Went to Kip's to watch G.S. WARRIORS game. Ordered Pineapple Fish bowl to share, Western burger and 5 tacos on Tuesday night. The burger came out first, 45 minutes after we ordered it. Having inquired about our drink, she admitted to forgetting to place drink order. 5 minutes later, we finally get our libation. She charges $35 for the drink, when they were on special for $25. Apparently the "special " had ended at 8pm. It was now 830. I explained that we ordered the drink well before 8 and were forced to suffer from dry mouth for way too long. Too bad, so sad. Shortly thereafter, my tacos arrived. Lots of screens, upbeat vibe, good food, and billiards are enough to return. Service and reconciliation difficult to attain.

This place may be a bit worn and unhealthy, but we got into town late on a Wed night and hadn't eaten dinner and this place was perfect. A beer and a plate of fried food, quickly, plenty of places to sit, and no fuss. I had fish & chips and my wife had tatchos (a giant pile of tater tots covered in vegetarian nacho toppings). This is a large, spacious, dingy college bar with a decent menu of deep fried food, and the kitchen was open after nine. That's what we came for, and we were pleased!

A classic college bar, kinda grungy and skip the food entirely, but if you want dancing and fishbowls full of sugary alcohol this is the place to come. I will say they have an excellent selection of beers. They used to have a great wing Wednesday, but lately it’s just been going up constantly so now it’s $9 for 8 wings. Not a deal at all. Like I said, skip the food.

Way too loud to hold a conversation, even after an employee politely turned down the sound system. This was at 10 pm on a Thursday. The food was tasty.

I go to Kips every so often. It was one of the first bars in Berkeley ive been to. Delicious drinks and good bartender service. However, sometimes, it get can kinda awful. One of the security guards there took me and my friends seat, although we have been sitting in the same spot for 5 hours. A guy who knew him asked him to take it from us. He didn't even give us a reason. So... it seems some type of power hierarchy exists here. That's bad for your customers. Luckily, I didn't want to escalate it because I wanted to have a good time but just be aware.
