10 Best Cocktail Bars in Pleasanton

Y'All Come Back Saloon Cocktail Bar • $
5321 Hopyard Rd, Pleasanton

“It’s very rare I leave a review for a bar. If ever. But this one is well deserved.

I was staying up the street and had a long couple days, so wanted a chill place to have a drink.

I stumbled upon a fantastic local watering hole, where you can tell the same folks come here, and for good reason. Good ambience, a few bar games, a digital jukebox, reasonable drink prices… but the service is where this place really hooked me.

(Forgive the spelling) Saren was my bartender and made me feel at home. As a career bartender, I can be somewhat hyper-critical of service from a fellow tender. She not only takes the time to talk to you individually, but immediately turns on the fast-paced service when the bar inevitably picks up when the place across the street lets out from an event.

I recommend this bar to anyone whether a group or individuals. There’s enough to do, people to talk to, and the service is second to none. I’ll be sure to book my next stay in the Bay close to here on purpose moving forward.“

“We had our first lunch buffet here and really enjoyed the experience. The place is nice and beautifully set up, and we were seated immediately. They had a good variety of dishes, and the food was tasty overall. It did feel like there were more vegetarian options, but the spread was still well balanced and enjoyable. We’d definitely consider coming back again.“
