Beta Lounge

The food offering is underrated. Kudos to Rafa - keep him happy. The brussel sprouts are refreshing, short ribs sando has a welcome kick of jalapeño, and the tofu spring rolls keep me healthy. The service is dope. Although Jesse is gone, at least there are familiar faces (Zury and Dre are amazing). Keep them - they are great!

I'm really digging the locals vibe! Beta Lounge is an excellent place to kick it while enjoying a nice cocktail and some light bites. I was in the area and saw this spot in the distance. It's kind of randomly located off of Durant Ave but can be easily missed if you're not looking for it. Beta is truly a loungey little spot. I plopped myself on one of their cozy sofas in the back and didn't move from that spot for almost the entire time that I was there. Just low key and super relaxed vibes. The drinks are really tasty and the bartenders are all really chill. Nothing too fancy about the drinks here, but they're decently priced and made with love. Had a spicy marg and a Moscow mule and both were delicious sippers. They also serve food here if you have an appetite. Their food menu is mostly light bites but still pretty versatile as far as options go. Their flatbread pizza seems to be all the rave, so I decided to try one while I was there. Had the pepperoni mushroom flatbread pizza and it was good for what it was. Don't come looking for anything restaurant style; it's definitely bar food quality but still yummy nonetheless. Many of the people that were at the bar seemed to be regulars as everyone knew each other and the bartenders knew most people by name. I chatted up a couple of the regulars and they were quite friendly. Sometimes when I've popped into locals joints, I don't seem to get the friendliest reception. But I didn't get that feeling here at all. It was like everyone knew that I wasn't a regular but they were quick to say hello and embrace my presence. It made me feel instantly comfortable.I also love that this lounge serves a multitude of purpose for the people. I witnessed someone studying, another person reading, a few people watching a football game, a casual meeting amongst friends, and what looked to be a first meeting and/or date. There's no blueprint here and I love that. You come for whatever reason that suits you and there's no judgement for it. Beta also has a great looking happy hour that I need to come back for. It's just an all around laid back place for some drinks and a chill atmosphere. Glad that I came upon this spot and excited to come back again.

We went here to celebrate a birthday for a friend! Was very cute and comfortable place!Great meal menu! Big enough to fill you up, but small enough to not make you feel stuffed!The service was awesomeness! They even gave my friend a birthday drink at no cost!!! Indoor and outdoor seating!Street parking!Clean restrooms!

This is a great local place when you're looking for a more chill vibe. Good drinks food and the staff is cool.

Beta Lounge is an approximate name for a generic bar, generic food at generic pricing.offerings: happy hour, beers, cocktails, falafel wrap, burrito, gyro, focaccia pizza/panini.eats: greek gyro (7) with chips & salsa.-good size lavash pita with fresh tasting meats, veggies, white sauce-chips & salsa the commercial kind. -all food preps probably came from a wholesale warehouse3.5 stars for reasonable pricing. great for students......

Beta is such an industry classic. I love everything about it from the ambiance, location, drinks, food and of course the amazing service. Jesse, Sam and Dre are the epitome of amazing, accommodating bartenders. If they're not too busy you might just get lucky enough and ask them to make you something special. I'm annoying so I definitely tend to do that. Whether the drink is on or off menu, its always delicious. Super fairly priced. Before the pandemic, this was the first place i'd ever had a gin gimlet- bomb. This is a great place for a first date because its casual but also cute with low lighting and couches. They have outside seating if you're more comfortable with that! Sometimes they are playing sports, other times they are playing music. Let's not forget about the food! The kitchen stays open until 10 and they have a lovely menu which is also very affordable. I tried the chipotle chicken tacos and have definitely gotten them a few times since then. They are the perfect menu item for me to balance out my tequila and mescal indulging. Highly recommend.

Love the food and drinks here! The music selection is always a vibe as well. Staff is very friendly. Beta Lounge is definitely a go-to bar for me and my friends! 10 STARS!

With a party of 10 and received very poor service. We were put on the back burner and took 2 and a half hours for them to still not be done with 2 more items of food that we had to simply just ask for a refund. Staff was rude when we asked about the wait although the food was alright.

food was great but took wayy too long to get the food unfortunately. We've been here for two hours and still haven't gotten our complete food :(

Food was simple but good, service was just okay, and hard surfaces and too loud music made dinner less pleasant than it should have been. Quite acceptable for a fast bite before the show at Zellerbach, but not a destination place.
