A loud, rowdy, tacky college bar that serves inexpensive beer and not much else. It’s packed on most evenings during the school year. The music is way too loud, making it necessary to scream at everyone you’re speaking to.

What a great concept, a pub on campus, complete with house brews! Didn't eat there, but stopped in for a couple of pints in the afternoon. Good beer, good spot to chill out while the significant other hits the stores down Telegraph Avenue. Will make this a regular stop whenever we come to Berkeley.

I really like this place...but know what to expect

This is your basic college sports bar and as such is wonderful. I love to go here and watch basketball games in a relaxed atmosphere (even if I am the only Black girl in the room)... The pizza is great the service is average the sports atmosphere is THE BEST!!! These are the people who start the chants at the games!

fun campus bar

The Profile Page for this restaurant is brought to you by the DiningGuide.com service. The Bears Lair is located in Berkeley.

The epicenter of campus social life, the Bear's Lair may be the quintessential college hangout, but it's more than comfortable for faculty, staff, and visiting alumni as well. Depending on the day, folks will gather around the fireplace or the big screen TVs – on game days, you can guess which. Forty taps offer beers for every taste, from Bud Light to Guinness, and there are awesome brick oven...
