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🍻“

“Step into the enchanting ambiance of this bar where every sip is a journey of flavor. With an array of amazing cocktails crafted to perfection, you'll be spellbound by the mixologist's expertise. And as if the drinks weren't enticing enough, the staff here are the epitome of charm and allure, making every visit a delight for the senses.“

“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.“

“Great vibes, terrible cocktails. It's all just crappy pre-made or horrific ratios with monstrosities of ingredient quality. Stick with anything canned or be around tap unless you want to just do shots. I would be happy to pay a couple more bucks for an actual craft cocktail made with quality made by a mixologist. Besides that, the customer service is awesome, the rules and regs are more than understandable, and when they bring in live music you're into, it's a really good time. Overall it's a great place, just stay away from the cocktails... Unless you're a Jack and Coke kind of person, then I will not be having cocktails with you regardless lol. Glad to have this place in the creek, been here a few times and it's always good times.“

“The group of us had a great lunch at Bourbon Highway. We enjoyed the food and service. The sandwiches and salads were tasty. They really give you healthy portions for the price. Great deal for sure. All the sides were really good. Try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. The spicy chicken sandwich was probably our favorite. Glad this place started serving lunch. Doesn't appear many people have figured that out yet.“

“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.“

“Always enjoy the nights we can make it to dinner here. The staff is friendly and as long time patrons, we know many of the staff. Food is always excellent, fresh and hot. This visit nothing caught my interest on the specials so I was able to try a regular menu item I had not tried before. The pork cutlet, very well prepared and and the side of pasta and vegetables never disappoints.“

“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. 🍹✨“
