50 Best Bars near San Carlos

“We recently used Molly O’s to cater our World Cup Final viewing party and everything was fantastic! Raquel was very helpful and a great at communicating. The standout dish for everyone was their sausage rolls. They were a huge hit!“

“The best of the best dive bars. Katie is sweet, warm, welcoming and makes everyone feel like a new friend. The regulars here make it feel like home, even to someone who just arrived from the airport. The gourmet food options include Lays, Fritos, Cheetos and Cheez-Its. There's a pool table and shuffleboard. Come for a good time, stay for a long time.“

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.“

“Fantastic night! Enjoyed Sema and her hospitality tremendously!“

“I got my food to go, and it was ready promptly, and the food was absolutely outstanding! I would recommend this place to anybody!“

“exceeded my expectations, beautifully done. Staff is gorgeous. And not bad looking either. These people knew what they were doing, love what they do, and it exudes through the food and experience.. I will be back a million times.“

“Truly outstanding food for an airport. You absolutely pay a premium for it (prepare to sell a kidney) but it’s the best food I’ve had while in airport transit in a long time.

Liked the look of the Salmon BLT from the pics and it did not disappoint, highly recommend!“

“The bartender Michelle she’s good and hard worker“

“We had cocktails here and appetizers from the restaurant next store. Masha the bartender is the absolute BEST! We stayed longer than intended, had another round and almost missed our subsequent dinner reservation! This is an excellent option for drinks, appetizers or dinner.“

“¡ La limpieza!! La atención al cliente y la esmerada creación de las pizzas, me dan la certeza de que al recomendarlo, no me van a dejar mal !! Los precios, accesibles y todo el establecimiento contribuye a pasar un grato fin de semana con familiares y/o amigos !“

“We had an incredible experience at wunderbar last night. Firstly, we didn’t have a reservation and despite being fully booked they accommodated us which was incredibly kind!

Next, enough good things can’t be said about this hidden whimsical speakeasy.. magical vibes, delicious concoctions and a cozy ambience, very creative menu both design, concept and combinations..

A cool thing about their menu is that they have a light/dark magic theme.. the light magic is the classic cocktail for example an Old fashion, the dark magic is Wunderbar’s take on the classic cocktail in this case it was Poison apple this month.. fabulous idea.. because sometime you just want your regular with a twist! They also have a nice selection of White magic Non alcoholic cocktails..

They were originally going to fit us in for just 20 mins but we ended up staying over an hour and had 4 cocktails. 1 was a special cocktail for the night which was a pandan flavored whiskey.. a tiki drink, the dreamcatcher and the poison apple.. highly recommend all four..

Xian helped us while we were out there and he was an incredibly gracious host..“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“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.“

“Our band, Drini & the Bad Kats Band, played at the venue for the first time last night. The entire staff, patrons and owner were great. Our friends loved the venue as well. I’ve been for Karaoke Nights several times and have always had a blast as well. The drinks are strong and delicious, just like I like em. Lots of space to move around too. 🤗🎤🎉“

“Went here twice for a film screening and Dust Breaks' EP release party—both different and great events! Good vibes, warm & inviting while having great staging for different kinds of events to play with. As an artist myself, I'd like to play a show here in the future for its vibes, drinks, easy access to food along the area, and friendly service! Shoutout to Allan for the friendliness and tech help!“

“Been to this place twice. Dropped in on a Friday and it was kinda slow The gentlemen working the bar didn't seem like he wanted to be there. But he still put on a smile when serving the drinks. Went back a there was a woman bartending. She was extremely sweet and very welcoming. There was also a back patio that also has a tv and you could smoke back there.“

“Been in the area for work a few times in the last couple months. I found this place on my first trip out here and couldn’t have stumbled upon a better place. They don’t have a kitchen, but you can find some of the best food trucks parked outside the front door regularly. A great place to watch sports and hang out where the locals do. From the owner to Jessica behind the bar, you’ll feel right at home.“

“Can I give it 10 stars for atmosphere? Maybe 1 or 2 for food, but that makes it even at 5 stars. It's a historic dive bar that has character from its many years of pouring drinks. It's the absolute opposite of many of the bars/restaurants just down the road. Those are nice too, but cannot keep up with the character at Pioneer...“

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“sports atmosphere....patrons are awesome, jukebox I love and the bartenders are awesome...“

“Great beer! Especially the Belgians. Friendly bartender.“

“We were weary travelers stopping by Scotty's in hope of a more chill vibe with some good food, and Scottys delivered! Our bartender, Sergio, was so friendly and fun! We got some inside knowledge about the town as we are from Oregon. The drinks were perfect and the food was top notch! I would have expected to pay a lot more for the quality of food and service we received at literally any of the surrounding places. We will visit Palo Alto again if only to go back to Scotty's as a new tradition! Thank you, Sergio, for making our anniversary dinner a great one! Someone give him a raise!“

“Unique, invigorating cocktails. Tried No. 34, you should try it. Must try. Tried chicken , that was amazing as well. My next go to place for really great cocktails. Expensive ofcourse but worth the price. Late night atmosphere is crowded and lively.“

“Karaoke with Ben on Thursday nights is always a blast. Good parking in front and rear, good bartenders, drinks, 2 pool tables, dart board, clean bathrooms, and a relaxed low-key dive bar feel. If you're looking for a local hideaway, then The Harbor is your refuge.

“good chill place to hangout and have drinks and shoot pool with the locals. everyone there is chill“

“Was celebrating my Uncle's wedding anniversary. Staff is friendly and professional. Went on a Saturday. Plenty of parking (garage) in the area. Ordered the filet mignon. Was irresistible and incredibly tender. My Father had their prime rib with mash potatoes. Took the leftovers home. I would definitely go back ! We had reservations so our group went in when it was time.“

“Food was good. Service is a little lackluster; it almost as though our table was invisible. Not once was our table checked on during the meal. The only time a request could be placed was when we asked the young lady that came to remove empty plates from the table.“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“It's a good old fashioned pub. Nothing fancy, just a nice comfortable place to have a drink and make a friend. There is a large outside area where you can smoke and have a drink, which is hard to find. It's my go to place after a hard days work. The service is the best !!“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Awesome rooftop bar with stunning views and great cocktails!“

“Rolled into town on a Wednesday, looking to book a late night party on the upcoming Saturday. Monica behind the bar grabbed the owner Malhi from next door. They were both super helpful and made it easy. Had a great time with good drinks. Even pumped our own music through their sound system. Nice looking place with chill vibe.“

“Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere.“

“Greens are true and the range has a helpful computer system“

“I loved Lorena's service, she is super professional and detailed with her hands and products. She relaxes you and makes you conscious. She makes you feel like you are in the clouds. Of course I highly recommend her. You will not regret it. You will return and above all, the results are instantaneous. thank you ? My Lore“

“Lovely lounge for an evening drink with your coworkers or family. The atmosphere is pleasant with gorgeous views of the mountains. If seated indoors, the library environment is warm and soothing. The food is delicious either lovely choice of cocktails, wine and beers. This is most favored place for business hangouts and casual meetings.“

“Had a wonderful, fresh breakfast and a nice dinner at the restaurant in The Westin in Palo Alto. The breakfast I chose was the bar which included eggs, bacon, potatoes, and French toast. Cereal, coffee, OJ, and toast was available as well a 8 varieties of fruit.For dinner, I started with the cheese plate and finished with the Soleil Burger with Gilroy fries. Long Islands were outstanding. The cheese plate was excellent and served with toast. The burger was cooked to perfection with bacon and cheddar.“

“Great way to spend some time.! Friendly people every where. It is realky great when you win too! Lol“

“all that it's laid back forsure“

“Great owner! Great Staff! Comfortable surroundings! Gotta be there!!“

“Food was great. Service was excellent even the restaurant was packed at height of dinner. Great food!“

“The steak sliders and garlic fries were so good! Service here is excellent! Dave and Tasani made sure to check on how I was enjoying the food and kept refilling my water! Excited for my next trip through SFO! Will definitely eat here again!“

“Le banc is just what Los Altos needs! A low key, no frills bar with good drinks, TV’s to watch your favorite sporting event, darts and the ability to bring in your own food of choice. This place has just the basics and is run by great people who know the biz!“

“Great selection of beers!“

“Our waiter, Sinan, was absolutely amazing- very attentive, knew the menu, and professional. My husband ordered a burger and loved it. I had a hot cabbage salad which was delicious. The cheese & charcuterie was good and served with ham and carmelized onions which were yummy. The “aged Gouda” was actually smoked Gouda. I suggest they dim the lights further than they were dimmed on 16 Feb, 2025.“

“Amara has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants - top 3 in the Bay Area for Mediterranean food. The quality of their ingredients is like farm to table, and their sister restaurants are two of my favorite Indian in the Bay Area as well. I will be frequently this place!“

“First time dining at Twelvemonth. Everything from ambiance, food quality, to service was outstanding. It is such a treat to have an entirely plant based menu in a beautiful environment like this. Jack, our server, and management took incredible care of us. Will absolutely be back to try the rest of the menu. My compliments to the kitchen and staff. Cheers!“

“After 20+ years of coming here…it’s STILL incredible! The Mojito! The Masitas, the snapper, and soooooo much more!“

“The do called "inclusive" atmosphere is really just an owner who hates everyone who has different views. If your social or political views are woke, you aren't welcome. Spend your money elsewhere. This guy is an idiot.“
