50 Best Cocktail Bars near Millbrae

“I ate there last week for the first time in several years. The menu is large and many different styles of food. I had the Prime Rib and it was EXCELLENT. There was 2 others in my party and they were equally impressed. Another benefit is that there are no parking problems. I will definitely eat there again.“

“Great atmosphere, food and the best Rüdesheimer kaffee, Silvia prepares most of the ingredients from scratch and let me say it is by far the best kaffee I have ever had. Love sitting at the bar, and watch her create this amazing drink!!! Will be back soon!“

“Such a fantastic spot! I originally wanted to stop by The Rabbit Hole to try the beers on tap from Sugoi Brewing (which we're both fantastic by the way), but was blown away by the entire experience. The vibe, the staff, the food, and the prices all exceeded my expectations. We can't wait to come back and try some other dishes. Also, perfect date spot!“

“So I was lucky enough to give this place a try during a closed event hosted by the Seoul sisters and the Hoo Lee Gans. Pretty cool vibe and atmosphere when you walk in. Extensive drink list and pretty skilled bartenders tend to your thirsty soul while the home cooked Korean style street food dishes caress your belly. As it was a closed event , the food was a buffet style, help yourself and gubble it up style. Regardless the food was spot on. I really enjoyed the onion pancake. This dish is as simple as it looks it is actually rather tricky to make. The popcorn chicken was tender, the kimchi zesty yet firm and tender.
I suggest you give it a try and work yourself through their menu.“

“Fun surfer punk dive bar with cheap drinks and outdoor patio, complete with surfboards. Free popcorn and occasional handcrafted wood oven Italian pizza for sale outside. Surprisingly, many big names have played at this tiny beach venue, like The Mummies & Supersuckers! This place continues to create new memories for me each time!“

“Met my wife here how can I not love it!“

“Great spot in the Sunset for a classy drink.“

“I can’t rate the food because all I had was a dirty martini but the vibes were right in this joint! I’d come back for sure and try the food. Can get a tad rowdy but it just depends on the crowd. Overall I recommend this place and I’ll be back myself!“

“Found this gem on a random Wednesday waiting to drop off my. Bestie at the airport after flight was delayed. Highly recommend this place!! Cheap, STRONG drinks. If you are not a professional do not attempt this maneuver without a designated driver!!! Outstanding specialty cocktail menu. Everyone was super friendly. We even got free pizza (that was delicious) from next door.. Didn’t get the bartenders names but they were awesome. After playing Scotty doesn’t know 3 times on the jukebox I k ow they won’t forget us. Even the guy that came in to clean their taps was great. Outdoor patio was cute but it was raining so we didn’t get to enjoy it. Will definitely be back with reinforcements.“

“If you are not looking for overpriced crafted cocktails and pretending wannabes, but for an honest cold beer after work aswell as down-to-earth-folks, this is your place to go.Fair bartenders, nice karaoke on Friday, always someone to play pool against.“

“What a great place. The bartenders are super nice which is really important anywhere you go. They really get to know you and welcome you! The place is also beautiful. Apparently it used to be a dive bar so it has some diversity still because those old patrons still come. So it is not snobby at all!“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“Hannah is so amazing! She’s so attentive and checked in on us even before our drinks were on L (bottomless who?!) and on a Wednesday! She has amazing recommendations! But if you’re a beer bottler like me, make sure to have a cocktail list on the roster because they only have 3 beers on rotation 🫠 we also need to help the owner fill up the rest of the liquor shelf!
Suggestions: Sailor Jerry’s: who doesn’t love a good spiced rum?
Buzz ball bash?! Fall is near us and ya need to do some BOO-zie drinks to entice the crowd 👻
NINERS FANS WHO?! The DEEBO Daiquiri will have you bleeding red and gold at the end of the day 🏈 🍹“

“Really fun place a lot of l great people will definitely go back“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“pretty bartender reasonable beer prices“

“Exceeded expectations. Extensive menu. Highly recommended!“

“I recommend the “Tinga” tacos or sopes 👍🏼“

“The new management (Carlos Galvan) is great! We felt welcome from the moment we walked through the door! Looking forward to the Friday Night Blues Jams. Great music...great people. Thank you Rail Club!!“

“Food was super delicious! Check pea flour fried artichokes hearts we yummy, Deviled eggs are the best starter and a must have on every visit. This was our first time having the Shrimp Louie salad and it is now my favorite in all of SF. It is shredded and ready to eat. Presentation alone has high marks and the flavors were perfectly balanced. We split the Cioppino with the added pasta on the side. Yuu-uuuummmmm! Lots of seafood and the soup base had us making deals for the dregs at the end.“

“The burger was really good. Got the HWC burger with waffle fries, the burger was really flavorful and juicy. Taste wise I had zero complaints.

Overall the meal was sort ok for the price in SF I guess. The burger itself was almost the size of a whopper jr but with more meat. The quality of the burger is great but the size is a bit disappointing. Waffle fries were standard, nothing super amazing nor bad.

If I could just buy 2 burgers for the price of the burger & fries I'd be more than happy. That said, even with the but of criticism I'd go back again no hesitation.“

“This place is great!! Love the Lamb Chops or New York Steak, Bartender Christine top notch, Area Mgr. Samantha always treats me like gold. Mgr. Alexa Luv her so dedicated, Mgr Edgar always on top of things, Can't forget Bartender Alberto! Or Mgr. Gia“

“Great ambience - large screen TVs that need to be updated though - amazing bartender - Jason who pours great drinks and very friendly and helpful - but who has Caymus in small wine glasses - pls help give the good alcohol you have the right respect owners! Thank you!“

“Cocktails and Wagyu - soooo good!“

“Always a wonderful time and great service“

“Amazing, the nicest people fells like family in here“

“We loved our experience here. Super trendy, delicious meat, great drinks, and wonderful service. Really can’t get any better. I also liked that we didn’t smell like smoke and food after dinner.

Shout out to Luiza our wonderful server!

Favorite items: bulgogi, pork belly, seafood pancake, and wagyu skirt steak

Will absolutely be back!“

“Very impressed and Edgar was awesome and super friendly.“

“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.“

“The best Shabu in San Jose and located in the perfect part of San Jose in Japantown, we love coming here to eat Shabu, it is so delicious. I highly recommend it *****five stars the owner Richard treat’s us great with so much hospitality, we just feel so welcomed and will continue to frequent his establishment.“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Hadn’t been here in nearly 30 years, we moved to Seattle, but back for vacation. Had to have the Cancun platter. Just like I remembered!!“

“amazing food wonder staff“

“Such a lovely bespoke atmosphere and the cocktails and bar bites are so artfully crafted. My only disappointment was that I only had time to visit once during my time in San Mateo but I hope to return. Cheers!“

“Beautiful for a quick outdoor lunch. I’m sure it’s amazing for dinner.
I had to grab a quick to go to hop on a train but next time I will be back for a proper meal!
Gio made the whole process fast but also warm and welcoming!
Tiramisu was phenomenal :)“

“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!“

“It appears there have been changes to the drink menu and now some of the drinks don't match what the menu describes (eg perfect dirty martini is not aligned with what the menu says). Loved the addition of brunch specials. Would be nice to mix up the full menu from time to time as well.“

“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“

“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.“

“Pretty cool place. Met a friend who was flying out of SFO - quite convenient for that. Easy parking and Uber service. Very quiet at 10am just the coffee shop open but all the seating areas and the patio were open so a great spot for that - much quieter than Starbucks.“

“Fantastic food and good prices Excellent service“

“A perfect site for relax a have a good time with your friends or just drinks!!!“

“The food here is delicious! We've eaten here several times. The ceviches have fresh fish with delicate balances of flavors, their cooked fishes and meats are cooked perfectly. My eating partner can't get enough of their aǰi de gallina.
I've been to many different peruvian places around the US and this one is my top 3 in the Bay Area for price for what you get.“

“I almost feel bad giving it 4 stars and that is based ONLY on a couple of service blips with our food & drink order. Neither was a huge issue but ones that shouldn't have been made. We ordered two espresso martinis and got two "espressos." Not exactly what we were looking for and my guest ordered dressing on the side and got none. Like I said not huge issues but can't give 5 stars. BUT I will be back for sure the food was fabulous!“

“Great restaurant, the dishes are rich, the taste is great, the restaurant atmosphere is great, it is worth recommending“

“My son took me here for lunch - we’d been meaning to try it. We were very pleased - amazing view with tiered tables so other guests aren’t blocking the view. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious and nicely presented. As a nice addition, there was a pianist playing while we dined which added to the ambience. We will come back because it was such a nice treat. One of those places that makes me love living in California!“

“The Cowboy and chili cheese tots!“

“Went for lunch on a weekday. The menu is mostly breakfast-oriented, so options for a more traditional lunch were limited. Cubano sandwich was kinda unremarkable; not bad, lots of meat on it. Atmosphere and service were nice, but unless I was going out for breakfast specifically I probably wouldn’t go back.“

“Great bartenders, especially Joseph!“
