50 Best Bars near San Bruno

“Stumbled upon this bar while waiting for a flight, and I’m so glad we did. Our bartender, Nile, was an absolute ray of sunshine. He was so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Great conversation, great energy, and he made our unexpected stop so much more enjoyable. Definitely the kind of bartender you remember, thanks, Nile, for making our night!“

“Good service and good food!!!“

“Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Waiters were super friendly“

“Absolutely love this place! We recently had a pre-wedding family dinner here for about 50 people, and we ordered party platters. The planning process with them was easy, and they were great about making sure I didn’t over order.

Everything was delicious! I’m especially obsessed with the blue cheese they had on the cheese platter, and hands down their fish and chips are the thing that keeps me coming into this place.

In addition to how tasty everything is, the staff is what seals the deal on this special place. The hospitality is genuine - feels like you’re hanging out in Auntie’s back yard. They even have a photo booth which always is a plus! The inside of the bar is gorgeous, and as someone that’s been coming here for years now, I can attest to how incredible the glow up of the back patio space is - BRAVO!

TLDR; if you’re considering having a larger party/event here - DO IT! I truly love this place.“

“Best dining experience I’ve had since I moved here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant 💚💚💚“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

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

“Brunch here was excellent! Lots of choices. We decided to try the lemon ricotta pancakes and crab cake Benedict! I am not a pancake person at all, but these were the best pancakes ever! Just a hit of lemon and so good! Since I’m from the east coast where MD has the best crab cakes, t totally enjoyed these crab cakes! Different in the ingredients but still lots of crab meat and no fillers. Drinks are all excellent choices! So if you live in or planning to visit San Francisco, give this place a try. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Bartender Marcus makes the most amazing fancy cocktails. I'm not even a whiskey drinker but my drink smelled amazing. The photo display in the back of Pride photography was so interesting I made my friends come see and choose their favorites.“

“Absolute great vibe!! People are super amazing. Music is great. It is our number one go to bar in the sunset!🍹☘️“

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

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

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

“Great place great food. Love it“

“I don’t say this lightly… Bryan makes the best espresso martini I’ve ever had, he has this drink dialed in. The freshly grated cinnamon with Mexican chocolate is a next level touch. This is what dreams are made of. And the music is the cherry on top.“

“Just visited Asiento for the 1st time and really liked it! Fun vibe, bartender was really nice, had some super tasty carnitas tacos, and there was a great dj playing (and the music wasn't so loud we couldn't talk). Would definitely go back!“

“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.“

“Extremely cool beer and wine bar. Accepts cards. Really cool historic interior with pool, darts, private booths, and a really snazzy outdoor patio that is really well decorated with plants, lights and pergola accents.

Will definitely be back next time I’m in the neighborhood!“

“Really creative space and community! It’s an old establishment too. I remember walking it as a kiddo not knowing what it was and I know my whole family and I felt safe. I felt safe as an adult going in to hang out and socialize too. Thanks for being a beautiful and rather humble community throughout the years!“

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

“Great experience!!! Loved it m/“

“Had such a lovely time at this quaint B&B in SF. The staff was very friendly, as were the other guests. The breakfast had a nice selection of pastries, and the coffee was plentiful 🥐 ☕️ The room was cozy and pretty clean. Loved having the wine social hour in the evening - twas a perfect chance to hang out in one of the many outdoor areas 😍 Great neighborhood too!“

“Lively environment and customers. Really fun!“

“I love this bar! As a Mission native, it’s one of my favorite spots to grab drinks with friends. The margaritas are always great, and the atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming. Don Francisco is amazing, he always checks in to make sure everyone is doing well and often brings out snacks, which is such a thoughtful touch. This is my go-to place for a chill drink or to kick off a night out in the Mission. Highly recommend!“

“Lavay Smith sings there on Sunday evenings“

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

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

“Great venue. L, X“

“One of my favorites in SF! Food/wine list constantly changing with seasonal offerings. The team delivers excellent and efficient service as well. It's compact but not overly loud. Sitting at the bar next to the open kitchen is a great way to experience Buddy.“

“Honestly, I just went to the door and like some other people, apparently confused it with the kilowatt. But this used to be the Odeon. It was my hangout for years and years until Chicken John sold it.

I love that bar and I’m completely excited that they still have John Law’s wonderful neon artwork

The guy at the door was super friendly, and I am stoked to go back“

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

“Amazing“

“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.“

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

“A great place to meet friends or hang solo while enjoying tasty food and well crafted cocktails. The staff is so attentive and we love sitting by the windows and watching everyone walking by enjoying the neighborhood. Our favorite Castro bar.“

“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!“

“On weekends they serve food and offer regular pool leagues for all levels. The regulars are friendly and open to talking to newcomers. If you’re from the area you need to go! They embrace locals and make you feel like you’ve always been there. Their shirts are great too and the smoking patio is a huge plus since it’s right out the backdoor. It’s a real SF institution with a ton of history and an even better staff of bartenders. Definitely one of my favorite spots to hang out in the city!“

“Such a lovely wine bar with a calm, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful décor. The owner truly knows wine inside and out and took the time to explain everything in detail when we asked. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and care put into the experience. Definitely a place worth coming back to“

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

“Beloved quiet local spot!“

“The food is absolutely stunning. Everything is fresh and the flavors mix amazingly“

“awesome. especially in the daylight!“

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

“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.“
