For someone like me on a, uh, budget -- Triple Rock is the place. A bunch of the microbrews are only $2.75 a pint, you can't beat that price. Other places in Berkeley are usually a buck more a glass. The house beers pack a whallop, too. The food isn't cheap, but you get a lot. The nacho plate can feed an army. The pub has a classic, old-style look. Comfortable. The service has been good for me.
Pros: good brews, good value
Cons: no pizza, no smoking
