Raleigh's Pub

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!

this is the place to go for taco tuesdays!!!!! pull up here if you want to have a good time. in my senior year of college i pretty much came here every week. everything is cheaper on tuesdays so you can have fun without breaking the bankdrinks are great and come out quick but the ONION RINGS!!!!! my goodness these are the most flavorful and crunchy onion rings you'll ever have.seating is pretty limited and it's super crowded but that's part of the vibes and i didn't mind it too much bc my friends and i would just squeeze at the table. core memory is coming here to watch the world cup

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

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. :)

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.

I was kind of not looking forward to coming here for our work outing, which was at AxeVentures, but I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Very clean, bright, and the menu was really extensive! Food was pretty decent, affordable, and had lots of pescetarian and vegetarian options.

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!

It was very quiet, during the weekday but a great place to sit, drink and talk. Love the decor.

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.

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!
