WEBSITE: The Hot Tubs

REVIEWS: yelp

NOTE: My desire to avoid stagnant water and its related health issues precludes me from giving you a first person account of this joint. However, I’d like to point out a glaring discrepancy between yelp reviews and pictures on The Hot Tubs website.  Either you believe in the pretty photos (which could be stock images and/or outdated) or the online allegations of sanitation and temperature control problems. Roll the dice.

ACME BAR

2115 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley • 644 2226

Considered by many to be the best bar in Berkeley on account of the divey smoke-friendly vibe; hip, tattooed locals; good jukebox (punk, indie, metal); proximity to Lanesplitter pizza and distance from UC Berkeley students.

OPEN UNTIL: 2AM

PARKING: street
