Bear's Lair Pub named #24 among the top 25 sports bars in America 

The Feb. 7th edition of Sports Illustrated profiles its top 25 sports bars in America (paid registration required). Coming in at No. 24 is the Bear's Lair Pub on Lower Sproul.

Everything one could want in a bar- its own home-brewed beer, good grub and one's own stein hanging from the rafters as part of the Mug Club. Plus there's plenty of Big Game tradition. From a seat at the tables, which are the original benches from Memorial Stadium, you can stare up at the goalposts from the 2002 Big Game... that adorn the ceiling. Come in post-football or -hoops and drink with the Cal band and Oski the Bear..., who might be prevailed upon to do his trick of drinking two steins through a tube funneled through one of his eyeholes.
