Tupper & Reed

A two-level Berkeley cocktail bar features ornate gothic and storybook architecture. It’s upbeat and casual downstairs, where you can watch local sports—I’ve definitely cheered on the Warriors and Giants a few times at this spot. Daniel Sheel and DJ Mull have done a great job making this bar one of the best places to be in the East Bay! There’s live music on Thursdays with local artists and frequent events such as Southern Fried Sundays, a pop up with snacks like fried chicken sliders. It’s also one of the few Berkeley bars to have a pool table.
