“My wife and I visited this spot yesterday to enjoy their Happy Hour. The place is small, but perfect. They have outside seating as well. We sat at the bar. We were immediately greeted warmly.

We ordered the Summer drink and the Peach one (Both found on the menu). We ordered the Original burger with fried egg and avocado. It was delicious. The burger was big, flavorful and everything was cooked how I needed it to be (We shared the burger and small fries. It was enough for 2). We ordered more drinks: Chocolate martini (Not on the menu, but ask for it...so delicious), we had tequila shots and my wife had a Mezcal drink prepared by the bartender (Not on the menu, but it was tasty).

The bartender was funny, accomodating and amazing. So amazing that I did not even know he was the owner!! Lol.. his name is Mike. He such a cool down to earth dude. Like very personable.

I definitely reccomend this spot!“

“Best place to watch am Eagles game. Felt like home. Great atmosphere and food!“

“Swung by to grab a drink before Dumpling Home seating.

Lots of space, and probably more crowded than usual with the NBA finals game playing.

Can of hazy for $8-$9 was a bit on the high end, but expected with SF pricing.“

“The one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

“Plenty of TVs! Changed to my relatively obscure game (UVA v Northwestern on CBS Sports Network) upon request - even turned on the sound. Solid beer selection on draft. Several other games featured for other patrons. About half full on a Friday afternoon, with several friendly conversations adding to a nice vibe.“

“The grilled salmon is spectacular!“

Try anything on the menu ( it will not miss) especially the french dip.“

“Great sports bar and the food is pretty darn tasty too!“

“Oakland Staple, everything is done fairly well, one block away from Pixar studios. This is what the standard should be in my opinion, (yes I said opinion if you know me I work with facts so this is big) why because they deliver exactly what they advertise so you are not misguided or get false hopes followed by disappointment, overall quite happy after eating here. Thank you“

“We had Rompiballe Sandwich and The Milanese Sandwich. Our favorite one was The Milanese Sandwich even if both sandwiches were very tasty. It was very fresh and we liked the harmony of ingredients. Service was fast and we didn’t have a difficulty finding a table. I felt like I was in a nice sandwich shop in Firenze. Thank you!“

“Can’t beat the rustic atmosphere and the bartender was very friendly and informative.“

“The lady running this place is amazing and really sweet! She cooked a delicious Ethiopian dinner for the 8 of us by herself. It took a bit, but it was well worth the wait because every dish was so good and the bread was light, spongy, and plentiful. Please give her your business!“

“I didn't eat the food because you don't go to this bar to eat. Go for the amazing sports experience, the great service and whatever drink you want. Even when the place gets packed you still feel like you're in the place you want to be and the bottom line is this place is great.“

“Bus Stop keeps the Cow Hollow bar spirit alive with a twist. It’s been around since 1900. New owners Joseph Wallace and Robert Lemons took over in 2021, ending four generations of family ownership by the Ferroni family. These days it’s still packed with the usual TVs for sports, pool table, wall-to-wall beer taps behind the bar, and free popcorn for late-night regulars. The bar is famous nationally for how much Fernet-Branca it sells, reportedly more bottles per year than any other bar in America. “

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“Great spot. It’s a local gem.“

“Good drinks, great atmosphere, best food!!“

“Comfortable Like a well worn pair of shoes“

“Always enjoy our time!! The best food ever!!!!“

“Splash at Thrive City – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Would Be 10 Stars If I Could)

We came in right at opening (10:45 AM) before the Santa Cruz Warriors vs. Clippers G League matchup at 1:00 PM, and from the first interaction, everything was dialed in.

The food was absolutely on point. The burger was cooked perfectly, topped with melty cheese and a roasted pepper that added just the right kick. The parmesan fries were crisp, seasoned well, and served hot. Presentation was clean and intentional — every plate looked as good as it tasted.

The drinks matched the quality of the food. The Bloody Mary was bold, balanced, and properly garnished — exactly what you want for brunch. No shortcuts.

Service is where Splash truly stands out. Alonzo took outstanding care of us — attentive without hovering, personable, and fully engaged. Dan, the beverage manager, made sure all our needs were met and that the entire experience exceeded expectations. That level of leadership presence does not go unnoticed.

Tom, I’m sorry I missed you, but your team is absolutely holding it down. The standard of hospitality reflects strong management, and it shows.

This was my wife’s pre-birthday celebration, and the team made it feel special without us even having to ask. Efficient timing, great energy, and the perfect pre-game atmosphere at Thrive City before heading into Chase Center.

Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. If I could give 10, I would.

We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great location and selection of food and the selection is expanding from what I hear! Kid friendly and a great place to have birthday parties, happy hours, or for any reason. Indoor and outdoor seating options (dog friendly outdoors). They also have lots of TVs for MMA, European, Cricket, and all sports fanatics, inclusive of Baseball, Basketball, and Football! VJ’s also has a FULL COCKTAIL BAR! Great beer selection as well! The owner and his staff are all great. Come by and check out VJ’s! It’s next to the UPS Store at Marina Village.“

“Such a cool and chill spot.“

“Great bartender! Megan I believe! Thanks“

“Harmonic Brewing Thrive City is a fantastic spot for craft beer lovers. The selection is diverse and flavorful, with fresh brews that highlight local creativity. The lively atmosphere and friendly staff make it a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy quality beer.“

“Great bar that has friendly patrons as well as lots of entertainment. You will often find love entertainment on the weekends, and always loads of pinball.

Bar has quite the selection of craft beers, and bar staff are knowledgeable to help find your perfect pint.“

“Home for relaxation and heart breaking last minute goal“

You need to drop in!“
