What a totally rad spot! Headlands has done it again, and now offers another great taproom to enjoy their awesome beers. 5/5 stars for food, drinks, service, and ambience. A HUGE improvement from the Bear’s Lair. Need another reason to come support this awesome business? Our bartender informed us that Headlands has donated over $130,000 to local environmental non-profits since 2022. Wow!

It’s high time Berkeley gets its true, authentic Cal bar on campus, beyond convenient for pregaming ANY Golden Bears sporting event or watching away games! Big TVs inside and outside on the patio, excellent food and a glorious selection of beer, plus a full bar! Any student, alum, tourist, or fan is going to marvel at all the special touches, from bar stool spots dedicated to famous, important, or surprising Cal alums, bobblehead brew taps, and lots of blue and gold love throughout. I cant wait to frequent this place and show it off to all my Bears-loving friends and family!

I went to Headlands on Campus for the CAL football season opener against osu. What a great place. The Outside beer garden is a perfect place to watch an away game with other CAL fans. The place honors CAL sports heroes from the past with seat plaques and there are CAL easter eggs all over the place. Food was good and Headlands makes great beer. Highly recommend!!!

Great spot on campus! Brings back the magic that’s been missing since Bear’s Lair went away. Great spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to order at the bar or via QR code. Excellent for groups. Lots of beer on tap + full bar and good food options.

Awesome place. Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. The beers and cider was delicious. If I lived locally I’d be here every night. Adam was amazing and helped out with drink advice and made us feel like we were in a mates living room. Wish we had a bar like this in the South Bay.

I visited this newly opened spot for lunch on Thursday and had a great experience! The service was friendly and attentive, food served hot and quickly, and the outdoor back patio was very comfortable and relaxing. My colleagues and I walked away satisfied and will be happy to return. Highly recommend the chicken sandwich with seasoned fries.

Glad to see the Bears Lair legacy live on. Food is solid and they have plenty of taps. Great outdoor space with a massive indoor TV and outdoor TV setup to watch games.

Great new spot for causal beer and food right at the edge of UCB campus. Very convenient stop to refresh, especially for bicyclists crisscrossing the berkeley hills.

Great beer at a beautiful bar! The staff said they’re wanting to start running trivia nights, movie nights, etc. which I think will be super fun. So cool to have this place right on the Berkeley campus!

Nothing will ever replace the OG Bears Lair, but Headlands is making space for new memories. Great food and great beer (including Bear Republic’s Oski’s California Gold) and a healthy respect for tradition in the design (see plaques at the bar honoring Cal greats, like Marshawn Lynch, Mark Bingham, and Julia Morgan). Go Bears.
