University of Beer
A Davis beer-lover's paradise since 2012.
Can I work from here? No — it's a 21+ bar. (The weekday "Study Hour" name is a joke; nobody's studying.)
Bring kids? Adults only — 21+.
Under $20? Doable. Beer prices are fair, and weekday Study Hour (12–5) knocks a dollar off.
UoB is a downtown Davis staple — if you're a beer enthusiast, you can't do your whole Davis run without it. The rotating tap list is enormous, the beertenders pour free samples to help you choose, and there's a dog-friendly patio.
Bring outside food (no rules against it), and time your visit for the events: trivia on Wednesdays, karaoke on Saturdays.
No kitchen — but order from sister spots Ket Mo Ree or Red 88 Noodle Bar and the food gets delivered to your table free, with plates and cutlery. Weekday "Study Hour" (12–5) is a dollar off all beers; trivia's on Wednesdays, karaoke and shot-skis on Saturdays.
Daily, afternoon–late (21+)
~100 rotating taps · Trivia (Wed) & karaoke (Sat) · Dog-friendly patio · Trying new beers (free samples)
