Becketts, Berkeleys version of an authentic Pub, is famous for recreating the ambience and charm of the old Irish pubs. As you walk across cobblestone floors to the mahogany bar, the bartender and servers will take you back to a public joint in Ireland with the warm way they have of pouring pints and serving up the Irish-American fare. The selection of Beers like Guinness, Newcastle, Fat Tire; and of appetizers like Curried Mussels or Warm Crostini will get you started off right. For dinner theres a nice variety of California cuisine like the Spinach & Endive Salad, and Grilled Spicy Pork Quesadilla and hearty traditional favorites like Steak & Kidney Pie, and Bangers & Mash. Finish it off with Irish Coffee Baked Alaska, Chocolate Hangover, or work on your real hangover with the wide selection of Irish Whiskeys and Single-Malt Scotches. As the evening progresses music streams from everyone from DJs to traditional music, theres soccer or rugby on the big screen, and Becketts becomes a great place to meet family or mates.
