Made my first trip to Berkeley to watch Cal play football. This sports bar was the highlight of the pregame festivities. It was packed with Cal and Clemson fans. The bar was checking ID's at the entrance so a small line formed outside. Nothing excessive. This bar is a must visit for anyone going to Memorial stadium. It feels bigger than it is. Wooden booths and lots of tables. Patio seating looked nice. Ordering at the bar took a bit of time but most of it was people not knowing what they wanted or having to get their friend to prove the second beer they were ordering was for a 21 or older friend. Didn't get a chance to order food but from the pics posted it looks good. I could have stayed here all night. People watching was pretty fun. My buddy and I had a great time. read more

Went to Raleigh's Pub before a show at the Greek, and probably stumbled upon the best deal for steak frites and veggies for $15! The steak with the cream pepper sauce was so enjoyable and with every bite I was saying to myself, how is this only $15. Good amount of meat, generous portion of fries, and asparagus. If I lived closer, I'd probably eat this everyday with no shame. We also got an order of their lemon pepper wings, and these were really good as well. Decent sized wings, dry rub, with a ton of flavor. Simple and flavorful. It was a Friday night, and when we arrived, it was busy and we grabbed a seat at the bar. After a few minutes, we realized that we had to get in line and order. They make all the drinks to order so that took some time to get through the line but once our order was placed, the food came out pretty quick. The menu is reasonably priced all around. The space is large inside and outside so definitely good for groups. Definitely will be back next month when we go to another show just for the steak frites and wings. read more

Good place to get drinks! Good music and decent food too! I had so much fun in the dance floor!

This place is huuuge! There are at least 3 different spaces, a somewhat outdoor sitting area in the back and little "fireplaces" around, which is pretty cool. As you'd imagine of a bar near a college, it's pretty wild and normally full of youngsters. Expect more of a youth culture, this includes people that don't know how to behave when being drunk. read more

Moved my kiddo into UC Berkley and we needed to catch a World Cup game so I looked up sports bars. Glad I chose Raleigh's pub. The wings and food was delicious. TVs all around. The energy of the crowd was awesome. They had a variety of beer and cocktails. Service was quick. We had a great time! Will be back again when I visit my kiddo. read more

I tried their salad, steak frites, and the wings here. Everything was so delicious! The wings were super juicy and the sauce was perfectly balanced. The salad had fresh veggies and lots of protein on top. I loved the thick cuts of steak in the steak frites. I enjoyed eating outdoors in the fresh air and really enjoyed the outdoor seating option. My favorite thing I ordered from here were the wings. read more

I recommend this place to 10/10 people! It is super fun and hip with delicious drinks, great food, and games! If any of you are fans of corn hole or bocce ball this hidden gem has it.

Raleigh's Pub - Long Island iced tea - American Near Me - Berkeley, California

A Berkeley staple! Raleigh's is definitely a go-to spot in Berkeley both during the day and night. It's a nice spot to grab a tasty and affordable bite to eat. The portions are large! The nachos are an all-time tasty fav. The drink prices are a bit high but are definitely tasty and strong! There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The inside area can get busy to the point where it's difficult to move so I recommend eating outside. One of the outdoor patios is shared with the neighboring business, Mezzo's and is not 21+. The second patio is 21+ and features another bar, tables, TVs, bocce ball, and corn hole. The vibes are very reminiscent of a beer garden. The service is pretty good too! The bartenders are very nice and quick. If you order food, they'll give you a number and bring it out whenever it's ready. Even when it's busy, the servers don't seem to have trouble finding you. Raleigh's is the place to be on Taco Tuesdays. It's the first stop in the Berkeley area bar rotation. You'll find cheap tacos and margaritas (don't expect taco truck quality food though). Be sure to get there early in the evening because it gets packed! read more

I decided to try out Raleigh's for lunch after seeing a video online raving about their spicy chicken Caesar wrap. The setting is very casual--you order at the bar, and they bring the food to your table. Overall, the food was just okay. We got the fries, which were pretty standard, but the chipotle sauce helped elevate them. My mom and sister ordered the Brussels sprouts and chicken wings; they really enjoyed the wings but weren't fans of the sprouts, which were undercooked. The chicken Caesar wrap was definitely the highlight--it had good flavor and lived up to the hype. Mid food and mid vibes. Probably won't be returning. read more

Raleigh's Pub is such a sweet find. If you're a fan of Mezzo in Berkeley, you may know about this spot already since their backyard space is right next door..but if you're still reading this and looking for an outdoor spot to meet friends and enjoy the weather, a brew, and some yummy pub grub, this is for sure a fun one. Our group ordered a burger and fries, nachos, and brews..all incredibly solid. Juicy meat, crunchy fries, all the dipping sauces, and honestly..I'm always a fan of pub nachos and these were nicely executed. The interior is perfect to get cozy for a game or two, and there's also an even more cozy interior fire pit/spot to get warm. Lotsa foot traffic for CAL events and holidays, we somehow have been here the last few Paddy days (I think they still do green beer?). Regardless give it a go if you're in the mood to wind down or up. Fair pricing, fun food menu and people, and just a good time. There is a garage close-by we usually park in bc street parking is most likely a no-go, although we've been lucky a feeeew times! read more

Love a good happy hour and this place had $6 happy hour wine! That's right up my alley :) I got their sangria and it was delish. They have a really cute back patio area that's vibey with the plants, natural light, and also cute twinkle lights. I haven't tried their food, but I did get a sandwich at Mezzo which is connected next door and that good! Decent price for a large sando. read more

Raleigh's Pub - Happy hour $6 wine and sangria - American Near Me - Berkeley, California

Great food, good, to the point service. Don't get me wrong the service here is great, but it's a pub grub type of place and they serve you without bugging you. Everything here is tasty with burgers, sandwiches, sliders , salads and more, including a wide brew selection. If you're around UC Berkeley, try this and avoid the touristy dives. This one's for real. read more

After this night, I felt truly old seeing all the college students... Awesome hangout spot for all the CAL bears especially for game nights and those staying in the city that needs a drink and some grub. Not sure if it is because it is a college town but the food and drinks were all reasonably priced. Nachos / ceviche / 3 drinks came out to 50 bucks which is basically 2 drinks in a regular bar now-a-days Nachos can feed about 4-6 people which we learned as we had 4 different nachos hit our table, plenty of protein and good stuff. Wings are better than your neighborhood Buffalo Wild Wings! Parking - Street parking though I would go down just a little down to the residential for free parking. read more

Was on a visit to Berkeley and we stopped by for lunch. The selection of beer is great. The staff has a good energy level. We had pizza, burgers and salad. The pizza was a bit dry, the burgers were great and the salad was OK. Overall a great oasis to stop by for lunch, dinner or hangout. read more

The service is normally amazing!! I have loved coming here in the past which brings me to write this horrible review unfortunately. This evening I came across the bouncer Carlos, who decided that my ID was fake and decided to pocket it and send my friend and I outside while it was freezing cold and we had no sweaters. My ID was a REAL ID that I of course use to fly domestically. I have been served in the past at this bar and multiple others, because I am im fact 21. In order to get my ID back I had to call Berkeley PD to get it back and to tell him that it was real (which I already knew). read more

The chicken wings were terrible and the food was okay like 3.5 out of 5 . The sitting area was cool!

Sold 3 stars but I added an extra for nostalgia. I remember when this pub opened, was sad when it burned and happy with its resurrection. If you're looking for a fun spot with a great outdoor beer garden this is your spot. Great local beer selection, decent pub food. I am a sucker for nachos and they do them well. Skip the wine stick to beer. GO BEARS! read more

Fun pub with great food with huge TVs for watching football. Salads and sandwiches were delicious with fresh ingredients.

Everything here is amazing. The service, ambiance and food. It was my first time here this past weekend and I'm so happy I came in! The lavender hard kombucha is really good. For apps we got nachos with chicken (also ask for the spicy aioli that they give for the fries), buffalo cauliflower wings, and birria tacos. The nachos were AMAZING. The buffalo wings were also reallyyyy good, and the birria tacos are extremely flavorful. If you had to chose one thing to get I would 100% recommend the nachos. The portions are big (great for a big group) and the price is great! read more

Don't get the lemon pepper they salt them to the max !!! The only reason they get a five star is for the amount of chicken wings. They're lucky I wasn't picky about it being too salty because it was crazy salty however nextime I'll just try something else read more

Ambiance: There is inside and door seating both are built very comfortably and warm. The outside seating is super aesthetic, especially at night as they have string lights hung up. There is a lot of seating options so regardless of your party size you will definitely find a table there. Service: the service was super nice and it seems like they also celebrate 21st birthdays very well as we saw a group of girls celebrating their 21st birthday and they were allowed to be on top of the bar table for their first drink as per their request, which I'm sure made it memorable for them. Food: the chicken wings were super crispy and the sauce was heaven! It tasted like sweet and sour sauce and dipping it with the ranch was just the perfect combination. I would definitely recommend this place read more

This place is such a vibe. Came here for a happy hour networking event after work. They have a great outdoor area with reasonably priced food and good drinks. We ordered the wings the cauliflower, the onion rings, pizza, stuff like that for people to eat. The pizza was surprisingly good but their pizza oven broke like halfway through the night. read more

Cute place in Oakland!! When you enter, you scan a QR code to see the menu and order at the bar. Both bartenders were busy but nice, and took our orders relatively quickly. I ordered the Raleigh's house burger (add avocado) with a side of onion rings. I was surprised that it wasn't too expensive- $16ish for the whole shabang (including the add avo). The burger came out on a brioche bun and was pretty large. My party needed a knife to cut in half! The burger was tasty, but nothing super noteworthy. They did not skimp on the avocado addition either; definitely a full half avocado was on there. The sides were also decently sized! The outdoor seating was SO CUTE... honestly had a great experience here, will be back. :) read more

As I get older, I'm starting to realize that being around large groups of people just isn't my cup of tea. I love people and I'm very social, but being in places with too many people is like sensory overload for me. BUT... college bars are where I bend the rules sometimes. Of course, it's dependent on the bar and my mood. Raleigh's Pub is one of those college bars that doesn't feel like a hipster joint. It's filled with hipsters, but what I adore about this bar is that they have patrons from all walks of life. It's diverse and low key. A great spot to chill at with friends, for casual dates, or even on a solo tip. Since it's a college bar, you'll get to reap the benefits of college prices. Very affordable but not at the expense of quality (at least where the drinks are concerned). They've got a huge open back patio space which is the main attraction, especially when the weather is warm. But inside has its' cozy charm too. They have a ton of beers to choose from and options for the non-brew lovers as well. Lots of TV's for your sports viewing pleasure. The food isn't anything special but it's good. Expect your typical American bar food. I had a blue cheeseburger during my last visit, and it was overcooked but the flavor was still good. Don't come here thinking you're gonna get some gourmet cuisine. Although, you could definitely get a bomb ass salad from right next door (Raleigh's Pub is combined with Mezzo). They will card you after a certain hour when the pub becomes 21+ for the evening. Don't forgot those ID's, folks! They play a stellar mix of music here too. The restrooms are communal abs unisex (everyone shares one sink and mirror). It's very hip and modern here and I like it. Can't forget to mention that the beers are pretty tasty here too. You can purchase a beer flight to sample the goods. All in all, it's a solid spot for a relaxing hangout and a hit amongst the UC Berkeley College students and locals alike. read more

Turns out Raleigh's is the best spot to hang out at for Taco Tuesday?! With $2.50 street tacos & $6 margs AND the great ambiance, it's pretty hard to beat. They even have flavored margs like lime, mango, and strawberry. I've always loved Raleigh's because they have an extensive beer collection, games outside, and amazing onion rings. I recently discovered Taco Tuesdays and have become even more of a fan. I will say that the service is pretty slow on Tuesday since they're so busy -- some people were waiting for food for 20+ minutes and they even messed up my order a couple times. The meat is also a bit on the drier side, but I still enjoyed my food + margs and time there! read more

Great place & definitely a regular attendee but this past week I was burned by the horribly placed fire pit inside the building. Lines were insane to get a drink and I was shoved into it resulting in a bad burn. Makes me a bit scared, not going to lie!

Great college beer bar with a gorgeous back area. There's usually plenty of space for larger groups, and they have a very expansive beer menu. The "share" foods are really good -- my friends and I have tried the fries, onion rings, buffalo cauliflower, loaded nachos, and chips and guac; all of those were tasty with large portions. The burger was decent but forgettable, which is alright--I don't think I would go to Raleigh's for the food, but I would definitely go for a drink. It's the perfect spot for a happy hour, and the staff is very friendly (I once accidentally left my bag there, and they had tucked it away with a note for me when I came back to get it the next day). It's quintessential Berkeley, and always a winner with groups! read more

Whenever I'm in Berkeley, it's like I have to stop here lol. I love the ambiance. It does have a young, hip crowd. I love the insider firepit and the bleacher-style seating. I love that people can bring pups inside. It's just the epitome of chill. I've had the burger, BLT, chicken sando, and tacos....all OUTSTANDING. I wouldn't think for a pub that the food would be that good!! It's really affordable too compared to other places on Telegraph! The bartenders are dope! read more

Went in on a Friday evening just before 6pm. Made it just in time to get happy hour prices. I sat at the bar and it was just starting to get busy. Considering the amount of customers going to the bar to order drinks, the bartenders were doing a great job of getting to everyone. I noticed a few customers having a hard time flagging down someone to place their orders. The place was not too loud considering it is down the street from the Cal campus. Perhaps I was there early and the place wasn't too crowded yet. I ordered two tacos. They were out of the birria tacos so I ordered 1 carne asada and 1 carnitas. This was my first time having the tacos here and they were actually pretty descent. The flavors of the meats were great. The carnitas were juicy and tender. Just mouth watering. The carne asada had a good texture and flavor as well. The pico de gallo was okay. Not quite authentic Mexican tacos but still good. The green salsa that comes on the side had a very homemade flavor. For the price and quality, these tacos are worth having. read more

My favorite go-to for nachos, and they're quite generous with the jalapenos. The place next door (Mezzo) always has a line, for those with healthier inclinations. Not me. Beer me. They have Allegash on tap, lots of other choices, and quick served bar food. I've never ventured out back before, but what a fabulous space for groups! I watched an Eagles-Niners playoff game here a couple years ago, and the atmosphere was fun, not nasty (I was wearing Eagles gear). There's a small premix selection of cocktails, but I'm not sure why they bother. There's a beer for all tastes available. read more

Most restaurants around this pub are closed on Mondays, so we came here for a post-grad luncheon. This spot has lots of open indoor and outdoor seating. The seating area ranges from booths for more privacy to long tables with benches for larger team/family gatherings. We sat for a few minutes until we realized the QR code on the tables was for the menu only. We had to order drinks and food at the bar. The bar area was filled with people, and we were passed up twice prior to getting help. This young lady saw what happened and immediately came over with a smile and apologized while asking what we wanted to order. After that she made sure to prioritize our order, so we made sure to thank her by handing her an additional cash tip for looking out for us. I had the Raleigh's House Burger with blue cheese. I honestly ate it in a few bites. YES-- it was that good! read more

Cocktail was pretty good and standard, but the service needs a lot of improving... The server snatched the machine out of my hands when I was mid-signing because I pressed 0 tip!
