50 Best Bars near Burlingame

“Been to this place twice. Dropped in on a Friday and it was kinda slow The gentlemen working the bar didn't seem like he wanted to be there. But he still put on a smile when serving the drinks. Went back a there was a woman bartending. She was extremely sweet and very welcoming. There was also a back patio that also has a tv and you could smoke back there.“

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“Food was great. Service was excellent even the restaurant was packed at height of dinner. Great food!“

“Our waiter, Sinan, was absolutely amazing- very attentive, knew the menu, and professional. My husband ordered a burger and loved it. I had a hot cabbage salad which was delicious. The cheese & charcuterie was good and served with ham and carmelized onions which were yummy. The “aged Gouda” was actually smoked Gouda. I suggest they dim the lights further than they were dimmed on 16 Feb, 2025.“

“Delicious vegan options include the Scallion Oil Noodles, and the Chongqing Noodles (super spicy, but you can dilute the broth with water and it will stil be the most delicious soup you'll ever have, though it could use extra veggies), the Mapo Tofu Steamed Dumplings are divine, rhe scallion pancakes are flakey and yummy (though a bit oily), and the cucumber salad is refreshing.“

“Excellent food Best gelato too“

“Amazing restaurant. The food was SO flavourful and perfect portions. The attention to detail with the design and soft paper towels etc. made for a wonderful experience. The staff and owner were so friendly and the service was impeccable. We will be back! Great cocktails too.“

“I was staying in this Hilton and wasn't too hungry, but decided to get something from this restaurant. I sat at the bar and was helped by the bartender as soon as he was done with another customer. I ended up having a burger with sweet potato fries and they were both great. Of course the burger wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was much better than most restaurants, the sweet potato fries were perfectly done.

I read some of the reviews of this restaurant, a couple of them were for different places in the hotel, they're not open for breakfast and they don't carry packaged goods.

Some reviewers didn't like the pricing. It's not inexpensive, but I think it was priced right. The burger and fries were $22. McDonald's and Carl's Jr. are around $15-18 these days, $22 is a good deal for a great food in a nice hotel in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I had a cocktail, $16, this is the same that I pay at an average bar these days.

I thought that overall, the place was very clean and werll laid out, and the staff were all very professional. This is an area where people can get offended because you used the wrong hand to open a door, they're crazy, so to be able to find attentive, courteous, and professional employees, is amazing.

I will be staying here again, and I'll probably eat at Fire|Vine again.“

“I have stayed at this hotel for the past month. On nights that I'm too tired to go out of the hotel for dinner. I have dined in.

The pear salad is my favorite. The combination of pecans,goat cheese & pomegranate is excellent. I love the honey mustard dressing. I Added some grilled chicken on top and it's even more perfect. I also love their steak wedge salad!

More recently I have stopped in for breakfast as well. Today I had the Challa French toast with pork sausages. Oh my God that is delicious! The pork sausages were huge, flavorful and still moist. The French toast was amazing. I could not finish it all.

The other morning, I had the Create your own omelette with potatoes, that was also made to perfection as well. Not overcooked and dry but moist and even the cheese was melted perfectly. The portion size was huge big plus

The service is excellent. This morning at breakfast Drew treated me with professionalism, respect, timeliness and Care. We even got to talk and share a few good moments. The Hostess has always been super nice to me. The staff always recommending me great dishes and pointing me in the right direction. The staff is Top notch and deserve a raise.

It's not all sunshine and rainbows though. Corporate- If you are reading this, please make the Hostess and Market dedicated positions. During the one month that I have been here, I have observed and experienced long wait times to be seated or ordering to go at the Market.
Peet's coffee grab and go this morning was especially challenging for the Wait staff. The line for to be seated for breakfast was humongous and people were visibly upset. I could feel their pain as in the morning we are trying to get in and get out because people have flights to catch. The Wait time is excessive because there is only one person seating people and also performing market cash register duties. The market person also has to warm up the food for the Pete's grab-and-go's which also increases the wait time for her hosting duties.

So Corporate if you are reading this, I implore you to make a change. Please hire dedicated market and hostess positions. Do not combine their Duties.

If you can eliminate the excessive wait times to be seated I think peoples experiences will be greatly enhanced. Instead people are having a bad experience right out the gate. It is very hard to overwrite a bad first impression.“

“My server Darko was excellent. I had a 10 hour delay and a bad shoulder - he found me a very comfortable seat despite a crowded atmosphere. Also gave me great recommendations on what to see in Singapore. The hostess Jada K was also fantastic. Burger was excellent this is not typical airport food. Lettuce crisp and green, tomato fresh, pickles made in house. Fries were great. Highly recommend this place. It was suggested to me by a United Club worker when I said I was hunting for good eats before a long flight - he was right. Five stars“

“Absolutely amazing food . Came here on a trip from jersey and was recommended here . You won’t regret it .“

“We recently used Molly O’s to cater our World Cup Final viewing party and everything was fantastic! Raquel was very helpful and a great at communicating. The standout dish for everyone was their sausage rolls. They were a huge hit!“

“The bartender Michelle she’s good and hard worker“

“Amazing experience.

Great staff. Great drinks. Great atmosphere.

I feel at home.

The drinks are delicious. We had 3 rounds and wish we had more time!

The bartenders actually have personalities!

Go and enjoy! You’re welcome.“

“Great Vibe, amazing staff. Great Bartenders, Love this place.“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“Such a lovely wine bar with a calm, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful décor. The owner truly knows wine inside and out and took the time to explain everything in detail when we asked. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and care put into the experience. Definitely a place worth coming back to“

“¡ La limpieza!! La atención al cliente y la esmerada creación de las pizzas, me dan la certeza de que al recomendarlo, no me van a dejar mal !! Los precios, accesibles y todo el establecimiento contribuye a pasar un grato fin de semana con familiares y/o amigos !“

“A little pricey, it was a bit challenging to order if you're not sitting at the bar and the service for the food is quite slow as well as cashing out the check. Food itself was good quality although not exceptional but the convenience of grabbing a bite to eat in a place with nice ambiance before a flight can't be beat.“

“Great entertainment, good adult beverages!“

“Stumbled upon this bar while waiting for a flight, and I’m so glad we did. Our bartender, Nile, was an absolute ray of sunshine. He was so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Great conversation, great energy, and he made our unexpected stop so much more enjoyable. Definitely the kind of bartender you remember, thanks, Nile, for making our night!“

“Our band, Drini & the Bad Kats Band, played at the venue for the first time last night. The entire staff, patrons and owner were great. Our friends loved the venue as well. I’ve been for Karaoke Nights several times and have always had a blast as well. The drinks are strong and delicious, just like I like em. Lots of space to move around too. 🤗🎤🎉“

“Let's start with the amazing food I had ,lets add the perfect service that it was provided by Marta Melendez, her smile and attitude was the best part ! Thank you Marta for your excellent service, the food was amazing ?! Marta keep the smile on her face ,even that I was a super busy day she was making us feel happy with her service! A big plus ,for the restaurant for having people like Marta!“

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.“

“Great local home town bar with ping pong, darts, and pool, they've got great live music and fun events like karaoke and open mic. It's also on the bus route, and a great place to watch the game, with great food places nearby. The Long Board is a fun and entertaining place to go.“

“Been in the area for work a few times in the last couple months. I found this place on my first trip out here and couldn’t have stumbled upon a better place. They don’t have a kitchen, but you can find some of the best food trucks parked outside the front door regularly. A great place to watch sports and hang out where the locals do. From the owner to Jessica behind the bar, you’ll feel right at home.“

“Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere.“

“This restaurant has been here since 2007 and I really should have gone in sooner, since they have perfected the art of steak. I believe they can give House of Prime Rib a run for their money, especially with their larger portion sizes for about the same price.

Their dinner menu has a few options, but their steaks are really well cooked with just enough red without being bloody. Their jus is divine and each bite of steak tastes heavenly with enough flavor and fat that melts in your mouth. They do offer two types of horseradish, as well as salt and pepper on the table.

All their entrees come with 2 sides (we really enjoyed the mashed potatoes and cream spinach), a popover (which is good but not as good as their complementary, freshly baked bread), and a house salad which had a lovely dressing that I can't name.

We also had two glasses of wine, both bursting with flavor. I'd recommend the Unshackled wine if you want a blended red wine with a fruitier taste or a Merlot for a drier one.

While we were too full for dessert, they had delicuous sounding options in creme brulee, tiramisu, and cheesecake.

The staff were very friendly, easy to make reservations through a phone call, and we certainly will be dining here again in the future.“

“Went here twice for a film screening and Dust Breaks' EP release party—both different and great events! Good vibes, warm & inviting while having great staging for different kinds of events to play with. As an artist myself, I'd like to play a show here in the future for its vibes, drinks, easy access to food along the area, and friendly service! Shoutout to Allan for the friendliness and tech help!“

“I am from Detroit, and work in the bay area 2 weeks a month. I consider myself a dive bar aficionado. First visit here was in July, met George and a few regulars and fell in love immediately.
George treated me like I have been coming for years. Helped me find local spots to have great food and even helps me find Punk Rock shows to see when I am town. Chris's New Harbor is now my home away from Home.
Ask George to make you a Dolly Shot, they are Money 😀.
Fridays are Food Truck Day, different food truck ea. Friday. I had Jerk Salmon last time I was here on a Friday and it was excellent.

Cant tell you how much I love this place“

“sports atmosphere....patrons are awesome, jukebox I love and the bartenders are awesome...“

“The best of the best dive bars. Katie is sweet, warm, welcoming and makes everyone feel like a new friend. The regulars here make it feel like home, even to someone who just arrived from the airport. The gourmet food options include Lays, Fritos, Cheetos and Cheez-Its. There's a pool table and shuffleboard. Come for a good time, stay for a long time.“

“good chill place to hangout and have drinks and shoot pool with the locals. everyone there is chill“

“Good service and good food!!!“

“Gemelos Cantina & Sports Bar is new and next door to their restaurant in Redwood City. Place your order for food at the restaurant and they bring it over to you on the bar side. Nice atmosphere with plenty of TV screens, a pool table and a group of couch seating inside. Outside there is a patio in the back with heaters.“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“It's a good old fashioned pub. Nothing fancy, just a nice comfortable place to have a drink and make a friend. There is a large outside area where you can smoke and have a drink, which is hard to find. It's my go to place after a hard days work. The service is the best !!“

“Fun surfer punk dive bar with cheap drinks and outdoor patio, complete with surfboards. Free popcorn and occasional handcrafted wood oven Italian pizza for sale outside. Surprisingly, many big names have played at this tiny beach venue, like The Mummies & Supersuckers! This place continues to create new memories for me each time!“

“Super cute rooftop. Pizza one is one of the best pizza I've ever ate. The rooftop smash cocktail is now my favorite drink. I took a picture of the ingredients and made it at home ‍ that's how good it was. Definitely coming back. The customer service was outstanding. I will for sure come back with all my girls so we can day drink haha“

“Great way to spend some time.! Friendly people every where. It is realky great when you win too! Lol“

“Rolled into town on a Wednesday, looking to book a late night party on the upcoming Saturday. Monica behind the bar grabbed the owner Malhi from next door. They were both super helpful and made it easy. Had a great time with good drinks. Even pumped our own music through their sound system. Nice looking place with chill vibe.“

“This place is basically a food court for the tech crowd. I like that they offer a wide variety of food, and ordering through the self-service tablet kiosks is quick and convenient. The portions are also quite generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry.
That said, don't expect it to be a place where you can linger for hours or let your kids run around and play. It's more of a grab-a-meal-and-go kind of spot.
We ordered the burgers and the pasta. The smash burger was the highlight—juicy, flavorful, and you could actually taste the wagyu in the beef. The fries were decent but nothing particularly memorable.
The pasta was a pleasant surprise. The sauce was rich and well-balanced, and the cheese was perfectly incorporated. Everything came together really well, making it one of the standout dishes of the meal.“

“I loved Lorena's service, she is super professional and detailed with her hands and products. She relaxes you and makes you conscious. She makes you feel like you are in the clouds. Of course I highly recommend her. You will not regret it. You will return and above all, the results are instantaneous. thank you ? My Lore“

“Great owner! Great Staff! Comfortable surroundings! Gotta be there!!“

“Greens are true and the range has a helpful computer system“

“we came here for a staycation last weekend and honestly the place is pretty solid for the price. the room was clean enough and the bed was comfortable which is really all i care about but the wifi was REALLY slow like couldn't even load a youtube video slow. the staff was super nice at check in and even let us check in early without a fuss which didnt expect, that was great. the parking lot was a bit of a mess though with cars EVERYWHERE but i think it was just a busy weekend. the only real thing i'd change is the breakfast, the coffee was grose and the pastries were stale so bring your own stuff. all in all a decent spot for a night or two, would stay again if i had to.“

“Perfect spot for a work happy hour! Great vibes and drinks from the bartenders, fully stocked bar with everything from mezcal to gin. Plenty of space for large groups and a wind protected patio outside with couches and tables. Coming back for sure“

“Hey, I found this place last night when I was staying at the Westin Marriott across the street. The Korean BBQ pork tacos and mac and cheese were awesome! The tacos had this amazing sauce that really highlighted the Korean flavors, but it wasn't too spicy. And the mac and cheese? Perfect amount of cheese.“

“This is the most beautiful brunch spot in Bay Area. The food was impeccable. I spoke with the owner and chef and learned that he had a Michelin guide background and also everything at the restaurant Is made in house. The dessert was absolutely out of this world and if you live in Bay Area, this is a place you have to try.“
