45 Best Bars near Lafayette

“Food was good but a little dry. Wish there was more gravy. Not too expensive either. The staff was great too! Would probably return now that I know it exists.

I came for boozie brunch and I was SOOO happy she came to Lafayette! Unfortunately, that area isn’t used to that level of fun and people called the cops for no reason at all but I’m glad the establishment allowed us to keep having fun.“

“Grew up nearby, The Roundup is the oldest bar I remember, could be the oldest bar in Lafayette, or one of at least. Great to see family and friends at this fine establishment“

“Love eating on the Sun porch and the refills on the ice tea!“

“What a cute spot. Stopped in for a cold drink and to use the bathroom in the middle of a hellishly long wait selling clothes in a cramped crossroads, what a relief to find this spot. I look forward to coming back. I like the pineapple hops cider the server recommended.“

“Solid drinks at solid prices, however the drinks did not seem as strong as other tiki bar drinks.

The interior decor was very tiki themed with old school movies playing on the TVs, there's a pool room in the back with a decent table. No food served but people were bringing outside food in

They're known for the Chi Chi which to me just tastes like a milkshake, too sweet for my palate but people like them.“

“The best! I highly recommend you make a visit and enjoy good company.“

“Welcoming, laid back bar, weekend piano bar action, stellar cocktailian offerings. What's not to like.“

“Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“The staff here are AMAZING! Is this a dive bar? Yes. Are they gonna look at you funny is you try to order a speciality cocktail that you’re used to getting downtown San Francisco? Yep. But that’s the whole point, you’re here to drink traditional and familiar fantastic drinks! I started coming here with friends a while back and over time many of the bartenders and other employees became like friends! As a woman I always felt safe as they had their eye on everything going on, and I always had a blast anytime I came. Specifically, Peppi and Michelle, really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I had to move away and they spent money out of their own pockets to throw my a going away party at the bar. I have never experienced a closeness like this to an establishment where I’m a guest, and it was very appreciated. I am moved away now and very much miss the service and atmosphere I had at Lucky 13!“

“Far and away my favorite bar in the Town. The space flexes for all occasions. I’ve found myself here to work, dance, day drink, wedding after party and everything in between. The drinks are for real delicious and everyone is friendly and welcoming. 6 stars.“

“The Spiced Apple Kombucha was fun!

I walked in on a Friday about noon and there were only 4 other guys in there. The worker behind the bar was talking to someone sitting at the bar. Another guy sitting at the bar seemed to working.

There was plenty of open seating. The space was clean and a whole vibe. The fourth guy was on the couch on his laptop.

I wanted to see if they sold snacks and I didn't see any but the kombucha on the menu caught my eye. The guy behind the computer ran through a simple explanation of what they had on tap and I settled for the spiced apple because it had CBD. I was not disappointed. I look forward to stopping by and checking some other things out.

I'd easily recommend this to others to check out 👍🏽“

“Beer was my menu on every occasion that I visited
If you enjoy the atmosphere of a good cheers like corner bar this is a great place
The special brew delivered by great hosts take me back to a time when a bar was the core social element of a great community“

“Step into the enchanting ambiance of this bar where every sip is a journey of flavor. With an array of amazing cocktails crafted to perfection, you'll be spellbound by the mixologist's expertise. And as if the drinks weren't enticing enough, the staff here are the epitome of charm and allure, making every visit a delight for the senses.“

“Fantastic neighborhood bar. Full of fun people, great entertainment from karaoke to drag shows, live music and DJs. Trivia, skee ball and arcade games. And now bingo. Love the staff and owner.“

“Great selection of beers and wine. I've been back 2 times(many times now) and have had a great time each visit. Nice place to watch sports. The bartenders are all nice, friendly and attentive.I still need to explore the food menu. To be continued...Part 2: the food is amazing for bar food and the menu has many different types to choose from; Burgers, wings, lumpia, wraps, and much more. They offer many different dipping sauces. And some are uniquely made in house.They also offer free wi fi ???Update to review: The food has gotten even better! You will find a full menu with about 50 items and specials every night to keep things new. Every thing I've ordered has been almost gourmet level and delicious. The ownership is doing a superb job on the menu and food preparation.“

“I decided to check out the Boathouse from a suggestion from a friend. I loved the nautical theme and huge patio, which would be amazing to sit at on a nice day. Janet was bartending when i was there. She is super nice, fast, and great at her job. She had the best music playing too! I will definitely be back.“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“One of my all time favorite spots to play pool, bartenders are great, they don’t gouge you for the drinks while having a nice selection of beer and whiskey. Security does a phenomenal job especially when the place is busy and they’re super friendly. With a pinball machine, shuffleboard, and darts it’s tough not have fun while you’re there.“

“great people. amazing beer.“

“The garden is the place to be“

“Great place to meet and grab a drink 🍸“

“Greatest neighborhood bar in the neighborhood😅 Dog friendly too!“

“If you've ever been to Heart and Dagger, then you know it's a quintessential Oakland dive bar.
No fancy frills or eccentric cocktail menus. Just decently priced booze, good music, and plenty of space for good company. The back patio is rather large and a cute little hangout spot with a gorgeous tree and some cool old signage! The only caveat is that it's a smoking patio, so if that isn't your thing, you'll just have to enjoy the inside and front. The staff gets their shit done and will definitely be nice to you as long as you're nice to them! But also, it's a dive bar: don't expect the fine dining experience and just have a good time!
There are lots of yummy food options nearby that you can bring in. Sometimes, they even have a food vendor in the front, but I don't know much about the frequency.

(Also, they play hella movies that range from funny to horrorifying! 🧡)“

“Nu-Rays is a town icon with history. It's the kind of bar locals visit frequently and share stories at great prices on beverages! If you're looking for low lights, friendly bar tenders, and great prices this is your kind of bar. 🥃🍺🍸🍹

Parking: First come first served metered street parking and a few lots with meters.“

“We’re guaranteed an excellent experience every time we go. It used to be a special occasion place for us but now it’s a must go for any out of town visitors (or on those days where we just want everything to go right). The food alone is so good and perfect every time, but it’s really the experience that makes this. I’ve never seen a restaurant run so well. You’ll see owners and staff alike working together to make sure patrons are taken care of. We’ve only had the best experiences every time we’ve gone and truly treasure this place.“

“Warrior's Lamd🏀🏀🏀🏀 Nice AndFun People“

“The bartender Carlie is a true sweetheart. The service is stellar. They give you HUGE Shots here. I've never seen anything like it. She gave me 4 shots and it's like 2+ shots in each drink. Money will spent and they're not expensive. Based on quality of service I would've given them a 5 star review but it's just a dive bar. I'll be back #FACTS“

“Geo Kaye’s in Oakland is the quintessential dive bar experience done right. This place has that perfect blend of no-frills charm and a laid-back vibe that keeps you coming back. But what truly sets it apart is Winston behind the bar. He’s a master at his craft—quick with the drinks and even quicker with the wit. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Winston makes you feel right at home with his warm, welcoming energy. If you’re looking for a spot with character, strong drinks, and a bartender who knows how to make your night, Geo Kaye’s is the place to be.“

“Kerry House, nestled on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, stands as an exceptional local haunt revered by residents for its vibrant atmosphere and welcoming vibe. The establishment boasts a well-curated jukebox and an inviting outdoor patio where smoking is permitted, making it a rare find. Bartenders exude energy and friendliness, contributing to the lively ambiance that has been a hallmark of Kerry House for years. Flanked by exquisite restaurants and charming baguette spots to both the left and right, it's positioned in a bustling area, promising an engaging experience. While soaking in the locale's lively spirit, visitors should be mindful of parking regulations. Ensure you feed the meter or opt for paid parking to avoid the inconvenience of a ticket. Kerry House is more than a bar; it's a testament to Oakland's spirited community and a must-visit spot for an authentic local experience.“

“Tap Hause at UC Berkeley is always my spot for sure! Drinks are top-notch and won’t break the bank. The bartenders, whether students or not, are all about great service. Absolutely love the abundance of pool tables and the vibe is always spot on. Perfect spot for a chill night out. Highly recommend!“

“Great place to sit and have a drink, good jukebox, pool table and friendly staff. You can request sports on one of the three flatscreen TVs. I've been going there for years and new owner seems pretty cool and actually lowered the prices on a few things, go figure.“

“Don't drink, so I ordered a diet Soda. The bartender warned me that he didn't know who's diet it was but that it wasn't that good. He was being nice to what ever it was I had. Disgusting,Horrible diet soda. Everything else was great. Except a Niners glass....Probably because of my Seahawks Shirt.“

“Loved my birthday dinner tonight! Portions small for the prices in our opinion. A scallops main dish with 3 scallops is small. Drinks were amazing, decor fabulous and great service. My son had to go eat more food afterwards as he was still hungry. Bigger portions would be good. Loved everything else! Great choices, appetizers, main dishes and creative drinks were delicious. Kind of surprised knowing they knew it was my birthday that they didn't offer me a birthday "something" to make it special. For these prices I would expect something.“

“Great sitting and nice clean movie theatre 🎥🎥🎥“

“Ordered the cheeseteak and alfredo pasta. The entrees alone were already a 5/5 with the taste and presentation.
Then dessert.
I wanted to try the vanilla bean bar, but they had replaced it with caramel bar and ice cream.
Disappointing but I do like caramel too.
I bit into it, died, and ascended.
That dessert was a 10/5.“

“Great food and comfortable atmosphere, highly recommended“

“Service was off, especially drinks from bar were extremely slow. Ordered a latte to go with dessert but cancelled and settled for burnt coffee. Waiter neglected to mention the special peanut butter and chocolate covered dates had walnuts. My wife is allergic to walnuts so only had a couple of bites. Staff seemed overwhelmed and did not have to dining experience we are accustomed to having on past visits.“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“The food is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this place.“

“Final date night before flight home tomorrow. Sausage plate. The British bangers are super flavorful and juicy, goes great with the spicy mustard sauce! The bratwurst is perfect with the kraut and horseradish. The smoked bison is a bit on the dry and spicy side. Reminds me of a Slim Jim. I wish I tasted more bison, but it's still good. The herbed goat cheese and lavash bread is to die for! The herbs are perfectly balanced with the cheese and spreads so easily on the bread!All paired perfectly with Zin-phomaniac red wine!“
