50 Best Bars near Stanford

“It's inside the building for graduate students to meet and attend certain activities. They offer a variety of food with reasonable prices. There's no table service. After done eating, you need to bring your own plates to the collection trays. Good place to grab something if you're on campus but too far away from the tresiddor union. There are not many places open on weekends. This is one of those.“

“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.“

“Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all great and always hit the spot. Come by in the evenings if you enjoy the social atmosphere or want to hang out with friends.

Molly O’s has become a popular destination for people from all over the Peninsula on weekends. During the day it’s family-friendly and welcoming, but Friday nights bring a fun younger crowd with DJs, dancing, and great energy. The vibe stays lively and comfortable for a wide range of ages.

Saturday nights are just as great with live music ranging from young country artists to traditional Irish fiddlers, something different every weekend that keeps people coming back.

The food, beer, and cocktails were all excellent, the service was amazing, and meeting Molly herself made the experience even better. You can tell this place is built on hospitality and good people. Definitely one of the best nightlife spots in San Carlos.“

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

“¡ 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 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.“

“Suzanna and Ashley are the best bartenders there oh and def can’t forget about Tiffany“

“Amazing ribeye and great vibes!“

“They dont really serve food but you can bring your own in. Really fun place. Couple pool tables great service. Most folks I talked to have been coming here for decades, so that's got say something! Great bartenders! Especially the day time guy!

Cash only though. They have an atm on site if needed. Definitely worth it stopping by.“

“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. 🤗🎤🎉“

“What a quirky, rare find! A true dive bar, very real and authentic. There's, obviously, a bar, plus karaoke in the corner, a big wall for darts practice, a pool table, and several arcade games. Friday night was sparsely attended, but the karaoke was strong and the darts were still flying. Drinks were less than $10, the bartender was polite, and the other patrons were thoughtfully minding their own business. We loved everything about it?“

“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.“

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

“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...“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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 !!“

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

“Sushi heaven does a good job of offering a variety of sushi: sashimi, nigiri, maki, temaki, and tempura, miso and specialty rolls (like California), and the price is right. It's affordable and the quantities are satisfying. If you think of it like a traditional restaurant that you find in Japan - except you sit on chairs at tables instead of on a tatami mat at chabudi (low tables) - then you'll find it satisfying.“

“An interesting place to stop for lunch if you’re at Moffet Field. And it has a dog friend patio. The bar was closed on the Wednesday we went, but the grill was open.
This was apparently the former Officers Club building and sits across from the looming Hangar One.
Both the patty melt and Philly cheesesteak were tasty.
Don’t miss the Moffet Field Museum across the street.“

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

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

“Fred’s is the best Monday trivia and Thursday Karaoke“

“The ambiance is chill to have meetings here. My friends like it too. I don't drink, so the bartender always makes me the best non alcoholic drinks. Everyone is friendly here. I've been coming here for over fifteen years because I love the location and the customers are always cool people.“

“Always great atmosphere electric.“

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

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

“Great selection of beers!“

“For 3 yrs always stay at Aloft it’s like my second home , the ambiance is very nice, front desk clerk are polite and friendly , the bar , waiting area , restaurant and the swimming pool are very nice , the rooms are big, and parking area“

“Yay! Today me and my friends stopped at this bar and I think this bartender named Kimberly and she delivered A+ service to us. She was very friendly and gave us a good company and also made mules for us - they taste sooo freaking good❤“

“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!“

“great 👍 love grandma's special been going there for years!“

“A bunch of us went the other night , Great Place very clean lots of tables, Plan on having a company party there this summer ! Highly recommend“

“The speed of service was supersonic. Everything was cooked well and the portions are large! I would definitely come back. I was very hungry and didn't get any pictures! However I recommend the bento box! The tempura was crispy and the vegetables flavorful. I also had the California Roll which was yummy. I appreciate a roll that's not more rice than filling and these were perfect!“
