37 Best Bar & Grill near Emeryville

“This spot is definitely your old school neighborhood bar where everyone knows each other. I was there for a bday celebration.... it was cool for a random eveing. They had kareoke and one pool table. Cocktails seemed to ok for the crowd; no quality wine selections for me so it was a dry night. Overall the music made it was enjoyable.“

“I admire this restaurant! They provide good meals, their menu is decent, The chef in that spot is well trained, I like a lot tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently good, the attitude towards the clients is good. I often go to this place and I not even once was disappointed. I recommend it with no hesitation.“

“Romantic atmosphere. I am happy to check in here.“

“10/10 atmosphere; this place is a little oasis of the true SF and the Mission spirit. Has a pool table and grunge aesthetic, but still plenty of space to mingle and meet new and old friends. Lighting is not as dim as other places, making it more inviting and welcoming + shows off the cleanliness of the kitchen (solid burger!)

Hidden gem“

“Lovely welcoming, friendly, homey feeling place. The food was great and the recommended margarita (who knew there could be so many options) was excellent.“

“This was my 1st visit to San Francisco on my birthday! Hidive was welcoming, with great staff, good drinks, and a great bar top food menu! Started the day out there with margaritas, and stopped back in for some wings and a nightcap at the end of the day. It was great!“

“Good food 🥘 Fun atmosphere“

“Wow... we simply don't know how we have never had a meal here before. It was pre-COVID the last time we were here for a show, but we never had a meal. After our visit late this afternoon, we will be back often! The drinks are great, for sure. And the rustic dining area is an absolutely delightful plus! And the food, well, sure, it's simple pub food, but it is the tastiest pub food we've had in a very long time. Be sure to stop by here for a nosh and a kolsch, or any other beverage. You will be happy you did!“

“The sweetest waitress I've ever had! Food was to die for, the Salmon BLT has me on the floor swooning it was so good. The Lemonade I had with it was not overly sweet and had a amazing lemon level. 10/10 would be an amazing place to bring anyone to, friends, family, first date, and great for coworkers!“

“Best Rugby themed bar ever. Best kept secret in point Richmond CA“

“Joe is great. After our Uber drive dropped us in the wrong place, Joe would tell us how to get there, he took us there. It was only at the end of the block, but meant the world to us. He wouldn’t accept a tip, so went back to have a beer after dinner. He remembered our name. He is the true meaning of customer service and I’ve told all of my friends to go see him at the Showdown. Thanks again, Joe“

“For bar food, this place is great! Chicken fingers were homemade & tender, delicious. Patty melt was fantastic. Great cocktails & beer. Max was fabulous. Nice movies on different screens / TVs on silent to enjoy. Good music. Nice vibes.“

“Awesome venue! Great for parties - lots of entertainment available 😊“

“Friendly service and good selection“

“Spacious hotel bar. Quiet when we were there, late afternoon. I had some decent chicken wings as a snack, and a Manhattan. The alcohol selection is pretty middling for an SF bar -- I initially asked for a Black Manhattan, but they didn't have anything in the Amaro family or weren't familiar enough to come up with substitutions. Bartender was a fun, friendly guy.Wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it gets the job done.“

“I've been going with my family since I was a kid. Great food, great drinks and a great place to be

Parking: They've got their own parking lot right next door

Kid-friendliness: There are games and music for kiddos and plenty of child-friendly dining options

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to get in or out of anywhere“

“We live 5 min away and Overlook is a great easy place to grab dinner in the Berkeley hills. The staff was quite knowledgeable on the beer on tap. And the atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. We're definitely making this a regular go to place for meals.“

“Totally GREAT night with CHRCH, Chrome Ghost, Praying....really excellent staff serving up a comfortable RAWK experience. Damn good SOUND and access to Bands. That backyard!!! Let's get that OPEN again please 🙏✨🤠
Thank You 😎“

“Nice sports bar. I frequently stop in on game days for a beer and a bite to eat. The bar definitely fills up about 1.5 hours before the game. Friendly service, although there's usually a short wait. Great selection of beer and spirits. Food selections are pricey, and serving portions are ample but tasty. It would be nice if they offered game days or happy hour specials.“

“It usually doesn't feel great to be wrong, but this time it did. The menu at Chesty's offers mostly standard American fare options, but there was nothing standard about the execution. Everything was cooked to perfection, reminding everyone at our table that simple things cooked well are often more rewarding than dishes at the latest and greatest spot. (Of particular note: the Grilled Salmon with Meyer Lemon beurre blanc and the Prime Rib).
Add in the views of the SF skyline, the piano player crooning all our favorites, the fascinating exhibits of USMC history (Chesty's is on the 12th floor of the Marines' Memorial Club) and we had a wonderful dinner and evening. Oh yeah, and we lucked into a parking spot out front.“

““The Pied Piper at The Palace Hotel — a living piece of San Francisco's soul.” My partner and I had a reservation at The Pied Piper as part of our 5th-anniversary stay at the historic Palace Hotel. We've always admired the legend — its art, its reputation, and the sheer history that lives within its walls. Finally, we got to experience it. From the moment we stepped in, the staff were kind and welcoming, and the surroundings simply stunning — warm lighting, rich wood, and of course, the iconic Pied Piper mural that holds its timeless charm. Seeing it in person felt like stepping into a painting. Truly a masterpiece that belongs nowhere else but the Palace Hotel. We only had two drinks that night — Lady in Red for me, and Ralston for my partner. Both were crafted beautifully, though the alcohol was a bit stronger than expected (we're light drinkers!). Still, each sip carried elegance and creativity. If I may humbly suggest — the music could better match the setting. That night, the playlist jumped from modern pop to 1950s tunes and back again, which slightly broke the mood. A steady flow of jazz, swing, or timeless classics would make the whole ambiance more harmonious with the bar's history. Music, after all, shapes memories as much as taste does. Also, a few more light bites or finger food options — like calamari, onion rings, or flatbread — would make the experience even more inviting, especially for guests like us who drop by mainly for drinks. Still, The Pied Piper remains a gem — an experience layered with history, art, and the elegance of old-world San Francisco. We'll absolutely give it another visit soon. Because places like this... deserve a second glass, a second look, and another lovely evening to remember. 📸 (Photos: no filter — authenticity only.)“

“The decor and ambience is very modern while still maintaining the original design and foundation. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Place gets busy even during baseball games. Went here before the giants game and was quite impressed. I’d love to come back next time I’m in town. The food and drinks were impressive and left me wanting more. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. You definitely won’t be disappointed if you decide to stop by.“

“Great place to watch a game. Friendly staff.“

“A game day classic, but also a great place to chill with your friends or family on other days in the cozy banquettes. Great space, excellent drinks, and the new burger is amazing.“

“Great service, the waiter was very nice and the food was delicious“
