    Rooftop views
    Kristina K.

    I went on a Saturday at 4:30, and it was so so fun!! I loved the vibes, the fire pit was amazing and I loved seeing the views change from day to sunset to night. Such a great rooftop bar overlooking Berkeley and even can see Mount Tam in the distance!!! There is a nice inside area too if the outside is too crowded. There was a live DJ as well I noticed on the inside as I was going to the bathroom. Mike was our waiter and he was so attentive and nice! Service was so fast and friendly. He answered our questions about what dishes/drinks to have and was so helpful! K now on to the food & drinks. Everything was so on point!!! Brussel sprouts with chopped peanuts on them were incredible, truffle parm fries were so good and such a good portion size, smash burger and fried chicken sandwich were both so incredibly good. I would repeat that whole line up again the next time I go!! Every drink was amazing. They make their own ginger beer, how cool is that!!! The September pineapple drink was like pineapple dole whip in drink form. Nothing was too sweet, all good ratios of everything!!

    The views make this place worth it. On a clear day, you can see everything. We came on a Friday evening and they had live music and had blankets (bring a sweatshirt for sure). Service was fine, although they were very busy. Food was ok and drinks were great. Great spot for a drink and an app to take in the views.

    Came here especially for the view from the rooftop-- unfortunately there was no seating available! I will have to see if they allow reservations next time. You have to walk into the hotel and ask to be let into the elevator for this lounge. Staff were super friendly and helpful. It was a bit busy, so there was a wait time to order once we were seated. The food was worth the wait! I got the pizza of the day and it was sooo flavorful. I also ordered the sweet potato tater tots and they were amazing and they give you a big portion! I would come again.

    Excellent view. Chill vibes. Good cocktails. -1 for charging way too many fees! -1 for requiring reservations even though 90% of their tables were empty.

    A nice small lounge to come to. Would've loved to sit outside but bay area fog makes that impossible. This place is quite small but very relaxing. We ordered so much food and everything were good. From the parmesan chicken wings, calamari to the big salad (it is a big portion) all the way to chocolate dessert. Service was awesome. Towards the end of the meal my friends and I talked about my birthday, (that same day), which has heard by our server. He offered a birthday drink or cheesecake. Cheesecake was good. The musicians playing in the afternoon/dinner were awesome. Love me some live music. DJ came in at night and the vibe changed. Lively vibe. Brace yourself with difficult parking situation, it is downtown Berkeley after all. Valet parking is available. Overall, would love to come back.

    The outdoor space is really nice. We came to see if we could possible host a party here. There was party/gathering when we got there. They were towards the back and had rope barrier up. We had basic appetizers, just chicken wings and calamari. Both were ok. We'd like to come back when there's a live band and DJ.

    Brussel Sprouts
    Chris N.

    Spectacular views of the Bay and a DJ spinning 90s to 2000s music on Fridays and Saturdays. Food was decent but not outstanding. The Brussels Sprouts were a little overcooked but had a really nice glaze. My chicken sandwich was a little undercooked in some areas. One caution is that they charge tons of fees on its final bill but definitely worth coming here if you're into some nightlife with some music and some great drinks.

    This was my first time coming to the Study Hall Rooftop which it has been on my list of places to try for awhile. I can honestly say I really loved this place. When I arrived it was alittle confusing because everyone kept saying I needed a key card to get to the rooftop..which I didn't. I walked in and they do have a hostess ready to seat you. They have a live DJ which I thought was super cool! I ordered the Waygu burger that was super delicious! My friend had a BBQ chicken flatbread which was also delicious. They have a wonderful selection of beers & cocktails too. I am definitely putting this place on my list for a place to grab a bite & drinks.

    Fun place. Bigger than it first appears. Diverse crowd. Liked the music and my mushroom tacos. The Pinot noir by the glass at $14 was great. Very good selection of other wines by the glass. Sports bar inside -- I sat on patio. The cursed Dodgers won but in the offseason they had snagged Ohtani. Can't believe that all those Cal people cheered for LA. Smdh. Lest I forget the BBQ chicken flatbread. Great flavor, texture, and value. Would return. Check it out. -- workingman's gourmand

    I've been to this place several times, and I'll definitely come back again. Everything from the drinks and prices to the staff and atmosphere is always reasonable and nice!

    Wagyu Burger (double patties)
    Gina G.

    Heading to the Greek Theatre for a show with my dad, we wanted to try a new spot outside of our typical Shattuck food & bevvie locales. After hearing about Study Hall Rooftop and seeing a few great social campaigns, we decided to give it a try since it's not only close to the venue, but checked all the boxes we were looking for. Convenience, great drink menu, yummy food, epic views, and local brews. We needed a new father/daughter picture and Study Hall provided that for us for the perfect Berkeley backdrop. Yuki was such a fun server, full of smiles and a great time. The crowd was starting to pick up while we enjoyed a few rounds, an order of Brussels and the burger. The Brussels were delicious and made just how I enjoy them ~ thinly-shaved and toasted. These came with peanuts, a sweet soy glaze, and topped with Fresno chilis. The burger was done just right too ~ double Wagyu patties with a delicious garlic aioli you could bottle up. Nicely done. While we were leaving to jet set into our night of music, we noticed a DJ setting up. Such a great space and place for a fun happy hour meet up, date night, for groups, or just a solo ride. Can't wait for round two when the weather gets a tad bit less wet!

    Ok this is now my second time going here in two years and was excited to finally try the food until I realized there was a menu switch. I went here with my bf and hyped up everything about the place from the view to the food. There were only about 6 ppl in here when we went and we didn't get asked to be seated by the window? Why ? I do not know. But if part of the appeal about your establishment is the view would you want me to be seated there? Especially if there are many empty window seats available? I digress. I go over the menu to look for some of the food items I've seen over the years like the shrimp tacos which are null & void. I needed up ordering the Mahi tacos. My boyfriend ordered the chicken sandwich. When the food arrived the presentation was a 10/10! However, the taste was not. The Mahi tacos were all fish and a sprinkle of pico, sour cream, & guacamole sauce. My bf. Chicken sandwich had little to no flavor to it and they only gave him a handful of fries. The service overall was good. Our server was really nice but the food was very mid.

    Brussel sprouts, Honey Spritz and Try Your Luck
    Jean C.

    So, this was awesome. We arrived at 4:30 pm when they opened cause I didn't have a reservation. We were sat outside on a beautiful summer day. The hostess was really sweet. Our server was awesome. He made great suggestions and checked on us at the right times. We had the Brussels sprouts and the damage and we finished all of it. So freaking good! The cocktails are pricey but good. My hubby did Try Your Luck twice, in which the bartender picks a beer and a shot. Both combos were awesome. We learned about a new cognac and a new tequila. The Tequila selection is impressive. That view is so good. There was some live music. It just felt romantic.

    Study Hall Rooftop Lounge Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Study Hall Rooftop Lounge

    Is there a Happy hour for drinks and a Happy hour bar menu?

    There's definitely a Happy Hour for food snacks which are amazing! I didn't see a Happy Hour drink menu though.

    Can I get my pet dog here if we reserve outdoor seating for dinner?

    I've seen 1-2 people with dogs in the outdoor seating area I would say call just to be safe because I don't want to steer you wrong

    Are kids allowed?

    Yes, it's a restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor views. There was a young boy with his dad at the table next to us in the outdoor deck area. Probably not the best pick, though, for toddlers or kids who tend to run around a lot.

    Can you study here while getting a drink or is it only restaurant drinking vibes?

    I've seen people here with laptops and books, especially before 9 or 10PM.

    Hey there - can someone please advise on the demographic of this bar? Students? 30-40? 40+? Thanks!

    It depends on the time of the evening, Older crowd earlier. Younger later.

    Do you have any vegan options?

I had a White Cosmo, RB had an Espresso Martini, and we had some sparkles. The drinks were all good. Our server was lovely, but it does seem they could hire more help, this is a happening place. Relaxing and intimate vibe, and a nice crowd. We will return next time we're in Downtown Oakland.
