46 Best Cocktail Bars near Pleasant Hill

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“We've been to Wisegirl twice and had great food both times. We sit in their open "alcove" next to the actual restaurant, which works great for us -- with one exception. Both times, when our food came, we still had no table settings. We had to wait, and in one visit, had to ask twice. They need to bring table settings when they seat you or take your order.“

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“5 stars for atmosphere and seating area 5 stars for taste of food, it was actually authentic and really tasty 3 stars for portion sizes I feel that for the price portions should be bigger. Tinga sopes- 7/10 tasty in flavor but they were so small, only two per plate and the plate looked like it was missing more umph, more of a wow factor. For the price it should come with rice or beans or at least have bigger portions. Birria tacos- 7/10 only 2 per plate, nothing else but the tacos and stew included Posole: 8/10 good taste, was a little lite on the salt but good taste and salsa. Jamaica- more tangy than I'm used to but the presentation was nice. Wish they would've had Horchata. Overall I would come back and the taste of the food is definitely more authentic than most. Loved the atmosphere. And liked that they have a wide variety of drinks and cocktails and alcoholic drinks to choose from“

Surprised it wasn’t that busy on a Saturday lunch time, but hopefully the word of the mouth gets around fast and more people get to experience this place. Good luck!“

“Best fried chicken in the bay“

“The bartenders and waitstaff are really friendly and attentive. I was in Italy for 5 weeks and my family there did not allow me to eat anything but Italian food, so I'm super picky :) I had the Polpo (Grilled Octopus) appetizer and Cacio e Pepe and it was wonderful and the panna cotta with cherries was divine! I can't wait to try the Amatriciana next time!“

“longport is delicious food served by a friendly face at a fast pace, in a good way. I'd recommend this establishment to anyone who loves sea food but, luckily if you don't like sea food, they have some other fun dishes for you.“

“Such a cool treasure!The location is a historical neighborhood with a view of San Pablo Bay and train line.Staff were fun, engaging and welcoming.Wish we had 3 more hours to take in all the tchotchkes and historical pieces.The Warehouse is a rare and special gem.“

“Same location where it was called Pizza Antica before. The location in Google maps is incorrect and actual location is across the side street from the parking lot.Good food, very good and friendly service. Try the mushroom pizza, salmon, or chicken dish. They also have $7 sangria specials starting on Thursdays every week.The ambience is friendly and the decor is minimalist. The portions are big. You can see the impact of inflation in the prices.If you pay using the QR code (sends you to Toast) it includes tax for calculating tip percentages, which is not great. Hopefully they fix it.Vegetarian options: They will customizeKid-friendliness: Small selection of usual kids items“

“Great place to hang out chill little bar“

“Came here with no expectations and was blown away. Sophia was amazing, she knew what to recommend out of their large menu. Had a Ninety-Nine Roll, Sweet Dream dessert and some Sake Nigiri. Everything is delicious, and you can tell the fish is absolutely fresh. Thank you Sophia and Mikuni! We'll be back“

“Love this place Great service“

“The owner is one amazing man! The epitome of customer service and bar tending. All the bar tenders were so knowledgeable as well as friendly. Despite having such a big party right at happy hour he made us feel seen and heard, was able to tend to every other party, and gave us a great experience. This will 100% be our go to bar since we’re local and hopefully we have the pleasure of crossing their paths again! If you have a choice come here and get a pickle martini!“

“Great food and drinks! We had guac & chips. And we recommend the Diablo Shrimp & Grits, Shrimp & Mango Salad (no shrimp bcuz birthday gal dislikes like it, lol) and the Chicken Suiza Enchiladas with cilantro rice and black beans? I did receive a Pomegranate Mimosa, not a Blood Orange Mimosa but I did not say complain. And we sat at outside back patio and it did get too warm from sun hitting the top.“

“Love this bar! Not many great places to go in the area but this bar is always a good time! Karaoke on tuesdays! So much fun“

“Karaoke night at the Captain's Chest is awesome! The Karaoke Jockey is awesome and the people are fun and friendly. I always have a great time.“

“Always fabulous!! Great for vegan, vegetarian, & carnivores“

“We really enjoyed tides and will come back. Service on the patio was a little slow, but we noticed that it was very busy inside so understand. My Chilean sea bass was good but a little overcooked. At the price for that meal, I would expect a better cooked Serving.“

“Clayton Bar and Grill is our new local favorite. The food and drinks never disappoint. The eggplant sandwich is delicious, as well as the pesto chicken sandwich, all the burgers, the cheese curds, chicken wings, and the salads. The service is prompt and friendly, yet not overbearing. The restaurant is comfortable and quaint.“

“I took my wife and mother-in-law to the Mother's Day brunch at the Lafayette Park Hotel. The buffet option was exceptional, with plenty of very fresh seafood options, a number of vegetarian and non-meat options, cheese and fruit, as well as an entrée from a predetermined list. The dessert selections were incredible! Luis was our server and was absolutely fantastic! He catered to our orders exceptionally well, was attentive and ensured we had a great experience. Overall, fantastic experience to celebrate the wonderful ladies in my life. “

“The service throughout our meal was impeccable with attentive staff that was very accommodating. The cocktails were so well crafted, everyone at the table was excited and pleased with each drink. They truly have the most creative bar. As for the food, it was simply outstanding—fresh ingredients cooked to perfection and had nice presentation. The ambiance was sophisticated yet comfortable, making for a memorable dining experience. We can't wait to come back and bring more friends and try sitting outside when the weather is nice“

“Our favorite Mexican restaurant!! The Ahi Aguachile (sashimi dish) was amazing, as was the Chicharron Tacos (pork belly). Service is fabulous and the people are fantastic.“

“My brothers and little sis came here for our monthly dinner together and made a reservation since it was memorial weekend and we weren't sure if it'd be busy or not. From the moment you arrive to the door and the dry ice fountain it looked amazing! We walked in and it's definitely an experience. It was the cutest little tiki restaurant. I thought we'd step in in Hawaii. We were seated right away. Our waitress brought us water and we order shorty after. We ordered the pagan wing's appetizer, the loco moco, Kaluhua pork plate, quesabirria tacos and a frozen pina colada. The wings were by far all of our favorites. The presentation was beautiful and they pour fire over it. It was delicious. The loco mocos were okay (brothers both said it could've used a lot but more flavor and sauce), the Kaluha pork plate was yummy (wish the macaroni salad was a little more creamy). On the other hand the quesa birria tacos were very stuffed and delicious! I would suggest you try the wings and the tacos if you come here. As for the frozen pina colada I wouldn't suggest if you can't take drinks that are really strong ( my brother loves strong drinks so he took it) Other than that I will be coming back with my husband“

“Excellent food. I eat out a lot and I’ve tried many Thai restaurants in my life. This one is my favorite and the wait staff is awesome. Took family and friends here a few times already. Discovered them over a year ago.“

“What is there to say? This place is the best: drink quality, the fun atmosphere, pricing, the variety, and awesome bartending!We've had every type of drink and it's always been knocked out of the park!"A must try" if you're in the area.Tip your bartenders! ?“

“Had a wonderful dinner here. We sat outdoors as we had a dog with us and they were very welcoming to us and our pet. It was a little on the pricy side, but everything was so delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. We started with drinks. Between us we had a Ginger Martini, Raspberry margarita, Summer Refresher, and a beer. They arrived quickly and were very good. Two of us had Caesar Salads and raved about them. For dinner we had the scallops (wow! not only beautiful but perfectly cooked!), the salmon, and a filet mignon. Everyone loved their dinner! We had no leftovers to take home! We will definitely come again.“

“The staff at Bentley's made my birthday happy hour very special. The environment was welcoming and fun. The staff was attentive to our groups needs. We highly recommend this new jewel cocktail lounge. Has been added to our list of regular hangs.“

“Always the nicest place to hangout. Feels cozy. Best coffee drinks. I love that you can call ahead and they will bring your order to your car.“

“Fun spot for live music, drinks, and bar games. The night we came in, there was an Abba cover band. They were fantastic and we had so much fun singing along. We didn't eat any food here, so I'm unable to comment on that. I would definitely go back!“

“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.“

“My husband and I had dinner at Isola Osteria tonight for our first time and we had a wonderful experience. We had a reservation at 8pm, but they weren't able to seat us right away so they offered us a complimentary glass of wine. We sipped our wine and were seated fifteen minutes later al fresco. It was a bit chilly, but the heating lamps kept us perfectly warm as we listened to the nice live music, which was a man playing a guitar. We ordered Arrancini and Carpaccio di Manzo for appetizers. Then we shared Risotto di Zucca and Porchetta al Forno. Everything was perfect and so delicious. We can't wait to return again soon. Thank you for a great night.“

“I am newer to Benicia and LOVE Mexican food. Have been going to Sandovals for tacos (they don’t serve margs) and Elvaritas for margaritas (great margs but okay food).Stumbled upon N07 as they were the only Mexican place open at 3pm on a weekday. Little did I know, I had been missing out! They had amazing food and margs. I’ve been 3x in the week I discovered them.Go. Enjoy. The cook is fantastic.“

“My friend found this place for Happy Hour and it’s been my favorite place ever since. I always get the pickle chips. So good if it’s hot. Tacos are decent too! I’m not an onion rings fan but they service good rings. Wings are decent. Wings are huge and only $5 during HH.Drinks are good. The only con is everything is salty so you drink more. It’s not overly salted, it’s just a lot of salt overall.“

“This is a nice bar to hang out and have a good drink. Drinks will cost you from $15-$20 each. They have nice vintage looking decor and lounge seating. It is very laid back, but has an upscale feel for downtown Danville. I enjoyed my French 75, and will be back with friends for another drink sometime soon.“

“This was my first time at Hops & Scotch and had a very nice experience. We had to sit inside, due to a patio by out, but that didn't make a difference to us. The servers, all of them, were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good as well. The extensive list of bourbons, whiskey's, etc. was so extensive that I know I'll be back to sample as many as possible. The ability to choose your flight is a great way to be able to work your way through the extensive collection. All in all it was a great experience and will be returning.“

“Lively place with live music that makes you want to get up and dance“

“My Birthday is Cinco de Mayo so I was on the hunt for a great margarita all week long, while I visited the Bay Area. My mom and I love hanging in the Veranda whenever I'm in town and have yet to try Puesto. We grabbed a bar seat and immediately made friends with a couple sitting near by. They recommended the House Margarita noting that it was super fresh and strong. We went with the Cadillac Margarita because we were celebrating and couldn't resist the little bottle of Grand M, super festive touch. We didn't order any food but noticed everything was a bit pricey. The place is pretty swanky so you know how that goes. We enjoyed our Margaritas and pushed off. I'd definitely return for another.“

“First time stopping by here after work. I started at the bar to order some happy hour drinks and appetizers and then moved on to a table with friends. The bartender and server at the table were great. The atmosphere inside was very chill, not too crowded, and had people from every walk of life. I would definitely be coming back. My only thing was the chicken wings I ordered were supposed to be salt and pepper but came out with little to no seasoning. I did try the fries, and they were decent.“

“Excelente Bar típico americano!“
