The food and drinks are great but whoever they contracted to design their remodel must be the same people that design community college cafeterias cause thats what it looks like now. It went from having a great, dark yet cozy and comfortable atmosphere, with solid wood tables one expects while having craft beer and steak, to now an overly bright, overly open cafeteria with cheap wobbly furniture, and stock image decorations straight from amazon that one can expect while eating a homepacked ham and cheese sandwhich between classes. I dont understand how they could've spent so much on a remodel, be closed for months, and the place be worse! But like I said, the food and beer is good.

Atmosphere was better with the old design. The updated remodel is okay. Just not as cool as it used to be. No more pool tables, bar games or free popcorn machine.

Good beers, outdoor seating and bark bowls for your four-legged friends. Can’t ask for much more!

Enjoyed it quite a bit. Some changes to days open and less on menu, but still a great place. We like to sit at the bar when possible. They have a variety of beers and fun drinks. The staff is welcoming.

Solid happy hour - beer, wine, apps - $5 each. No liquor on HR & they use hot honey as a garnish on too many things (like ceviche). We will be back.

My wife and I finally got to come back after not being here for a few years! Needless to say the place looks great! Angel was our bartender and he was awesome. The deals on their food and drinks continue to stay one step ahead off others in the area. We will always come back to Peter B's whenever we're in town! Until next time Peter B's!

We had such a wonderful experience at Peter B’s! The service was exceptional from start to finish. Marvin was especially amazing—so accommodating with the kids and incredibly understanding. The entire staff was super sweet and made us feel genuinely welcomed.

The happy hour was fantastic, and the amount of food we got for the price was surprisingly generous. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves.

Overall, we had a great time here and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend Peter B’s!

Amazing food! We arrived at happy hour (4-9pm) the $5 fried pickles were 10/10, I had the $5 seared ahi tuna on cucumber appetizer 10/10, the deep dish Pepperoni pizza 10/10, the $5 hot wings 10/10 and the $5 pints of beer? 10/10. Very cool restaurant and kind of well hidden away from the tourists. (I'm a tourist) It is the perfect location for Sunday football! Will be back next time we vacation here.

Was expecting much better. Great bar for watching sports. Great service too. However, both the beer and food should be in the penalty box. I had 2 different lagers and both lacked flavor and any depth. The brussel sprouts, which are staple these days, sounded good but came out like the beer, lacking flavor. The salmon was excellent. For much better beer and food and multiple TVs, go to Alvarado Street Brewery a block away.

After the remodel, it is now one open space so it is super loud. I couldn't hear what my wife was saying. A bunch of TVs, but of course the audio is from the football game and not the soccer game so it is like watching advertisements with a bit of game in between. All in all it was better before the remodel.

Not so hidden, but tucked away sports bar, brew pub and family eatery. I guess it's part of the Portola Hotel. From the lobby, out the large doors to the north then left right away. Can't miss it if you've gotten this far.

Newly remodeled, so less charm, but makes up for it with shiny cleanliness and sparkle which is getting harder to find. Walls of TVs and there was live music when we were there. The space probably wasn't designed for live music, but I know it's a draw for others.

Front, wait and bar staff were friendly and did an excellent job serving our table. Attentive without hovering.

Basic sports bar menu done with a few extras and done better than most similar eateries. We were all satisfied with burgers, sandwiches, pizza and a couple salads which we shared. The crispy n fried items weren't too heavy and the food itself was quality cuts and selections. We're not drinkers but the others in the restaurant seemed pleased. I'm sure the other reviews will chime in.

We'll be back. If you're in the area for a few days I'd put it on your list when everyone in your group wants something different from each other.

Brought my family of 5 here for lunch today! Great place to watch sports and is family friendly. New remodel is first class and extremely clean. Waitress and manager were on top of any need we may have had. Every item of food we ordered was excellent and kids approved as well. Beer selection was good and bar was top notch. Dessert time came and we couldn’t make up our mind, manager comped us the skillet chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream. Tremendous! Don’t sleep on this place it is a hidden gem just steps away from the wharf. Leaps and bounds cleaner than any restaurant on the wharf so it’s wife approved! Will for sure return whenever I’m in the area. Thank you again Peter b’s! 👍👍

I came for the sweet potato tots, which were perfectly crispy and definitely the highlight of my visit. The live music also added a nice touch to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, my server misheard my order and brought out the wrong burger. On top of that, the toppings were served on the side, which I initially mistook for a small salad. Putting it together was awkward, and once assembled, the burger kept falling apart. The flavor was decent but nothing special. Overall, the tots and music stood out, but the burger experience was frustrating, and I’d only consider coming back just for the tots.
