“ Never thought I would be giving a divey bar a 5 star review, but here we are. Went to Kingfish for the first time recently and had the best experience ever. Our Bartender Louis was amazing. He was so friendly, made great drinks, and just made it such a fun relaxed environment. I hope all traffic lights are green for him and his pillow is cold on both sides. My friends and I will definitely be back specifically because of Louis and how much fun we had for our first visit. ”
“ Chill dive bar. Ran into everyone from HS. It feels like college again except it's mostly UC Berkeley kids lol. They offer free popcorn. Their bartenders get busy but it was fun ”
“ A classic. Cheap beer, free popcorn, timely service, and a cool vibe. Never been in such an interesting, cavernous spot. ”
“ hella heads, fein fein fein!! fein! FEIN FEIN FEIN!!! wish the hockey jersey wasn't over $100 - in this economy????? bffr. ”
“ Basically the same place it's always been! The drinks are always cheap and it impossible to understand when there's going to a crowd. ”
“ I came here for a friend's birthday party and I'll admit that I was a bit put off by the entrance appearance at first. When you walk in, it looks a bit dingier, but once you get to the outdoor patio and bar, the place looks really nice. We came in December, so Kingfish had even decorated and put lots of holiday lights up that made the ambience even better. The patio does a really great job of making you feel like you're inside while being outside because of the way that it's built. The service was super quick and friendly, and I tried the Paloma ($8) with tequila, grapefruit juice, squirt, lime juice and salt. The drinks were good, but pretty strong. My friend reserved the PRU (party room upstairs), which even has your own bathroom, skeeball, and a balcony with a fire pit outside. It seems like you can reserve that room for $200 for the whole night, which is a pretty good deal, and there's even the option to bring in your own food. I was impressed by the place and had lots of fun! ”
