28 Best Cocktail Bars near Burlingame

“Great drinks, great venue, super friendly staff.

I was looking for an after party spot after my friend's wedding in Burlingame and this was the perfect spot on the way back to their hotel. When I called, they were super welcoming and told us that they would be able to accommodate us. If the party was too big, they said they could host us in their back patio area. I loved how flexible they were.

The cocktail menu was very creative and the drinks were delicious. They also had wine and beer to accommodate all preferences. They also served empanadas all night long, so that was a really great option for anyone who had the munchies.

I got a round of shots and they were super nice to create a custom one for us. They even gave the bride and groom a complimentary drink to toast. It was such a wonderful and celebratory atmosphere. Thank you for making it memorable for us.“

“Fantastic flavors and presentations at Twelvemonth! We went for a family dinner on a Friday night and the place was hopping. Every dish was really quite tasty, especially the tamales. Good cocktail and mocktail menu, and good selection of wines and beers.

The space is beautiful too, with high ceilings, lots of space, and a gorgeous outside area with tons of seating.

The entire menu is plant-based and vegan, which made the vegans amongst us ecstatic of course. But then the omnivores were happy too because it's just really tasty food!

Can't wait to try the prix fix tasting menu, but one of us didn't want it, and it requires full table participation. Next time then.“

“Update: After eating five different items from Twelvemonth, I can honestly say that this bakery has the best vegan baked goods/pastries I've ever had in my life. I'm not kidding. I'm super sad that they don't have a store in New York City. 🥲 We had a cold brew coffee, a matcha latte, a cinnamon roll, and a pistacchio croissant. Everything tasted amazing! 😍 Updated from previous review on 2025-06-27“

“The filet was perfectly cooked. My favorite, always consistent- I've even door dashed this an it came perfect. 10 for consistency. But the atmosphere and the attentive service makes it even better! Thank you Stella for a wonderful meal! 👏👏“

“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“We came here after visiting Washington Park with 6 people on a Sunday afternoon. It was hot and we wanted something small and quick to eat and drink while the niners game was on. We originally wanted to sit at the bar but since we had a larger group we opted to sit at a table. We got a round of shots and a Prickly Pear Margarita that was really good. We got the signature French fries flight (truffle, rosemary garlic, bbq) served with herb ranch, chipotle mayo, and ketchup. We also got the Chicken Wing flight (Buffalo, salt n pepper, honey habanero) that came with 9 total wings. And we got a chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was a good little snack for all of us, service was great. There was air conditioning, but there was a quick black out during the game but it came on pretty quickly! There’s street parking and some lots nearby.“

“Fantastic food and good prices Excellent service“

“Brought my mom for Mother's Day. The staff and service was excellent. Carving station and custom omelet station were both good. Wish there could have been slightly more variety of dishes - lots of potatoes. Had to ask for ketchup and BBQ sauce for the chicken tenders and fries since they were not offered at the buffet tables (only ranch from salad bar). I would've settled for honey mustard, but was not a salad dressing option. Main dessert table emptied before 1:30, but there was another table in the backroom. Jazz group was a nice touch - a little loud for conversation (and very quiet during their breaks) but musicians were very good! Missed the Mother's Day photo op as they ended right at 2pm. Wish they had been available for another 30min or had been mentioned when we checked in. A few of us took our own photos while the backdrop was still up. Overall, was a pleasant experience and decent food. Mom enjoyed the polenta!“

“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!“

“I've known of this place before it was taken over by the current owners. It was not a nice place.Fast forward to now and it has been converted to a neighborhood bar with a relax atmosphere. The drinks are pricey but anywhere you go these days drinks are expensive. I like that on the weekends there is food available. It's a little more upscale than McDonald's but pretty much the same style, burgers and fries.I will definitely be back!!“

“Great atmosphere, food and the best Rüdesheimer kaffee, Silvia prepares most of the ingredients from scratch and let me say it is by far the best kaffee I have ever had. Love sitting at the bar, and watch her create this amazing drink!!! Will be back soon!“

“(Translated by Google) I like it a lot because you can listen to the music you like and dance and have fun with the artists. It is a place where you forget your sorrows.(Original)Me gusta mucho porque puedes escuchar la música que te gusta y bailar y te diviertes con los artistas es un lugar donde olvidas las penas.“

“Dark and bright. Loudly peaceful. Old but hip. The best Old Fashioned in town. Surf Lounge is the only of its kind in Pacifica, and one of the few dive bars that celebrates its dive barness. No bands, no pool. Just a bar.
And cash only please“

“👌👌beautiful the place and the drinks“

“pretty bartender reasonable beer prices“

“We found this bar at the last minute before closing thank goodness. They have 4 big tv for sports and a Great selection of beers and wines. The Bartender Jason was very helpful and welcoming.

“Excellent food and cocktails, friendly vibe and superior service. The blended boozy slushies were so refreshing and well balanced. Great selection of top shelf liquor for the classics. The chicken liver pate is outstanding. Wish I lived closer.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“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!“
