Suggestions for Lounge near Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley

Tom M. • March 17, 2021Super chill, relaxed bar! A lot of people overlook this one because it's kind of nondescript and hidden from the main drag but it's one of my favorites. The owner is great too.

Josh W. • April 22, 2017Get the OMUSUBI (Japanese triangle sushi). Spicy tuna or sour plum are always good.

Tom L. • October 27, 2016Finally we have a blue bottle in Berkeley! The exterior glass wall makes the whole place looks spacious and elegant!

Thomas H. • March 24, 2018Techies, beer and fire pits. Easy times and high living in the precipice of the death of the American Experiment

Genevieve C. • March 11, 2010Their specials menu is displayed on a chalkboard on the street. It changes every few days, so check it out!
