Had the fish and chips here. Bland. Made me feel sick later. Should have tried the Hammy Sammy or Paul Bunyan burger as recommended by Danny Kroha. I did have a peanut butter and strawberry milkshake that was big and good, though.

Barrington Hall was a legendary bastion of radical students near the Berkely campus. It became synonymous with political activisim, unorthodox lifestyles, drug use, and supporting music.
In the eighties, "Wine Dinners" were repeatedly hosted where punch was spiked with LSD. The name of the Primus album Tales From the Punch Bowl stems from these parties.
Barrington Hall served as a locus for Bay Area punk rock, with Operation Ivy, the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, and hundreds of others playing the location.
After many successful defenses, Barrington Hall was forced to close in 1990. The USCA president stated "Barrington has a larger-than-life reputation. All across the continent, people know it as a drug den and anarchist household."

In May of 1989, Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy had purchased some beer over on Telegraph Ave and walked to the volleyball courts at this intersection. As they sat, they agreed to end the band.
As Tim Armstrong recollected: "Me and him talked about how the band wasn’t really what it was when it started. It was like a mutual thing. That’s one thing that’s not usually told, it wasn’t like he quit, it was like, ‘Yeah, we’re not really into it anymore.’”
