Battle of the Best: What Are Your Favorite Pubs in Berkeley?

Sometimes an evening of casual drinking needs to be exactly that — casual. Across the pond, the British have been treating pubs as extended living rooms for centuries, with more than 50,000 dotted around the U.K. today. 

Here in Berkeley, we too enjoy the tradition of a mid-afternoon pint, a friendly rendezvous after work, or an evening of casual drinking in our flip flops and T-shirts without judgement. Pubs are a place to hang with the locals and make yourself at home.

Comfort food, wine and beer, perhaps a pool table or a dart board, wooden beams and the smell of old ale... Where can you find that traditional pub atmosphere in Berkeley?

Perhaps or is your "local"? Maybe the or Bears Lair have the ambiance you look for in a pub? What about the or maybe even ?
