50 Best Bars near Cupertino

“Went for a family dinner and this is by far the best Brazilian steakhouse we have been to in the bay area. Food was delicious, servers were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy even with a full house. Maybe the only gripe was we had booked a reservation at a specific time and did not actually get seated for roughly 20-30 minutes after the fact which felt bizarre.

Still, definitely cannot recommend it enough and hope to come back soon.“

“They dont really serve food but you can bring your own in. Really fun place. Couple pool tables great service. Most folks I talked to have been coming here for decades, so that's got say something! Great bartenders! Especially the day time guy!

Cash only though. They have an atm on site if needed. Definitely worth it stopping by.“

“My hubby and I go here quite often for lunch and just love it. We like to eat outside and enjoy the view. Everything we've tried on the menu was delicious.“

“Excelente servicio de lo mejor esta muy deliciosa 🍕“

“BEsteak.A is an exceptional steakhouse that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. From the moment we stepped in, the service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable staff who made us feel welcomed throughout. The ambiance was enhanced by the soothing music playing in the background, setting a relaxed tone for the evening. I opted for the bone-in New York steak, and I must say, it was a masterpiece. The presentation was unlike any other steakhouse I've been to—the steak arrived perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. What surprised me pleasantly was their unique twist on the starter; instead of the usual bread, we were served a delightful plate of fresh vegetables with a decadent cheese dipping sauce—a refreshing change that set the tone for the meal ahead. The open kitchen concept added to the experience, allowing us to see the skill and dedication of the chefs firsthand. Overall, BEsteak.A not only delivered on taste but also on ambiance, service, and creativity. It's a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.“

“Andres gave us the best experience we could ever ask for. Fun, amazing food, good music, and elation. He made sure we were well taken care of the whole time and made us laugh so hard. Oh and we’re coming back for the guacamole for sure“

“Great atmosphere
Great service
It was slow since I was there on a Sunday afternoon around 6. Pleasant for a drink alone and play a game or five :)
Next time I’ll try the food
The Zinny was a great and refreshing drink 🫶🏽“

“Perfect for watch parties.“

“We had a couple of picky eaters with us and the staff and management went out of their way to ensure we had a great meal. Great service, wonderful dishes, and a relaxing atmosphere made this visit special. The burgers were as advertised and custom made to our specifications. We'll be sure to visit again when we're in town.“

“The Greatest Bar in town with the most to do the best TVs and the best people & bartenders“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay!! The ambiance here is impeccable and the food is sooo good! Some of my favorites include the tom yum bucatini, any of the tostadas, summer peaches, and fingerling potatoes. Can’t go wrong with anything here.“

“I love this place I have been going here for years“

“Just a little local watering hole, good staff and good drinks, good pricing…
There are some complaints about food prices, but they don’t serve food, sometimes the bartenders bring in free food.
Most nights there is a taco food truck outside“

“My husband and I love this place!!! Not only is the food GREAT but everyone here is so friendly!!! This is by far one of our favorite and best places to come to for a good hearty meal!!! And who wouldn't love to see the Beautiful Gina!!! Her laugh and her smile is contagious!!!“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“What a quirky, rare find! A true dive bar, very real and authentic. There's, obviously, a bar, plus karaoke in the corner, a big wall for darts practice, a pool table, and several arcade games. Friday night was sparsely attended, but the karaoke was strong and the darts were still flying. Drinks were less than $10, the bartender was polite, and the other patrons were thoughtfully minding their own business. We loved everything about it?“

“Came for the board game night, but honestly I'd go again just for the atmosphere. If you're a Star Wars fan, you'll love it: fantastic decor, a themed menu, and none of that sports nonsense on the TVs - it's all movies and shows. They have a great array of non-alcoholic drinks, which I appreciated, and the food is generously portioned and delicious.“

“Wonderfully family owned business, where the bartenders know their drinks, staff is quick in keeping grounds clean and an amazing community fun space especially for sports games and hosting events! We had our high school reunion there!

As far as food, you can easily order from Spread (sandwiches) or Jtown pizza and are allowed to bring outside food in too!“

“Chill spot with a pool table, strong drinks, and seriously good tacos, especially on Taco Tuesdays. 🌮 La Korita’s Restaurant is there daily serving up legit Mexican food that pairs perfectly with whatever you’re drinking. The vibe is always good, and Tina is hands-down the best bartender. She’s super friendly, attentive, and makes the place even more fun to hang out at. Great food, great drinks, and an all-around solid spot.“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“Unique, invigorating cocktails. Tried No. 34, you should try it. Must try. Tried chicken , that was amazing as well. My next go to place for really great cocktails. Expensive ofcourse but worth the price. Late night atmosphere is crowded and lively.“

“We were weary travelers stopping by Scotty's in hope of a more chill vibe with some good food, and Scottys delivered! Our bartender, Sergio, was so friendly and fun! We got some inside knowledge about the town as we are from Oregon. The drinks were perfect and the food was top notch! I would have expected to pay a lot more for the quality of food and service we received at literally any of the surrounding places. We will visit Palo Alto again if only to go back to Scotty's as a new tradition! Thank you, Sergio, for making our anniversary dinner a great one! Someone give him a raise!“

“We had delicious food and were able well served by Lucky who was very attentive, yet gave us space. I truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! Thank you Lucky for a grate service!“

“After 20+ years of coming here…it’s STILL incredible! The Mojito! The Masitas, the snapper, and soooooo much more!“

“Sushi heaven does a good job of offering a variety of sushi: sashimi, nigiri, maki, temaki, and tempura, miso and specialty rolls (like California), and the price is right. It's affordable and the quantities are satisfying. If you think of it like a traditional restaurant that you find in Japan - except you sit on chairs at tables instead of on a tatami mat at chabudi (low tables) - then you'll find it satisfying.“

“Great neighborhood bar in West San Jose with friendly bartenders, strong cocktails, pool tables, darts, and a welcoming atmosphere. The service is excellent, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the crowd is always friendly. If you're looking for a local sports bar or lounge near Westgate Mall, Park Lane Lounge is a great spot to relax and have fun.“

“Aloft Sunnyvale on its own is good enough value for money spent. However, what truly stood out was the customer ser ice of its front desk. Shoutout to Michelle for helping me out a ton when I was trying to extend my stay. No excuses were made and she found a way to get it done even under difficult circumstances. Roy was also great with the room upgrade when he saw that I had brought a friend and might have needed a bigger bed. 10/10 Customer Service!“

“It's my first time coming here. Street parking or paid parking lot only. Outdoor and indoor dining. Limited seating inside. Their menu is simple and yet offers enough choices for customers. I love the amount of craft beer choices. I'm glad they support a local craft brewery.

I ordered their No. 1 Hot Chicken Nashville Style Sandwich with fries. I was not disappointed at all. The chicken was crispy in the outside and juicy in the inside. The spiciness was perfect for me. Their fries were thick and well done.

The only thing that needs to improve is the hospitality of the cashier. She seemed like she had a long day based on her flat affect. She did not welcome customers coming in or checked if they liked their food. Other than that, this place rocks!“

“The hotel was well maintained, very cool inside, the rooms were great, the hotel is centrally located and easy to get around. The staff couldn’t do enough for me, they were very kind and courteous. They have a nice gym and a nicer outside pool area“

“The food here is very good but even better is the service. The staff was very genuine, attentive and quick. Maybe the best service I've had in my life. I'm not in the area often but would definitely go again“

“Stopped in Friday and the BBQ Chicken was great. The baked potato had sour cream a butter. The beans were very tasty. The price was great and so was the service. I'm going to come back and try the breakfast and might add a bloody Mary. Nice bartender.“

“Been hitting Normandy House a few weeks while on a temp gig in Santa Clara—in from cowboy country where a solid where a still shot is sometimes mandatory after a long day.

The Pareto thing always cracks me up: 20% of people do 80% of the work, and 80% of the gripes come from the other 20% like some clown reviews here. But everybody here has been super cool to this out-of-towner.

Trin especially—she makes a killer Long Island, best around and always keeps things chill.

Great spot, 5 stars easy. Gonna miss it when I head home.“

“I had a great cheese burger, salad and beer. Thank you folks, I was well taken care of.“

“muy sabrosa birria es la mejor birria q he probado“

“I love the patio. It's a warm welcoming watering hole filled with great people!“

“Always great atmosphere electric.“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

“The ambiance is chill to have meetings here. My friends like it too. I don't drink, so the bartender always makes me the best non alcoholic drinks. Everyone is friendly here. I've been coming here for over fifteen years because I love the location and the customers are always cool people.“

“Awesome rooftop bar with stunning views and great cocktails!“

“Fred’s is the best Monday trivia and Thursday Karaoke“

“There is usually a split of either good food or good drinks when it comes to happy hour, this place comes close to both good. We were seated promptly at a booth since it was after 4pm on a Monday. Daisy helped us with drinks and appetizers. We chose poke nachos, chicken wrap with lettuce, hummus with bread, all meat pizza, poke nachos and calamari. The drinks arrived and the appetizers quickly followed. The calamari came with a red sauce and a slightly spiced tartar sauce, good crisp. The hummus, a friend's go-to, had a nutty flavor. The poke nachos had a crisp fried wonton wrap, I was hoping for larger cubes but the flavor was nice (not shoyu) and good texture. The pizza was great, the proper thin crust with meat and cheese. A friend chose the chicken lettuce wrap with 2 sauces, peanut sauce and Thai sweet and sour. The chicken and peanut sauce had a bit too much of ginger so she did not like it as much. The chicken was a little dry. The beer is what our friend likes and he tries a different one when he visits. Serving size was generous, service was nice and efficient. Parking at Santana Row can get crowded. We parked in garage off Winchester Blvd after Tatum. It is free for the first 2 hours.“

“Great restaurant“
