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.“

“We recently used Molly O’s to cater our World Cup Final viewing party and everything was fantastic! Raquel was very helpful and a great at communicating. The standout dish for everyone was their sausage rolls. They were a huge hit!“

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

“Our go-to bar before heading to the Guild Theater. The bartender makes excellent drinks, and every cocktail we've tried has been well-balanced and delicious. It's a great spot to grab a drink before a show. Plus they play old movies with Audrey Hepburn.“

“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.“

“Amazing ribeye and great vibes!“

“This bar is absolutely awesome! Thank you so much, Jordan—your cocktails and customer service were fantastic, and you truly made my night. I also really enjoyed chatting with the regular, J, who shared so many interesting things with me. This isn't just a great bar; it's an irreplaceable, special, and historic place.“

“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. 🤗🎤🎉“

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

“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!“

“Great local hangout with 1 pool table and darts. Karaoke rocks. Bartenders are fantastic at making drinks, and creating comfortable vibe. BE SURE TO GET THE JELLO SHOTS! Best in all nay area, and 4-6 different flavors such as guava made with rum and spicy mango made with tequila. Only 2 shots for $6! I got a buzz off 4, and had to Uber home!!!!“

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

“I am from Detroit, and work in the bay area 2 weeks a month. I consider myself a dive bar aficionado. First visit here was in July, met George and a few regulars and fell in love immediately.
George treated me like I have been coming for years. Helped me find local spots to have great food and even helps me find Punk Rock shows to see when I am town. Chris's New Harbor is now my home away from Home.
Ask George to make you a Dolly Shot, they are Money 😀.
Fridays are Food Truck Day, different food truck ea. Friday. I had Jerk Salmon last time I was here on a Friday and it was excellent.

Cant tell you how much I love this place“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Gemelos Cantina & Sports Bar is new and next door to their restaurant in Redwood City. Place your order for food at the restaurant and they bring it over to you on the bar side. Nice atmosphere with plenty of TV screens, a pool table and a group of couch seating inside. Outside there is a patio in the back with heaters.“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“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 !!“

“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.“

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

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

“Beautiful bar, we went solely for the Japanrse whiskey experience, and man, it was delicious. Maybe one day we'll try tiers 1 and 2, but this time we tried 3 and 4 and they were divine. I am not a whiskey person, and this made me rethink that. The Teitessa was my favorite, a must try!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Wow. The sushi salad was AMAZING, the service was SO great AND the chef gifted us with salmon teriyaki!!!!!! Never even mentioned it was a birthday dinner!!!! Everything was so fresh, textures were amazing and taste was just right sweet, salty and so healthy. Grateful!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Always great atmosphere electric.“

“Went on a Thursday night , surprisingly it was very packed, but service was fast. Got myself, Guinness and an Irish cider. We got a couple pool tables jukebox and some other stuff I didn’t pay too much attention. They had a food menu as well, but I didn’t get anything last call for food was at 1 AM.“

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

“This is the most beautiful brunch spot in Bay Area. The food was impeccable. I spoke with the owner and chef and learned that he had a Michelin guide background and also everything at the restaurant Is made in house. The dessert was absolutely out of this world and if you live in Bay Area, this is a place you have to try.“

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

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