Cordial Cellar and Lounge

Loved this gem on Castro Valley where I grew up. Used to be the old Daughtreys building now offing great food, ambience and a market. Try the steak panini it is wonderful!

Cozy bar with a well curated wine collection, local beers, and unique whiskeys.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable! Simon always has details on the wine makers, grape selection, and growing history of all the wines available.

The food is still bar-familiar, but more like restaurant quality. Definitely recommend the meat and cheese plate to go with wine tasting.

The wine club regularly introduces us to excellent smaller wineries, often specializing in sustainable agriculture.

This is a Hidden Gem in the heart of Castro Valley. Here, there are very exact and professional servers and bartenders. They also have happy hour. I love that they let kids come and sit. The water was very fresh too. I will definitely be back!

My third time here. They used to be on the ground floor, but now are downstairs. Great vibe. Excellent service and craft beer options. Will go here every time we stop at the marketplace.

The embodiment of "Cool vibes," Cordial provides expertise and professionalism, along with delicious foods and beverages. I've been enjoying this place for years. The customers at the bar seating are lively and friendly. The live music is always good to set the tone for, whatever, occasion. Parking is easy, on site, in the back of the Marketplace building. The chef is a skilled host too. This is a family operated business. Locals make the difference. Double check the dining service hours since the bottle shop opens early, and the cooking happens at various other times.

Awesome place to meet your girlfriends for brunch.

Jazz Band was great !

Good food, good wine

Haven't been to this place in a while but the times I have gone it's been a cozy welcoming vibe with good drinks & food.

Interesting selections. Plus I see they have alcohol ice cream which tasted very boozy. Must try!!?

Great ambiance, there was a good live band. Plenty of tasty wines and they have delicious bitings.

Love how elegant they've made this basement space - it's always a nice respite from the outside world. Enjoy their flights and great beer selection, and the popcorn is always tasty. Peer into the heart of deliciousness with the sous vide cheesecake, made of goat cheese with graham cracker crumbs and Irish whiskey dulce de leche. Quite tasty! But I admit, I was sad to see it served in jar form versus a slice. I probably should have guessed that from the "sous vide," huh?

We go to their happy hour and just love the ambiance of their downstairs lounge.
