Step into this reimagined Berkeley pub for a menu of casual bites like burgers and oysters, served alongside cocktails and local brews in a lively atmosphere.
"Henry’s at the Graduate Hotel, formerly Hotel Durant, underwent a significant transformation when Chris Kronner took over the kitchen in 2018. Known for his near-universally praised dry-aged burgers served very salty and rare, Kronner introduced a menu featuring upscale, California-inflected dishes such as halibut tartare and a take on Parisian gnocchi. However, Kronner left in November, and the restaurant has since shifted to a more typical pub menu under chef Daniel Westfall and director of food and beverage Peter Houck." - Luke Tsai
"Chris Kronner’s Berkeley restaurant Henry’s already serves dinner, breakfast, and brunch, but starting Tuesday, January 22, it’ll add lunch to its lineup." - Janelle Bitker
"Burgers are a highlight at Chris Kronner’s follow-up to Kronnerburger, but Henry’s also serves a wide range of creative salads, small plates, and entrees befitting of a celebration. The old college pub has been totally redesigned into a bright, airy space, including the Durant Room, which can seat up to 50 people." - Janelle Bitker
"The new Bear's Lair Tavern is just the latest update to a popular Cal institution: Chris Kronner and the Tartine Folks, for example, took over game day favorite Henry's in the Hotel Durant (now the Graduate Hotel)." - Caleb Pershan
"Enter the latest incarnation of Henry's from culinary cult favorite Chris Kronner, of Oakland’s Kronnerburger fame. He’s brought in buns and bread from Tartine Bakery and a pedigreed team that includes general manager Howie Correa, from Chez Panisse, of all places. It’s perhaps the only college-town pub in America attempting to lure students with oil-cured fennel salads and coal-roasted lamb neck. Leave it to Berkeley." - Rachel Levin
