Pleasanton Sunshine Saloon

★★★★☆ 3.6 (335) • $$

"So my son invited me to hangout with his friends and sing karaoke at the bar in Pleasanton, so I met him there.... I guess the crows feet gave it away that I was over 21 bc I didn't get carded lol. Location was easy to find, my son ordered me a mango shake with rum and it was sooo yummy! My son ordered the baked potato skins, and garlic parmesan fries and both of them were delicious. Service was quick, responsive and welcoming. We got in the queue and my son and I got to sing a song together for the first time... More than Words by Extreme and we killed it! I would definitely recommend this place and come back. I had so much fun, we went during a reunion so it was a fun crowd."

Valley Brewing

"Service 5/5 I came for a private event and our server lady was friendly and kind. Food: 3/5 we got nachos and a quesadilla as starters, no one really ate them. Just basic food. Drinks: They also offer mixed drinks in addition to beers. The peach lemon drop was tasty. Ambiance: our group was on the patio under the roof cover thing. It was a good space for the 20 of us or so."

JAMS @ 209 Sports Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (228) • $$

"Took the family here (party of 8) for a night before Christmas Eve dinner. Only one table of 4 was occupied when we arrived. The restaurant was hot and stuffy! We asked if it could be cooler? They tried, but it couldn't... We should've sat outside! Ordered meals for 8. 3 more tables arrived AFTER we got there. They all got their food before us. After about 45 minutes, our food trickled out, one plate at a time, over the next 15 minutes. Kids cheese pizza worse than frozen. The salads were served on hot plates with the main courses. (So salads were hot) One of the salads did not have the salad dressing on it.Popcorn chicken was served, tossed in bbq sauce, instead of BBQ on the side (as requested). The chicken parm sandwich wasn't made from chicken breast. It was inedible parts of the chicken breaded.Our server abandoned us after the food was delivered, but I went to the bar and asked for drink refills and another server cheerful helped! There was one good thing: All of the fries were hot and crispy! This place has 'lots of potential' with a few adjustments in the kitchen and the server."

La Morenita

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (250) • $$

"Looking for amazing Mexican food and a great atmosphere then stop on to LA Morenita. Love their spicy micheladas. My go to is the vegetarian burrito . When me and my coworkers want some tasty lunch and the extra cash we come here. Yes it is more expensive than our favorite taqueria but there's a reason. It's a nice restaurant with nice staff and clean."

"I've been coming here a few times alone the last week or so. I had the sweet potato fries and they were really good. I think her name is Toni? She is very nice and my drinks were good. All of the bartenders are really nice. The security guards are nice. Good place for a drink ."

Haven Acres Marina Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (110) • $

"This is my husband's favorite watering hole. I personally hate bars, but occasionally he can drag me here. Great view of the water, pretty decent food selection, a tad more than just bar food. Chance is an awesome bartender and cool dude to chat with. They have outdoor seating, just make sure you watch your step. It's not a bar for everyone, it's a local bar in a trailer park, so don't expect a ton of bells and whistles. Great jukebox, darts, and a punching game. When you come here, you're really coming for the view of the water or you know you can get an iced cold beer for pretty cheap."

Papas and Wings

★★★★☆ 3.5 (138) • $$

"Wings and fries are yum and served piping hot.. We got our food from their food truck @ winery event whichcame out pretty quick"

Central Station Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (80) • $$

"My son and I went to lunch here whileI am visiting from Hawaii. The service was good and it's a great atmosphere. We were promptly seated on a train car and that was really interesting. It is right next to the Santa Fe railroad tracks so you hear and feel trains going past. Really nice menu with lots of delicious sounding options. Unfortunately pizza oven was inoperable the day we went. We both chose different burgers he had the Mac attack and I had the take em to the station. Interesting thick curly fries with good flavor and texture. Best burger I have had in a while. Nice drink selection. Enjoyed the blood orange Cali squeeze. Would recommend and will return when on the mainland."

Mr. Taquito

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (92)

"The food was good but not the 25-minute wait that we had. For clarification, there were less than 10 people in the in the building. The service was slow but very friendly. The ambiance on that day was cool. There was a saxophone player on this day (Sunday), which was cool and chill.Though I did not give a high score, I do see potential and am willing to go back in the future in hopes of improvement."

"A true dive! Not saying that just bc the bartender said that either. In an old brick building and inside it looks dated like a bar you'd expect in the 80s/90s? It is however, clean! You won't feel like you need to think twice about touching the bar top, sitting on their chairs, or drinking from their glasses.They have 3 or 4 TVs which had college football on when we went in. The bar itself was full with friendly older clientele.Beer selection: don't expect any craft beer. It's standard Bud/Coors product with Stella probably being their more quality beer. I went with an Oly which might be a hipster beer now like they did PBR/Hamm's, but can't beat it for $2.Spirits: not a huge selection but they have no need for it. They have your typical items like Grey Goose, Jack Daniels, Jameson, Bulleit, Patron, etc. Don't expect any Whistle Pig.Cool spot. Friendly people running the place along with the clientele. They also have food which I don't know what it looks like since no one was eating when we were there. I'd pop back in if I need to kill time downtown."
