Bear's Lair Brewpub "...is the center of campus social life on the UC Berkeley Campus. It is where the campus community gathers to celebrate sporting events, to hear great music, to see entertaining acts and to get the best food and beverages around Cal! "The Lair" is also known as a great place to just hang out, after a rough day in academia. Lots of students and campus staff love to relax out on the patio on Lower Sproul Plaza, or inside by the fireplace, or with their buddies in a big booth. Many patrons prefer the action at the huge bar, as the student staff members pour pints & pitchers, fill up drinking "Yards", and pull down mugs for the 100 plus Mug Club members. The Bear's Lair is truly where all paths cross on campus. On a visit to The Lair you might find yourself at the bar, with an English Prof. at your right elbow and a Cal football star at your left. In the corner a "21er" party might be going on, while at the same time a DJ is spinning out on the patio to the crowd. The Bear's Lair has been known for years as the best place around campus to get a beer, beverage, and/or a pizza: and at the best price...."
