Antlers is a local bar for the area's local yokels. We are new in the area and saw a sign in Antlers' window about Thursday night's Prime Rib special. It turned out it was special because that was the only choice on the menu, I thought what the heck, I came for the prime rib anyways so no problem. It turned out there was a problem. If you are not a local you are wasting your time coming here. We got ignored long enough to get the message that we weren't welcome. One server disappeared into the back and never came back out. Two women servers seem to enjoy gossiping with the yokels more than even acknowledging our presence. Then maybe their mirth was watching us wait to get served. Needless to say we ate elsewhere that evening. Next time? Maybe I'll get good service if I announce that my mom is also my sister? read more

Very loud music and a dog was brought in . If the music is too loud for me , imagine what it does to a dog that hear 7 times better than us. read more

Antlers Tavern - Not good for him! - Bars Near Me - Pinole, California

A little old and outdated, however the service was wonderful, and the Friday night Prime rib was delicious and cooked to perfection, and you can't be the price at $20 per person that includes a veggie, potato and a huge slice of price rib. read more

Very nice place to enjoy drinks with friends and delicious food lo recomiendo muy buen servicio ambiente

Food: 4/5 No food really offered other than the standard menu which was not available at the time of my experience. The drinks were okay and there is a full bar. Service: 3/5 Friendly bartender. Ambiance: 5/5 There is a pool table you are able to use with a few quarters which was nice. The decor is unique and everyone there (other guests) were really friendly. It seems there is a lack of reviews or recommendations for this tavern, possibly due to lack of food, but I enjoyed the cozy feeling. read more

Antlers Tavern - Tequila with lime and tonic water - Bars Near Me - Pinole, California

Not bad, but not great. A lot of white-hairs slurping down their well whiskey at 7 am. Gruff, ruff, and blue-collar. Lots of monosyllabic slurring from the clientele. Never had an issue with the barkeep. It's a bit "Wt Trsh" if you catch my drift. All good, though. There's divy-er spots in El Sobrante/Rodeo/Crockett/Pinole/San Pablo, believe it or not. Yeah, it's believable. Wish we had a sound English-style pub in the area to down a pint and discuss Chaucer, Cromwell, and Dickens. Aye, 'tis what it 'tis. read more

One of my local rotational bars when I feel like getting out. Despite what you think/heard about this place, it's not that bad. Folks are friendly and mind their own business. Prices on drinks are reasonable compared other bars nowadays. I like simple drinks, a good IPA on tap with a shot to sip on. There's a pool table and also live music on some nights (not sure of their schedule). They also serve food especially the prime rib on Thursdays, which I did try one time. Price is very good for a full plate. read more

Stopped in here twice after work this week, and both times had great service from bartenders Bonnie and Romina. Really friendly regulars sitting at the bar kept me engaged in good conversation and laughter; perfect for the end of a Friday and Saturday work day! They have a great set up inside with spacious bar seating, a few scattered tables, and lots of open space for hanging out too. A handful of tap beers, and fast service with good prices. Super cool that I stumbled in here and even though I'm rarely out in Pinole, I totally like this place and I look forward to coming back to play pool and listen to live music. read more

First time here with friends for a drink and was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a NY steak dinner special on Thursdays. NY steak dinner with all the fixings?!?!? $13?!?!? Count me in!!! Asked for medium rare, and received my steak perfectly cooked and seasoned well (no steak sauce needed). The steak was flanked by a fluffy baked potato w/ butter&sourcream , toasted bread, veggies and corn on the cob. My meal was paired perfectly with a Vodka soda. Definitely will be back and you know it will be a THURSDAY. read more

Antlers Tavern - Delish!!!! Thursday steak special $13 - Bars Near Me - Pinole, California

I could see why people would be off put by the bartender. Went in on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty. Was able to get our drinks pretty quickly. No frills type of place. Straight to the point and cheap drinks. If you're looking for a dive bar this is an okay spot to check out. read more

Haven't been to this bar in years and its smells like urine inside the whole place. The smell hits you once you walk into antlers and yes the bartender was Rude and sucked. Ordered one drink that was disappointing watered down drink and left couldn't stand the smell of urine didn't matter where we moved the smell was everywhere. I don't understand how ppl can drink with the nasty smell of urine!! I can only imagine how the food tastes i wouldn't order any honestly. read more

Been open since 1890. It's very Pinole. Check it out. Take an Uber or a Lyft home. You'll probably get wasted. Bring some friends. Relax. Check out the old tyme ceilings in this place and wonder about what it used to be like over 100 years ago when it first opened. Welcome to Pinole. read more

Antlers Tavern - Interior - Bars Near Me - Pinole, California

Don't waste your time here. The bartender is extremely rude and the place was very unwelcoming. Racist vibes all around and we got stared down the whole time. When we got our drinks the bartender threw the coasters at us. Horrible service and drinks aren't even good. read more

First time at this restaurant. Service is slow we waited for about 45min for our food, well other people who arrived after us and ordered after us were served before us. Not cool Only one bartender/server. My friend was given a dirty glass. I noticed lipstick on his glass of water..... read more

Antlers Tavern - Sunday Mimosas with Baby Cakes - Bars Near Me - Pinole, California

Update: I went there on a night that a band was supposed to be playing but they weren't there. I looked around, looked for my friends, and the female bartender gave me a dirty look. Not a "Can I help you?" look or "Are you looking for someone?" look but a glare. read more

So my brother took me to this tavern wanting to try their steak dinner. Remind you, this is a bar. They have steak dinners on Thursday night for cheap. The dinner was good for the $ spent. Fun environment for sure. I would definitely come back. read more

Taking the pandemic into consideration, the service and attitude were the worst! Bar had 2 customers but we had to inquire about drinks and we weren't even told that food was served! Waitress behind the bar was surly. All the employees we encountered had major problems that we interrupted their day. This spot was a total loser! read more

My wife and I had their Prime Rib and sadly it was disappointing. The presentation was unappetizing. The meat looked like it was boiled and the side of vegetables looked and tasted like some old canned good. Our meat was rubbery and cold. There was no favor and the waitress got upset with us when we asked for salt and pepper and for A1 and ketchup. She later came back and gave us a couple of Taco Bell sauce packets. WTF!!!! She didn't give us any salt and pepper because she said they don't have any. We heard some good reviews but sadly our experience wasn't that. The photo someone posted on their steak looked great but ours didn't looked like that. We looked at other people orders and it looked just like ours. It is a bar after-all and cook must have been drunk that day or out somewhere. read more

I really enjoy this place. Nice friendly atmosphere. It's a great place to stop in for a drink that won't break the bank. If you get there early, they have food too! read more

Great local tavern. Old school bar. Great mushroom cheeseburger. Music on weekends.

Damn fine place to go. My favorite is all the old timers that love you talk shit and bust balls just like the old days. Can't fake places like this. Good bartenders/owner and pours! They have good breakfast on the weekends too. Win-win! read more

This place is straight up racist. Walked in and the people were staring and the lady was very rude by not only trying to find us a seat. But asking us for our ids right away. I found out from my friend who lives here locally that it is notorious for being racist and rude. Don't go here if you are a person of color. read more

Got a totally racist vibe walking up to the entrance of this place. Usually I'm into breaking the color barrier, however this place didn't seem or feel inviting at all. It's 2019 and still???? I got that "go round back and get your food to go" vibe. Ugh! It's a bar so I was like Nah not for me! I've heard about this "behavior" in Pinole, but haven't personally experienced it until now. They advertise NY steak for $10 and I was game, but the looks we received at the entrance I instantly changed my mind. If I was maybe with more people or had a white friend with me... I would say do better, but there's much better everything - people, vibes, and food other places. read more

I've been coming to Antlers for 10 years now and am just getting around to write this review. Antler's is a real blast from the past and one of the few truly authentic neighborhood bars left in the Bay Area. The bar itself dates back to the 1890s and to a Pinolean, who has typically lived in Pinole most of their lives and who are very proud of their rich Native American, Spanish and settler history, Antlers is at the center of their community. The folks that frequent Antlers are salt of the earth, working class regular folk that like to go and shoot the breeze with Dave, the bartender/ owner and maybe run into an old friend or two. On a typical night at the bar you might meet a rancher from Briones, a rigging technician who works at The Warfield in SF or an elderly gentleman who recently lost his wife of 50 years and hadnt gotten out of the house in several months. There are alot of young 20 something women, from the area, showing up lately mixing it up with the regulars and enjoying the great lineup of live music put together by Dave, a few times a week. Their draft beer selection isn't bad either and there aren't many places that only charge $6.00/pint. read more

I'm so glad that they have 1 of the best cooks in the Bay Area Emilio couldn't ask for a better Saturday/ Sunday breakfast when Emilio is behind the kitchen doing his cooking making his breakfast top notch consistently thanks cousin for doing the excellent cooking again you rock and yes he's my cousin lol but 1 he'll of a cook read more

Antlers is a corner tavern in downtown pinole. dropped in to get a beer to clear my mouthful of msg aftertaste from eating Pho nearby Antlers has large area to mingle around. on tap: many buds, apple cider, a few standard micros, 15 in all. brew: drake's Denog.(5) -thought bottle was stronger. bartender informed me draft beer has .2% more alcohol. on draught: -above average clean bar -didn't see designer spirtis, micros. -ok pub to grab an average brew, but nothing exceptional -pricing seems reasonable, didn't inquire about pricing. 3.5 stars read more

The female bartender have drinks with locals like a ritual, But she is very racist to people of color. And I being in pinole longer than she being a bartender. I was blatantly over charged and the owner sat there and did nothing. People of color don't go there. read more

Julia's Waffles is now serving at Antlers 8AM-12PM! Julia's Waffles are by far the best waffles i've eaten in a while, they have different variety for everyone's liking: Sweet and Savory. My personal favorite if you're doing sweet is Masons Cookies which has oreo bits inside the waffles. If you're going savory I would go big with the Heart Attack which has Chicken, Bacon, AND cheese inside the waffle. read more

We have seen their sign in the window for years - prime rib $13 Friday, New York steak $10 Thursday...Finally felt we had to check it out. They only serve this one menu option on the day advertised and it starts at 6pm. There is no one to seat you. It's the local pub. Find a table and sit down. The lady whom I believe may be the owner comes and ask you how you want your steak if it's Thursday. The serving size is good and it comes with veg and baked potato with sour cream and butter. No frills dinner and the place is a little dark so it's difficult to see your food if you pick a table in the back. The second time we went, we sat at a table by the window. But hey, for the price, if you are lazy to cook and are on a budget, you should check it out. read more

Good economical breakfasts served on the weekends that pair nicely with a Bloody Mary or a beer. Chill environment.

Who wouldn't be tempted with a steak dinner for cheap? After moving in nearby, we wanted to try whatever is around us to have new favorite places to go to. Food is good, but the place is a little bit too loud for me. I know it's a bar and there's a lot of people while we were there. It can be tolerated. We haven't tried their breakfast, so we have to go again to find out. Staff is definitely friendly. Sometimes a place grows on you, and this is one of them. Give it a shot. read more

Antlers Tavern - Bars Near Me - Pinole, California

I think folks give it 3 stars because they are judging Antlers by modern suburban TV standards. It is a throw back and that is what makes it so great. I noticed all different colors of people in attendance the one night I visited this place. I am thinking about visiting right now. $5 tacos were great and alot of food. The live music by a 40 something male with long hair and a hat was better than expected. There is wi-fi, card games, and lots of space here. The bartender had a poker face but he was a quick draw on the drinks. Most bars are becoming corporation-owned. Enjoy this gem while you can. Everyone was friendly and I was a middle aged scruffy stranger in bad shorts with fat legs. read more

We have stopped in here 2 times because the signs outside promise food not just a bar. Both times we sat at a table and waited. Nobody came to talk to us, there was no indication that we should order at the bar or what. It was like a noisy guessing game! Both times, we walked out without anyone even knowing we had been here. So is there prime rib good? Only the regulars know for sure. read more
