19 Best Cocktail Bars near Burlingame

“Happened to stop by here with my brother from out of town a few nights, was a slow night at the bar it seemed.
Was having quite a drab day but a quick drink whipped up by our bartender Louisa and some excellent jokes turned our day right around. The matcha drink was one of the best I’ve ever had, and I can honestly say I’d stop by again whenever I’m back just to try the drink again. Thanks Louisa“

“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!“

“Twelvemonth was a wonderful surprise just before a long flight. It felt like an embarrassment of riches to have to choose just a few things on the menu. We wanted to try it all! And everything we did try was a delight. Can't wait to return. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-15“

“Had a lovely meal here for our first, but not last, visit. Started with a caesar salad, then shared the salmon dish and a gamberi pasta dish. All so good. Service was spectacular. If Emma was an example of the quality of servers at Stella, we will be happy to return. Thank you.“

“Fantastic food and good prices Excellent service“

“We had a fantastic experience at the 37 North this past Sunday at noon. Our party of eight was the only group seated, yet the service felt intentional, warm, and well-coordinated. Jun, the supervisor, was gracious and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly and checking in thoughtfully through me as the host. Michael, our waiter, was exceptional—highly perceptive and engaging, with a natural ability to read the table, and he shared his experience-based recommendations from a diverse and well-curated menu. The food options were current, comfortable, and well-priced, with great flexibility for sharing or enjoying appetizers as entrées. The dining room is modern and comfortable, and the large square table was ideal for our group. Parking validation (with complimentary warm cookies at the concierge desk) was a delightful and unexpected touch. Overall, 37 North was a refreshing, high-value alternative to other Burlingame options—thoughtful service, great atmosphere, and a genuinely enjoyable experience. We'll be back.“

“A good meal with excellent service, however unlike other tasting menus there wasn't too much explanation of the dishes when they were presented. Also the space was cavernous which is fine, and we were at a booth, but since it wasn't crowded it seems to lack the intimacy I was looking for. More of a place to be seen vibe.“

“Exceeded expectations. Extensive menu. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“👌👌beautiful the place and the drinks“

“Met my wife here how can I not love it!“

“I can’t rate the food because all I had was a dirty martini but the vibes were right in this joint! I’d come back for sure and try the food. Can get a tad rowdy but it just depends on the crowd. Overall I recommend this place and I’ll be back myself!“

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

“A real locals only kind of place where the floor is permanently tacky, the bathroom has seen things that would legally qualify as maritime disasters, and there’s at least one sun-bleached guy named “Sharky” who hasn’t worn real shoes since 1998.

The decor is “nautical decay,” the IPA tastes faintly of salt and regret, and every surface looks like it survived both a hurricane and a beach boys metal tribute band.

There’s a surfboard on the ceiling signed by someone who might be famous, but no one’s sure.
Basically: if Poseidon had a DUI and opened a bar, that’s the vibe. I regret nothing“

“If you are not looking for overpriced crafted cocktails and pretending wannabes, but for an honest cold beer after work aswell as down-to-earth-folks, this is your place to go.Fair bartenders, nice karaoke on Friday, always someone to play pool against.“
