    I was very pleasantly surprised this place. I had eaten dinner with the fam before meeting up with friends for drinks here so didn't get to experience too much, but I was very happy with the things I did get. The spring milk punch was SO GOOD. Like, way too drinkable. I usually like to try multiple drinks on a menu, but I just kept ordering this one. For a snack, I decided to get the crudite platter even though when I asked the server, she said it would just be lettuce, radishes, and something else... it turned out to be so much more! Endive, super sweet purple snap peas (which I've never seen before??? and now want to grow in my garden because they were like the best peas I've had in a while!!!), radishes, and some carrots. I'm still thinking about those snap peas haha.

    Happy hour snack menu

    Came here for Happy Hour and I'll be back This spot is a vibe Bartenders are friendly and efficient Happy hour menu has lots of food options and drink options Full bar that is very well stocked with an array of different options to choose from Inside has lots of seating available Parking is metered street parking only They have trivia nite here and they are also doing a St Patrick's day event here Glad I came I'll definitely be back

    Overall SUCH A CUTE PLACE. It is quite small but it def gets packed. The service was okay but to be fair it was busy, with that in mind, I'd probably give this place another chance. My friend was visiting and we wanted to get some drinks and dinner to catch up. We started off with fries and got a few of the cocktails each. It was quite watered down but even the flavor itself was subpar. My pasta sauce was also watery which was underwhelming. I was excited for the burrata on top but there was barely any and I think any type of cheese would have thickened the sauce a bit more but it was kind of bland. It was difficult to flag down a server (but still giving grace on how busy it was). It seems that a lot of people like it given the foot traffic and I am open to going again and trying the other dishes.

    1/2 chicken sandwich and 1/2 burger
    Stacy P.

    We split the chicken sandwich and burger and both were delicious. Atmosphere was great and the waitress was exceptionally friendly and engaging. We ordered drinks from the bar and they didn't appear to have much alcohol so our waitress brought some shots at no charge. We would definitely go back.

    Vodka pasta
    Ahana D.

    We had a lovely meal here but truly the stand out aspect of the experience were the delicious cocktails! As vegetarians, we did find the menu maybe a little bit limiting. The patatas bravas and the vodka sauce pasta were delicious and fresh! The host was very friendly and attentive and she made sure to check in on us often! We were there on a Monday night but the restaurant was still buzzing! Definitely a good sign :)

    Tuna tartar
    May Z.

    I am literally obsessed. From the decor, cozy furniture, immaculate service I received, to the decadent and creative food and drinks I tasted, this is a must try. The tuna tartar was my favorite. It was balanced, fish was tender, sauce was flavorful yet not overpowering, and it had grapes in it! The bread and butter came highly recommended from our server and I completely understand why! My cocktail- the money- was literally my favorite cocktail I've had all year. The cocoa nib infused tequila, with passion fruit, Thai chili and a chocolate chili rim.... Like licking the glass delicious. I will be dreaming of this experience... forever!

    Smashburger with sweet potato fries ~ check out those black sesame seeds on the bun!

    Yes. Yes. Yes. I've been wanting to try Roses on Adeline for quite some time now. A 'Rose' by marriage, I've had so many friends send me recs for this spot in Berkeley, and finally was able to try with a group of friends. Roses is the type of place and space that is everything I dream of when I think of the perfect spot to enjoy and imbibe ~ the ambiance is vibrant, open, and lively, exuding an elevated atmosphere that you can't wait to enjoy. The staff is incredibly fun and helpful, you can tell they all have a good thing going. And the food and drinks...double yum. Drink-wise I did the Adeline Spritz ~ deliciously crisp. They have a wide selection of amazing cocktails, and wine/beer/NA options/chilled shots, and more. Food-wise we ordered a bunch of items to share including: Heirloom Tomatoes & Corn salad, Double Smashburger, Fried Chicken Sandwich (katsu-chicken style), and the Rigatoni alla Vodka with Burrata. Chef's kiss all around. The salad was light and incredibly fresh, loved the touch of burrata in the pasta making it extra creamy and comforting, and the Smashburger...I can't wait to be back again for this alone. The bun has toasted black sesames, and the sandwich comes with shredduce, American cheese, caramelized onions, and their own special sauce. A must-try ~ I had my own half because it was so perfect. Looks like there is a HH from 4-6p on food and drinks, and one of the best parts I haven't mentioned yet..this spot stays open a tad bit later than the norm: weekdays until 10p except for Thursdays at 11p, and Friday/Saturday until midnight. I would check the hours ahead of time, and also leave time to find street parking (it's a busy area) or grab a ride share so you can indulge a bit. All in all, so refreshing to have a place like this in the East Bay that checks all the boxes for me and a night out with the girlies. Can't wait to come back and try more from the cocktail menu and grab a dessert too.

    This has become our favorite place for happy hour! Being in the bay has a ton of things that makes it the best place to live, but it is also extremely expensive. Things like a snack and a drink can quickly cost $40. Finding this bar has reunited our love with going out and socializing in public, instead of having to do it at home to avoid $20 drinks. The happy hour here is our favorite. We've tried the vegetable crudités, the sweet potato fries, and a bunch of their drinks. I appreciate that they have multiple options for vegetarians- it can be hard to even find snacks these days out. Our favorite drink by far is the Pimm's cup. When we first visited we tried a bunch of drinks between us all. After our second visit, I now strictly get Pimm's cups. They are delicious. The bar itself is a cozy and social setting. The stained glass window behind the bar is absolutely gorgeous. The waiters are always kind and nice. We will continue to make the drive just to hang out and have a good time here. Thank you for crafting such a beautiful and accessible gathering spot

    This is what we need in our neighborhood ! This place felt so welcoming and people seemed to piling in. Glad we made reservations on a Saturday night. Service was wonderful because everyone participated, meaning the host, the server, the bartender, all came to our table and were very attentive but not overly so. I had the Dashe Zin ($13/glass) and my wife had a cocktail ($16) followed up with Rigatoni in Vodka sauce ($22) for me and Crispy Tofu Tacos ($19) for Andrea. Reasonably priced for our area, just happy there is something with quality and vibe in South Berkeley. Great job !

    Cute drink!
    Avongold E.

    My friend and I went here for dinner. They close at 12 so we caught the tail end of the night. She had the chicken sandwich and I had the smash cheeseburger. We have our sandwich and we swapped so I got a taste of both and I must say the Smashburger was fire. It had sesame seeds on top. It was bomb. My friend had a drink. The drink was pretty. We really liked the bartender and the server. They were very friendly and entertaining. It was cute in there. I recommend this place.

    Steak
    Saritha A.

    Went here for a girls night out recently. We love places where it's doesn't feel rushed to put in your orders and they are getting ready to close. So we loved that. The food and drinks were very good! We got the charcuterie board, the steak which is really good, the friend chicken sandwich and the some bread/butter. All of them were good! Same with the drinks, we had wine and cocktails. The hostess was great!

    Liz B.

    Beautiful ambiance. We were seated right away. We got a few cocktails ranging from sweet to sour. I enjoyed the salad with added katsu fried chicken, so delicious! I finished that plate clean! Pasta was warm and yummy and filling. Absolutely loved chatting and hanging out there til almost midnight. Highly recommend this sweet spot!

    Charcuterie and lemon drops
    Trina B.

    Love love love it here! First time and I highly recommend! I was looking for food late night, and found this spot on yelp. They are open until midnight, we got there around 10:45 and ordered the smash burger w/ fries, mushroom oysters, and the charcuterie board. Everything was top-tier delicious. They have a homemade hot sauce that is oh so delicious! Our food came out swiftly. The service was excellent. The ambience and the lighting and aesthetics were all pleasing to me. My overall experience I would say best of the best. I don't know what I love more of the service or the food. Lol We also tried their lemon drops. They were delicious.

Looking for an in-between spot (a sip and bite before dinner), we cozied up to the bar here for a quick cocktail and bar food snack. We ordered onion rings that came with the choice of a variety of sauces including Tikka Sauce, Siracha Mango, Sweet Chili, Korean BBQ, Hot Honey, and more. Both the cocktails and snacks came timely, and we enjoyed conversation and community chatting with other locals/tourists visiting Berkeley for a short time. The vibes are right in Tipsea and I dig the nautical ambiance/theme/play on words. Worthy of a stop through; street parking on Shattuck/paid garages nearby, but ride-share sometimes easiest for these locations.

After being ambitious for three minutes to find parking, I parked across the street on Durant. My friend and I arrived, were greeted and seated ourselves in one of the booths. Looking at the drink menu we asked for recommendations - I got Lightkeeper's Daughter, which has a nice citrusy taste. Side note but I love when they give us crushed small balls of ice. My friend ordered the Green Lantern, which was very good. I think the fresh Fiji apple juice inside is what made this drink stand out, though it didn't have the slight cider taste that you get from fresh apple juice. It was just good. Drinks get a 5/5. I ordered the truffle burger and good gawd was it delicious. I'd definitely order again. It comes with fries, and I upgraded to the Cajun fries they had. Lemme get back to the burger - I'm not a person who goes crazy for burgers but sometimes I just have that craving for red meat. This burger did not disappoint - the mushrooms were made perfectly and were in each bite of the burger with nothing falling off - you know how sometimes the burger is too stuffed and ingredients start to come off? Not here. 10/5 for the burger. It just might be the best burger I've ever had, no exaggeration. Considering this bar markets themselves as the best bar in Berkeley and I had a really good experience, I'd like to come back and try other drinks and other items off of the menu. I never expected to be wowed by the burger here, but as a fan of truffle I was glad this was on the menu. They have NA beverages and I was tempted to try, especially since my astrological sign is the name of one of the mocktails, but here is my issue. Why are we having NA beverages cost the same as alcohol beverages? It just seems like a rip to me, no matter how well you craft us some juice. Just my opinion, but it's nice they offer NA beverages since more and more people are letting go of the liquor. However, my point still stands. $15 is nuts to me. Have I spent that before at another restaurant/bar before? Sure have, when I wasn't drinking and I've decided that I'd rather opt for water or a Topo Chico if offered. The ambiance here was mellow. Very dark inside so I didn't get great pics of the menu, but the pic of the burger? Good and necessary.

    Hey Y'all, Went here…read morethe night going into my birthday a few days ago. I totally forgot the name of it, someone took me here, but I hunted it down just to leave a review! THIS IS A GREAT BAR. one of the best I ever been to. Their food is so good, I am still thinking about their prawn street tacos and the prawn flatbread. I wish I had some right now! I can taste it in my mouth, oh lord. They have one of the BEST BARTENDERS EVER, her name is Adela, I hope I am spelling that correctly. She was so beautiful, she had long beautiful dread locks. We talked and she was very welcoming her and Nicholas who birthday was a day before mines, he was so cool. They made sure we had everything we needed and our drinks was to our likings, she was very very informative about our drinks, what was in it, and she even had great detail to the things we wanted/looking for in our drinks. I still can not get off how good the food was. This place is a VIBE, period. Music was on POINT! and its very cute and I LOVE THE HUGE OPEN window, wish I got a pic of it. It wasn't loud, ghetto or dirty, just a nice place to vibe, have a very good drink and great food. I can not wait to come back and see you guys, EVERYONE PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. 1000/10. LOVE YOU GUYS!

I tried two different drinks and requested a re-do with less ginger but they both still had this spicy, ginger-y taste-- not for me, personally. and their soft drinks are very limited, only carrying Mexican coke that's $5 a bottle. after we were seated, it took about 15-20 mins before someone checked on us again. and that was kind of the theme throughout the night. but the servers were lovely! maybe someone didn't show for their shift. the food is verrrrry good though. maybe some spicier sauce options would be nice. i think the chutney is the spiciest they have. the white sauce is also very yummy too. would visit again just because the food is that good.

It was an absolute treat watching the bartenders make each drink--they were incredibly fast, skilled, and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. Our cocktails arrived within minutes. I think I finished my martini in literal seconds. My husband's Melon Drop was served in a perfectly chilled glass and wasn't overly sweet (IYKYK). The prices are more than fair, and I can't wait to come back to try the hot dogs and work my way through more of the cocktail menu!

    I've heard all the hype about Tallboy, so I had to check it out myself…read more I do think it lived up to some of the hype, but I think they could've used their space better. It is a unique layout to a bar, and probably better concept for earlier hours, when it isn't as crowded during the night. It can fill up really quickly, since the area to order a drink, dance, and mingle is narrow, since the bar is literally in the middle of the room. Some of the staff can be extremely nice and kind, and there are some who you can tell are fed up, upset, and don't have the best attitude. I get it, though. It's a cool bar to check out or be the first stop of the night. The djs they have always turn up. Good luck getting a drink under 15 minutes though!

    This was a great find! Made reservations for 4 to celebrate a birthday. Parking can be a little…read moretough in this area, so leave extra time. It's a nice, earthy, hip vibe. Both the drink and food menus are well thought out. We asked for some advice when ordering and the server (owner?) was very kind, honest, and helpful. Everything we had was excellent! We tried some standard choices and unusual ones and it was all amazing. Best veggie pakora (flavor, texture, and sauce) in the area. The spices across the board were artfully dimensional and delicious, not just hot or overwhelming. The cocktails and mocktails were really nice- a little unusual (distinctive, but not weird). They were well balanced and beautifully served. This is our new favorite Indian spot and we'll definitely be back!

I can't wait to come back and order food, but the drinks and ambiance remain just lovely, and the family that runs this spot are also just the most kind. We came ironically during their happy hour and ordered Espresso Martinis and watched the end of a big college basketball game. We started to see Shattuck 'wake back up' if you will, as most places close and reopen around 4:30-5:00pm. Service was quick, and if we weren't on our own food tour de Berkeley, would have ordered a couple of happy hour snacks or just stayed for dinner. We heard the Tikka Masala Fried Chicken and the Indian fusion brunch are something to def make our way back to try. Other unique menu items: Tumeric Mashed Potatoes, Sesame Avocado Fry Bread, Tigerlily Nachos & Tacos, and the North Indian Style Meatballs. Oh, and the brunch cocktails :) If you're looking for a date night spot in the month of love, grab some friends on the weekend, or just saddle up solo to catch a game, Tigerlily checks all these boxes.

We heard this building has been many different iterations over the years, but happy to have found this spot in Berkeley for a fun happy hour with friends. We enjoyed the wine flight (choice of 4 wines), each with a nice pour, and shared the spinach dip with chips. We also enjoyed an espresso martini to cap off the evening. The staff were super friendly, and the lounge was filled with what seemed like regulars. The lounge couches were super comfy and it was an overall very relaxing yet intimate experience. I would definitely come back again with a group, or even stop by for a date night. Parking is a bit tough in this area, but there is street parking (if lucky enough to find it) and garages nearby.

    Honestly, this is one of the better bars in Oakland. They have decently priced drinks, good djs, a…read morelot of space to dance and mingle, and an entire back patio with a photobooth. I think the back patio might be more spacious than inside. It's a great usage of space with plenty of space heaters and plenty of seats and tables. The security and staff are pretty typical for what you come across bars, but, overall, I had a great time and experience! There's also a ton of seating room inside and doesn't feel too crowded or compact. Definitely will be coming back!

As I was walking in, I briefly stopped after recognizing someone I knew. At that point, another security guard began yelling at me and then grabbed me forcefully to move me along. I understand that security staff have a job to do and need to keep entrances and walkways clear. However, the way the situation was handled felt completely unnecessary. I was not causing a disturbance, and there was no reason for physical contact. Being grabbed so aggressively was uncomfortable and unprofessional. I hope management addresses this issue and speaks with the security staff about appropriate ways to interact with guests. First impressions matter, and this interaction immediately impacted my experience.
