50 Best Bars near Saratoga

“Met a colleague at a local wine bar.... First one said they were closing early.... Ok... Walked to the next. The other wine bar said they were closed, had at least six individuals drinking full glasses of wine. Refused service unless I wanted to purchase a bottle of wine Togo. I left.... Found the bank.... Met my colleague.... Dropped some cash at a great bar that appreciates customers. Later had a great meal... Dropped more cash at Burger Bar next door. My fault for leaving Woodside that day!

“Growing up in Saratoga, there weren’t many casual asian dining places nearby and Sushi Heaven has always been a staple restaurant for my family for weekend night out dinners.
Sushi Heaven is not traditional Japanese, and has a variety of rolls that are fun to choose from and also has great bento boxes.

They also reasonably price Toro and if you’re lucky, you get decent cuts.

They take reservations and are busy during dinner times so call ahead or there is a waiting list.

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“BEsteak.A is an exceptional steakhouse that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. From the moment we stepped in, the service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable staff who made us feel welcomed throughout. The ambiance was enhanced by the soothing music playing in the background, setting a relaxed tone for the evening. I opted for the bone-in New York steak, and I must say, it was a masterpiece. The presentation was unlike any other steakhouse I've been to—the steak arrived perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. What surprised me pleasantly was their unique twist on the starter; instead of the usual bread, we were served a delightful plate of fresh vegetables with a decadent cheese dipping sauce—a refreshing change that set the tone for the meal ahead. The open kitchen concept added to the experience, allowing us to see the skill and dedication of the chefs firsthand. Overall, BEsteak.A not only delivered on taste but also on ambiance, service, and creativity. It's a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.“

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“Came here for a pinball tournament. It's a very nice bar and has several separate areas where there also video games along the walls. The pinball machines are in the back area where the food pickup area is. I ordered a Maitai from the front bar and it was really nice. The pins are very nice too, and they are well maintained. Priced very well @.75/gm 3 for 2.00. I didn't order food, so I cannot comment, but it looked good.“

“fun for people of all ages, highly recommended.“

“A great experience. We have been here about a dozen times and been to several other Brazilian steakhouse all over. This one is one of our favorites. The meats are tasty. They tend to start at rare when the carving sticks are fresh. If you want it cooked more, just let them know, and they are quick to bring the desired doneness to your tableside. The price is very reasonable for what you get. The cuts aren't prime, but they are seasoned well and all you can eat. I dont always like to cook so they are a great place for a treat and celebrations. Kids 6 and under are only $6!“

“We wanted to spend our Father's Day Brunch Shepherd & Sims, but a lot of the time we were searching for a server for our table. Not sure why, but the server took a long time to arrive at our table. We felt ignored. Finally someone in a suit (looked like the manager) stopped by to pour water into our water glasses, and said, "Let me get you a server." When the server arrived it took a long time for us to get our drinks. My father-in-law asked for some coffee. He had to get another server to get him the coffee, and when he did, it was cold, diluted, and it was obvious that it was the last 8oz from that coffee pot. The assigned server then got another pot of coffee and it was fine after that. We also had to ask twice that we wanted a side of mustard for my father-in-law's burger. It all ended up being okay, but we felt ignored for the most part. We love the food at Shepherd & Sims, but wish that the topic of conversation wasn't about the lukewarm service. Bummer.“

“Chill atmosphere, GREAT staff, cold beer, music you will never hear on the radio (that's a good thing.). #supportlivemusic.com“

“No food within the bar which is fine, there's usually a food truck outside or you can bring your own. Great staff here, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Tons of TVs and 2 pool tables and 2 dart boards. Really a great atmosphere and vibe.“

“Chill vibe, great cocktails, and friendly staff. The smoked Old Fashioned was a standout—smooth and balanced. The place feels upscale but relaxed, with quick service even on a busy night. Prices are fair, and the crowd is cool without being loud. A solid spot for date night or catching up with friends“

“I had a great cheese burger, salad and beer. Thank you folks, I was well taken care of.“

“Great downtown San Jose spot with cool bartenders“

“Always great atmosphere electric.“

“I got the single patty cheeseburger combo and nugs combo with a side of Mac and cheese. I think the nugs combo is a good bang for your buck because they give such a large amount of nuggets and fries. They taste delicious with honey and their special sauce and were fried to perfection. I enjoyed their cheeseburger as well and would get it again!
Just a heads up for anyone who orders the chicken salad, my best friend got it and it was a whole bunch of nuggets with what appeared to be a small amount of spring mix underneath and a side of ranch. She was a bit disappointmented, but she wanted a lighter meal, but it was too heavy for her.“

“When people say this is a neighborhood bar, it's true. Everyone here generally knows one another. I would say from either socializing or the event they have throughout the week etc. It really does have a community vibe. Always a good time here! Also, the Bartenders Mark, Mark and Bernard are freaking awesome men, they are prompt, social and very aware of what's happening throughout the night. Sweet men!“

“The hotel was well maintained, very cool inside, the rooms were great, the hotel is centrally located and easy to get around. The staff couldn’t do enough for me, they were very kind and courteous. They have a nice gym and a nicer outside pool area“

“It’s a really cool local dive bar, lots of pool tables and darts. Only thing I don’t like is the manager charline, she’s really mean. I love going on the nights where Elena bartends, best bartender ever, this girl deserves a raise ? she carries the bar. We’re regulars so we know what’s up“

“What a blast. I went down to Beefy's last night with my wife and a friend of ours for a dart tournament. There were at least 40 people chucking darts. Everyone was very welcoming as the dart community usually is. TBH, I got a little clostrophobic as there was nowhere to move after each throw. It was packed. Too many tables and chairs in the way The tournament was played on 5 boards simultaneously, and they have a practice board inside and outside. The boards were all lit very well with LED surrounds, and we used the provided tablets with DartsConnect app for scoring. Some people brought snacks to share. Priced seemed a little high ($8 Modelo draft) on drinks, but what bar isn't nowadays. There is plenty of parking in front and back. League Darts on Thursdays and tournaments on Saturdays. Overall, I had a very nice experience there and will definitely be returning.“

“I honestly don’t understand how anyone could leave a bad review here. This place has such a great atmosphere — it’s just impossible to say anything negative about it! The bar is very clean, the vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the crowd is always interesting. A special thank you to the bartender Marcos— he’s incredibly friendly, attentive, and truly cares about his customers. Much appreciated!“

“Buen. Servicio. Lugar. Amplio. Exelente. Mucica. DJ. Y. Karaoke. El. Mejor. Lugar. Para. Divertirse.sanamente.“

“Fantastic bar with solid food options and one of the best atmospheres around. Both bar tenders were superb and they had a great selection of Irish and US based whiskeys.

Be sure to bring quarters for the pool table and they run half price whiskey specials to watch out for!“

“Jacks Restaurant and Bar is a great spot for anyone who loves delicious food and exceptional cocktails. The menu offers a delightful variety of dishes, all expertly prepared and packed with flavor. Their cocktails are creative, perfectly balanced, and a true highlight of the experience. Combined with a warm ambiance and attentive service, Jacks delivers an unforgettable dining experience that’s perfect for any occasion.“

“We’ve been to this places twice for wine tasting in the past but the bistro didn’t open at that time. So we went on Sunday for special Mother’s Day brunch and give it a try. My sister is their member so we can order five different entries from their set menu. We had Shakshuka , Benedict eggs, avocado and salmon with bread , duck fried rice and special charcuterie.
The taste of all dishes are amazing. The duck meat is very well seasoned so it is not gamey at all .Shakshuka tastes like the one we had in Jerusalem.
Nice and friendly service. We can’t wait to come back again for their regular meal.“

“muy sabrosa birria es la mejor birria q he probado“

“They have 3 pinball machines, 2 pool tables, 2 electronic dart boards, a jukebox, an ATM machine, and all sorts of memorabilia on the walls and ceiling available for their patrons to enjoy!! The atmosphere can go anywhere from calm and mellow during midday, to exciting, jovial, entertaining, and filled with dancing and laughter in the late evenings. As far as the patrons, they has a great, blended environment; so no one will feel out of place if you decide to go. So... if you want to go to a place where you'll feel welcomed and have a great time, then Paul & Harvey's on Murphy Ave. is the place for you!!??? *Photo's to come...!“

“Stopped in Friday and the BBQ Chicken was great. The baked potato had sour cream a butter. The beans were very tasty. The price was great and so was the service. I'm going to come back and try the breakfast and might add a bloody Mary. Nice bartender.“

“I love the patio. It's a warm welcoming watering hole filled with great people!“

“Aloft Sunnyvale on its own is good enough value for money spent. However, what truly stood out was the customer ser ice of its front desk. Shoutout to Michelle for helping me out a ton when I was trying to extend my stay. No excuses were made and she found a way to get it done even under difficult circumstances. Roy was also great with the room upgrade when he saw that I had brought a friend and might have needed a bigger bed. 10/10 Customer Service!“

“We had a great time there. The bartenders were great personable had great conversations with them. Had told some jokes with each other. We had a few drinks. We had a really great time there. We spent like 3 hours there. It was really fun, learned a new drink and loved it. It's called a Scooby snack!!!“
