Nice neighborhood bar. I would go back.

A decent dive type bar that has been around for a long time. Clean and spacious.

One of the last true dive bars left in Denver. The drinks are cheap. They have jello shots and karaoke. That's all you really need to know.

Friendly server as you walk in to a.clean well priced spot. Been here for a minute and has always been a nice little watering hole

Terrible service, you have to be aggressive to get served. the karaoke on Thursday is very hands off.. not personal heres a qr code and a tip jar online. And I have dives I regularly love. Not this one I guess. EDIT -the response speaks for itself lol. and no disagreement on the patio although there were some unagreeable patrons I felt uncomfortable around out there later.. i was ready for the same drink standing there alone and up there never approached or asked before the other 3 you went up to, and how can you tell if someone is ready or not that doesn't make any sense? its not like you have menus. He used to live in the hood and that's why he likes it nothing to do with you lol don't worry I'm not planning on trying your place ever again

I used to work at the Berkeley so I was amazed at the changes made. It was so much brighter inside and the bar chairs instead of the old bar stools looked good. They have cute little hooks to hang your purse off the bar by legs. It looked great and the bartender was great too! For being around 2pm it was quiet but comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that there is karaoke two nights a week and a live band on Sunday. It was amazing!

The perfect dive bar, all. They get great live music in house. They have pool tables, golf games, a cool patio, and the regulars and staff are both welcoming. We usually go here to play pool or do karaoke, but don't forget they also have the NFL Sunday Ticket too, so you can watch your game with elbow room and space. Tarin and Mary are both attentive and efficient bartenders. They have treated my wife and I great since we first walked in. I also just found out that this place just won the Westword award for Best Dive Bar in Denver for 2022. Met Andrew, the owner, right after and he is great too. They will make you pizza if you need it, but just hit a dinner place on Tennyson (great street) and then hit up this place for the remainder of your evening. Love, love, love this place. You will too.

"NEXT" VISIT (with 100 in between):
I feel I need to update this review to pound my point home. This IS the best dive bar in Denver. No food, so don't ask for it. Dive bar. Pool table, great staff, GTee, Karaoke, live music, great owner (Andrew), back door for smokers, and they now even own the ultimate in dive bar lore. An Adjective-Animal bar in the Fainting Goat. New location. Both locations offer great outside after-shot venues. Downtown is always cool, of course. Tennyson is such a cool street, Mary served us today and was awesome, and Alyssa is awesome in her own rite. Alyssa greets regulars like family, and we always appreciate it. Andrew got some new pool sticks, so sharks like me can be better, jukebox works, but you will still have people on their couch changing the songs...technology. I haven't been to the Fainting Goat since I worked down the street, but I assume Andrew either ramped up the menu, or didn't diminish it. I remember the burger being WELL above par. If you are local and haven't been either place, then you are missing out. If you are visiting and haven't put either place in the itinerary, then you are missing out. Definitely recommend and see you there (actually, you probably might). Oh, and if you run into this guy playing pool, or me, you probably will lose (we actually played that whole game with crutches). Or, just put us on your team would be the easier route to happiness.

I went to Berkeley Inn on a Saturday night for the first time and had a blast! They have a great divey atmosphere, inexpensive drinks, and a really nice staff. There's pool and video golf in the back, plus karaoke going on (at least on saturdays). Note that they are starting a 3% service charge on cards in August (edited per comment) if that's an issue for you.
