Kip's Restaurant

I love you

This is one of my favorite places to go for several reasons. They have a variety of beers,a dance floor, and the bartender and security staff are amazing. Things that stand out, they have sour beers which I love. The bar tender (Johnny) provided me & my peers with excellent service. I had such a nice experience that I had to ask him for his name. He makes the environment way more chill and has great vibes. He is also one of the fastest bartenders there. I haven't had a bad drink from him yet. Yes I recommend this place. And if you want to have a good time ask for Johnny!! :)

Fun atmosphere simple cocktails Simple food great place

My backgammon club meets on the second Saturday of every month. Thanks for accommodating us. I typically have the Kip Classic Burger and fries. Good burger for the price. Plenty of TV monitors to watch a variety of sports. Cozy enviromnent.

I tried to order pancakes with my fishbowl and was subject to humiliation and stern disapproval. They laughed at me and told me I am nothing but a stupid lime. Safe to say I will be ordering my midnight pancakes elsewhere.

1st time ive been here and its a collage crowd...pretty decent size and also has a 💃 floor and serves food until 10 or 11 i believe....if u arnt a student theres a $5 cover..when we came...so make aure you have you students ID or your gonna have to pay the cover

I been to this club Last tear New year Eve with my friends and me and my friend we really enjoyed and Love it ,This time we want to go to same place .

What in god's name is this place. I just really needed a drink because it was so cold lately but, damn. I feel as though they need to remodel or do something to fix it up. The other young patrons were incredibly rude, and I doubt the staff even noticed. They were too preoccupied with the other people. What gives. If you want to go to a dive bar, this okay, I guess. It's hard to find establishments I suppose in the college towns...

It's not a restaurant, it's a college kids bar, which turns into a club at night. Expect the usual frat house condition, sticky floor, long lines to dirty bathrooms. But still fun every once in a while to go and let loose.

Nice calm atmosphere in the middle of a college town

Theo and Bruna are the best bartenders ever.On that note this bar is fun. Has a photo booth. And on weekends the downstairs dance floor opens. Which is always fun. They have a great food menu which I've tried most of but my ultimate favorite is the angus hamburger and the chicken strips and the BLT with chips and salsa on the side I'll always come visit cause the bartenders make me feel at home but in a better enviroment. Is a must if u visit Berkeley. The photo represent Bruna after serving the greatest bloody Mary's I've ever had.

It was alright has a really younger crowd music was fine but because of poor air circulation it can get hot humid and musty, over all its alright if you don't mind those things. And also lots of Asians go there just thought i put that out there

Fun place !

Is good like but they closed at 1:45

Great place to get drinks with friends. A cheaper option compared to the other bars in the area. There are events happening relatively frequently. The service is good. Things do get a bit crazy though. There are often many woohs and cheers to celebrate the drinking. Especially when the fish bowls come out.

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!

The mood really sets in after around midnight. Will definitely recommend for a lively weekend night! There is one pool table at the back. Even though it was hard to make your shots because there were girls dancing in the pool table space, I enjoyed my time playing here.

Music is awesome. This places thrives on people trying to release their sexual tensions. So if thats what you wanna do, this is your heaven. No real dance happening. Too loud to talk, too small to even stand amidst grinding asses.

Either ridiculously busy or dead. Never in between. The bartenders are nice enough, drinks are priced alright compared to competition. Honestly this is usually a place a stop by between bars, usually not the main event.

Had to wait a long time for my order. Finally they let me know what was taking my order so long and they told me they were taking care of uber eats should've let me know what was taking my order so long earlier.

Very fun place. Pretty packed most of the time where you can barely move and packed dance floor. That makes it not everybody's cup of tea but it's a college bar and if that's what you are looking for its very fun. Service can be medium slow sometimes but that's not because of the service but just because the place is usually packed. Overall good staff and fun experience just depends on what you are looking for

I wish I could give Kip's a higher rating. The owner is a really nice guy. Their staff is really friendly especially if you're a regular and come in the daytime. It can be somewhat dark inside, and is located up a set of stairs, so it's not wheelchair accessible. Their food is pretty good and their prices are decent. On some nights they have karaoke or team trivia. They have a small dance floor and they play music. They've recently opened up a downstairs section that has much more space but the two locations have no connecting access point.

Perfect day drinking spot. Chilly is the best bartender, hands down. The garlic fries are garlicky and the fish bowls are huge and strong!

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.

We had a BALL! Great people great drinks, cheap tacos (shout out to Gustavo and Shaun)

Casual, chill atmosphere. Great burger, love their pico and Chipotle Sauce, karaoke nights always lit

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.

Laidback atmosphere. Dance floor, pool table. Great place to hang out at.

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.

The people are nice, the drinks are amazing and karaoke night be so lit! I love the atmosphere is casual, no entry fee but id needed. P.S. beware of those stairs! Do take your time getting up and down.

Their customer service and music is really sad. I asked the two bartenders if we could change the music and they continued to both tell me I was too intoxicated when in reality I was sober and was just irritated at the music choice. Many people left to a bar across the street due to the music. In addition to the music they operate a low quality taco shop. The food is edible.

Kip's be the spot for food, dancing, drinks, meeting new people and just straight all out fun and more!!! The bouncers there make u feel safe and the bartenders are really awesome!!!

I’m living around here. This bar is TOOO NOISY. I have been to this bar as a customer once. Bartenders are very nice and friendly to customers. I would love to go again. However, music is TOOO LOUD. I’m not able to fall in sleep until 2am because of this LOUD MUSIC! PLEASE ADJUST MUSIC VOLUME WHEN ITS MIDNIGHT.

Great place to prediction close to stadium

I began coming here as a little kid in the early 50's. I remember their awesome char-grilled burgers. The grill was out in the open area for everyone to see, it was wonderful!!! Not sure they have that grill anymore, it was great while they had it!!!

Great selection of beers. Good place to watch sports. It can get busy especially on Saturday and Sunday's.

5 stars for the bartenders. They do their best. The atmosphere is meh. The food is basic bar food. Good burgers and wings for the low. Good for last minute plans. Kitchen closes at 11.

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.

Fun place with friendly staff

Food was good but service was really slow

Ordered food to go, i paid for grilled onions on my sandwich, received none, I paid for grilled mushrooms, received none, I paid for sweet potatoe fries, I received none at all, asked for sauce on the side for my wings, they gave us the wrong sauce, we called to adress these issues and right about now it appears they are gonna do nothing about it.

The whole place needs to be fix and clean probably they need bar rescue on the show of a good remodeling and good food quality. Still a good place to good and be cool to have pool tables and dance floors and arcades. Nice they have big screen T.V. need to make it great again for more future good times to role again.

Average bar.. Enjoyed though.

Bottomless mimosa Sunday. Enough said.

Cocktails were surprisingly good. I had a really great margherita here. They have some fun games for your group to hang and play. We used it as a place to pre-game for clubbing and we enjoyed it.

Great bar in Berkeley, no complaints here!

Really nice place to go to for a fun outing of drinking , music, and great energy.

Kip's is a great place for drinks, food & sports. They have a large selection of beers & food. I visit kip's every time I'm in the area. Definitely try this place.

Pretty fun, it's got a dancefloor.

Great customer service! Way better than pappys
