12 Best Bars in Walnut Creek

“This is a five star review from someone who doesn’t even like beer. The bartenders here are either very good at what they do or performing some kind of sorcery, but somehow they always manage to find something that I enjoy!

The beer selection on tap and in the fridge is super broad, really high quality, and constantly changing; the atmosphere is laid back; you can bring your own food in; and dogs are allowed! Their regular trivia nights and other events are always a good time as well.

Best taproom in the east bay🍻“

“This is my favorite bar in the Bay Area. Love the chill vibes, and love the drinks even more. Lightweights beware, some of the cocktails are sneaky strong...

My only nitpick is that good parking options are limited- there are metered street spaces across the street, otherwise the nearest Walnut Creek garage is a five minute walk away. Avoid the neighboring garages as those cost an arm and a leg.“

“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.“

“I had a takeout pizza from this restaurant last night first of all the customer service was absolutely excellent. The person that answered the phone had a really pleasant customer focused manner , nothing was too much trouble and he was so polite. The pizza was absolutely amazing , I hate anything that is too heavy and it was so light and lovely , the ingredients tasted extremely fresh , I would 100% recommend this place based upon my first experience and I will be back thanks so much 🥰“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“

“The steak salad was amazing! Drinks were delicious, live music, great service. Stayed for the line dancing class at 9pm and that was a blast. My first time there and I loved it.“

“Hops & Scotch is a great spot with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it perfect for any weather. Drinks are well-made, with a solid selection of cocktails and beers. Service can be a bit slow when busy, but the staff is friendly.

Plenty of parking and conveniently located just off the freeway. Perfect for a casual night out with friends or a relaxed date. 🍹✨“

“I live in the area and usually come out on average once a month. There are lots of different types of shows, my favorite being the disco, 80s, and classic rock nights. There is a great taco truck that sells the most delicious steak and birria tacos ever. As a woman I always feel safe and comfortable here knowing there are plenty of security and workers always around to help if ever needed. I'll be celebrating my Birthday here in March and cannot wait! If you like live music, or live near by, definitely check it out!“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“It’s all good very good barbecue sauce so tasty“
