The closure of UC Berkeley's only on-campus bar, Bear's Lair, has prompted students to seek a student-run grocery store, the Berkeley Student Food Collective (BSFC), to fill the space. Despite overwhelming community support for BSFC's proposal, the university decided to lease the space to Headlands Brewing instead. The decision has sparked disappointment among students and advocates who stress that BSFC has been essential for providing affordable and healthy food options for the community. The new brewery is expected to open by August, coinciding with the return of students for the new academic year.
The food collective has been a stronghold of Cal's vibrant culture for 15 years and has been providing healthy and affordable food to students and community members alike.
Despite public support for a student-run grocery store, UC Berkeley chose to turn the former Bear's Lair bar into a new location for Headlands Brewing.
