Cunha's Cocktails - 4/1/2026 daughter she's so beautiful! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

See all

I've been coming here on and off for years with my two friends whenever they want to celebrate something. Personally, this bar wouldn't make my top 50 list, but for some crazy reason they're loyal to it, so I show up for them. Recently, I've popped in a bit more and wow, the "changes." They finally made an Instagram, which got me excited for a second--maybe they were stepping it up. Nope. Just like everything else here, it's inconsistent. They post food specials, I come in ready to spend money, and... no food. Overheard it was a management issue. Shocking. Then there's the alcohol selection--or lack thereof. I'm not even a big drinker, and I have a better bar setup at home. Half the time they're out of basics, or waiting on the owner to maybe, someday, bring more. Call yourself a bar? More like BYOB and hope for the best. I'll give credit where it's due: I've met some cool people here, and they're the only thing keeping this place alive. But even they seem tired of the chaos. I heard this is the oldest bar in San Leandro, and honestly, I'm amazed it's still standing. Must be sheer luck or nostalgia, because it's definitely not management. Two stars because I don't hate the regulars--but let's be real, if this place wants to survive, it needs way more than an Instagram and a prayer. read more

I only came here because my buddy's a regular and told me I had to check it out. Honestly, worst bar experience I've had in a long time. Management is a mess. Handwritten "cash only" signs slapped up everywhere, hours that change whenever they feel like it, and zero consistency. The owner is the real issue--she's rude, has an attitude, and literally picks and chooses who she wants to serve. Doesn't matter if you've got cash in hand, if she decides she doesn't like you, you're not getting served. Everyone's money is the same, but apparently not here. The staff try to do their jobs, but her negative energy kills the whole vibe. A dive bar is supposed to be laid-back and welcoming--this place is the complete opposite. And the cleanliness? Forget it. The bathrooms are disgusting, the floors are sticky, and the whole place just feels dirty and run down. If this is how the bathrooms look, I don't even want to think about what the rest of it looks like behind the bar. Only reason this review even gets one star is because the regulars seemed cool enough. But unless you're part of their clique, don't expect to feel at home here. Save your cash and go somewhere that actually wants your business. read more

Honestly.. if I lived across the street I wouldn't go there! Ewww it's a "eye sore" for San Leandro n needs to taken over by the right management. People hang over there like bums on the once street n smells like piss. Don't sit down cus you might fall over on there old bar stools, this is a HOLE IN THE WALL for sure. Seems as though they only like to serve they're regulars even when it's slow, don't waste your time. read more

The atmosphere in this place was great. The drinks were strong and everybody was Vibing. They even have a food vendor, whose food was actually delicious. read more

Cunha's is a Cheers spot if you ever watched that show if not look it up .. same folks with a sprinkle of folks who drop in time to time .. bathroom is clean when I go and the place is dark but a nice hangout spot for some nice drinks .. service is good ... I go time to time read more

Dont come here !! Shooting happened here and the result was death of a patron. Dont come here. https://patch.com/california/sanleandro/1-killed-san-leandro-bar-fight?utm_source=share-mobile&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=share Amanda, the bartender/bar manager is nasty, rude. unkind, steals money or change that are on the bar table ( pretending they are tips) when confronted by customers, she becomes defensive, plays the "victim mentality" calls the owner, twist the story and blame the customer. Feminists towards patrons. Most of the customer I talked to said: "this bartender is nasty and a B-I--t-c-h - to customers.She will pretend to be nice to when tipping time. She plays really loud music that it's really hard to even hear one's self talk. Maybe it's time for a new bar manager. Because clearly, she is unfit!! Not the first time, not the last one. read more

BOB'S DA BES'! It's been proven time and time again, and at this point I'm ready to let the secret out. Cunha's is a little bar situated amongst random restaurants and shops in the Pelton Shopping Center. Though usually dim-lit, Cunha's shines! The staff are fun, helpful, and friendly and the drinks always seem to be just the right balance of y'all-didn't-skimp-me-but-I'm-not-too-drunk-to-remember-this-tomorrow. (Except that one time, with this one Cadillac Margarita I wasn't ready for... But that's how I met my future husband, so it all worked out.) In the COVID-19 crisis, Cunha's has had to do a little adjusting, so you do have to order food to sit down and have a drink outside these days. (There's $1 vending machine snacks or fried chicken plates available.) They still have a TV for you and the tribe to watch the game, so boogie on down. read more

I always have a good time here. The vibe is 100% Bay Area...from the relaxed atmosphere, local music playing in the background, the community vibes, and welcoming staff- bartenders to security. Drinks and vibes flow without disappointment. See ya soon! read more

I love coming to little bars! I was very impressed for a Saturday afternoon around 4pm. Nice turnout. It was a bit dark inside but that's the vibes here. I did get a couple stares, but everyone eventually stopped. Betty is amazing. She did a layered liquid cocaine shot. First time i've ever had it and it really put me on my ass. It didn't help that I hadn't eaten, but that was something else! I love that they have pinball machines and other games you can play. The layout of the bar is great for all types of guests! They have tables, bar tops, and open areas all around. Drinks are super cheap as well, so that's a big win! Happy drinking and happy yelping. read more

We discovered Cunha's while ... believe it or not "bar hopping" in San Leandro. We were just getting tired of First Fridays in Oakland and preferred to have something closer to home. Flash forward to the present, I essentially come to Cunhas once a week if not more religiously. It's literally my favorite dive bar, even bar in San Leandro. So if I'm drinking you'll most likely find me here. It's went through a lot of renovations lately and it's better than you might imagine. When your mother said don't judge a book by its cover, she was right. This place gets lit and they have different theme days of the week. Tuesdays are poker nights. Wednesdays are karaoke nights until 10pm. They have beer pong nights too and show the Warriors game. It's cleaned up really well inside, I mean it's a completely different bar from what it used to be, but it's not boujee. It's the perfect San Leandro addition and got some sweet happy hour deals 2x a day. Even better, without the happy hour deals, your drinks are still heavy handed AND easy on the wallet. They have everything from top shelf to your college frat days and even coffee. Better yet, the Chinese food place delivers your order right into Cunhas! Weekends, weeknights depends on the day and the hour you might come into an empty bar, or the busiest of the bars. Super chill location to hang out, meet people, get drunk and super easy to order your Lyft or Uber home. Highly recommend you to stop by and plus the owners show up every now and then, and they're super friendly. Love getting feedback from guests and always looking to make the place better. Bathrooms are separated and still one stall each, but hey, we're there to drink not use the bathrooms. OH, and if you're lucky on a Friday the BEST taco man is always outside if you have $2 to spare. read more

Love this place taco Tuesday off the hook owner beautiful must come!!!! DJ cool nice mixed crowd!!!!

One of the very few awesome n friendly bars I have ever been to. If you ever come here make sure that Rick the bartender is working:) usually here like mondays or Sundays he makes the best drinks and for a great price too! the atmosphere is a little "dive" but its more like a place where people take their worries and lift up their spirits instead. Sometimes they even have free food:) definitely one of my fave places to enjoy a few drinks with great people and great staff!! the bathroom takes away one star though they only have one stall and its hard to get to the bathroom sometimes when it gets a little busy read more

Cunha's Cocktails - Snakebite by Rick - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

Drinks are bad. Ordered my favorite tequila and received some sort of cheap liquor. Drink beer.

This place is awesome! I have been looking for a place to go hang out, grab a drink, but not overly stuffy...aka a cool dive bar. I have been wanting to check it out previously but hadn't gotten around to it. I decided to meet a date here and had a great time. The bartenders were friendly, the prices were great, and the patrons were super cool. I say super cool because I'm a queer, masculine of center (MOC) person of color (POC) who was obviously on a date. No grief was had and a couple of the guys even struck up conversations with me. I'm definitely gonna hit this place up over the football season! I'm crossing my fingers that I receive similar treatment in future visits. read more

I love this place!!! Really has a "hole in the wall" feel, no generic brand. The best part about this place is the staff especially Wendy. This woman knows how to make some amazing drinks, especially her Bloody Mary. It's so good that I compare all other Bloody Marys I have to hers and none of them can compete. !!! Ask for the Wendy's Mango go-go!! Best drink EVER. read more

New owners! It went from good to great! Nice staff, drink specials, great regulars. Now they have a schedule of events for each month. Very decently priced. New lounge area. Go for the comfort of a dive bar and the luxury of people who care about their customers. read more

I came here a couple times and its always drama! Bums come off the street and nobody acts like they are not there.... NO SECURITY at all!! Bring your own toilet paper and sanitizer, you will need it. When you get a "new drink" they will use your same glass. I wouldn't bring my dog here for a glass of water.... If you like dirty glasses, a lot of DRAMA, noise, Fighting and alcoholics this is the place for you! Super DIVEY!! read more

Chill place always great music Bartenders each one of them is amazing Bob, Amanda, victoria, Wendy, Jasmine read more

So a friend of mines wanted to hang out and he suggested this place. I was a bit leery at first bc he's into some stuff that I'm not into. Like snail watching...yeah...snail watching. Since we hadn't hung out in a while, I was game. We arrive at the lounge and surprisingly enough, I was impressed. Casual dress, nice women to look at and the music was right up my alley. Three hours later, I was asking him if he was looking at coming back any time soon. He laughed. Great place to hang out, people watch and listen to some good music. 5 out of 5 music notes... I'll Holla... read more

I have been coming to Cunhas regularly for about seven years now and I will say that it is one of my favorite places to grab a drink in of the East Bay. From the family atmosphere to the skilled bartenders (Amanda, Bobby, and Victoria ), and excellent drinks, it is a great place to drop by for either a quick one, or an entire afternoon/evening of fun. Some other favorite perks of the bar are are the awesome music (with a great sound system), the two dart boards, and the pool table located in the back in the perfect spot. Not to mention the brand new 7 flat screens always playing all the games of the day. Outside food is also allowed in, making their food trucks and the farmers market on Wednesday's a great place to grab some dinner and drinks. read more

Way too douchie and uncomfortable to be called a dive bar, but the drinks are fairly cheap. This bar serves its purpose.

The first time my friend brought me here it was crowded but fun. As someone who grew up in San Leandro I thought it would be fun to go back to. Wrong. My friend and I walked in and the place wasn't crowded, but all the seats at the bar were taken. I was looking at the specials when the bartender shouted across the bar asking "if I was looking for the bathroom or something". I said no thank you I'm just trying to figure out what to order. She rudely said she couldn't hear me and I would have to go over to talk to her, along with many hand gestures. At that point my friend and I walked out and went to the cooler down the street for a beer and polite and helpful bar tender. I can find the bathroom myself thank you very much. I didn't say anything to the bar tender to begin with as I was not ready to order, so the attitude was made me feel unwelcome. read more

GROSS! Yeah unless you are DESPERATE for a drink, don't go here. I mean I get the whole dive bar thing, but you can totally be a dive bar and still maintain an area without flies and drinks spilled everywhere. And plastic cups....really? Ordered a simple screwdriver. Got some kinda orange soda? or orange liqueur? tasting thing. I'm not really sure if they have some kinda specific screwdriver on their menu that's different, but a screwdriver is just vodka and OJ. Maybe their OJ wasn't fresh or something, but it tasted like orange syrup with vodka. + points cuz the bartender was cordial, but don't go here if you want any legit drinking experience. read more

This bar has a great atmosphere and an all around good time! We stumbled upon this place accidentally and I'm glad we did. Adam, the owner, made us feel welcome right when we walked up to the bar. All the bartenders are attentive and I was never without a drink. I judge bars by their bathroom situation and this passed my test. They were stocked with TP, soap, AND paper towels ... that's unheard of at bars! It's my new favorite dive bar in the area! Looking forward to going back when I decide to make the venture out of my house again. read more

When in the need of a fun time out I always go to Cunha's. I've been going to this bar for over a year and have seen the transformation. The new Manager Amanda is doing a wonderful job. All of the bartenders are friendly and attentive... they will also make any type of drink to your specifications. The crowd is mixed in age, and I really like it, a perfect balance for everyone. Everything is really clean, including the bathrooms... which lets be honest, isn't always the case at a small bar. You can bring in food too which is nice. A couple of times we walked over to the Tacqueria and ordered some things, brought them back... ate and continued our night. The music is good... I like that there is a jukebox so the crowd can pick and choose the music they want to hear. There is pool tables, larger tables for groups and darts. I've hosted a couple of parties here, and plan to do more in the future. If your'e looking for an easy night out, with no cover, good music, and great people come to Cunha's! read more

I love this place, good music, super nice bartenders who are very patient, feels like home and love they have variety of things pool table TV for Sports and a jukebox to play your very own favorite along with plenty of tables n private booths to sit at ! read more

I enjoy coming to visit this bar!I love WENDYS Bloody Mary or Michelada, it's the best I've ever had! She's super creative with drinks and has an awesome personality. See ya soon! Xoxo read more

This would be my first review but this place was well worth it . Bobby and Wendy were absolutely amazing, from service to simple social talk , they not only were great with me but everyone in the bar loved them . Wendy definitely makes an amazing drink. Good humor and good drinks , this place is very well rounded ! Will be back for sure ! If you need an escape after work, this is your place to go , be sure to ask for these two . Wendy , Bobby thank you for a great experience, guys were awesome ! read more

Back again after a long absence frank jr and family make it a great experience for you. I make it A point to stop in every time I'm in the neighborhood ! Portuguese owned locally owned ! Always supporting local! read more

this drinkery is in the pelton commercial complex, across from the new englander. this drinkery has no pool table, an internet jukebox, the crowd is mixed ethnically. the patrons are friendly provided your musical taste on the jukebox doesn't clash with theirs. the jukebox here has a feature whereby a consumer can have their songs played ahead of the list if they pay a premium. pretty irritating to the one with a queue of rap tunes lined up. some patrons here are very friendly. good place to chat. this place is kind of small. entree: gin & tonic(3.50)-pretty strong guiness(3.75) no draft beers read more

This place is o.k, I prefer the parker house any day of the week, but i decided to venture out and try check out other 'Dro dive bars. I ordered my usual, double shot of greygoose, chilled with a tomato back. It's my version of a deconstructed bloody mary. The bartender precisely measured the double shot, which I did not like. I figure if I'm paying 18.00-20.00 for a drink you should be a little generous with the alcohol. It means a better tip as well. On top of the small portion, the tomato juice I got was rotten! Eww! I asked for a coke back instead and the coke was super flat and super sweet. I won't be coming back here. read more

The number for the restaurant is not correct, I've called it multiple times with either a busy signal or a "this number is no longer in service" very disappointing. Just trying to reach the restaurant to inquire about a stolen credit card that was used at this facility read more

Not sure even what to say- they don't even deserve the one star by default, we had arrived just before 11pm to have all the doors locked and a group of ppl inside -yet the bartender yelled at the door that they were closed. All the ppl inside just laughed and no one ever came to the door. There was nothing posted that it was closed to The public due to a private party. Seemed sketchy, we will definitely Never return. Instead found a spot on Washington that was awesome and. Welcoming. The staff & regulars even came over and introduced themselves! They had music and a pool table, but more importantly good vibes! The Washington club will be out new spot, now that we are local to SL!! read more

I love Cunha's. I wish that was all I could write and then 100's would flock there just to experience it for themselves, however I think it would be more pertinent to review on. It's a dive, in all senses, it is tucked away in a shopping center, hasn't been updated in a century-ish, bathrooms reek of petty crime. Sold yet? Cheap drinks, dim lights, bar buffets and karaoke on Thursdays. If you need more from a bar, try taverns, lounges, ultra lounges, bistros or otherwise. read more

How I came about visiting Cunha's Cocktails is quite odd and requires a long story of filled with family drama but I will spare the details. Actually I had been meaning to hit up Cunha's on one of my trips to the Bay because my best friend DJ's here on Saturday nights, so as the cards fell into place I ended up spending a Saturday night here. It should also be added that my review is more for the vibe of the place, not the service or cost of drinks. Having less than 10 bucks in my pocket and needing enough money for BART to the Oakland Airport in the morning, I really couldn't partake in the goods (although my friend did buy me a double shot of Jamison's on the rocks...nice to calm the nerves). Cunha's definitely has that local crowd feeling, dare I say it, it's a place where everyone knows your name. It kind of reminded me of O'Connel's back in Long Beach, a vibe where there's a mix of various personalities and characters...all with a bay area twist of people in San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's paraphernalia. I also find that it's not too often you see live DJ'd music being played at what many would consider a "dive bar" (although it's more of a mix of a dive and a sports bar). To actually see people spinning vinyl in a venue other than a "dance club", this makes me happy (believe me, I would be saying this regardless of my friend's involvement here...I have a deep love and appreciation for vinyl). And it seems the patrons love the live DJ'd music too. I plan on coming back here when I have a some cash to spend and watch my boy spin vinyl. Most definitely. read more

Came on a Friday night around 10pm.... all I can say is LOL. At least the jukebox has good music in it. Drinks are pretty good, 1 of the bartenders was nice, 1 of them was rude... told her there was too much alcohol in my friends drink and she asked me if I wanted a pink lemonade and I wasn't talking to her...rude! Bye, girl. Adios was good, patron margarita was straight patron. read more
