19 Best Wine Bars near Livermore

“great music and fun! I love the staff...and the popcorn. such a fun local community...“

“This is a bar that has a fine dining element without the fine dining prices. Chef was the former sous at Range Life which has a Michelin bib gourmand, so the small plates have a fun and eclectic but elevated feel.

I probably wouldn’t recommend here if you are a “steak and potatoes kind of person”, because they dont have “basic” food like the other places in town. They keep the menu pretty small because they dont have a full kitchen, but everything has been top tier so far!

I actually like coming here on slower nights (thursday and sunday) because it just has a very familiar and cozy vibe, like im at some secrete club where the staff knows my name. Friday and saturday are very fun with high energy in the dining room, but it’s almost impossible to get a walk-in table for inside since they only have 5 tables and a small bar. Definitely make a reservation!!

If you come for their “after dark” menu they have different drinks and spam musubis, and you just feel very “cool” hanging out here because of the ambiance. This place definitely has SF, Oakland, or even New York vibes which is unique to the area.

They also have a photobooth, cute back patio, and a vinyl dj twice a month!

10/10!!“

“The food was great and delicious. Had a decent drink menu as well. The service was good. Though we got good service, the lack of experience in the service staff is evident. It is something the restaurant can improve on. Planning to visit again and give Cafe Calamari 5 stars with the improvements made.“

“Great wine and wonderful music tonight.“

“Came by on Saturday after July 4th.

Pretty busy, but still had openings.

A bit awkward at FOH with some disorganization. Nonetheless, we were able to get sat outside. Chair's cushion kept falling through for some reason so that was a bit annoying.

Tasting cost is $30/per head.

Decent weather.

Parking available on-site.“

“We are visiting from the uk and always love to visit Cattlemen’s in Dixon. We have been twice this vacation and both times were fantastic! We visited last night, 13th August and were served by Jess, she was just amazing, everything was perfect, food was out of this world and we were looked after with impeccable service and some great humour thrown in! Jess, you are a credit to the restaurant! Both of my daughters loved the great ambiance of Cattlemen’s. Thank you again, one of the reasons why we love visiting this part of Californi. Thank you again.“

“I met one of the owners here. She’s a very likable person and cared about the clientele. She was standing outside of the restaurant in the courtyard. I started a table where we met with a bunch of classmates from the 1970s. The food was healthy, tasty, and good the service was excellent. I’m just surprised that so many people are missing out because the place was empty. Anyone who does not make use of this restaurant is foolish because it’s a great place.“

“First time patrons loved everything about our experience food was delicious generous portions did not go home hungry great customer service and definitely will go again, we want to try everything on the menu Bravissimo Gracias por la Norte“

“Great welcoming staff & Fun 🤩 crowd“

“Great club, very organized and superb teaching philosophy for the game. Their approach resonates well with me and as an avid fan of the game I am very pleased to have my kids in it. In addition, their Futsal club, the Bulldog FC, is one of the best I've ever seen at augmenting the kids' ability to play quick and develop their one-touch passing/skills. The staff is very helpful, friendly and experienced making the club very strong. My kids love it!“

“Came through to Pleasanton to visit my German cousin and we stumbled across this nice little Austrian restaurant. He hadn’t been to downtown in a while and this was a nice surprise for him as he didn’t know this place existed. The inside was nicely decorated and was a good looking bar. The seating was a little bit crammed as there were a lot of small tables inside. The food was on point and really hit home. I especially liked the spicy bratwurst as it was a lot spicier than I was expecting for a European style sausage. It was a pleasant surprise. What was strange to us was both servers available did not seem to comprehend what we were ordering each time. We pronounced the food and beer names as they would be in German and they had no clue what we were referring to until we pointed. One even asked us if we were sure the restaurant had the item we requested even though we were literally reading off the menu. It seems like the staff could use some additional refresher training. Other than that, it was a cool spot for some Austrian/German food and drinks. We’ll be sure to visit again.“

“Great food, great music, great beer!!!“

“We always enjoy the sitting outside people watching and getting excellent service and food. My wife inevitably gets one of the specials- and loves the seasonal change in the menus.“

“What a cool spot! Exploring downtown Pleasanton for the first time, this was the best place on the street by a mile. They’ve got so many great import liquors that I hadn’t seen before at other spots. There was a lot of Italian foods and drinks as well as stuff from other countries. The second floor is a little wine bar that overlooks the store and had great vibes. It seemed like a great spot for locals to hang out. The owner was very friendly and gave us the time of day to learn about the stores history. Also we were lucky to be there when the local fungi master was visiting with his recent forage finds. Cool French dude!“

“Food and cocktails were good. Table water tasted like tap water.“

“Food was great and so was the service…. Securely going back again!!!“

“The food was wonderful. Flavorful with beautiful plating.The restaurant was a simple but classy environment. Just the type of place I like to enjoy a meal.“

“10/10 one of the best experience we've had! Personal cocktail making class for the two of us. Charlie was so kind and had such a great way with us. We got a charcuterie board in the middle of our class which really added to the experience. We would really recommend this to everyone. Top experience“
