7 Best Dive Bars near Walnut Creek

“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.“

“Totally worth the drive to fish and see Barbara when they open for lunch.. Barbara is totally awesome. Cash only don't worry. There is ATM in the back. Large food and alcohol selection. We had no problems finding a seat on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of amazing outside seating looking at the lake. Side note my friend comes here occasionally and fishes on the straight. He took me here today and we almost caught a Sturgeon together.“

“KARAOKE NIGHTS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Especially Friday night! Huey is an EXPERT KJ!“

“Great place to hang out chill little bar“

“Nu-Rays is a town icon with history. It's the kind of bar locals visit frequently and share stories at great prices on beverages! If you're looking for low lights, friendly bar tenders, and great prices this is your kind of bar. 🥃🍺🍸🍹

Parking: First come first served metered street parking and a few lots with meters.“

“I went to this place on Friday night to see a rock show. It was an Ozzy Osbourne tribute band. The place is your classic dive bar. There was a large stage on one end, and there were a lot of people walking around in costume because it was near Halloween. The band was pretty good. There was lots of standing room and a few tables. They’re probably should’ve been more tables because they were also serving food and people were standing around eating it. I’m a non-drinker and I had already eaten so I can’t comment to the quality of the food or the alcoholic drinks. I can’t say it was a fun place and the people that worked there were nice. The sound was pretty good and the decor was cool.

If they’re having a tribute band or an event there that appeals to you, Might want to check them out.“

“Don't drink, so I ordered a diet Soda. The bartender warned me that he didn't know who's diet it was but that it wasn't that good. He was being nice to what ever it was I had. Disgusting,Horrible diet soda. Everything else was great. Except a Niners glass....Probably because of my Seahawks Shirt.“
