Bottom of the Fifth Sports Bar and Grill

Went to watch the 9ers game here with my brother and our girls Ordered lemon pepper wings, fried pickles and a fried chicken sandwich with fries. The folks working had to kindly escort one lady out for being a little too inebriated, sitting on top of the bar and gettin loud. Good to see how they handled it so gracefully. I'd come back.

Bottom of the Fifth happened to be a short block from my room at the Holiday Inn Express. And after a long meeting in Occidental, followed by a taxing drive to Benicia, this place fit the bill, as all I wanted was a convenient basic meal and a beer. I'll give this place 4 Stars, based on friendly and efficient staff (from my seat at the bar), and a pretty darn good and well portioned "Ragin Cajun" grilled chicken sandwich (on Dutch Crunch). I was also intrigued by the large antique wood structure behind the bar.Past that, this is really not my kind of locals place, as it's too brightly lit, the ambient reverberating noise level is high, and outside of the bar, seating is limited. Besides checking out the clientele and eating/drinking, there were multiple TV screens showing various sports contests and at least well used pool table to keep folks busy. Everyone here was having a good time, so I guess to each their own. However, I chose not to linger.

The service was unusually slow this visit. The bar back was taking orders and the cook had to run out food out. It did get better when the closing crew arrived. The food is usually awesome here, and everyone is super friendly! This time the fried pickles were a little soggy, but the wings were really good. My burger was cooked perfectly, and the fries were spot on!Good food, good service!

Bottom of 5th is your local watering hole and sports bar. Music from the 70s, 80s, 90s and vibe to match. There's a jukebox if you have a favorite hit for the evening. Multiple TV screens to catch a game, and two pool tables means plenty to do in addition to food and drink.There's daily specials and happy hour on weekdays. The menu is classic bar food, with burgers and fries which are satisfying and have generous portion-sizes. The food has only fallen short one time (I requested an over-easy egg and it came out fully fried).The staff is friendly and attentive, they made sure the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll feel welcome. Though the bright lighting might feel a bit intense for a place that's otherwise laid-back, it doesn't take away from the overall comfort.

I rated this five stars for the ambiance, food and service. This place has bee around forever! Inside there's Bay Area sports memorabilia everywhere, including some original Candlestick Park chairs. There's a couple of pool tables if you play pool.The wedge salad was really good. Bonus that it's already chopped! We split the cheese burger, added mushrooms and bacon extra. If you're a fan of garlic fries, you have to order them!Great place to hang out and enjoy some spirits and food!

Late night, Date night with the hubby. It was a Tuesday, 3/5, night and I had already told him about that Adult Happy Meal deal here. He thought it was as cool as I did so we headed out around 8:30 to a moderately busy scene. Loud laughter, pool games, music blaring, I actually was surprised. I brought my notebook and pen to write down our thoughts on a few things we wanted to discuss but between the people watching and the speaker ( that we discovered sat above our head) we just ordered a cocktail and chilled.Dinner:Wedge salad Fish and chips Breakfast Burger with Garlic Fries Food pretty good; atmosphere was loud but decent; Service was ok. I'm always at a loss on how to get a server's attention when I'm here. I think I should try sitting at the bar. The fish and chips is shareable.

Good food and good drinks, great for watching NFL games on a sunday morning, I have been there several times and am always treated very well.

4 stars for staff and service. 2.5 stars for food. Never been super impressed with the food at Bottom of the Fifth Sports bar. It's not even amazing for bar food standards. The burger, while thick and semi juicy didn't have a whole ton of flavor. Some of the toppings were on the side while some were on the burger. Is not served with included side. All fries or other side choices are an additional charge. The fried pickles chips were so so soggy and soft, they didn't seem fried at all. Not to mention ridiculously salty that they were inedible. The staff however, is just amazing. Will go back for drinks again but won't eat to waste money.

The service was very off-putting. I had to go up to the bar in order to put in an order and I had to go up to the bar in order to request the check. It took 4 people to complete the service because I think they kept forgetting. As I waited the bartender was saying not to expect her to be nice because she is not that bi***! Again, who jokes about that in a restaurant.When I left, the first person who was waiting on me was outdoors smoking a cigarette with a group of patrons.They seem to be attentive to the locals, who were the ones along the bar, but for new people and unknowns, there seemed to be an intentional snubbing. What a weird vibe for a restaurant/sports bar that relies on customers to keep its doors open. I was very disappointed. When the service is bad, it is hard to comment about the food.

I love this place. The food is so fresh! It's my favorite spot. The service is great! The staff is great! Lindsie and Chris are amazing! I always feel welcomed. It's a must try, my favorite is the patty melt
