50 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.“

“Food has always been great. Very pleasant staff and efficient without being overbearing. Just would a little more wine or cider options. Possibly cider other than apple, there are so many other flavors that go great with Italian food, and maybe a sweeter less dry white wine like a resiling. Other than that, it's a fun place to go.“

“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.“

“Great welcoming staff & Fun 🤩 crowd“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“Amazing food! Great flavors!“

“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!“

“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!“

“This was my first time and I will be back!!“

“My family and I were celebrating my 69th birthday prior to attending the Lesher theater on Friday, December 12th. When I made the reservation, the only option was to sit outside. It was very chilly that night so we opted to eat at the bar instead. Lupita, the hostess, and staff went out of their way to put 2 tables together so we could eat indoors and all at one table.
In addition to the lovely staff, the food was delicious and the wait staff was very attentive. Many thanks to everyone for making my birthday dinner feel special.“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“Good atmosphere and a good beer selection. Great food but can be pricey. Great breakfast Friendly staff. Can get a little noisy in the bar but that's to be expected. Always a good experience.“

“Loved our experience but the only negative is it gets loud and I found myself talking loud. Given that the tables are so close to each other, I think everyone talks louder to be heard. Everything else was amazing and I'd still tell everyone to go. :)“

“It wasn't busy yet and the service was a little slow but the food was good. I wanted it to be hotter. My seat was very dirty next to me and that bothered me. And then they had live music setting up next to our table, it was a little awkward. Pretty good. Could do better.“

“Wonderful staff, food is fresh and delicious. Consistent quality and warmth of environment. - Don Dikun“

“The food was absolutely delicious. We had the quesadilla and artichoke as appetizers 2 of us had the short ribs, one had the salmon, and one had the lamb shank. For dessert we had the pear tarte and the creme brulee. We were all extremely pleased with everything. The service was a little slow as far as taking our order and our waiter could have been a bit more attentive, but we will definitely be back!“

“Ceviche trío was very fresh, savory and delicious! Husband had filet mignon and he loved it! Thanks for the great chefs, waiters and servers! 💕“

Blue Sakana is “Our Special Place”…“

“Hakashi is truly one of the best sushi restaurants in the East Bay. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and they add their own creative twist with unique flavors and presentation. Their drinks also have a personalized touch, definitely try the tamarind and hibiscus mocktail. For sushi rolls, the 49er and the Hakashi roll are must-tries, with the Hakashi roll being my personal favorite.“

“We always enjoy the sitting outside people watching and getting excellent service and food. My wife inevitably gets one of the specials- and loves the seasonal change in the menus.“

“A great stop, especially during happy hour! Service was quick, friendly and excellent! Patio dining on a nice day adds to the downtown experience. Food was flavorful and drinks were delicious too! Great spot for a date night or special occasion with friends and family.“

“Food and cocktails were good. Table water tasted like tap water.“

“Great spot. Trivia Night on Wednesday’s are a must.“

“Food was great and so was the service…. Securely going back again!!!“

“This place was awesome !!“

“Amazing whiskey selection and great food!“

“Our favorite Mexican restaurant!! The Ahi Aguachile (sashimi dish) was amazing, as was the Chicharron Tacos (pork belly). Service is fabulous and the people are fantastic.“

“Delectable, superb food presentation, good quality of ingredients, perfectly cooked especially the steak & lamb. Friendly & attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere & clean restaurant. Highly recommend ELIA!!“

“Lit lit lit. The food was delicious. The music was perfect for the occasion. Seriously, Dj Clo Money is the best!I gave the service a 4 because when we went to the Leo party there was only one bar tender, so the service was a bit delayed. We also ordered hookah. I would’ve appreciated more attentive service.“

“10/10 one of the best experience we've had! Personal cocktail making class for the two of us. Charlie was so kind and had such a great way with us. We got a charcuterie board in the middle of our class which really added to the experience. We would really recommend this to everyone. Top experience“

“Great tiki build in Walnut Creek. When we went they had a Christmas overlay but the details around the bar are amazing. Truly a sign of a great tiki bar when you can't see everything on your first visit. Unique drinks and some staples as well. Great place to hang out!“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“We had a 630 reservation on a Friday night and we were rushed thru out entire meal. Our server Arleth came over about 10 times and that's not an exaggeration. It was very rude and then she told us she had to leave at 730 when she handed us the bill. It was too bad because we wanted to enjoy the food and drinks. One guy even asked if we wanted a box when we were still eating“

“Had a great time. Other bars were closing at 9pm on a Sunday and these guys were open until 2. I've been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. Tucked away in a parking lot off of the main street. Turn down sos drive and left into the parking lot halfway down the hill, and you'll find it.“

“Celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary with dinner at The Park. Delicious as always!“

“Love this place Great service“
