“Cool place, it was my first time here with friends. It's a local in Fremont close to home. My friend one of them had beer and the other one and myself had water. We were treated very well. We didn't order any food as we came here after dinner. We played darts and enjoyed the DJ music and left before midnight. I might go again to this place. There are pool tables and other games to play and engage with friends or dance on the floor. The cool vibe and servers are very friendly and helpful with the service.

Parking: Less parking spots but the ones are there, they are free.“

“This is a bar that has a fine dining element without the fine dining prices. Chef was the former sous at Range Life which has a Michelin bib gourmand, so the small plates have a fun and eclectic but elevated feel.

I probably wouldn’t recommend here if you are a “steak and potatoes kind of person”, because they dont have “basic” food like the other places in town. They keep the menu pretty small because they dont have a full kitchen, but everything has been top tier so far!

I actually like coming here on slower nights (thursday and sunday) because it just has a very familiar and cozy vibe, like im at some secrete club where the staff knows my name. Friday and saturday are very fun with high energy in the dining room, but it’s almost impossible to get a walk-in table for inside since they only have 5 tables and a small bar. Definitely make a reservation!!

If you come for their “after dark” menu they have different drinks and spam musubis, and you just feel very “cool” hanging out here because of the ambiance. This place definitely has SF, Oakland, or even New York vibes which is unique to the area.

They also have a photobooth, cute back patio, and a vinyl dj twice a month!

10/10!!“

Honeycomb Cocktail Lounge Cocktail Bar • $$
2321 First St, Livermore - 6.02 miles

“I would say this place has some vibe and makes a strong first impression the moment you walk in. The mirrored entrance room is really unique, and once inside, the place feels stylish and cozy, though the lounge area does get a bit tight, especially on a busy Friday night. The bar itself is beautiful with the lit-up marble top that really stands out, and the spacious unisex bathroom was a nice surprise.

The holiday atmosphere was a big plus. The giant, glowing Christmas tree in the middle of the lounge and Christmas carols playing in the background made the whole place feel warm and festive.

Food-wise, the chicharrones were very well! seasoned and are a must-try, especially paired with the guac. The smoked old fashioned lived up to its name and was extremely smoky, which will appeal to anyone who enjoys bold, heavy smoke flavors.

The only downside was the service. Even though it was busy, the attention lagged, and we ended up waiting over 20 minutes for our drinks, which took away from the experience.

Oh, and make sure to validate the open hours and get that password on the Instagram before you get in.

Overall, it’s a stylish and festive spot for cocktails with a great atmosphere, but quicker service would make it an easy five stars.“

Trust me, all the other ones are way over priced even for their “happy hour” prices. I only come here for drinks so I can’t review the food.

Possibly cider other than apple, there are so many other flavors that go great with Italian food, and maybe a sweeter less dry white wine like a resiling. Other than that, it's a fun place to go.“
