14 Best Cocktail Bars near San Ramon

“I almost didn’t want to share my review because I don’t want this place to get super packed lol. But this is the only place with the best and delicious happy hour special within the bishop center. Trust me, all the other ones are way over priced even for their “happy hour” prices. I only come here for drinks so I can’t review the food. I highly recommend the golden state margarita and the ambikas grove! Ps happy hour is from 4-6. You’re welcome “

“Beautiful place great afternoon atmosphere“

“Just Fabulous. A place to sit and feel good with life.“

“We went with another couple and ended up with two separate reservations. The host team texted and called ahead, then seated us together without any drama. That alone earned them points before the food even arrived. The pizzas were the star. The crust is light and crisp with that Roman-style snap, and the toppings were dialed in rather than piled on. We did a classic margherita and one of the spicier options, and both disappeared fast.  Pastas were well-seasoned and cooked right. Our table shared a pappardelle and a penne, both with rich sauces that didn't feel heavy. Salads were fresh, especially the beet and farro style one with plenty of texture. We also tried a seasonal soup that was warm and balanced, not salty, and a nice counterpoint to the pizza. Drinks were a plus. There is a good mix of Italian and California wines, and the cocktail list is worth a look if you like something beyond the usual suspects.  Service stayed on top of everything, water refills included, even though the room was busy. The dining room is lively and the patio looked great for a longer catch-up night.  Bottom line, Delarosa is an easy recommend for a double-date or group dinner when you want reliably good pizza, solid pastas, and friendly people who actually read your reservation notes. If you care about the style, this is Roman-style pizza, not the heavy stuff, which explains why we had room for dessert.“

“Great welcoming staff & Fun 🤩 crowd“

“From the outside it looks like a dive. I love a good dive. But one step inside and your olfactory nerves transport you to Vegas. Maybe the Cosmo, maybe the Venetian. Either way it’s amazing. Then the smell of grilled hot dogs, it must be Slots of Fun… next order whiskey and they have my absolute favorite: Writer’s Tears. Come visit Nicole.

Don’t forget to tip your bartender.“

“Is a great lounge to bring your crew and your friends to have a great time with amazing bartenders and Live DJs playing all your favorite music !!“

“Fun sports bar in Hayward! It’s a great place to hangout with friends. They have a pool table, private clean bathrooms and plenty of seating. My friends and I always feel like family when we come here and the owner Judy is such a gem and makes everyone feel welcomed.“

“Historic location in Dublin! The legend continues with life long resident Phil and his rockin wife Marta... slinging great drinks, great prices, and awesome live music. I never thought one of 2 staple dive bars of Dublin would get such a great facelift, but it is better than ever!“

“Grew up nearby, The Roundup is the oldest bar I remember, could be the oldest bar in Lafayette, or one of at least. Great to see family and friends at this fine establishment“

“Fresh yummy food with magical drinks.Excellent service with very welcoming staff.Enjoyed the fritters ,poke bowl and all the other dishes we tried.The outdoor ambiance with great food and company was over the top“

“It’s very rare I leave a review for a bar. If ever. But this one is well deserved.

I was staying up the street and had a long couple days, so wanted a chill place to have a drink.

I stumbled upon a fantastic local watering hole, where you can tell the same folks come here, and for good reason. Good ambience, a few bar games, a digital jukebox, reasonable drink prices… but the service is where this place really hooked me.

(Forgive the spelling) Saren was my bartender and made me feel at home. As a career bartender, I can be somewhat hyper-critical of service from a fellow tender. She not only takes the time to talk to you individually, but immediately turns on the fast-paced service when the bar inevitably picks up when the place across the street lets out from an event.

I recommend this bar to anyone whether a group or individuals. There’s enough to do, people to talk to, and the service is second to none. I’ll be sure to book my next stay in the Bay close to here on purpose moving forward.“

“Planned a “Girls Trip” to San Francisco and arriving late in the evening. I knew we’d be hungry and wasn’t sure what would be open and didn’t want fast food. So I pre ordered their “To Go Box” Raquel was absolutely helpful and professional when corresponding to my inquiries. Had it delivered directly to the hotel and it was waiting at the front desk (refrigerated in the back) when we arrived. The hotel staff said this was the best and most beautiful charcuterie box she has ever seen! Oh how we enjoyed it once we were up in our room! Highly recommend and would definitely order from them again when in town!“

“This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I were visiting Danville today and stopped by this restaurant for dinner. The menu is delightful & the meal was delicious. This is a family owned business, and the owner spent much time traveling and working in hospitality overseas in a variety of different places,. The menu really highlights his comfort, creativity, and expertise in different cuisines. There were so many unique items to choose from, and one of the things I loved was that they had many gluten-free options clearly labeled on the menu. I highly recommend checking it out!“
