collection of board games and lots of space to gather as a group. Great coffee too!
This place is great for groups. You can bring here someone if you are trying to show them Berkeley, it's a place you cannot miss if you come here. It's great for pizza and beer
Cool place! Great atmosphere, lots of room inside & huge patio area. Service is quick too. Good selection of beer on tap; try the Red Spot or honey.
Love having pizza outdoor in their garden patio. Felt like vacation!
People of Berkeley, there is a new beer spot in town. Westbrae Biergarten has just opened up a location on Gilman St. bringing to you amazing German brews, food, outdoor seating & lots of TVs. Read more.
Bring dogs and/or kids! Beer is always excellent. My go to neighborhood spot!
Kid and dog friendly. Expect to see children running around.
Good drinks. Outside area. Gets crowded after 10. Lots of regulars and you can bring in your (well behaved) dog.
Come with seven of your closest pals for the eight-person namesake Prizefighter "punch" bowl (rum, lemon, port, porter beer), which certainly packs a...punch. Read more.
Bring your dog, a healthy liver and play some shuffleboard.
Pork Belly lovers, travel to the East Bay for Great China's Thrice-cooked pork belly. They also have amazing clams and oyster dishes that will make you reconsider your fav Chinese food spot. Read more.
Must get the Double skin dish and Peking duck and walnut shrimp
Splurge on the Peking duck if you're with a group! It is delicious - especially the skin!
This restaurant has a state of the art sound/acoustics system that can spot control noise levels in sections of the restaurant. Pretty amazing! Read more.
Make it a combo and ask for one fish and one Al Pastor taco. Also, ask the staff for a sipping Mezcal for desert.
This place is great for groups: affordable and diverse menu. I usually stick with the classics: enchiladas or burritos. Oh, and did somebody say pitchers of margaritas?!
Awesome chips and guac! Nice margaritas too.
Flour Tortilla Chips
All my fave Indian comfort foods in one place; just eat it all!
My favorite place in Berkeley. Get the Masala Dosa.
Couldn't be happier to find dhaba cuisine done so well. Try the chaat, pani puri, dosas, chole bhatura, aloo paratha, and/or the veg kathi roll. Wash it all down with a chai at the end.
For maximum flavor, be sure to get the chorizo con papas! Then try all the salsas and find your favorite.
take advantage of their free parking on the opposite corner
I really want to like the food here, but the food is bland, a taste you can't even enhance by habanero salsa...presentation is beautiful, but there's something missing...
One of my all-time favorites. Dope and delicious and enough choices for everyone.
Spinach salad with the mustard French with a stuffed sausage pizza Is the way to go!
The best deep-dish pizza anywhere! Get the spinach and mushroom, but be prepared to wait for it....but it's worth the wait!
There's no beating the atmosphere at this Buddhist Temple. Come Sundays, you can dine in the courtyard, enjoying traditional Thai curries, noodles and stir fries, with mango sticky rice for dessert. Read more.
Get there early or they will run out if food!!
Mango sticky rice (pic) was awesome, Thai iced tea was too sweet for me. If you are there with someone, have one person wait in line and the other purchase tokens so you can exchange for food.
The best that Berkeley has to offer.
Dense and delicious gelato. I'd like to see how this place shapes to fit Berkeley as time goes, since it's so new. Be warned that portions are small so opt for more than just the baby scoop!
Their fior di latte gelato is soooo good. 🤤🥛 If you like milk flavored things, you have to get it!
Go for happy hour and get some cheap truffle fries. Their whisky selection is impressive and also great beers on tap.
The burger choices are all top-notch. Highly recommend the rotating beers... Have yet to try their rye whiskey selection, but look forward to it. Casual place with multiple monitors to check out games
Not a great spot if you have time constraints. They have some point-of-sale issues they need to work out, and the kitchen takes about 20 minutes on a slow day.
My new favorite pizza place in Berkeley! Incredible staff, great ambiance and they are on a mission to stop human sex trafficking. Not to mention the pizza was to die for.
Cheeseboard minus the median, plus the sports bar feel.
The happy hour here is awesome. Beer with a free slice/sliver 4-6 weekdays. Perfect at the end of a long day of classes.
Best tres leches cake I have ever had. In. My. Life.
Cool space decoration, interesting restaurant (serves food), bakery (sells pastries and cakes), cafe (vibe). Torta and horchata is SO good
Great for awesome Mexican pastries and Bfast croissants!!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
