$6.50 for a post mix is outrageous.

Great food (really, really, great food), very decent drinks choices, engaging and pleasant atmosphere. Can at times be a tad noisy, but definitely not loud enough to be problematic.

Bring back the some of OG menu. We’ve been loyal Bero customers for years, but we're genuinely disappointed with the recent menu changes. The Chicken Parmi was one of the best we've ever had, and removing of “simple” things like gravy feels like a step in the wrong direction. We love the venue and the atmosphere, but the menu was a big part of why we kept coming back. Unfortunately, we've decided to look elsewhere for now. The classics are classics for a reason, the Bero is local, upscale pub (not a French restaurant). We hope you'll reconsider and bring them back. 🙏🍺🍗

Disappointed with the menu change, please bring back the parmi with stracciatella cheese! It was the best parmi I’ve ever had. We loved the venue for the food but have had to find somewhere new with a good parmi RIPP
