“As our company travels all over north America we find cool and fun places to eat. After a long day of work we stumbled upon Molly O's. What an absolute treat of a location. The food was absolutely delicious and our server Abigail was so sweet and attentive. When it comes to food.. im trying to convince everyone while still sitting at the table to come back tomorrow night after work again. The sheppards pie, even if not made with mutton was absolutely fantastic. The fish and chips were seasoned so well and were perfectly crunchy. The spicy Irish was equally delicious. If I get my way tomorrow night we will return again so that I can have my own shepards pie all to my self hah.

Update Feb 06 - I have managed to make my way back to Molly O's to indeed have my own sheppards pie! I also had their bread pudding which was also delicious. Our server today was Nicole and she was lovely. When our company makes it back to this area again we will be returning here!“

“The bartender Michelle she’s good and hard worker“

“Suzanna and Ashley are the best bartenders there oh and def can’t forget about Tiffany“

“Amazing ribeye and great vibes!“

“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.“

“Our band, Drini & the Bad Kats Band, played at the venue for the first time last night. The entire staff, patrons and owner were great. Our friends loved the venue as well. I’ve been for Karaoke Nights several times and have always had a blast as well. The drinks are strong and delicious, just like I like em. Lots of space to move around too. 🤗🎤🎉“

“If you're visiting Sunnyvale and are looking for the dive bar vibe, this is your jam. Darts, old school console video games, pool, Golden Tee. Bartender was fantastic. Sandra worked Sat day and Sunday nights and she served us both days. Top notch service. We'll be back when we come back to town. PS no food but we were able to order food to be delivered and they have an authentic dumpling house next door if you get hungry. 😀“

“Been in the area for work a few times in the last couple months. I found this place on my first trip out here and couldn’t have stumbled upon a better place. They don’t have a kitchen, but you can find some of the best food trucks parked outside the front door regularly. A great place to watch sports and hang out where the locals do. From the owner to Jessica behind the bar, you’ll feel right at home.“

“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!“

“Can I give it 10 stars for atmosphere? Maybe 1 or 2 for food, but that makes it even at 5 stars. It's a historic dive bar that has character from its many years of pouring drinks. It's the absolute opposite of many of the bars/restaurants just down the road. Those are nice too, but cannot keep up with the character at Pioneer...“

“sports atmosphere....patrons are awesome, jukebox I love and the bartenders are awesome...“

“Great beer! Especially the Belgians. Friendly bartender.“

“Went here twice for a film screening and Dust Breaks' EP release party—both different and great events! Good vibes, warm & inviting while having great staging for different kinds of events to play with. As an artist myself, I'd like to play a show here in the future for its vibes, drinks, easy access to food along the area, and friendly service! Shoutout to Allan for the friendliness and tech help!“

“We came here to watch the 49ers game. What a fun old school bar with great service. Even though they don’t serve food, they brought in pizza for everyone.

Katie is a great bartender. Very kind and attentive. AND she makes THE BEST lemon drop.

There’s even a table shelf for board and a pool table available.“

“good chill place to hangout and have drinks and shoot pool with the locals. everyone there is chill“

“Solidly delicious! The prime rib was great. The Yorkshire pudding and crème brûlée were also standout highlights. In my opinion, it’s not quite on the same level as House of Prime Rib, but it comes pretty close — and it’s way easier to snag a reservation.“

“Karaoke with Ben on Thursday nights is always a blast. Good parking in front and rear, good bartenders, drinks, 2 pool tables, dart board, clean bathrooms, and a relaxed low-key dive bar feel. If you're looking for a local hideaway, then The Harbor is your refuge.

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“It's a good old fashioned pub. Nothing fancy, just a nice comfortable place to have a drink and make a friend. There is a large outside area where you can smoke and have a drink, which is hard to find. It's my go to place after a hard days work. The service is the best !!“

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

“Rolled into town on a Wednesday, looking to book a late night party on the upcoming Saturday. Monica behind the bar grabbed the owner Malhi from next door. They were both super helpful and made it easy. Had a great time with good drinks. Even pumped our own music through their sound system. Nice looking place with chill vibe.“

“Greens are true and the range has a helpful computer system“

“Had a wonderful, fresh breakfast and a nice dinner at the restaurant in The Westin in Palo Alto. The breakfast I chose was the bar which included eggs, bacon, potatoes, and French toast. Cereal, coffee, OJ, and toast was available as well a 8 varieties of fruit.For dinner, I started with the cheese plate and finished with the Soleil Burger with Gilroy fries. Long Islands were outstanding. The cheese plate was excellent and served with toast. The burger was cooked to perfection with bacon and cheddar.“

“Great way to spend some time.! Friendly people every where. It is realky great when you win too! Lol“

“I loved Lorena's service, she is super professional and detailed with her hands and products. She relaxes you and makes you conscious. She makes you feel like you are in the clouds. Of course I highly recommend her. You will not regret it. You will return and above all, the results are instantaneous. thank you ? My Lore“

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

“Always great atmosphere electric.“

“An interesting place to stop for lunch if you’re at Moffet Field. And it has a dog friend patio. The bar was closed on the Wednesday we went, but the grill was open.
This was apparently the former Officers Club building and sits across from the looming Hangar One.
Both the patty melt and Philly cheesesteak were tasty.
Don’t miss the Moffet Field Museum across the street.“

“Le banc is just what Los Altos needs! A low key, no frills bar with good drinks, TV’s to watch your favorite sporting event, darts and the ability to bring in your own food of choice. This place has just the basics and is run by great people who know the biz!“

“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.“

“VEN Y PÁSALA SÚPER ,tenemos Dj de jueves a Domingo de 9pm -2am“

“Great selection of beers!“

“Great local sports bar for casual drinking where you can count on some cheap drinks and kind of loud music. I’ve been for multiple occasions, including a large birthday party and karaoke nights. It can be crowded to a point of not having available tables or bar space. Service is usually decent, but sometimes when they’re overwhelmed, they will deny making certain drinks. They have a signature spiked lemonade that is pretty good. There’s a pool table and a few barely working arcade machines. I always go when looking for a cheap bar that’s open in the downtown area.“

“Great venue for parties & just a nice place to have drinks. Beer selection is fabulous as is the atmosphere. McGoverns bartenders are fun friendly & helpful. There are numerous games to enjoy playing from table hockey, billiards, checkers, pinball, ect. If you walk in solo...you’ll find yourself with plenty of friendly people & conversation!“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“Good food and drinks but Very pricey. Great staff. The food is pretty good. There is a young girl that works in the kitchen that's just Very rude and off-putting for no reason. No matter how nice you are it's like she has something against you. But all in all a great place.“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Came here for a business dinner and it was fantastic. Service was attentive but not annoying, food was delicate and delicious and the drinks did not disappoint. The atmosphere is my favorite part of the restaurant. It was a perfect evening and we got to watch the sunset.“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience at Ray’s Grill. Everything was great, we had such a great time.We went there on a Sunday for lunch and the place was empty. Service was good as well and super quick.We got a poke bowl, fries, wings, sandwich and a butter squash salad.The nachos were awesome loaded with cheese and guacamole. Better than in some Mexican restaurant.“

“A bunch of us went the other night , Great Place very clean lots of tables, Plan on having a company party there this summer ! Highly recommend“

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.“

“The do called "inclusive" atmosphere is really just an owner who hates everyone who has different views. If your social or political views are woke, you aren't welcome. Spend your money elsewhere. This guy is an idiot.“

“Great owner! Great Staff! Comfortable surroundings! Gotta be there!!“

“The interior design is so beautiful and welcoming. The service was amazing they were very knowledgeable of the menu and helpful. The food was so Felicia you get so much variety for what you pay for. We went for Valentine's Day and had an amazing time.“
