22 Best Cocktail Bars in Walnut Creek

“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 is a very authentic Roman themed Italian Restaurant. The offerings are well prepared, well presented and delicious. The waitstaff, barstaff and management are true professionals who obviously take pride in their craft and their operation. Highly recommended for quality and value.“

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

“Wonderful staff, food is fresh and delicious. Consistent quality and warmth of environment. - Don Dikun“

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

“Hakashi is truly one of the best sushi restaurants in the East Bay. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and they add their own creative twist with unique flavors and presentation. Their drinks also have a personalized touch, definitely try the tamarind and hibiscus mocktail. For sushi rolls, the 49er and the Hakashi roll are must-tries, with the Hakashi roll being my personal favorite.“

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

“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.“

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

“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 had a 630 reservation on a Friday night and we were rushed thru out entire meal. Our server Arleth came over about 10 times and that's not an exaggeration. It was very rude and then she told us she had to leave at 730 when she handed us the bill. It was too bad because we wanted to enjoy the food and drinks. One guy even asked if we wanted a box when we were still eating“

“Great food and atmosphere for celebration“

“Love this place Great service“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“When you enter the expectations are high. It's clear that someone put effort into the decoration. Unfortunately there are a lot of challenges. First, the limited parking doesn't make it any easier than heading downtown. Second, being next to the highway you are blasted with headlights every 90 seconds. The service was almost too prompt...we weren't being hurried though. The eggs in the salad were over cooked and the portions were fine. As a local walking distance place this is probably fine but wouldn't recommend as a destination.“

“We had such a great experience at The Cooperage! We’re visiting from Hawaiʻi and were really excited to finally try this place, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was welcoming and the food was delicious. Everything felt very classic and well done.

A special thank you to Sonia, the manager, who was incredibly attentive and checked on us throughout our visit to make sure everything was perfect. It really meant a lot and made the experience feel extra welcoming.

Our server Owen was also fantastic friendly, professional, and very attentive. He made great recommendations and took great care of us.

The whole team made us feel really welcome and we’re so glad we came while visiting from Hawaii . We’ll definitely recommend The Cooperage to friends and family who come to the mainland“
