Cask has a great selection. This is an excellent spot to pick up a bottle of something special.

Was in Berkeley to visit a friend for the day, and she alerted my husband and I just as we drove in that it was her boyfriend’s birthday that day. We drove by Cask at the same time and decided to stop in and grab some beers for an impromptu celebration.
The had an excellent selection of both beer and liquor, and a beautiful layout. There was a great variety of local brews, we had no problem picking out several! They were enjoyed by everyone and we gained some new favorites.
The man at the register asked if we needed any help, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would stop by again if in Berkeley!

LOVE this place. It’s my go-​to for gift shopping — they have every type of booze imaginable, plus great random gift ideas (including cocktail extras and affordable tasting kits for fancy liquors). Plus the folks who work here are very knowledgeable, so they can help you find just the right thing if you’re not sure what you’re looking for.

Super friendly and knowledgable. Look out for the mini beer/​liquor tastings they often host. Also, if you’re a sour beer enthusiast, check out the new fridge solely dedicated to sours!

If you’re looking for a nice rare whiskey — this is the place! Love this spot!

Impressive depth of inventory, especially given the small size and uncluttered look of the store. I had to choose between THREE nocinos! How amazing is that?
Add to that the friendly staff and the fact that they stock every single favorite booze and mixer I like, and what could I complain about? Decent prices too!

Decent selection of some good, limited liquors. I don’t drink wine so I can’t speak on it. The prices seem to be comparable to most other liquor stores, but you can find different things. I came in to buy mezcal, of which I knew nothing about and hate the flavor. The woman who helped seemed very knowledgeable and was a huge help. Thanks.

after getting a nice dinner I was in a mad craze for a cigar. Unilocal search came up with no decent cigar shops in the area. The waitress at wood tavern recommended we visit the Cask. The cask host many different types of liquor’s but they ALSO HAVE A MEAN SMALL HUMIDOR. The humidor has several decent brand cigars at great prices. The humidor is well maintained, so the cigars are in excellent condition. Great customer service. Very nice store to visit and make sure you roam all the isles.

Cask has a small bar to the right side as u enter. sign posted to the left of same are the beer availability and pricing. stool sitting only.
lots of wines, hard liquor, and microbrews offered. most microbrews i’ve never seen before. shelfing is warehouse style. nothing fancy. some items not priced (elixirs, juices)
buys: drake’s drakonic (6.99)
–pricing seems reasonable
on draught:
–microbrews mostly high
not sure what price reasonable.
–friendly checkout, good service
–lots of spirits to choose from.

Dropped in for Christmas gifts. The woman helping me was able to give useful suggestions on several items so I could pull together a cohesive gift. She was conscientious about pricing vs value vs what’s simply interesting and worth trying. She helped me through the onset of her migraine, which was more than she needed to do (I could have come back).
Expensive selection, but most are small-​batch.

Cask has a great selection of liquor, beer, wine, and some stuff that might not be readily available at your local grocer. It’s a really cool place with a good, simple vibe. Most of the staff is really great. Even the employees that don’t give a particularly warm vibe are still helpful.
I’ve subtracted 1 star here because they close at 9pm on Fridays & Saturdays. Too early for many that work into the evening and want to have some people over. Not having this lovely place as an option when I get off at say, 10pm on a Friday and want to entertain, is a massive bummer.

I hadn’t realized this place existed, right at the top end of the Oakland section of College, just over into the Berkeley border. It’s a little bit hipster with the selection of single malts and selection of wines, but they have a pretty cool range of beers too.
Probably if I was looking for an unusual beer, I’d be looking in the fridge across the road in Trappist Provisions, but Cask does have a nice range of above average «usual suspects» for beer, as well as some more unusual bottles. I’m sure I’ll come back, just don’t know when.

At long, long last we have a Cask in the East Bay. Very knowledgeable staff and it is stocked with an extensive range of the more interesting premium spirits, beer and wine. Whiskey is king, of course.
