49 Best Bars near Millbrae

“I loved the drag on Sundays ! It was amazing“

“Our family enjoys eating at Naked Fish in Millbrae. Their sushi rolls and bento boxes are always delicious. There are many options to choose from between the menu and their daily specials. Their food is presented well and amply portioned. Their service is consistently good and the servers are attentive. Whether we eat a late lunch or dinner with family and friends, we always leave this place full and content.My only criticism of this place is the location. Because the gym is directly above it, more specifically, the weight room, you can hear the weights dropping on the floor on certain occasions and it’s distracting. However, because we enjoy eating here more than anything else, we tolerate the noise on the few instances it’s happened.There is ample parking around, both on the street and in the parking lot next to it.Overall, I recommend you try this restaurant if you’re in the neighborhood.“

“We had one of the best experiences last night. Tim our waiter was one of the best we have had. He was able to find Sprite Zero for my wife's drink. He also delivered a warm chocolate chip cookie with a small scoop of ice cream for my wife even though it wasn't in the menu. His ability to go above the call of duty and not just say no I can't get that for you was so amazing it had to make sure it is recognized. Exceptional service needs to be acknowledge and rewarded. Thanks again Tim for making our night! Oh yeah by the way the food was very good too!��“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“fantastic food and drinks with attentive staff and a lively atmosphere!!!“

“GREAT live music venue with awesome staff and patrons.“

“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.

There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.

Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.

To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.“

“A San Francisco legacy business; old school lgbt hangout with plenty of TVs to watch Niners and Warriors games. The decor is full of beautiful nostalgia; one of the TVs is dedicated to either Xena or some hilarious b-movie with Bigfoot. Excellent drinks (amazing margaritas and whiskey sours) and top class service. Love this place; A+++ ♥️“

“Absolutely amazing food . Came here on a trip from jersey and was recommended here . You won’t regret it .“

“Good place. I'm always leery of bars with giant tvs, but they had cool classic rock on the sound system and the TVs were playing the game silently. So that was cool. I'd go back. Also they have some good beers on draft. The 805 is one of my favorites.“

“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!“

“Best Irish coffee in San Francisco and the three Sullivan s are the kindest nicest bartenders in the country 😎😎🍀🇺🇸“

“I've been meaning to write this review for three years. That's when my wife and first started going to this fantastic bar in Sunnyside. It's always a fun, relaxed, and welcoming experience–for regulars and new faces alike. Good people, excellent beverages, very nice pool table. Shoutout to Rudy.“

“Great Vibe, amazing staff. Great Bartenders, Love this place.“

“My new favorite dive bar in the city. A great blues band was playing the night we went and the atmosphere was fun and full of happiness. Excellent and creative cocktails (the Bee's Knees and the ginger cocktail are very much recommended). Service was exceptional, we'll be definitely coming back! Love this place, A+++

Parking: best to get here via ride share because parking is extremely difficult to find.“

“White cards = classics. Black cards = riffs. No food except free popcorn. That's about all you need to know to have a good time at this speakeasy located beneath Wursthall. I like to sit at the bar, but if you're >2, the tables are probably better. Friendly staff. Great cocktails.“

“I have been here many times, mainly when I travel out of SFO. I’m so happy this place exists, because I usually stop by before heading to the airport. Also this place is 24 hours which is a place and great for passengers that arrive late. They offer many snacks, hot/cold items and a variety of beverages. The staffs here are well trained, very welcoming and listens to your needs. I tried many of their warm food selections which is worth the wait, and it does not bother me at all that I have to wait since I have high patience. They have recently upgraded their menu and expanded their options. I highly recommend this place to all passengers and to anyone looking for a quick bite. I definitely will be back to tryout other options they have listed.“

“Great local home town bar with ping pong, darts, and pool, they've got great live music and fun events like karaoke and open mic. It's also on the bus route, and a great place to watch the game, with great food places nearby. The Long Board is a fun and entertaining place to go.“

“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. 🤗🎤🎉“

“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.“

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

“The best of the best dive bars. Katie is sweet, warm, welcoming and makes everyone feel like a new friend. The regulars here make it feel like home, even to someone who just arrived from the airport. The gourmet food options include Lays, Fritos, Cheetos and Cheez-Its. There's a pool table and shuffleboard. Come for a good time, stay for a long time.“

“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.“

“Then to this place for years! A cool calm awesome fun place to be. When you think of your local dive bar this is the place that comes to mind! Please go in and have a beer or drink. The people who work there and the people that go there are all amazing people!“

“We had an incredible Valentine's Day dinner at La Costanera in Half Moon Bay. The fixed menu was thoughtfully curated, and every dish was delicious — the oxtail entrée was absolutely amazing and a standout of the evening. The atmosphere was romantic and elegant, making it the perfect setting for a special night. Our dining consultant, Veronica, truly made the experience exceptional. When we noticed that each table had been given a rose but ours was missing, she kindly explained that the hostess should have provided one and personally went downstairs to get one for us. Her attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism made us feel genuinely cared for. Veronica is easily one of the best servers we've had in a long time. We can't wait to return!“

“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.

“Stopped in to Newell's for a pre dinner drink. We just kind of stumbled on this place. How does one know where to get a good cocktail when you're an out of towner!?
Well let me tell you about Newell's.. The bartender was fabulous! She wasn't even sure what a certain drink was but she more than nailed it! It was right on! My Cadillac margarita was potent! I managed to wobble out of there to my next destination.. but barely! They do not serve food but our sweet bartender brought popcorn in order to save me embarrassment! It was a fun experience and I think I may have to return!“

“The soulful energy and the authentic community atmosphere of this historic neighborhood lounge make it an absolutely wonderful destination for anyone who wants to experience a real piece of San Francisco jazz culture in an unpretentious setting. I spent a long time enjoying the live music because the performers are incredibly talented and the intimate layout of the room creates a perfect connection between the band and the audience that you rarely find in more commercial venues. I really loved the warm hospitality of the staff and the regulars because everyone is so welcoming and it feels like a place where the history of the neighborhood is celebrated through every song and conversation throughout the evening. The space is maintained with a lot of character and I noticed that the drink prices are very reasonable which makes it a fantastic spot to relax and soak in the local vibe without the high costs typically found in the downtown districts. It is a must visit for any true music lover or traveler who appreciates a hidden gem that prioritizes soul and connection over modern trends or flashy decor. I also appreciated the sense of belonging that the venue fosters because you can tell that it is a cherished gathering place for local residents who have been supporting live jazz for many years. Even though it is located outside the main tourist areas the positive energy and the incredible talent on display make the journey to the Bayview district completely worthwhile for an evening of great sounds. I will definitely be returning here soon to support the local artists and enjoy the legendary hospitality because the combination of the historic charm and the vibrant music is truly a highlight of the city.“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“Super cute rooftop. Pizza one is one of the best pizza I've ever ate. The rooftop smash cocktail is now my favorite drink. I took a picture of the ingredients and made it at home ‍ that's how good it was. Definitely coming back. The customer service was outstanding. I will for sure come back with all my girls so we can day drink haha“

“Stumbled across thid hidden Thursday night karaoke 🎤 spot, leaving my nail shop. Now, I'm a regular lol! If you're looking for a Chill Spot and a great environment and cool people, this is the hidden spot to come to . Shirley is amazing and sweet & so ate the other bartenders. Drinks are good but watered down. I will order a mocktail from now on, lol. After my 4 or 5th time there, I realized they are milking my pockets on their watered-down drinks and might as well order a mocktail, lol! I don't drink anymore... anyways... best way to cut it out, lol.“

“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.“

“Hmmmm, Crazy bar and scary at first sight, but this bar have little very guard secret, they serve Great birria and tacos that are the BOMB........... i have been coming to this place to eat birria on weekend morning for 16+ years...... seriously BIRRIA AND TACOS“

“Nice local bar even lets us play poker on Tuesdays lots of action“

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

“Fun place , check it out sometime“

“Although the brick-and-mortar location may be gone, Chef James's mouth-wateringly delicious empanadas and alfajores live on via the website for catering, shipping, and local delivery. They are perfect to order for parties, gifts, or just treating yourself (as I do).“

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

“Good service and good food!!!“

“Just had a delicious burger here and am very appreciative of Gloria’s service. She took such good care of me while dining here, and I really appreciated her warm and thoughtful service. Burger was delicious, cooked correctly, and very quick to come out. Would come back.“

“Definitely try their Happy Hour frm 3pm-6pm on Wednesdays & Thursdays only.
I like going here after work for their happy hour to catch up with my sister bestie as she works around there. It's quite, serence and very relaxing by the Brisbane Marina. Plus a nice break if you are looking for a quiet me time away for yourself to relax.
Patio area is nice & cozy to chill & enjoy the sun with a beautiful waterfront view.
Food is good with american flare of sliders, chicken wings, flat breads, good selection of drinks, mocktails & beers definitely recommended.
Located on the back side of the Biosiences building with plenty of parking by Sierra Point Yacht Club and San Francisco Bay Trial to walk around the Marina & Pier.“

“We were pleasantly surprised with this place. There is a nice variety of foods available here. The overall ambiance is nice, with several somewhat private places to conduct business meeting. There is a pool table and other tabletop shuffle board. Service was great. Orders can be placed at any number of touchscreen kiosks. When your order is ready you will get a text. Sit anywhere. We definitely need to explore having our admin meeting here next time. Definitely will be back.“

“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.“

“Our waiter, Sinan, was absolutely amazing- very attentive, knew the menu, and professional. My husband ordered a burger and loved it. I had a hot cabbage salad which was delicious. The cheese & charcuterie was good and served with ham and carmelized onions which were yummy. The “aged Gouda” was actually smoked Gouda. I suggest they dim the lights further than they were dimmed on 16 Feb, 2025.“

“Love the happy hour. Anchor Steam Draft and Chicken wings. And the sexy manager is very �“

“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!“
