The Monk's Kettle
T

he Monk's Kettle is the kind of neighborhood tavern every neighborhood wishes it had — and Rockridge is lucky to have it. Voted Best Beer Bar in California, this from-scratch gastropub pairs a deep, balanced craft beer list (with a serious love for Belgian brews) with upscale pub fare that's earned national nods for its burgers and chicken sandwiches. The kitchen leans seasonal, the beer staff knows what they're talking about, and the back deck is the kind of place an hour disappears before you notice.
