50 Best Bars near San Bruno

“Stopped in to Newell's for a pre dinner drink. We just kind of stumbled on this place. How does one know where to get a good cocktail when you're an out of towner!?
Well let me tell you about Newell's.. The bartender was fabulous! She wasn't even sure what a certain drink was but she more than nailed it! It was right on! My Cadillac margarita was potent! I managed to wobble out of there to my next destination.. but barely! They do not serve food but our sweet bartender brought popcorn in order to save me embarrassment! It was a fun experience and I think I may have to return!“

“Good service and good food!!!“

“One of the best places to get food late night in Millbrae. We've come here a couple times the night before our flight out of SFO and every time it's delicious and the bartender has always been super friendly and poured a great glass of wine.“

“Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Waiters were super friendly“

“Great night at Casements during SF Carnaval’s Fat Tuesday Season Kickoff! Free live music, fantastic vibes, friendly staff and Pliny the Younger on tap. Our Finnish friend (a serious beer lover) called it the “holy grail of beers” and has been dreaming of trying it his whole life.“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“We hosted our team Holiday Party at Lost Resort! Brad and Radha who helped us set up the event were wonderful! They were incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and helped us put together a super memorable event. The staff working the holiday party was absolutely wonderful; they were so thoughtful, attentive, and welcoming. All the festive touches around the restaurant made the event feel extra special, and the food and drinks were a huge hit. Our team had such a great time!
Thank you Lost Resort!“

The drinks are solid and well-priced, and the bartenders are friendly, quick, and keep the atmosphere easygoing and welcoming. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or staying for a few rounds with friends, it always feels comfortable and unpretentious.
If you’re looking for a reliable local bar with good energy and a chill crowd, Last Call Bar is definitely a great choice. 🍻✨“

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

“I threw a birthday party here and I was so pleased with how everything turned out. Debi, the owner is very professional and quick to respond to email and a pleasure to coordinate with. All of the staff were extremely friendly, from the bartenders, waitress and the doorman (who greeted all my guests!). The bar has a lot of seating and is very spacious with great decor. Food is also delicious, which my guests enjoyed. Highly recommend the quesasdillas. Thank you Debi and team for making my birthday so memorable. I recommend throwing your next event here.“

“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.

There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.

Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.

To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.“

“Fantastic food, friendly waitstaff and live music on the weekend. You won’t be disappointed! Great place to bring the whole family.“

“Best bar in the mission. Do you want a perfect margarita with impeccable service every time? No other establishment compares. Best bartender!! Amazing service. Free snacks. 10 out of 10 every time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Me and my best friend came and were sold we had the best espresso martinis it was amazing service was top-tier shout out to Bryan because he was super nice super edgy super sweet I couldn’t have gotten any better we stayed longer than we should and longer than we could because it was just that amazing come again“

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

“Great venue. L, X“

“My friend and I went looking for a day bar for a drink to catch up and luckily they were open around 4 in the afternoon!

This neighborhood bar really feels like a local spot. Well lit during the day with ample counter seating and tables, along with a billiards table for some friendly competition.

Bartender was really friendly and eager to share what beers and ciders were on tap. Selection mostly made up of local drafts meaning the quality was really good.

Love finding these little neighborhood gems and I hope they continue to last for as long as possible.“

“Lively environment and customers. Really fun!“

“Great experience!!! Loved it m/“

“awesome. especially in the daylight!“

“Great place great food. Love it“

“A San Francisco legacy business; old school lgbt hangout with plenty of TVs to watch Niners and Warriors games. The decor is full of beautiful nostalgia; one of the TVs is dedicated to either Xena or some hilarious b-movie with Bigfoot. Excellent drinks (amazing margaritas and whiskey sours) and top class service. Love this place; A+++ ♥️“

“Good place. I'm always leery of bars with giant tvs, but they had cool classic rock on the sound system and the TVs were playing the game silently. So that was cool. I'd go back. Also they have some good beers on draft. The 805 is one of my favorites.“

“Great drinks and space both outdoors and indoors.“

“Great bar that has friendly patrons as well as lots of entertainment. You will often find love entertainment on the weekends, and always loads of pinball.

Bar has quite the selection of craft beers, and bar staff are knowledgeable to help find your perfect pint.“

“We had such a delightful time at Tintos! It was a wonderful surprise to find this Persian gem on Valencia Street. The menu is unique, exciting, and full of delicious flavors you don’t often come across in the neighborhood. Everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared and so tasty. Tintos really stands out as a special addition to Valencia Street, and we’re so glad we discovered it. Highly recommended!“

“Comfortable Like a well worn pair of shoes“

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

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

“I've been meaning to write this review for three years. That's when my wife and first started going to this fantastic bar in Sunnyside. It's always a fun, relaxed, and welcoming experience–for regulars and new faces alike. Good people, excellent beverages, very nice pool table. Shoutout to Rudy.“

“Awesome atmosphere and drinks!“

“Came in at 7pm on Saturday night - lively crowd. Great atmosphere and good service. Even have a pool table in back. Eclectic design combined with cocktail lounge atmosphere. Drink menu are seasonal with interesting ingredients. The drinks are solid and flavorful.“

“This was home for me when I was living in San Francisco. Great people operate and tend to this bar and its community, which is hard to come by these days as the city continues to change. Make sure to go to any of their mainstay events, or a concert! My favorite events were Drink & Draw, KO Karaoke, and Cyberpunk Cinema. You should check it out.“

“Food was delicious. Had a few appetizers. The Brussels sprouts, wings, and calamari was particularly good
Got a cocktail and that wasn’t very good. But would come back and have a beer and food
The outdoor patio is really nice and is covered while also being good air flow
Service was fast“

“Wonderfrul Dubliner bar....so glad it's here on 24th St. !!“

“Great old Skool bar. Bartender rocking on Spotify! good times! good drinks! Good peeps!“

“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.“

“Truly authentic Calabrese style Italian cuisine takes us back to Nonna’s kitchen“

“best tacos 🌮🇮🇹🐍🦅 in San Francisco 🚩🏟📍49ers 🏈 maybe 🤷 😂24th street 💘“

“Great Vibe, amazing staff. Great Bartenders, Love this place.“

“A little pricey, it was a bit challenging to order if you're not sitting at the bar and the service for the food is quite slow as well as cashing out the check. Food itself was good quality although not exceptional but the convenience of grabbing a bite to eat in a place with nice ambiance before a flight can't be beat.“

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

“Loved the vibes of the place, perfect lighting since it’s not too dark nor bright and there was a good amt of seating inside! Ordered a couple of items to split but the fried cauliflower was a crowd favorite- crispy, cauliflower had perfect texture, and went super well with the aioli (even tho it was also good without it). Chips and dip were also delicious, you can tell that the chips are house made since they’re a little thicker than other places which went super well with the onion dip!

I got the grapefruit spritz but also rly liked the Suzuki highball (with yuzu liquor, strawberry Campari and shrub, and soda)! loved it! Both drinks were super refreshing but had the perfect sweetness that made it easy to drink! Their menu drink is super extensive so there’s a perfect a drink for everyone :))“

“Kati is an excellent bartender with great skills in talking to people and making drinks. As a former bar owner, I think she is the perfect person for this pub. Don't hesitate to ask Kati what her favorite drink is! It might become your favorite too.“
