- JJennaSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined todayFood was so good and everyone was so nice! I asked for a booth and they adjusted my reso without question and did all they could to accommodate. Only "issue" was that at times it did get a tad bit too loud (maybe due to where we were sitting, no carpet on the floor in the section I was sitting in), but that's also what made the ambiance so fun and exciting! So really no complains. I would def go back again. PS - The Cod and the Duck were super yummy! They also have homemade Kombucha!More infoRevival Bar+KitchenPrice: Expensive• Californian• Berkeley•4.4

- DDamianSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined on 2 Mar 2025I been wanting to try the StudyHall for awhile now. Indoor seating / bar area was loud but not in a uncomfortable way. They had a live DJ which was nice. The outside area was quiet. Sound proof doors blocked out the live music. I sat outside. The view was amazing only thing that probably would have been better is more view of the bay area bridges & if I would have made the sunset. The food and drinks were great. My only problem was the heat lamps. As much as I appreciate the lamps the heating areas were smaller than I anticipated. The heat lamps great for your table until a strong gust come or you happen to lean to far back. More heat lamp through out the patio area would be idealMore infoStudy Hall Rooftop LoungePrice: Moderate• Californian• Berkeley•4.2
