Pioneer Saloon

Some locals recommended this place since it had music and stayed open later then 8pm on a Friday. And we were warned that the drinks weren't good. And that part was true. It was definitely for an older older crowd. And they charged us cover charge but everyone else went in free. Idk maybe Bcse we weren't locals. Other than that it seemed like a chill place to go to if you're older and don't like to drink mixed drinks. The service was nice though. Very nice.

Went here with my girlfriend after visiting Filoli nearby. Seems like a nice spot. Oddly, this town is mostly a bedroom community for Silicon Valley VCs. We kept trying to guess which bar patrons were VCs.

You're pretty much guaranteed a fun night at the Pioneer! Before we had kids, we'd to come to the Pioneer all the time with Woodside friends - at least a couple times a month. There's always a live band (usually a $5 cover though for the band - ATM right outside if you forget to bring cash) and great people-watching of a crowd of all ages. The drinks are reasonably priced and they even have decent (though not great) red wine options. We don't make it out nearly as much now but we've spent the last two New Years Eve's at the Pioneer and had a great time with friends. The Pioneer will likely continue to be our New Years Eve (and other bar nights) tradition!

This place is OLD SCHOOL!I came out of curiosity last night after work and i must say i loved it! it's divey, but they had a live band and a dance floor. You definitely need to get a ride to and fro cuz you'll have a fun time and i don't recommend you attempt driving home afterwards. folks there are not pretentious. just laid back and real friendly! if you wanna get away from the inner city and just let loose to drink, socialize, and dance you'll love this place! Drinks are not super expensive either. Cheers!

This is a great place , they have karaoke with Sam Marshall every Tuesday.He's got quite a following and makes you feel like a star.They have great bartenders and a great drink selection.They just started having open mic on MOndays with Paul Brumbaugh, I hope it lasts.I went to the last one and it was a hit.The family running this place is really cool peeps. The stage is great , great seats, the shows here are awesome. This is nice gem of a place.

The band was good I would give them 5 stars. The bartender sucked. Second glass of wine he barely gave me half a pour and did not give me a clean glass. My husband left him a tip but he really shouldn't have!

What I like about Pioneer : Good music , rockin drinks . Always a good time in Woodside when we eat at Bucks then mosey on over to the Pio for drinks and some dancing. Sam Marshall and Dutch Uncle are two of our favorites. Angel makes incredible mixed drinks and Mocktails as well.

Not sure what keeps this place going. Drinks are watered down. People are not friendly. Must just be for locals. I would skip it.

First time going there tonight and I was very pleased! Great atmosphere and awesome live music, will definitely be returning.

I frequented this place years ago when I was working at a motorcycle shop and always enjoyed myself. I went there to watch a friend whom performed and was able to learn LINE DANCING, which was a real kicker. Enjoyment is the meaning of this delightful place. Thank you
