“House drinks are at 5.50 and they are pet friendly inside.”

We came here based off reviews, yes the workers do smile, happy to be there. Great bites, wonderful drinks. Perfect place to enjoy a new band. #thegoodloves 3 great friends writing and singing together. ❤️ Play-doh!! Built and leave your creation behind.

Legendary local dive for great bar food, live music, and some of the city’s most interesting company. One of the few places in the area that make you feel like people care if you play in a local band. Audience is receptive and involved and listens with an impartial ear. Staff is friendly and warm and the setting, featuring local art and kitch, is one of a kind in this ever evolving realm of boring gray, overpriced cocktail bars and brewery’s. If you’re seeking authenticity, warts and all, this is the spot

My first time here! Fun going to a legendary Raleigh spot as a new(er)comer. Service was fantastic. The burger might be my favorite in Raleigh now! Great vibes except the one weird dude at the bar yelling about how the youths don’t understand things. (Spoiler: he didn’t understand the things he was yelling about.) Looking forward to coming again!

Always enjoy the Berkeley. I miss the old location but the new location will do just fine. Alex is always friendly and helpful. Bartenders were super busy as it was Hopscotch, but they still managed good service. Mostly usually there for music and drinks... so no food review, but the food always looks great and everybody says it's great. Good drink prices. Good selection of beer.
