“Ok. Segovia’s is the kind of place that’s getting harder and harder to find. I moved back to the area from Boston thinking this kind of place didn’t exist. It’s a real neighborhood bar, and it’s been one for a long time. People know each other. Somebody’s always got a crazy story going, somebody else just got off work at the same place you just had dinner, and you’ll see them unwinding at the end of the bar, and if you’re new nobody makes it weird, you just end up part of the conversation. Kat and Ali run the bar and they’re honestly some of the best around. Not just fast and good at making drinks. It’s how they treat people. They listen, they’re straight with you, they keep an eye on the room so nobody gets overserved or left out or taken advantage of. That kind of integrity behind a bar is rare and they make it look easy. Brandon Segovia deserves credit for that. The place has been in his family for generations, and you can tell he takes that seriously. There are regulars who met here and are now close friends, some of them for years. That doesn’t happen by accident. Lots of bars around here. From Ocean to Fremont. Very few that have been around this long and still actually mean something to the people who go to them. Segovia’s is one of them, and it’s worth your time. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it.”
