Henry's

“Wife & I stayed here to experience The Graduate line of hotels. Stayed there a couple of days after New Year's day, and it wasn't busy at all. The weather was rainy 🌧, but didn't hinder the overall positive experience. The lobby has a vintage feel, and the plants and decor was nice and cozy. I liked the painting of Marshawn Lynch, next to the elevators. The staff was helpful and friendly. The Henry's restaurant and pub wasn't busy. My guess was that is was raining, and it was just days after the New Year. The bartender was helpful and patient. She made a nice mocktail 🍸 . We ordered the buffalo wings and waffle fries, both of which were tasty and an adequate portion for sharing. They have several TVs 📺 to catch the sporting games. We even went the next morning for breakfast, and had breakfast burrito 🌯 and pancakes 🥞. The portions are large, and the food was enjoyable.”

“We didn’t have reservations for the night of Sarah McLaughlin’s concert, however we were sat immediately and Maria our server was wonderful! It made our experience to Berkley that much better! Great food!”

“There are a lot of one-start reviews. I didn't believe them. I was wrong. I should have. Waited 50 minutes for chips and guac. Seriously. The simplest freaking thing to get out of the kitchen, right. Burger took a good 40 minutes to come out. The front of the house is pleasant, and they seem like nice people. But the kitchen tempo is glacial.”

“Update: 1/24/2026- yeah umm super lame. Tried again, bad decision. Is there a zero star option? 6/9/2025- yeah even worse now. They have real trouble with consistency here and are very short staffed most of the time with inexperienced people (not surprising in a college town). Change the management to something more sustainable. Update: 3/6/25- after 2 years of monthly visits in 2023-2025, Henry’s continues to be on the decline. Sorry to say but the kitchen sucks. I was a Cal student and have a lot of nostalgic memories of this place, but that’s no excuse. Fire the chef! (Old review) All very standard pub food served by a very Berkeley mix of mid-lifers and students. It's a nice place to meet friends.”

“Slow service, server knew nothing about the menu, got my order wrong (wrong kind of salad). My roast beef sandwich came with a pitiful amount of what seemed like boiled meat, no au jus, and the bread was incredibly stale mixed with a wet core!”
