50 Best Cocktail Bars near Pacifica

“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!“

“Pulled up, service was AMAZING, staff is cool as hell. Everyone is friendly, helpful, funny, immediately made us feel like locals. Great pours. Daniel was an amazing bartender. If you need a chill spot to kick back and enjoy drinks this is the spot!“

“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!“

“5star...best homemade food, prices and portions on the Coast!“

“Lavay Smith sings there on Sunday evenings“

“Love this place so much! Ina, Nick the whole fam and staff are the best! Know you are family and are taken care of when you walk in the doors of the korner store! The food is delicious! There’s a drink for everyone and for whatever mood you are in! Strong,sweet and even non alcoholic offerings! The music is great and they have great event nights - from kpop nights, game nights and even learn and practice your dj skills nights!

“Really cool local bar…..the first time I ever tried Flor de Caña was from here…..all the proofs! Nice crowd, service, atmosphere, good drinks, vibe & bar bites! 👍🏿“

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

“This was my first trip down to this area because I saw the Rabbit Hole on SF Restraunt Week, and I am so glad we came down! The restraunt week deal was great, and the food was delicious. They ran out of dumplings, but they allowed us to sub for popcorn chicken!

I’m gluten free, and I was shocked that so many dishes were gf friendly. It was also super tasty, and the staff were very nice. The chicken was moist, and the sweet potato crust was crispy and light. The waffles were really good fresh, but when they cooled down they got dense fast (so eat them fairly fast). The ice cream was also delicious, the mango was both my roommate and I’s favorite. We’ll definitely be back even not during restraunt week!

Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options!“

“I've known of this place before it was taken over by the current owners. It was not a nice place.Fast forward to now and it has been converted to a neighborhood bar with a relax atmosphere. The drinks are pricey but anywhere you go these days drinks are expensive. I like that on the weekends there is food available. It's a little more upscale than McDonald's but pretty much the same style, burgers and fries.I will definitely be back!!“

“dope bar in the outer mission... craft cocktails, chill vibe, and dj’s spinning good music.“

“Amazing food!! Great service !! Old fashioned Portuguese food. The owner is such a classic as he treats all his guests like family!!“

“Has everything. Drinks, vibe and empanadas! Been here many times. In door and outdoor options. Not too loud.

Cocktails are fun. They have a holiday menu too right now. The menu makes it easy to choose with drawings of each. Only draw back is the ice inside is huge soo not as much drink as you think.

The vibe is my fave. Open and chic. Enough seating.

The Empanadas are good. One per order. Chicken, beef, mushroom option.

Staff is chill and always attentive.“

“First time there, food is tasty.“

“Popped in this new place on a recently extra-hot day. We ordered fish’n’chips and the Baja tacos. They use a gluten-free pea flour batter (if I recall), and it’s a nice touch. I didn’t miss the gluten at all. The place has a full bar too. They were showing a baseball playoff game on one of 2 or 3 TVs. Will definitely go back and try some other menu options.“

“Buena comida 🥘 y muy buen ambiente Gracias 🤩 🙌🏻“

“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!“

“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!“

“pretty bartender reasonable beer prices“

“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.“

“We found this bar at the last minute before closing thank goodness. They have 4 big tv for sports and a Great selection of beers and wines. The Bartender Jason was very helpful and welcoming. So glad we are not having to deal with those stupid annoying kiosks popping up everywhere else. Would definitely recommend stopping here while in SFO.“

“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“

“Excellent food and cocktails, friendly vibe and superior service. The blended boozy slushies were so refreshing and well balanced. Great selection of top shelf liquor for the classics. The chicken liver pate is outstanding. Wish I lived closer.“

“Not child friendly. The host acted like we were lepers and seated us at the farthest table with the worst view. When we asked if he could push one of the dozens of empty tables together or if we could sit at a 5 top he declined. Then he came over and asked me to move my purse from on top of the table in case they seated someone else next to us, which they never did. It seems like he could wait until it actually was needed to do so, and he never would need to do so because of the 12 other empty tables and the fact that there was only one empty seat left at ours! The food was great, the wait staff and kitchen staff were outstanding. I doubt we would go back because the host was so rude and made us feel really unwelcome. And for the record, my son has eaten at plenty of fancy restaurants. He’s mature, polite and behaves, so it’s not like he or any of us did anything to warrant this.“

“Great vibe, came for the happy hour burger. Fries were thick cut and crispy. I did wish the burger had some more fresh components (lettuce/raw onion/tomato) but it was juicy and delicious. Server offered to have the burger split on two plates which was nice.“

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

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

“Really nice local joint to check out. The food was great and the bartender and owner were really nice. Good options for non drinkers and vegetarians. Very spacious. Looking forward to coming back for trivia and music. Forgot to take a pic before I was almost done with the food, it was too good to let sit.

Vegetarian options: The spinach balls were really good

Dietary restrictions: Most of the food was dairy free, lots of veg options“

“It’s the best neighborhood diner in the South end of the city. The food is always fresh and tasty. The owner’s, Sean and Andrea put a lot of love into what they do and it shows. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I saw this place pop up near my house and went to give it a try. I got the chicharonnes and the birria pupusas and they were both beyond my expectations. The guy running the store seemed pretty cool too. Hope to be back as long as they're still here. Parking situation is great too.“

“It my cousin’s favorite restaurant, so after services we enjoyed a great meal.“

“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.“

“The filet was perfectly cooked. My favorite, always consistent- I've even door dashed this an it came perfect. 10 for consistency. But the atmosphere and the attentive service makes it even better! Thank you Stella for a wonderful meal! 👏👏“

“great drinks and yummy popcorn. bartender was great!“

“Love The Hangar and so happy it opened as I’m lucky enough to work next door. Everything I’ve ordered so far has been high quality and tasty. I’ve tried the salad bar, tuna melt and japchae noodles. I find the prices reasonable for the area and quality. The entire space is very well decorated and designed. Can’t wait for the bar to open upstairs, check out the upstairs patio too. Oh also the coffee bar is really good too, thanks Eugene!“

“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“

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

“I stopped by to help a friend close. Definitely a cool vibe. Gives you a cheers, dive vibe, yet don't need a tetanus shot after being there. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a spot to relax watch a game, play pool, have a drink or “

“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.“

“Not my first time here. In fact it's like my 7th. In any case I just tried a new dish that I've been eyeballing the last few times we came here. It is the "Pollada peruana " . This is currently on the top of my faves in this place.“

“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!“

“Cute spot for a night cap. It’s a pretty small spot so expect some intimate vibes which was ideal for a date with my man. I got a mezcal margarita and he got the fade into you, we both were trying not to finish our drinks fast because of how delicious they were. It is a craft cocktail bar so expect to pay about $50+ for two drinks. It’s worth it though! I definitely recommend it though. Bartenders were very friendly too.“
