    This was the watering hole back in my undergrad days, so coming back with a fellow alum hit me…read moreright in the nostalgia. Jupiter's been a Berkeley staple for 30 years and it's easy to see why. The two-level beer garden with the firepit and string lights is the whole vibe, and the church-pew-and-tin interior (it's an old livery stable) gives it character you can't fake. Came on a busy night, which is Jupiter's default state, and the service was still great. Ordered a personal pizza. Their wood-fired stuff is solid, not life-changing, but exactly what you want next to a house brew. Decent food, great beer, unbeatable atmosphere. It's a two-second walk from the Downtown Berkeley BART, so there's really no excuse. Student, alum, or just passing through, post up in the beer garden and stay a while. Some things don't need to change, and this is one of them.

    We haven't been here in sometime. We decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did. There's a…read morelarge selection of pizzas and sandwiches. Also, there's a ton of beers to choose from as well. We split a pizza and a salad and it was a lot of food. Sitting on the back patio is the best. Even better if you can sit close to the fountain on the shade side! Very chill, very lovely area to chat and eat. Our server was great. he was very friendly and open to any questions we had. Totally BARTable as well. If you plan to BART in, the closest stop is Downtown Berkeley. There's also plenty of garage parking nearby.

    I'm out and about in Berkeley today and I saw that my Yelp community manager Gina enjoyed visiting…read morehere. She's right - it's very fun. I arrived at opening, 2pm. I'm sure it's more of a nighttime experience. Firstly, I took advantage of the speakeasy beer option, which is hidden in the back of the bar. It's self serve with a nice selection. You're given a card that allows you to pour what you want. For food, I did a shrimp and a lamb, yes, I said lamb, taco. Both were great. The lamb was surprisingly great as a taco meat. Very rich and tender with warm, Indian type spices. I finished it off with a Pimm's cocktail from their happy hour menu made with a ginger syrup. Delicious. The bartender/server, Christine, was excellent. She really made me feel comfortable here. As I said, I feel like this is more of a nighttime place, and my review is for afternoon.

    We came as a party of 8. They have a hidden speakeasy tucked away in the back behind a bookcase…read moredoor, which was such a cool touch! A standout feature is their self-pour beer system. They have a variety of different beer flavors available through dispensers where you simply tap your card and pour as much or as little as you'd like while keeping track of the total $$. Our group shared one card and asked for four cups so everyone could sample different beers, which made it a really fun tasting experience. It's a great way to try multiple options without committing to a full pint of something you're unsure about. For food, we ordered the pizza, chicken tikka masala, naan, and tamarind chili black ribs. The ribs in particular had a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavors. However, the portions felt small for the price point, which was the biggest drawback of the meal. While the food was good, it didn't quite match the value of the drinks and atmosphere. Tap in lounge is a solid place to grab drinks and hang with friends. Just be prepared for food portions that are a bit smaller than expected for what you're paying.

    This review is for the upstairs deck - food was decent, had a Racer NA IPA, which was perfectly ok…read more The deck was very comfortable for outdoor seating, but loud - but not remotely as loud as the main area downstairs, which was mobbed with soccer fans. Ordering via QR code and getting the food was easy. Fries were ok, I tried the Brussels sprouts, they were also ok. Prices are very reasonable for the serving sizes. I had the slider special, which came with three sliders: one smash burger, one impossible burger (I think?) and one fried chicken slider. A word of warning - the fried chicken sandwich is SPICY. Too hot for me, and I wasn't expecting that.

    They get a 5 for service & experience (food is good with beers/can't complain!)…read more Came here twice this week as we were attending concerts at the greek. Two suggestions to maximize your experience: 1- if you can come any day and are here at 5:10 pm, make sure you have a couple dimes for a special daily happy hour (iykyk) 2- if you can get here on a thursday nite (we did) make sure you order. A Monkeyhead to share (or enjoy solo assuming you can walk/take bart/or uber) - finally!! Food is reasonably priced and yummy with beers. Recommend the nachos as they come or smash burgers....pairs well with beers. And staff is very attentive as this bar has tons of regulars that are NOT students!

    My after work watering hole, and sometimes during work nudge nudge, wink wink say no more!…read moreGreat selection of tap beers and a full bar. Decent food menu, even have a decent veggie burger. They've got some nice veggie appetizers, cauliflower, fake chicken tender thingies, and a nice pretzel. Probably the best pretzel I've ever had. Pay the little extra for the cheese dip. Me likes the cheese bites. And I love the shishito peppers. Lotsa interesting folks come up in here, and there's some daily regulars, a real mixed bag , fun people. I met a couple people that turned out to be my good friends for the last few years. Attached is a concert hall that has some pretty interesting live music acts and very diverse from hip hop to jazz to funk to rock and roll and that dark sider stuff, heavy metal, etc. They rent the whole joint out if you have a party or they rent sections as well. Great spot for wedding rehearsal dinners, high school reunions, company parties, etc. Stimulating conversation abounds and a lot of laughter bouncing off the walls. A great place to see sporting events, especially the Warriors. Very nice patio as well with big umbrellas and fire pit. There is an odd set up as you have to go to the bar to get your drinks each time you want something. The downside could be long lines as they don't have table service but they bring you stuff. They don't take orders from the table. Some kind of crowd control thing? Or mis management or local rules? At any rate, it is a fun hang out with killer bartenders and servers. Great spot, get over here and enjoy yourself! Time to leave your crib, get off the sofa, turn off Netflix. And remember, social media is not! Let's go, get out and make Berkeley great again! Tip well the service is great!

    I was an insane person and went to go see 4 concerts in 1 week, all at different venues and I have…read moreto say that this one is my favorite. I went to see the visual kei, Japanese rock band, JILUKA, here with my boyfriend and we lined up beforehand for VIP. The staff walked out, showed us the rules for the VIP that was printed on a piece of paper and explained it to us too, they walked down the line to scan us in as well. Venue itself is pretty neat. The front part is a bar area with lots of tables and seating and outdoor seating as well. Since it was before the concert, we were able to enjoy some food and drinks from the bar and kitchen. It was also during their Happy Hour too which was great. My boyfriend got a drink (not sure what it was, but it was refreshing and citrus tasting?) and we shared a Bavarian soft pretzel with mustard and we got the white cheddar dipping sauce added on for a nominal fee. One of the best pretzels that I've ever had! Deliciously soft interior, nice chew to the texture of the exterior. Comes out hot, warm and delicious. Great on it's own, but great with the sauces too. Perfect dash of the coarse salts on it. I'd get this again for sure and would like to one day order more from their menu. The live house music area is in the back in a separate room. Restrooms were clean too. Enough space for the bands to sell their merch and do a meet and greet. Wasn't a huge venue and insane turn out, but it fit the crowd and I liked how intimate setting was. I was around 3-4 rows from the front and even with a mosh pit and wall of death, I was able to shift around and see the band more clearly. Easy visibility no matter where I was shifted around. Lighting was pretty good and made it easy to take pictures and video. I think the vocals were a bit more muffled than the rest of the band members playing, but that might just be the set up more than anything. Of all the venues I stopped by for the week, this had the most approachable and friendly staff. Greeted going and as we were leaving too. I didn't overheat at this one either, so the AC was A+!! There's paid parking nearby but if you read the signs and go around, you can get free street parking too. Bring more J-rock/over seas acts here, it was so good!

First impression,…read morespacious yet, beautiful establishment, I was welcomed immediately upon arrival and I always choose to sit at the bar, the bartender/service personnel was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave me some incredible recommendations which I appreciate very much plus the drinks were phenomenal as well. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was executed beautifully, the flavors were mind blowing and the presentation was made w/ love, care and attention to detail. I ordered Steamed Chicken Momo 10/10 Must try The KTM Lamb Choila Omg another 10/10 The menu has plenty of variety, something for everyone.. literally!! Thank you Tipsy Yeti Restaurant & Bar family, I've been coming back almost every week since then and the staff always embraces me and treats me just like family . This amazing Restaurant has a patron and friend for life. I am truly grateful much love and deep reverence.
