The beers are ok . They claim it’s the best burger in the county ! But the patty is so thin , you can barely have a good taste of the meat . Anytime when they don’t ask you how you want the burger to be cooked , then it’s not a real burger . Because they can only cook it one way - well done and crispy ! They need to throw out the two thin patties and make one thick juicy one and make it medium or medium rare and the. It’s solid !

An awesome place to stop near big trees park. The food was incredible there’s a ton of options very reasonably priced. Staff was so kind and everything was incredibly clean. Stop here you will not be disappointed!! The views outside were beautiful too!!

Love the CLEAN bar, super nice and classy bartender with a rugged twist. Not too serious and smiles at the right moments. Just a nice relaxing casual spot to enjoy some quality drinks with great background music!!

It is a neighborhood bar. I haven't tried the food. It is only outside right now but after 6/15 all of California will open up

The Watering Hole is now Mission West! It's beautifully cleaned up, the owners Max and Grant are super friendly and love what they do. It's so nice to have a clean, safe, inviting place to grab drinks on the Westside. Highly recommend! Come check out the new digs!
