The Albatross Pub

If you’re ever in Berkeley you might want to go check out The Albatross. Billed as the oldest pub in Berkeley, they certainly feel it. What I like, though, is that they encourage you to play a variety of board games while you are there (or darts), have a non-stop popcorn machine that they encourage you to donate 25 cents towards when you grab a bowl, and that they serve excellently strong drinks. You can sit by the fireplace to warm up or in any of the old fashioned tables. I’ve been to the Albatross a number of times and never had a bad time!

    Yep, the Albatross is great — and the birthplace of the Northern California Rover Club. I understand you can still find a lot of rovers outside on a Friday night.

    I’ve never heard of the Rover Club and I haven’t noticed any sitting outside but then again I’ve only been there a few times and probably wasn’t paying that much attention. I take it you’ve been there a number of times?
