50 Best Bars near Richmond

“This was my first time dining there. Definitely not my last. First class atmosphere, Customer Service and food. I see other items on the menu I want to try. And the best part is the locale. I only live 2.5 miles away from a top notch dining venue on the water. Fantastic!!“

“great food and service!!!“

“location is very accessible. the system is easy to operate. song selections are good. just one suggestion..... need aircon or electric fan because it's summer now.“

“I've been here with my partner a few times and it has always been a nice treat. The service and staff has always been super friendly and fast! I understand the QR code ordering can still be a shock to some, but I can say it has improved since the first time we've used it a few years back. It's fast, clear and I find it more convenient as I can always add to the order at anytime.

We were a party of 4 with one who only eats veggies. We ordered a split pot, premium beef combo, the big veggie combo, lotus, noodles, and fried tofu. The choices of broth are plenty. The mild, to me, is a bit spicier than usual so if you're not used to it, I suggest the normal broth and just add a little hot oil to your liking. That was perfect to start our table off. We added a couple of items later, but that was a good portion for 4 people. Lots of ingredients and broth choices. If you like more customization to your hot pot rather than an all you can eat business model, this place may be a better choice and in some cases, a better value.

After having been there more than a handful of times, I can safely say that I've never had a bad experience there. Always a great date night for me and my partner. With businesses coming and going in today's climate, I'm always happy to see this little corner spot in the mall still serving.

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options ala carte! My partner is vegetarian. The problem with all you can eat business model is that she can't eat most of the stuff yet paying a premium price. This place offers ala carte so we can do a split pot. She orders the veggies for her side and i can eat the meats on my side. Works out for the both of us!“

“Quirky little pub in a nice neighborhood. We stumbled upon it by chance and felt at home right away 👍😀 Unforgettable atmosphere and wonderful people, including the owner, staff and patrons! 🥳🍻👍😀“

“Was strolling the Ave and walked passed this place. I did peak in as I walked by but thought "ooh pretty dead for a Friday". Something told me swing back and head in. I took a seat at the bar where there were already 2 seperate groups on away from each other. A cool chill lad approach me and made me feel welcome and handed the bar menú. I glanced and opted for the Áloe Margarita which was light, fresh and much needed.

After leaving me drink, the nice lad told me his name Danny and saw he already had a lot of kudos on the reviews. Def recommend this place.“

“I love performing their can't wait to go back“

“Came here on a Thursday night to enjoy a paella pop-up and it did not disappoint. Very good and innovative selections of wines along with a fun atmosphere. Especially appreciated the displays of vinyl and old videotapes. An excellent addition to the East Bay wine scene.“

“We were there in the early evening. Meet the owner and his wife. They were so welcoming and friendly it felt like home. Our whole party enjoyed beer, cocktails, and fantastic rock posters. Sully told us about the SF Elk's Lodge, and since we had a member in the group, we visited there the next day. Guess what? Sully was there that day, too. We had such a great visit in the city, and will be back soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍻🍸🍷Thanks again.“

“Last night my friends had a table at a nearby (not to be named) bar that would not let me bring my backpack in.

So I go to bamboo hut and ask if they’ll hold it.

They at first say no (I don’t blame them, I wasn’t buying anything and it was a busy Friday night)

Out of desperation I offered to pay them $100 to hold it

The woman goes to talk to the manager / owner, who comes up and says they’ll hold it.

Then they refused my money. Both of them.

It was a kind, simple interaction that really made the night of a stranger (me).

This review is the least I can do; these are good people“

“spectacular seafood! shrimp and scallops were thoroughly enjoyed and the wine and Champagne pairings made it even better! Only bad thing was, I didn't get a second Tiramisu for dessert! Perfect little private room in back and the 3 servers were on point!“

“Fab bar with a great range of booze and really friendly and helpful staff. Took the time to discuss UK vs USA measures and jiggers with me - fascinating!“

“Nashville will be back! Thank you for a great time. Come see us at Smoked in a Bowl!! 5 ⭐️“

“Amazing place, a bit unexpected when you drive by. Ihad great moments and made best friends. Cocktails are best in region! Try!“

“Best place ever. Real humans being real beautiful weirdos. Music sometimes. Eye candy always. Specs’ is one of my favorite places on earth.“

“Classy S.F. the way it used to be! Amazing European decor and gorgeous staff as well as patrons. This is the spot for dressing up or just sitting at the bar in your tourist clothes. Don’t miss this spot!“

“Yes, it gets busy.

The Double Standard is my Holiday standard in Oakland. They really go all out during the holidays. Drink menu, decor, everything. Their lovely Coast redwoods are the Christmas trees!
Eggnog, brandy drinks, hot buttered rum, antique Victorian sounding drinks in specialty holiday glassware. All delicious.“

“Love eating on the Sun porch and the refills on the ice tea!“

“What a fantastic spot in the financial district! We were staying in town for a wedding, and this was such a great spot close to our hotel. Patrick (the owner) and his team were all a 10/10! Can’t wait to return.“

“omg the food and drinks -- this Foodie has visited 4 times so far... (yes, it's that good) Small menu but super tasty! Stand outs include Treasury Pigs in Blanket, Ahi Tuna Poke, Chicken sandwich, The Burger, and that Fish sandwich!! (fantastic). Admittedly suprised at the tab after 3 rounds of libations (sooo good) -- but the drinks were strong and worthy. Love the chill vibe. Beautiful space, comfy lounge seating. Perfect for FiDi in the historic SF Treasury Building (check out the tin ceiling.) Highly recommend!“

“They're always so nice to me here! Mama loves the craft cocktails and the book curations. We live nearby so it's a favorite neighborhood hang, and we appreciate all the thought that went into the menus.“

“We sat in the back outside which had a clear tent over it. It was open and had good air circulation with a great temperature. The only negative was noise carries, there was a group of 12 adults and kids having a great time but at times it was very loud. The food was on point, highlights, were the biscuits and the truffle fries. Good beer menu and the staff were pleasant, professional and aware of our needs. We would go back without hesitation.“

“Very cool atmosphere but took almost an hour to get our drinks .“

“What a cute spot. Stopped in for a cold drink and to use the bathroom in the middle of a hellishly long wait selling clothes in a cramped crossroads, what a relief to find this spot. I look forward to coming back. I like the pineapple hops cider the server recommended.“

“Most fun and delightful. Aesthetic is nouveau. Bits of island, IKEA and kitsch all in one. The server was just fantastic. One really needs to know where this lounge is. I looked twice, but found no sign. Kava has maintained a really good consistency over time. Booch on tap... yummy.

Vegetarian options: Most everything here, yeah?

Kid-friendliness: Didn't get that feeling

Wheelchair accessibility: 1st floor and big door so probably“

“We hosted our wedding reception here and it was amazing! The willow trees and venue are beautiful, and it's a fun spot to host an event! Our guests had the best time, and the staff and owners were so kind and accommodating. They let us bring a band (they have an area for that already), choose a menu for our hundred guests, and the food and drinks were delicious. 5 stars! Thank you everyone at Bella Cora!!!!“

“Great asian-inspired cocktails. Good vibes and our bartender was very friendly, and did a great job recommending drinks for us. Lots of interesting flavors pairings. We stopped by before dinner on a Saturday, and it wasn't too crowded.“

“Went there with relatives from Ireland. The told me it felt like a pub back home. That is a great compliment. The bartender was also from Ireland and the back and forth banter between the bartender and my guest (Mainly dealt with the different countries they were from) was hilarious. Had great time.“

“Great bar/pub to release the steam after a busy day, just letting you taking it easy. Great playlist by the bartender and a charging brick for your dying mobile as a bonus ;) I specifically enjoyed the playlist - just the place you want to be if your nerves require a little bit of soothing. Just step in and you will be magiced ;)“

“I've never been to a bar I've liked more. Everything about my experience was top shelf. The service was impeccable - attentive, engaging, and helpful. The listening experience was divine. The interior decor was a perfectly executed intersection of mid-century modern and industrial. What isn't to love? A gem.“

“Popped in for lunch to check out the newly opened H&T and loved it. The brisket was delicious with a side of Vaquero beans that packed plenty of flavor as well. I could see the bar is well stocked with a great selection of spirits as well as a bunch of quality local beers on tap. Points as well for having a quality N/A offering. I received fast and very friendly service. Looking fwd to visiting again soon and wish this new business the best of luck as it was obvious that plenty of heart & soul is invested at heads & tails.“

“I loved this place and I had a good time there. I don't drink a lot. I had a single beer here with a friend and I really enjoyed my time while I was there. The bartender was friendly. I had a beer and my friend had a virgin cocktail. Both tasted great! ????

Kid-friendliness: I'm not sure why you would take your kids to a bar. I mean I guess my dad used to and I turned out fine. ? Seriously though, don't take your kids to bars.“

“Halloween vibes year around!“

“A fun dive bar with kind and friendly staff“

“Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“It was my first time to this iconic venue. I saw one of my all-time favorite bands play, Steel Pole Bathtub with the Antler Family opening. This is a quaint little venue and people come from all over the Bay Area. It's also run by all women. It's also not far from the BART station.“

“500 Stars!
Wow I love Gold Palm!! It’s fantastic! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The drinks are amazing, easily some of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere is great, but seriously, the staff really stands out!!!They’re so attentive and kind. Highly recommend!“

“Welcoming, laid back bar, weekend piano bar action, stellar cocktailian offerings. What's not to like.“

“This was my first time in this establishment. There's actually sand on the floor/ground! ID is checked at the door. We sat at the bar. Our bartender was great! She's a great mixologist, hilarious conversationalist, and an asset to the Sandbar.“

“went in this bar Monday afternoon after walking across the bridge... very friendly and good vibe“

“Great location and food. Warm staff too.“

“Strong cider, strong playlist, staffed by legends.“

“Joe is great. After our Uber drive dropped us in the wrong place, Joe would tell us how to get there, he took us there. It was only at the end of the block, but meant the world to us. He wouldn’t accept a tip, so went back to have a beer after dinner. He remembered our name. He is the true meaning of customer service and I’ve told all of my friends to go see him at the Showdown. Thanks again, Joe“

“A saloon with history from 1883! Worth having a beer or cocktail when in Jack London square.“

“Great bar and good food trucks out front“

“Had an absolutely amazing time at tipsea last week. Great neighbourhood bar with lots of cool regulars. And the service was phenomenal, Felix and Monica really took care of us and made us feel special. The drinks were complex and delicious, plus $1 oysters! Highly recommend checking it out if you're in town“

“If you want to sit on a throne in San Fran“

“Really welcoming atmosphere for our group as we were walking around Sausalito and looking for something approachable after a long walk across the bridge. Pool tables, juke box, long bar, cheap drinks. They had some special flavored tequilas they were making some nice on-the-fly cocktails with for some in our group, and we were really happy with them.“

“The best! I highly recommend you make a visit and enjoy good company.“
