The security guard at this location was completely out of line and on a major power trip. My husband and I visited with another couple, and the interaction started almost immediately when we got off the elevator. If you've been here, you know the elevator opens into a very small entry space before you even fully enter the bar. Before I had even stepped off the elevator, the security guard was aggressively grabbing my friend's husband to check his ID. For context, we are all in our mid to late 40s and clearly not under 21. My friend's husband had just noticed a friend at the bar and walked over to say hello and give them a quick hug. That's when the security guard grabbed and pulled him in a very aggressive manner. When my husband calmly stepped in and said that the grabbing was unnecessary, the guard escalated the situation further. He became confrontational and even told my husband he could come back at 1:30 when he got off work if he wanted to "handle it." This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. As a Livermore resident, I will not support an establishment that allows their employees,especially security staff,to treat customers this way. Staff should be ensuring safety, not provoking confrontations with patrons. read more

I experienced a serious and unacceptable billing issue at Azotea in Livermore. The correct total for my order was $60, yet I was initially charged $98. I immediately canceled the transaction due to the incorrect amount. Despite the cancellation, the restaurant processed another charge to my card for $158.70, an amount I did not authorize. Charging a customer after a transaction has been canceled is unacceptable and raises concerns about the restaurant's payment handling and internal controls. I am now forced to dispute this charge with my bank due to the merchant's failure to correct their own error. This experience reflects a lack of accountability and poor financial practices that no customer should have to deal with. Until Azotea addresses these billing issues and demonstrates responsible handling of customer payments, I cannot recommend this establishment. read more

This rooftop spot has so much potential given the prime location, but unfortunately it's just not worth the time or money right now. On a Friday night -- not even a busy one -- we were seated outside and waited 30 minutes without receiving our drinks. When they finally arrived, they weren't even made correctly (it was just a basic gin and tonic). We asked for a fix and ended up waiting again. When we checked inside, the host told us it would "take time," so we ended up leaving the drinks and heading somewhere with better service. Not worth it! read more

We stopped by on the way home from Gilroy and we did make a reservation because it was a Saturday evening. It was empty. We sat on the roof and it was chilly but we had them turn on the heater. The service is slow. Like I said it was empty there was 2 other tables and it still took them 10 minutes to get our drink order. Another 15 minutes to order. We ordered an appetizer that had zero flavor and the steak bites were dry. The steak on the surf and turf had ZERO flavor and was overcooked the shrimp again ZERO flavor. They need to improve their flavors and customer service. I will not be back. read more

I was here with a group of friends after the new year. We made a reservation for the outdoor seating. It was cold and windy hence after our drinks were done we requested to be moved in for dinner if there's available seats. The staff was very helpful and they helped us move inside. The service is great, the food was okay and the cocktails were also worth trying out. They had really good DJ music we really enjoyed. We ordered couple of appetizers such as streak tacos, cocktail shrimps, and the shrimp with rice and vegetables. We had a great time. The entrance is a bit confusing as you have to come to the side of a pizza place (which is no longer there), look for elevator and go to the third floor. read more

First time here..... We were kinda confused about where to enter, until we saw the signage outside of the office building.... We took the elevators up and BOOM walked into a little hidden Oasis Surprisingly we were pretty much the only ones there..... at first Inside of the restaurant is rather small, outside (rooftop area) is nice, lots of seating and decent views of downtown Based on the time we arrived we were only allowed to order from the brunch menu and my friend came there with the mind set to order a specific seafood plate that is only offered on the dinner menu......WOMPERS so be mindful of that.. Drinks are good (kinda pricey) Food is good, large portions and reasonably priced (empanadas are 10/10) Staff is friendly Over all this is a nice restaurant with a good ambiance. We would come back here again read more

I was so excited to try this place. A rooftop in Livermore!!! Yayyy Located in downtown Livermore which was really nice, you gotta take the elevator up to third floor. Once I got there, I got mixed feelings, the place look nice but kind of not organized. 'Please wait to be seated' sign was in handwritten on a piece of paper...ok I tried not to judge yet, got seated ordered drink&food. My tamarind drink was actually great and my entree as well BUT what turned me off was the sauce container! It was a plastic container... if you want to make it rooftop vibe, why can't you spend couple more dollars on the sauce containers? Later, I noticed they started serving water in plastic cup as well not to mentioned, service was really slow and not professional. Hostess could have smiled more and server could have been faster and more productive. I had to wait for my check for more than 10 mins. Once he got it for me, he stopped at another table to take the order first then dropped it off to me then waited and waited... no where he was found so I decided to walked inside to pay, he said 'thank you, see you' I then replied'I still have to pay' Oh well, while I was up on the rooftop, I saw many restaurants down the street and sure enough, those would be where I would visit next time. FYI, there are free parking garage nearby. read more

Very good service and food! Great place to have a drink and finger food to chill and enjoy good music

I don't even want to share this place it's so cool! It is what used to be Aviation. You can see all of Livermore and the sun set from their patio. Second Sunday's they have a pretty good Banda, fun vibe, no drama in the patio. Drinks are pretty good. I've never eaten her but drinks are pretty good. Service is a little slow but it's usually packed to the brim. Make a reservation! read more

Came here last night for date night. Downtown Livermore was a bit busier than I thought as we couldn't find parking. The parking lot down the street was pretty full too. Granted it was a Friday night. It was interesting to find. You walk into what looks like a business/office building and take the elevator to the 3rd floor in order to reach the restaurant. We wanted to sit outside and the rooftop views were nice. They had little tables with fire pits. Those were cute. They service was fine. The waiters were attentive and pleasant. We ordered garlic shrimp as a starter. It was only 5 shrimps with two pieces of bread. I did not taste much garlic. It was in some sauce that tasted like tomato based. It wasn't that great. Felt a bit ripped off for $17. I had the linguine clam pasta which I enjoyed! There were decent amount of clams and the flavor was nice. He had the steak bevette and he said his steak was over cooked. Too chewy. Also we think it. did not have as much flavor as we had hoped. There are only two bathrooms, one for mens and one for womens. Its not stalls. Its a person door. I went to go to the bathroom and there were 4 females waiting in line and I was number 5. Here we are waiting cramped in the corner with their storage chairs and high chairs and guys trying to walk by to their bathroom. It took quite a while before it was my turn. read more

Azotea - Wine Bars Near Me - Livermore, California

We were looking for a place for brunch in downtown Livermore and decided to try Azotea. Get ready to be transported-- you take the elevator up to the rooftop and enter a sleak restaurant that opens up to a large patio with lights, umbrellas, fire pits-- and a beautiful view of the Livermore hills!! Nothing like a lovely venue to make you feel special. As for vegetarian options, there are 3 starters including Chile Relleno, Mediterranean Nachos-- we went with chip's & guacamole-- made fresh to order! There are 7 vegetarian brunch options-- I went with the Champagne Omelet -- omelet with champagne, mushrooms, spinach, cheddar, crema, herbs, with house potatoes. You could taste the champagne! Unique and upscale. My husband enjoyed his chilaquiles-- extra extra filling if you add chicken. The staff were friendly and even helped us find a nearby bookstore. Would come back for the view especially! read more

My friends and I recently visited this place based around certain reviews because of ambiance, rooftop bar and drinks. However, we came across the most worst experience ever. I ordered a hot toddy, my partner ordered a irish coffee whereas my friend had ordered a margarita. I had a drink that tasted nothing but a lemon hot watered down drink. Nothing boasted anything with a bourbon taste. The WORST tasting drink that's even featured on the menu. On top of that, the Irish coffee was also watered down but the staff was not remotely understanding and I had to argue with the staff that we had a drink that was already paid for that had little to no alcohol at all. By the time we had finished our so-called cocktails, my friend had already closed out the tab for us so she can leave ahead of us while my partner and I had been harassed and asked we pay for our drinks. To our dismay, we had already PAID for our cocktails based upon our friend who had taken a photo of the receipt and told us it was already paid for. Ultimately, the staff was not only condescending, but the hurdle of the bar staff, chased down my partner and I to meet us downstairs after taking the elevator, after we had mentioned multiple times, the drinks were already paid for. The bartender was extremely dismissive but was rude and we were rightfully polite after explaining and arguing we had paid the drinks. Even though we had drinks that were watered down and/or had zero alcohol in our cocktails. Would we ever recommend this place to anyone after the mistreatment we received? NO!! BEWARE! I would never tell friends and/or families to go here. We were being demanded to pay for drinks that were already paid for. I have a receipt for the drinks that were included on the bill. I would never come back for the lack of service, rude behavior of staff and being chased down for something that we have not done as a result of the staff to be so rude to paying customers. NEVER would I come back here again. Even after we had mentioned and told our friend who had paid and had contacted the manager and called what had happened. They were trying to repay us by visiting again with free drinks on the house but I would NEVER consider it after the mistreatment we received whatsoever. This the worst experience I had ever encountered and I would tell you, NEVER COME here. There are far better places to go than this place around this area. The receipt should tell you otherwise that it appears on the actual receipt read more

We almost kept walking past this past as I thought it was a tea location. We walked in without reservations with plenty open seats. The roof top is adorable and could be such a great spot! However, they sat us down and after settling down they asked us to move. No problem. We moved tables, settled down and got our menus. 5 minutes later being asked again to move for a reservation in an hour. We came for drinks only, we tried to order a drink on the menu they didn't have it. Bummer. Basic drinks-nothing special. Keep in mind if you're ordering drinks only they will add a large party tax to your bill with 6 people. Will maybe try it out in a year or two to see how they've improved. read more

Overall an ok experience! The ambiance was nice and we went for sunset. We were sitting at our table outside for what seemed like a while before any server came around. There were also barely any people there... We ordered drinks first, which were very expensive and took a while to come out, and then we ordered food. The drinks were tasty but also came out like 5 min before the food did. The food was ok, not great for the price, also it was more so lukewarm when we got it. Our server was nice, but he took a while to get our check and ended up forgetting it with which we had to remind him. It happens! But kind of disappointing, as I mentioned before, there were barely any people there to keep track of. read more

Hi everyone If I could give that place a place a 0 I would! On Wednesday night around 11:16 I was inappropriately touched by the owner. On Wednesday they held their pre thanksgiving event and after going there a few times in the past we decided to go! The ambiance was great, everyone was having a great time.I am doing the no alcohol November so I was completely sober so I was having so much fun up until the incident happened! "Mind you his wife was there" I had my best friend and her boyfriend and a friend waiting for me at the bar when I walked up to them and the owner inappropriately grabbed my behind and as it was happening 2 people witnessed! He was so hammered from all alcohol he was consuming "I have proof" and played it off that he didn't know what was going on! One of his waiters tried to cover and say nothing happened, but 3 witnesses saw the whole incident which them broke into a physical fight because my friend was telling him that it was not OK that he had touched me, so he had one friend in red push my friend' and another! Please, if you have any children don't go here! He was not remorseful at all, because later on that night we saw him trying to get into the bar in front called rebel! I filed a police report! And will definitely be seeking legal advice because what he did to me is absolutely disgusting inappropriate and if he did it to me, he could do it to anybody else! read more

First of all, let me say Livermore is hot as hell. They had outdoor seating, but after ten minutes, we asked to come inside. And it was pretty cozy, nothing special. For sure, cooler. Once inside, we ordered our drinks. I wanted the milkyway Expresso, and the bar didn't have certain items, but she did a fantastic job trying, so no complaints. Drinks were all good. The brunch babes didn't complain. The food was just Ok. Nothing wowed me. I enjoyed it, but I won't frequent the place unless I'm meeting folks there. A suggestion would be maybe to extend the menu a bit. Not too many choices. Oh, btw, our server was really cool. read more

Disappointing Experience Despite Great Ambiance We really wanted to love Azotea. The location and rooftop setting in downtown Livermore are fantastic, but unfortunately, the experience fell short on nearly every other front. Service was inattentive throughout our visit. We had to ask multiple times for water refills, and even then, they never came. One of our drinks was brought out still in the can--unopened--with no glass or ice. It felt careless. Our meals came out about 10 minutes apart, so we weren't able to enjoy our food together. On a chilly, windy day, we asked several times to have the outdoor heater turned on and only after repeated reminders did it finally happen. We also ordered grilled jalapeños that never arrived. Food-wise, it was hit or miss. The Arroz con Pollo was underwhelming--lacking both flavor and flair, and to make matters worse, they had run out of the chile relleno, leaving our vegetarian friend to settle for a very average mac and cheese. There's clearly potential here, but the execution--both in service and food--needs serious attention. Until then, I'd recommend trying one of the many other options nearby that pair atmosphere with better hospitality. read more

We came here on a Friday night and opted to sit out on the roof top. It was cold but they had a heat lamp (which was a bit weak) to try to keep us warm. It was nice to sit outside and have a nice view of the city. I ordered the north coast brewing but I wasn't a fan. The calamari however was delicious and I love the bits of fried jalapeno. The service was prompt and nice and they were giving out complimentary tequila shots. I would love to come back. read more

I love a good spot with a view--and Azotea delivers. I had the pleasure of dining here twice in one weekend: dinner on Friday, March 28th, and brunch the following afternoon on Saturday, March 29th. With two visits back-to-back, I aimed to get the full experience--and I'm glad I did. Both meals were fantastic. Let's start with the obvious: the rooftop view is stunning, but that's expected. What stood out beyond the aesthetics was the overall quality of the food, the drinks, and especially the service. Getting to the rooftop is simple--the elevator is clearly marked--but the process of being seated could use refinement. Both times, there was noticeable confusion: some guests seated themselves, while others were directed by a hostess who didn't seem particularly enthusiastic. Still, this small hiccup wasn't significant enough to warrant a deduction in stars. What certainly does warrant five stars is our outstanding server, Natalie. She was warm, witty, and attentive, offering genuinely helpful recommendations. Her presence elevated the entire evening and made the dinner feel especially relaxed and enjoyable. Our brunch server on Saturday was also kind and efficient, though the pace was much faster due to a busier crowd. The drinks menu is a highlight. I started with the El Camino cocktail--spiced with a subtle jalapeño note that brought depth without overpowering. My friend's passionfruit margarita was bright and refreshing. I followed that up with a fruity mezcalita with a Tajín rim (loved it), and ended the night with a raspberry lemon drop--so fresh and vibrant that I ordered it again during brunch the next day. For dinner on Friday, I followed Natalie's recommendations and started with the empanadas, which were flaky, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. She also suggested the freshly fried cod, which I ordered as a sandwich. It was crisp, light, and tasted homemade--right down to the house-made ketchup served with the fries. Brunch was equally impressive. I ordered the house salad, which might honestly be the best house salad I've ever had--even without adding protein. The avocado was incredibly fresh, and the fruit garnish was beautifully presented. My friend enjoyed the French toast, which was hearty and satisfying. Azotea is an ideal spot to catch up with friends over well-crafted drinks and thoughtfully made food. I love a good raspberry lemon drop, and Azotea's is now my favorite in Livermore. I suspect it's because of the freshly squeezed lemon juice, and it tastes like they muddle real raspberries rather than relying on flavored liqueur. The fried cod sandwich is another standout, but the highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly Natalie, who made our Friday night memorable with the most pleasant demeanor imaginable. Thank you, Azotea, for a beautiful rooftop weekend! read more

I went to the roof top bar at Azotea with a few friends during LepreCon on Saturday 3/14/26. We exited the elevator and when the doors opened my friend saw people he knew and went to hug/greet them. Then a security guard grabbed my friend up under his arm all crazy. We were taken off guard and he proceeded to berate my friend about needing to ID him. I mean cmon, have some professionalism. We had been there earlier in the day and we were ID'd at the bar not the door, we were definitely not trying to circumvent and are all grown in our 40s, not a group of kids. It felt excessive and thuggish and we had words about it. I told him he was doing way too much and ruining the business, acting like that. Then he took video or pictures with his phone and kicked us out, saying we're permanently banned. He also tried to provoke us and told us to come see him at 130am when he gets off. It's was all an unnecessary exchange and if that's the way the bar wants it's security to conduct themselves I'm good with the ban. The part I'm not good with is the fact that we kept it pushing and left without further incident only to get taken outside by security at another bar later that night. The photos taken of us were forwarded and they told me we were banned from all venues managed by their security group. Thankfully the man i dealt with there was very professional. I will definitely be adding a positive review separately for that. read more

Celebrating a birthday gone wrong. From the minute we walked in the hostess was cold and unfriendly. Like it was a bother to seat us. The server was trying to rush our order, then apparently she left on a break and no one told us. The Busser took our order. The camarones a la diabla were sour and limey, guacamole bland, skewers over cooked, ribs were drenched in sauce, rice was sticky. We let the busser know about the food concern and nobody came to address the issue, while they sat inside talking. Nothing stood out, not even something as simple as Mac and cheese or fries not to mention the drinks $20 for a watered down cocktail. $200+ for horrible food, worse service ever AND they added $40 gratuity. I don't mind tipping even when it's not a good experience but to be forced to do it, ridiculous. Keep my money, I will take my business elsewhere. The least they could do is keep their restroom clean. Don't waste your time or money. What happened rooftop???? So sad to see it go down like this. It use to be my favorite. We didn't even enjoy the view and intoxicated people were bouncing around everywhere. Do better Azotea. read more

Overall the view is what we enjoyed the most. They have happy hour from 4-6pm. The food was okay, chips and Guac was the best thing we got. Ordered 2 espresso martinis and they were okay. Could tell the vodka was well and not the best. The aftertaste was awful. Was told they were the best drink and that they've had good compliments about them. Not true from us two girls who drink them regularly. Tried to make a reservation originally, but was told they were booked. The roof was empty when we arrived and was still empty an hour later. read more

Me and my wife liked the place. Food and drinks were great. Would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the slow service. We were told that there was only 1 bartender (on a busy Saturday). But it won't stop us from going back. We tried the Azotea Margarita, El Camino and Old Fashioned Tequila which were all good. food: Ceviche was awesome, jalapeno dip was good, Empanada is ok, Shrimp a la diabla plate was nice as well. read more

Let me start off on a positive note! The ambience was amazing. Peaceful atmosphere and lovely music selections. However, sadly, The food, I can't say the same. The Chicken sandwich was dry with ZERO flavor. Tasted like it was battered and fried with zero seasoning base. Fish Tacos were also bland. Lacked any flavor and the drinks, coconut Paloma had no flavor. Very watered down. I will not be returning until you can improve your product. It's nothing personal. Best wishes, Ricardo read more

The bartender can make a drink. I had the perfect old fashion. Ceviche was delicious. Chicken Marsala was fantastic. Dessert was suppose to be being baked but came out cold. Had it been at least warm, it would have been great. The service was pretty good. It was too windy to sit outside so we moved indoors. We were waiting for the DJ and I am not sure if that was supposed to start at 9 or 930. We left around 9:45 and the DJ was still working on his Bloody Mary and Empanadas. Almost as if he was there for the meal, not to DJ. Kind of like he was doing them a favor or they were paying him with a meal. They should probably revisit their selection of a DJ. Honestly, if it wasn't for the DJ and his lack of professionalism, this would be a perfect place for a good meal and music. We went across the street for the music. read more

Honestly, this might be one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. We drove from Hayward to Livermore and somehow only ended up with one cocktail and two appetizers after waiting AN ENTIRE HOUR. When the food finally showed up, the rice was cold and literally hard. Three out of four items arrived and the manager had no clue the fourth was even missing. How does that even happen? Huge lack of attention and zero communication. Then comes the bill... $91 for 4 drinks and 2 appetizers. Absolutely outrageous considering the quality (or lack of it). We were definitely stunned by how bad the service and value were. If this is what they consider acceptable, that's honestly embarrassing. We will NOT be returning. read more

Went to Azotea for brunch on Mother's Day and everything was wonderful! -The view is awesome and they have plenty of umbrellas and heaters -Our server, Natalie was attentive and very pleasant! -We ordered the avocado toast and the french toast. It's was the best avocado toast I've ever had. It came with two eggs over medium, sliced cucumber, carrots, greens all served on top of a thin, crispy, buttery slice of toast. The french toast was delicious as well. Served with strawberries and blueberries, whipped cream, syrup and a blueberry compote. We got the compote on the side and decided it wasn't necessary with everything else it was served with. I've been here a few times for dinner and it will now be my new breakfast place *The only thing I would suggest to the restaurant is to serve the syrup warm or room temperature, because it was ice cold read more

Went for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. The rooftop was cute but nothing spectacular. The hightop chairs were incredibly uncomfortable. Drinks were really good (espresso martini, Azotea Margarita, and peach mimosas).. we didn't have much to eat but the chips and guac were tasty. Service was very slow but our waiter was nice. I honestly don't think I'd go out of my way to come back here though. read more

I really wanted to love this place, and to be fair, the food almost got it there. Almost. The calamari was genuinely good--flavorful, well-cooked, and clearly made with some care. But the service? Abysmal. We were seated and then basically forgotten. Orders took forever, the staff seemed disorganized, and getting anyone's attention felt like a full-time job. Now the drinks... strong. Like, dangerously strong. I'm not usually one to complain about a heavy pour, but when your coconut paloma tastes like you just did a shot of tequila with a whisper of lime in the next room, something's off. I'm all for a cocktail that packs a punch, but maybe add the actual ingredients enough so it at least resembles the drink on the menu? Overall, come for the food if you have time (and patience). Maybe skip the cocktails unless you're just trying to get tipsy fast and be prepared to P A Y. Drinks def cost more than the food. read more

Azotea - Bar area - Wine Bars Near Me - Livermore, California

The ambience is easily my favorite part of this restaurant - I simply don't understand why we don't have more rooftop establishments in the bay area, but this is a fantastic location, typically with good music, and a simultaneously lively, but also serene and pleasant mood. Food portions, selection and quality is not the highlight for me at this establishment. I've had some good quality food in portions that were too small and some disappointing food in huge portions... service has been hit or miss over the years, but generally is decent. They also have a nice cocktail list, and in general, I would say it's a great place to go for a small bite and a cocktail, both with a group of friends for fun, or as a couple for a more romantic mood. read more
