16 Best Beer Bars near Burlingame

“Burlingame has long been overdue for a dedicated wine bar, and Velvet 48 Wine Bar fills that gap beautifully. Years ago, we were regulars at Nectar, a beloved spot for date nights, and ever since it closed, we've been waiting for something that could capture that same charm. Velvet 48 delivers.

Though centrally located, the entrance is a bit tucked away — we might have missed it if a friend hadn’t recommended it. We’re so glad they did. From the moment you walk in, the service is warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You’re greeted with a taste of their house sparkling rosé, which is so good we end up ordering it every time we visit. That said, their wine list is extensive and thoughtfully curated, and they also offer bottles to-go.

We always enjoy their cheese and charcuterie boards — either one of each or the half-and-half option, which makes a perfect light bite before dinner.

If you’re looking for an inviting, high-quality wine bar in Burlingame, Velvet 48 is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Given how good the Twelvemonth restaurant is, it’s no surprise that their Bakehouse is also incredible. Sometimes my biggest dilemma is deciding between full brunch at the restaurant or just a coffee and pastry at the Bakehouse. Their scones are highly recommendable as well as the twice baked croissants. They also sell entire loaves of bread-pricy but worth it! Pro tip: you can ask for the items For Here (they’re to-go by default). There are 2 small tables in the Bakehouse but if they’re full you may also sit and enjoy Twelvemonth’s patio while you enjoy your pastries and coffee“

“Twelvemonth has a vast and dense menu that is filled with an array of worldwide cuisines! I opted to have the dumplings, chilaquiles, and a beet salad and all were amazing. The ingredients and products they use in their food are very high quality. The ambiance of the restaurant is also amazing. They have a nursery room, the interior looks like an elegant restaurant from the 1950s, and their is plenty of greenery in the restaurant space.“

“Great entertainment, good adult beverages!“

“Great atmosphere and brews.“

“It's a great restaurant that we were able to visit while on our journey. The lasagna was the best I have ever tasted 🤤 it was sooooo good and it doesn't need anything to accompany it. The pizza, that we got, was good, next time I would get different meats but this was definitely a spot to spin the block and go back to before I head out .“
