50 Best Cocktail Bars near Burlingame

“Fiona was super friendly and gave amazing recommendations! we just happened to stumble across this place and didn’t know what to expect. she was super inviting and took very good care of us which really made our night. highly recommend to try out the london, midori sour, and passion cocktails. check out their happy hour for deals too!“

“Beautiful environment. Fantastic service. One of the best on the Peninsula. Only reason one star for food is that it can be inconsistent. Example - i love their chicken parm. Last week it was very tough and light sauce and cheese was not melted. I didnt send back but I have no doubt had i they would have accommodated. It just wasn't a night for reti5ning food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and good prices Excellent service“

“Jesus was amazing tonight.
We made a reservation for 8, but didn't need to, even though it was a Friday night.
I used to come often, but took a break, but wanted to give it another try and it did not disappoint.
We had 2 burgers, a blt, the shrimp scampi, 1 rib eye, and 2 fish n chips. Everything tastes as it should. Appetizer platter with brussel sprouts wings and potato skins.
Jesus read our minds on several occasions.
I'll have to put this back in my rotation. As far as hotel restaurants go, this is one is a hidden gem.
Reluctant to share my opinion bc I want to keep it to myself, but doing it for Jesus, since he was such a delight tonight.

I will say, it was a little pricey. $480 for a party of 8, with 1 kids meal. But a really nice experience overall.“

“Exceeded expectations. Extensive menu. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“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!“

“What an amazing hidden gem! This spot is a whole vibe, including bar seating, a patio and a room with board games and a TV.
Offering inexpensive craft cocktails and affordable meals, it's definitely worth checking out!
Must trys:
-Clam and crab chowder
-Crispy wings
-Tomato soup w/grilled cheese
Ethan is amazing and I can tell he knows his guests on a personal level...kinda like Cheers! It's definitely a good vibe!
Only regret...not getting photos to show off!!!“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Been 3x since this beautiful space opened up!
The chef has put together an incredible lunch and dinner menu, every dish is flavorful, balanced and beautifully plated. My favorites are the crudo, caesar salad, spiced olives, and braised beef cheek!!
The staff and bar program are excellent.
10/10 recommend this spot for happy hour, lunch/dinner, or good for company events bc location“

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

“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.“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“Really fun place a lot of l great people will definitely go back“

“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“

“I loved the drag on Sundays ! It was amazing“

“Cocktails and Wagyu - soooo good!“

“This place is great!! Love the Lamb Chops or New York Steak, Bartender Christine top notch, Area Mgr. Samantha always treats me like gold. Mgr. Alexa Luv her so dedicated, Mgr Edgar always on top of things, Can't forget Bartender Alberto! Or Mgr. Gia“

“pretty bartender reasonable beer prices“

“It's a very nice place to go listen live music and also if you want to dance💃 the only thing I don't like is that they don't have a parking lot so we have to struggle finding a spot to park our car but other than that is very cheap to enjoy a night out!“

“The new management (Carlos Galvan) is great! We felt welcome from the moment we walked through the door! Looking forward to the Friday Night Blues Jams. Great music...great people. Thank you Rail Club!!“

“Really enjoyed our dinner here! We skipped the famous sampler platter since we weren’t super hungry and just ordered a few things that sounded good.
- The beef tongue was a bit chewier than I expected - definitely had to work at it.
- Oxtail stew was tasty but they went a little heavy on the green onions.
- Pork jowl had great flavor and that nice fatty richness, though I wish it had been a touch more tender.
- Whole marinated short rib was absolutely incredible. So tender and juicy, honestly the star of the show.

Worth coming back for that alone. Good meal overall with one dish that really knocked it out of the park!“

“Very impressed and Edgar was awesome and super friendly.“

“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.“

“Nice place but one guy close early on sundays.around 9;30 pm“

“amazing food wonder staff“

“My family and I were searching for a great pizza spot near San Carlos and stumbled upon Impasto through Google Maps. I managed to snag a reservation just an hour beforehand, and I’m so glad I did because there were only two slots left. Shortly after we arrived, the place packed out—in the best way possible.

The interior is absolutely beautiful. My wife and I couldn't stop admiring the color palette and how well the entire design came together. Even the small details, like the flower vases on the tables, were incredibly thoughtful.

Our server, Jackson, was fantastic. He gave us great recommendations and, refreshingly, didn't make us feel uncomfortable when we decided to skip drinks that night—something that happens way too often at other places.

Every single thing we ordered was incredible, from the pizza and the roasted beet salad to the veal cannelloni special and tiramisu.

My only minor hurdle was the initial confusion with parking, but the hostess kindly cleared that up for us so we know exactly where to go on our next visit. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Hadn’t been here in nearly 30 years, we moved to Seattle, but back for vacation. Had to have the Cancun platter. Just like I remembered!!“

“Such a lovely bespoke atmosphere and the cocktails and bar bites are so artfully crafted. My only disappointment was that I only had time to visit once during my time in San Mateo but I hope to return. Cheers!“

“Such a great place. Beautiful outdoor dining! 🥰🥂💕“

“Beautiful place, nice service! It’s my first this place,maybe soon again!“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“Great selection of food, the house special pork pan fried bao is delicious -- one of the best outside of China. Love its tapas style, you can get a lot of smaller dishes to share and try a lot of different items! Service is outstanding!! Every server is so hospitable and you can tell they care about their customers.

We tried a lot of their items, would totally recommend the dumplings, XLB, wonton in chili oil, pan fried bao, skewers such as the ox tongue, salmon and chicken. Kids loved the porridge and ramen too. We got a bottle of sake, it comes with the coolest chilling/dispensing device -- it's an experience!“

“I ate there last week for the first time in several years. The menu is large and many different styles of food. I had the Prime Rib and it was EXCELLENT. There was 2 others in my party and they were equally impressed. Another benefit is that there are no parking problems. I will definitely eat there again.“

“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“

“We had dinner here after work event. We were the only ones in the restaurant, but it was early. The food was fantastic, the presentation was excellent, and the employees were very kind. I would definitely go here again, I had the ceviche it was superior. I also had a mango drink which was delicious. Parking can be a little tricky but we lucked out and pulled in right as somebody pulled out and were able to park right in front of the restaurant.“

“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.“

“A perfect site for relax a have a good time with your friends or just drinks!!!“

“Great bartenders, especially Joseph!“

“The hangar is a fairly new food Hall and is quite beautiful inside. Many who work nearby come here for lunch. The options include coffee, Mexican food, breakfast and burgers as well as a salad and sandwich shop. With soaring ceilings and subtle lighting, the atmosphere is very pleasant. I had had a carne asada burrito that was delicious. We also had guacamole and chips and the guacamole was very good. Overall everything smells delicious inside it should be a great spot to grab a relaxing lunch. There are a few booths as well as tables for four in the front section. There is a larger section in the rear of the building with lots of tables.“

“Drakes is amazing! Craft Cocktails, great food!! Highly recommend 5 Stars!“

“Needed a break from the terminal chaos, so my travel companion and I sat down at Tapas and Taps for a quick bite. We decided to share a bottle of wine and an order of buffalo wings.

The food was great. The wings came out hot, fresh, and had a fantastic kick to them—definitely hit the spot. It was a nice, civilized way to spend an hour before boarding.

The only reason I’m not giving a perfect score is the service. Our server was incredibly nice, but she seemed to have about ten things on her mind at once. She kept coming back to our table before we were ready, practically hovering while we tried to decide on the wine, and seemed eager to rush us through the process. It wasn't rude, just very distracted. A little patience goes a long way, and I wish we hadn't felt so hurried. Great food, just hope the service is a bit more relaxed next time.“
