Jupiter, Berkeley

Jupiter, Berkeley

Nestled in an 1890s livery stable in the heart of Downtown Berkeley, Jupiter is a two-story alehouse that blends history, craftsmanship, and community. Just steps from BART, this locally owned gem has been serving handcrafted ales and unforgettable experiences since 1992. Inspired by Berlin's oldest bar, its Gothic-influenced interior boasts salvaged pews from Saint John's Presbyterian, antique church lighting, metallic pressed tin walls, and a gleaming copper-topped bar framed by a massive wooden icebox.

The charm of Jupiter extends beyond its striking interior to its vibrant beer garden. Lush trumpet vines, string lights, and live music create a welcoming oasis, where guests can enjoy a variety of concerts nearly every night, featuring jazz, acoustic, funk, country, and more. This dedication to music complements a menu of artisanal pizzas, flavorful dishes, and, of course, Jupiter’s handcrafted ales—perfectly poured by knowledgeable bar staff.

Founded by John Martin, a pioneer in the craft beer movement, Jupiter remains a Berkeley hotspot over three decades later. Whether you’re savoring dinner amid the bronze-hued buzz of conversation or exploring new brews under the stars, Jupiter offers an atmosphere that feels both historic and fresh. A visit to this brewhouse is more than a meal—it’s a step into Berkeley’s rich cultural tapestry.
