21 Best Cocktail Bars in Walnut Creek

“Fantastic all around! The experience was amazing, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top notch. Elizabeth was the best server and Tristan's drinks were to die for. 10/10 experience, I highly recommend everyone try this restaurant, you won't be sorry!!“

“Love this place been going for years!“

“Planned a “Girls Trip” to San Francisco and arriving late in the evening. I knew we’d be hungry and wasn’t sure what would be open and didn’t want fast food. So I pre ordered their “To Go Box” Raquel was absolutely helpful and professional when corresponding to my inquiries. Had it delivered directly to the hotel and it was waiting at the front desk (refrigerated in the back) when we arrived. The hotel staff said this was the best and most beautiful charcuterie box she has ever seen! Oh how we enjoyed it once we were up in our room! Highly recommend and would definitely order from them again when in town!“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“This is a must try. Excellent food and wonderful hospitality. Very authentic! Go check them out. ❤🥰“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“Had dinner here specifically to try the non-sushi items and the menu and service did not disappoint. We tried the Tokyo beef, fried lobster, lobster risotto, hamachi crudo, and Walnut Creek roll. I would order everything again. Our favorites were the beef- it came with a great salad that paired well, and the lobster items. Next time I would try a different crudo and roll- the ones we got were great but I want to try other items on their menu. The service was on point. Our server was friendly and had great recommendations. The drinks were good- I had the tequila martini and would order it again. Definitely check this place out for a unique and crafty sushi spot!“

“Came in after having dinner at rooftop in Walnut Creek. Been here before but made a good choice to come back for a nightcap. I can’t even tell you what I ordered as it was late, dark, loud and the dranks were dranking lol. Our bartender was Shirley (if I remember correctly. Forgive me if I’m wrong) but she was super sweet and informative about the drinks. I’ve been here twice before for the food and most likely return to give it another try with a more thorough review.“

“It was our first time dining at Bar Camino and it won't be our last. Everything about it is excellent. The menu has a large selection ranging from appetizers to dessert. The service is excellent and friendly. There were four of us and we each enjoyed our choice of food. Three of us had the combination main meal. I had a cup of tortilla soup which was more the size of a bowl and I brought some of it home. My entree was the Chile Relano. The chile was crispy on the outside. I had never tasted a Chile Relano as good as this one. And, I have one at every Mexican restaurant where I dine. This was by far the best ever! The restaurant seating is comfortable. And, as I mentioned before, the service and servers are friendly, helpful and welcoming.“

“Delectable, superb food presentation, good quality of ingredients, perfectly cooked especially the steak & lamb. Friendly & attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere & clean restaurant. Highly recommend ELIA!!“

“Love this place Great service“

“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.“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“We stopped by this bar while in the area and it was a pleasant surprise. The drinks, the food were all top notch! My favorite was the Shrimp tacos and the whiskey flight. I got the whiskey flight named eagle rare off the menu which was pretty nice to sip as we all sat by the fireplace outside. Hops & Scotch has both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of parking spots around the surrounding area. The staff was awesome and friendly will definitely come here again whenever we are in the area.“

“Ambience was great. Service was excellent and the entrees, salads, and cheese cake super yummy. Entrees are large portions, enough to take home a full dinner! I had the gluten free carbonara and a Cesar salad with no croutons. Both were delicious and super fresh. This place never disappoints!“

“Great food and atmosphere for celebration“

“I went here on a Saturday night for their Linkin Park cover band (which was phenomenal), and the bar was just as good as I’d been told. We rented a table for the experience and service was great, and I was more than happy with their liquor selection. Retro Junkie features cover bands every Friday/Saturday, and does other things like Karaoke Nights on Wednesdays, among other things. The cover bands are different every time and play different genres/music. The crowd that goes is definitely full of Gen X and older, so if you’re also in your early 20’s, don’t be surprised if you’re one of the only young faces there. 🤣
Great bar, I’d definitely go back!“

“Had never been here before. Was able to walk in and get a table for 5 without waiting. The staff was very nice and helpful. Seems like everyone was working together to provide the best experience for all. Good price point! The Espresso Martini was perfectly balanced. The Pesto Deviled Eggs were a nice refreshing starter. My group each ordered something different and none of us were disappointed. Each plate came out very delicious. Will definitely be returning here in the future.“
