50 Best Bars near Brisbane

“Definitely try their Happy Hour frm 3pm-6pm on Wednesdays & Thursdays only.
I like going here after work for their happy hour to catch up with my sister bestie as she works around there. It's quite, serence and very relaxing by the Brisbane Marina. Plus a nice break if you are looking for a quiet me time away for yourself to relax.
Patio area is nice & cozy to chill & enjoy the sun with a beautiful waterfront view.
Food is good with american flare of sliders, chicken wings, flat breads, good selection of drinks, mocktails & beers definitely recommended.
Located on the back side of the Biosiences building with plenty of parking by Sierra Point Yacht Club and San Francisco Bay Trial to walk around the Marina & Pier.“

“Love the happy hour. Anchor Steam Draft and Chicken wings. And the sexy manager is very �“

““These sandwiches are to live for!” Kelsey has amazing energy, made to order, these sandwiches are great fresh or toasted & come in a verity of breads meats and cheeses. If you don’t prefer meat, theirs a list of veggies you can throw on that sub! I’m there 3 to 4 days for lunch though out the week order on the toast app“

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!“

“If you’re into tiki, this place is a must. If you’re not, it’s still going to be a very good time. Drinks are strong and expertly crafted. I love Smuggler’s Cove’s cocktail book but don’t always have all the necessary ingredients at home, so was glad to be able to experience the recipes where they can be properly executed.“

“Awesome Tiki Bar and a must visit if your into Tiki or themed bars“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“Wonderful Bar tender Alec and staff 😄. Loved it!“

“Amazing staff. Lovely owners out of this work drinks and mock tails and the plants !!!!“

“Great atmosphere! Bartenders were great and able to make a variety of unique drinks. The back patio was arranged to accommodate 2-4 at a small table, and benches or high tops for groups. There was also an option to sit under the covered or outside part of the patio.“

“Trashy clientele, inconsistent and overpriced drinks, broken games, and early closing because the staff is lazy. This place is a joke, a disgrace to the Emporium name.“

“fantastic food and drinks with attentive staff and a lively atmosphere!!!“

“Loved this place very authentic“

“Good selection of draft beers and an excellent food menu. Not your average sud slinging pub, you won’t be disappointed after frequenting this establishment.“

“Really great spot with delicious and healthy options. I went for the mixed grill, and the portions were generous and satisfying. The Seedlip non-alcoholic drinks were an unexpected and delightful surprise!“

“Great place great food. Love it“

“😃🥰nice place for cocktails“

“I thought this would be a dime a dozen dive bar type spot, but thankfully I was wrong. It was pretty poppin for a Monday evening, but not enough to where it was overwhelming. The trees are fantastic, and the cocktails were actually good! We even got a nifty NA cocktail as a nightcap. I'll be coming back next time I'm in the area.“

“We had such a delightful time at Tintos! It was a wonderful surprise to find this Persian gem on Valencia Street. The menu is unique, exciting, and full of delicious flavors you don’t often come across in the neighborhood. Everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared and so tasty. Tintos really stands out as a special addition to Valencia Street, and we’re so glad we discovered it. Highly recommended!“

“Great bartender & sours. FYI - they don't serve any liquor, just beer & wine

Parking: You will likely have to drive around the neighborhood for a while and walk a few blocks to park which will be time limited.“

“If I'm in San Francisco, it's a mandatory stop for me for an evening or late-night bite!“

“I've never been to a bar I've liked more. Everything about my experience was top shelf. The service was impeccable - attentive, engaging, and helpful. The listening experience was divine. The interior decor was a perfectly executed intersection of mid-century modern and industrial. What isn't to love? A gem.“

“I love performing their can't wait to go back“

“Best bar in the state of California. Bar tenders are angels sent from heaven.

If Heaven had a dive bar, it would be the Wreck Room.

This place is less of a bar and more of a spiritual experience where alcohol meets emotional healing and excellent music. I came in for one drink. I left with a new lease on life, 3 new best friends, and possibly a tattoo (jury’s still out).

Let’s talk about the bartenders.
These legends aren’t just slinging drinks—they’re alchemists. They mix cocktails like wizards with rent due. One of them made me a drink so good I texted my ex just to say I’ve moved on. Another handed me a shot with the kind of gay eye contact that made me believe in myself again.

Special shoutout to Ev, Philly, Mario! Watching them work is like watching a symphony of chaos—shakers flying, beers cracking, garnishes tossed like they’re auditioning for Top Chef: Bar Edition. At one point I swear I saw one of them pour six drinks with two hands and a third-eye chakra.

Vibes? Immaculate.
Bathroom graffiti? Philosophical.
Jukebox selection? So good I briefly considered proposing to it.
Clientele? A beautiful mix of people who all look like they could either give you great life advice or help you move a couch.

I’ve cried here. I’ve danced here. I once won a heated debate about the best Nicolas Cage movie here.

Wreck Room isn’t just a bar. It’s therapy with tequila.
10/10. Will be buried here.“

“Thriller Social Club is a go-to spot in SF for an unforgettable night out with friends! It’s more than just a barcade, it has a welcoming vibe that feels polished and fun, striking a unique balance between entertainment and a relaxed, social atmosphere.

The two-story layout has something for everyone: plenty of games across both floors and a cozy lounge area upstairs for those wanting to unwind. Special recognition to Devon, Matt, and the amazing staff who bring great energy and make sure everyone has a fantastic time.

If you’re looking for a place to play, chill, and enjoy some of the best hospitality in SF, Thriller Social Club is a must-visit!“

“Best place ever. Real humans being real beautiful weirdos. Music sometimes. Eye candy always. Specs’ is one of my favorite places on earth.“

“Beautiful ambiance, attentive service, delicious food and drinks, and VERY memorable tiramisu. An all around excellent choice when dining out for a special occasion! Would highly recommend.“

“What an absolute gem. Could not recommend this place more. The Thrasher Fries and Crab Cakes are top tier (and that’s coming from someone that lives in Maryland). Service was superb and the bartender was the right balance of attentive but chill. What more could you ask for?!“

“We love coming to Wunderbar, and whenever we bring friends here, they love it too, and we have a blast.

Kiernan is always an incredible host from the moment we walk through the door. He is warm, fun and thoughtful. He knows his drinks and delivers a phenomenal level of service and sets a high bar - not just for Wunderbar, but for all high-end cocktail establishments.

All the bartenders are fantastic, from Selina, to Andrew, to Brandon. The drinks are always on point. And of course, the endless supply of warm buttery popcorn is a great bonus!“

“Spent a great evening a the Mad Dog in the Fog. Good food. Good trivia. Great people. Thanks to Killian for making our night sensational. Best Irish pub in San Fran.“

“You must try the guava cider and fish and chips with the mushy peas! I dont know why I liked the peas so much, but I did. Pascal is a great bartender and makes sure youre taken care of and does it with such warmth. Definitely come here for free games of pool on Mondays and trivia on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!“

“This was my 1st visit to San Francisco on my birthday! Hidive was welcoming, with great staff, good drinks, and a great bar top food menu! Started the day out there with margaritas, and stopped back in for some wings and a nightcap at the end of the day. It was great!“

“I don’t know how long this will last, but right now there’s a lunch deal where you get a free martini with lunch. I got the burger which was great, and the martini was modest sized but packed a punch! It was perfectly made and really hit the spot. I can’t wait to come back and try the other cocktails on the menu 🍸“

“Great venue. L, X“

“I had a great drink here and will be back — good conversation and playful banter with the bartender. Local spot on Chestnut with a pool table in the back. I stopped in solo just to check the vibe, since I live in the neighborhood and had never been in. Everyone was welcoming, and the staff was happy to chat.“

“awesome. especially in the daylight!“

“Waldy was the bartender and was super hospitality and welcoming! He was great at recommending the best drinks and food. The quesabirria and the barbacoa nachos were delicious and you have to do a Mexican candy shot (pictured). Music was also great.“

“Yummy selection and really friendly service.“

“I have found a new favorite bar. Wandered in because I was curious, and was pleasantly surprised. It's a historic bar with GORGEOUS interiors, friendly service, fun historical anecdotes, and there was live music when I was there. I will definitely be back, and hopefully in time to catch the sandos!“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

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

“We stopped in because this place is located across the street from the Fox Theater and we were seeing a concert. What a terrific find. Fantastic cocktails, wonderful bartenders, and you can order food from a Japanese restaurant next door and they deliver it to you at the bar. Enjoyed a wonderful bento box with gyoza, seaweed salad, and fried chicken.“
