5 Best Dive Bars near 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.“

“Best place to spend time with friends and meet new ones!!!“

“HORRIBLE PLACE!! 😣 THERES A BUNCH OF BUMS HANGING OUT THERE, SELLING DRUGS OR LOOKING FOR DRUGS. ALSO THE BARTENDER MARIANA IS RATCHET I KNOW SHE BE GIVING FREE BEERS AND MONEY TO SOME OF THE REGULAR BUMS THAT GO THERE 24/7. THIS PLACE IS JUST GHETTO. 🤢🤮 STRAIGHT UP TRASH 🗑🚮“

“I always enjoy it here! I will say I really miss Gabi tho! She was such a joy to be around, and a face to look forward to everytime I came in! It is not the same without her! Hope to see her back one day! She brought such positive vibes and a smile that lit up the room!“
