Raleigh's Pub - Berkeley

The food was good, but the staff was extremely unfriendly. We made it clear multiple times that we didn't want any more drinks, yet they aggressively brought us the bill without warning or explanation. I will not be returning.

This is the perfect spot to celebrate in the Telegraph area! By 10 o'clock, it gets a bit cold but you can cozy up on their large terrace by the fire pit. The atmosphere is lively and fun. It can be a bit challenging to get the bartender's attention when it's busy.

This is our go-to bar in town. The outdoor patio is great for relaxing, and they have a great variety of drinks. Taco Tuesday is a highlight. The food is delicious and the wait time is usually minimal.

This place is awful. None of the staff wear masks and the bartender had a coughing fit while trying to take our order. The nachos used to be good, but now they're just disgusting. It's too bad, since they have a nice covered outdoor patio and a big beer selection. Really not worth it though.

Raleigh's is one of my favorite spots to go visit in Berkeley!It's right next to the equally great lunch spot Mezzo in the same building, so I've been to one or the other several times.During the day, I love going to Raleighs just to relax with a beer and do some work on my laptop, as they have pretty good Wi-Fi (inside it can be a bit spotty on the outdoor patio).In the evening, it's one of my favorite hangout spots to come with friends and meet new people, especially on Thursday's and Friday's! It's always a blast and there's usually someone chugging a beer on the counter to celebrate a birthday!The employees are all very fun and engaging, with activities such as the aforementioned birthday celebrations occurring almost nightly.It gets rather busy, but it's a really good space both indoors and outdoors with ample room. The patio outside is awesome and has an outdoor bar and fire pit area, although they usually close it around 10 PM. The indoor space is also very spacious and has both communal tables, booths, and other seating. There's something for everyone!I usually come for a few beers, but I've gotten the food a few times as well, and it's equally as great. I especially love the wings here the sauce is delicious!! Portions are great and the pricing is very reasonable.There's also Taco Tuesday specials on margaritas and $2 tacos!This is one of the best places to come hang out at in Berkeley and have some fun.I highly recommend Raleigh's to everyone!
