20 Best Cocktail Bars near Port Costa

“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.“

“Ok so first, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS, AMAZING, TERRIFIC, and so much more. Second, once you have ordered your food it will come in 15 or less minutes! Third, once you come into the restaurant, (you may have to wait in a line) the hostess will ask you for your name and phone number, if you want to be seated outside or inside, and how long the wait time is (about 20 minutes). Lastly, you should definitely consider coming to Jack's if you're feeling hungry! (They serve breakfast until 2:00pm and lunch all day.) PS you HAVE to try the Mac and cheese!Vegetarian options: You could get the omelet (which is very good) if you are looking for something that is for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: The hostess would ask you if you want a kid(s) menus. Plenty of options on the kids menu.“

“Enjoyed another delicious and relaxing evening with the folks at Bella Siena. Service was excellent, food was delicious as were the drinks. The calamari was our starter with, of course, their yummy bread and carmelized onion dipping oil and we moved on to incredible entree's.“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“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.“

“We had amazing service on our first visit to Crescent Bistro. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing without feeling intimidating or overly swanky -- just really welcoming. Our waitress was a joy and she was so helpful with finding the best things on the menu and helping me decide. I took her advice about the beet salad and the navy bean, kale and sausage soup. The soup was fantastic. And I don't know when or if I've enjoyed a salad so much. My partner and I shared a plate of deviled eggs made with cured salmon and a dill and crème' fresh drizzle. Wow! It was a little too spicy hot for me, but I'm a wimp with hot spice. In my conversation with the waitress, I mentioned it was my birthday and she brought out a special treat of a gooey brownie with caramel sauce and toasted marshmallow fluff! It was only half a brownie, but it was so gooey and rich that I couldn't finish and had to bring half of it home. I was thankful that there was no birthday song to go along with it -- Whew! My partner got the butternut squash risotto with grilled shrimp on top. It was creamy and delicious. He also ordered an amazing looking Mocha in a good sized mug. I don't drink coffee, but it looked delicious. Even though we arrived 30 minutes before closing, our kind waitress kept reminding us that there was no rush and we could take our time. That was a nice treat to feel relaxed and able to enjoy the meal fully. This restaurant was not busy when we went, which was great, but I hope everyone discovers it so it doesn't shut down like the wonderful Pasta Pomodoro before. Please eat here. I want this place to stay open! There are so few restaurants left that have a warm, inviting atmosphere where you don't feel robbed by the time you pay your bill! Love this place. I'll keep coming back. Oh, by the way, our waitress told us that brunch on Saturday and Sunday goes until 4pm and it's fantastic. Can't wait to try it!“

“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.“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“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“

“Just discovered this place. The foos was great and so was the service“

“A Great place to enjoy good drinks and great people.Darts & pool available.Sports games on many TVs.Local business with awesome owners & hosts / bartenders.A good time can be had by all.Outside patio for more space, food trucks visit often for munching out.“

“of course its excellant.. it belongs to my #6 son.......“

“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!“

“Nice for the price. A good place to take a date on a moderate budget somewhere with a classy atmosphere and delicious, lovely dishes. Mostly seafood, but they did have a few non-seafood dishes. My only complaint was that my ice tea came pre-sweetened, but as I understand, that was a back-up powdered mix. They did replace it with an alternate unsweetened drink when I requested it.“

“love this place always have a good time“

“Live beautiful experimental jazz on a Tuesday evening in El Cerrito. Looks like I'm going to be a regular.Parking: Street from what I can tell, plenty across the street.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel on in. 2 steps to get to lounge in rear.“

“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“

“Depending on your preference for AYCE Korean BBQ, this place can be a hit or miss. If you enjoy the taste of meat then I would not recommend this place since a lot of their meat is marinated. The staff is nice and quick, but they are definitely still learning how to go about situations. It kind of sucks that their ice cream is behind the premium paywall, but Cold Stone is a few stores down and is ultimately better. They take your time talking to you, which can feel like you are not getting your moneys worth, but with how quick they are, I say it’s worth it. I also enjoy that the cheese corn was already cooked for our table.“

“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.“

“Went with a group of 17 for a birthday dinner that being said they didn't seem to be able to handle a group that size even tho it was reserved 3 weeks in advance. Took 2 hrs for them to take our order. They gave us plenty of bread while we waited but the wait was long. Drinks were great staff was “
