50 Best Bars near San Bruno

“Was in San Bruno on a Thursday evening and we ordered take out but wanted to hang out more so I looked up any bars or dive bars around. I called and asked if we can bring in outside food and I think the Irish Owner answered and he said yeah sure you can bring whatever you like. So we brought out Korean fried chicken close to around 9pm and pretty much had the whole place to ourselves in the beginning. He let us turn the lights on by the table and Christmas tree and we started with beers to go with our Korean fried chicken. And we later ordered shots. It looks like they have usuals that go there. They have a pool table and play pretty good music and it wasn’t so loud. There weren’t any other places open around it and it felt really safe, there was street parking right out front. So the best of both worlds to catch up and grab a drink with friends, plus for being able to bring outside food. The owner worker was so friendly and inviting.“

“Good service and good food!!!“

“Chicken was very tender & delicious. I loved that they offered okra (came with some shrimp too). Pot stickers were just ok. The kitchen is open late (think she said 12:30am). We ate there about 9:30pm after a flight home, and there were plenty of other tables eating late on a Sunday night. Full bar & beer on tap. Great late night spot & veggie options.

Parking: We got there late, and the parking lot nearby was free at the time (after 8pm?). There's also street parking.“

“Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Waiters were super friendly“

“Best people, best beer, insane genius level FRIES!!!“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“Had a great time, around a few drinks with friends. It is unfortunate that the beer garden area backs on a dilapidated lot. The thin wall is not enough to contain the rather unpleasant smell of what seems to be used as a public urinal and smoking point.“

“Consistently one of my favorite spots. The service is always outstanding - attentive, efficient, and welcoming. The food is delicious; high quality, generous quantity, beautiful presentation. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, though it can get a bit loud.“

“Good selection of draft beers and an excellent food menu. Not your average sud slinging pub, you won’t be disappointed after frequenting this establishment.“

“This was a lovely last minute date spot before a movie! We were able to get seating right away, and the service was spectacular. We ordered two of the pasta dishes and a glass of wine - all of it exceeded our expectations, and we were disappointed to have to rush out of there so quickly to catch the movie. It also seems like a great spot to go with a group - plenty of seating and no wait. The owner was lovely, we look forward to going back soon to explore more of their wine menu!“

“Absolutely amazing food . Came here on a trip from jersey and was recommended here . You won’t regret it .“

“Saw LA witch at Killowatt and it was amazing.“

“Great drinks and space both outdoors and indoors.“

“Lively environment and customers. Really fun!“

“Ocean Ciders is a coast side treasure. An incredible cider selection, great music and probably the best location ever, just feet from the water.“

“We love coming to Wunderbar, and whenever we bring friends here, they love it too, and we have a blast.

Kiernan is always an incredible host from the moment we walk through the door. He is warm, fun and thoughtful. He knows his drinks and delivers a phenomenal level of service and sets a high bar - not just for Wunderbar, but for all high-end cocktail establishments.

All the bartenders are fantastic, from Selina, to Andrew, to Brandon. The drinks are always on point. And of course, the endless supply of warm buttery popcorn is a great bonus!“

“Great experience!!! Loved it m/“

“My experience here at Bar TZA was amazing. The customer service was great from the start, got greeted by the owner himself. The drinks were so good and the amount of alcohol they put is not overpowering. The watermelon margarita (chefs kiss). The food we ordered the sliders, the tacos dorados and THE WINGS, BOMB!!!!! Later on during the night they opened the dance floor the music was great. (I forgot my phone at home and I was having so much fun that I even forgot about my phone) so overall experience was great.. if you’re looking for something casual good food drinks and music. I definitely recommend.“

“Came here for a friend's bday party and the patio was reserved!

Good:
- The open face sandwich was so good! I liked how the dish was like a take on an avocado toast, but with a lot more flavor
- Food came out quickly
- The kale salad with chicken was so good - the chicken was tender and crunchy
- Nice staff who checked in on us pretty often
- Nice place for a birthday party

Bad:
- It is pretty expensive overall!

Overall the experience was good, it was decent food, not good enough to go back just for the food though.“

“Great spot! Good bartenders, friendly crowd and laid back vibe. Dog friendly as one would expect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Awesome atmosphere and drinks!“

“Great venue. L, X“

“Can’t beat the rustic atmosphere and the bartender was very friendly and informative.“

“GREAT live music venue with awesome staff and patrons.“

“Funny I have been living for some time in SF and never stepped inside the Last Call. Luckily I didn't wait until the last call to give this place a try. I love the fact that it's low key, no drama. Great selection of top shelf spirits and many brands which you typically don't get to see in other bars. In addition, very knowledgeable bartenders who know and love their craft. Four thumbs up, oops I see double, two thumbs up.“

“Great place great food. Love it“

“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.“

“Friendly crew. Verifying Covid vaccine status to enter. Clean bathrooms and nice outside space.“

“Nice spot to kick it. Not fussy just fun!“

“Best Irish coffee in San Francisco and the three Sullivan s are the kindest nicest bartenders in the country 😎😎🍀🇺🇸“

“Sweet little spot, delicious eats and drinks, friendly staff. They graciously welcomed our motorcycle collective after our chilly holiday ride and managed us well for only having one server that evening. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed this location.“

“The vibes were v cute, v queer, v accessible, in all the ways, except one very important one— this is a queer bar, without any gender neutral bathrooms. It was pretty confusing and upsetting, because what year is it? Also, only the “W” bathroom appeared to be accessible for people with disabilities. Do better, it’s not *that* hard.“

“Great spot for locals or if you wanted to stop somewhere close enough to BART if there are delays or you want an easy escape to it. Limited drink selections and staff, but it's the kind of spot that reminds you that you don't really need all that. I had wanted to stop in for a long time before finally making my way in and glad I did.“

“Favourite neighbourhood bar!“

“The food here is delicious. Its been a michelin star quality place for the 10 yrs ive been going. Killer ambience, great view and the new locatjon is just as good as the old spot on the beach. Fair warning: Its a bit pricey for what you get but definitely worth treating yourself every once in a while.“

“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“

“My friends and I stumbled on this little gem and loved it. The Local Honey beer was divine - not sweet, but vegetal, earthy - and the mulled wine was the perfect mix of spices for a wintery night. Empanadas were on point for a late night snack. Lastly, the bartender was so nice and very knowledgeable about all the drinks, he even offered us samples of beers he thought we might like. They make beer AND wine which is not something you see often!“

“Great experience! All locals and truly the most inviting bar I've been to in SF. Drinks and food are great, with the most reasonable pricing I have ever seen in SF!

It really does live up to its name, and I've made more friends coming away from last night!!! :)“

“My new favorite dive bar in the city. A great blues band was playing the night we went and the atmosphere was fun and full of happiness. Excellent and creative cocktails (the Bee's Knees and the ginger cocktail are very much recommended). Service was exceptional, we'll be definitely coming back! Love this place, A+++

Parking: best to get here via ride share because parking is extremely difficult to find.“

“Great local bar. Been around since 1930's.“

“lovely bartenders, strong drinks, dog friendly, great ambience, ample seating. clearly a place regulars love and newcomers are welcome in. don't take your drinks outside the door, that is a dumb move that I did. high recommend drinking the drinks inside of the bar though.“

“Fantastic food! Awesome take on fish tacos. Great find!!!!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great Bloody Mary’s. Nice view of downtown too. Friendly service!! Great neighborhood. Worth a trip.“

“I went on a weekend during an event, it was pretty packed. The service was faster in the front than the other bar (they have two). They do have food. More rave vibes I would say. The drag show was alright but it all depends on when you go and who you with. I recommend going with a group of friends because people are pretty clicky.“

“Rich dishes, very delicious“

“Wild West Bingo on Mondays at 6pm is authentic san francisco bar charm at its best, with an over the top drag queen hosting while patrons play to win free drink tokens and mystery prizes! Flashing lights and disco music gives a Vegas off strip appeal to the whole thing...“
