Kip’s Bar Upstairs at 2439 Durant Ave./Telegraph Ave., (510)
848-4340; www.kipsberkeley.com. L Tu-F, D
daily, Sat-SunBr; $. No
reservations. Long popular with Cal students
interested in eating and drinking while playing
pool and dancing and watching sports TV, this campus classic has updated its
decor and menu. A large open room with
exposed pipes running casually along the ceiling now holds dark wood tables that
provide a more muted feel, but it still says American roadhouse. The new menu includes items such as spinach
salad with figs and blue cheese, chicken-and-waffle sliders, and a basket of
fish & chips. The house cheeseburger
is made with fresh angus beef and served on a ciabatta roll with sautéed onions
and secret sauce. It is big, messy, and
delicious. A full bar serves up 22 beers
on tap. Well drinks are $3 during Happy
Hour (M-F 4-7pm), and bottomless mimosas are $10 at Saturday and Sunday brunch.
