    Stopped by on a quiet Monday night with my girlfriend, and was not disappointed! The bartender who was working, Joshua (had a necklace with his name so can't get it wrong) was friendly and attentive, resulting in an overall relaxing night with good conversation. The entire establishment was extremely clean, including the restroom Can't complain about drinks, we ordered the basics, a couple beers and some whiskey on the rocks but next time we will try some of their signature drinks. We will definitely come back soon, we actually have an invitation to a birthday party here for next month, so we're glad to have seen the place before then and are looking forward to it. Stay lit!

    Joshua-great bartender

    I come for the free popcorn lol but no seriously it's a cool spot for some drinks and good (loud) music. Can get pretty busy sometimes, it's a hit or miss.

    Watermelon lemon drop by Adrianna! very good service! As soon as I came in Adrianna was very quick to help me & recommend this drink! Very delicious

    I went to Lit Lounge for the first time last night and I definitely will be returning and bringing friends! Nicely decorated and clean. I arrived there by myself and the bartender, Joshua, was very friendly and accommodating playing music that other customers requested. The music is not so loud so you can have a normal conversation.

    Great photo op area to take selfies with your crew

    I loooove to check out new bars in town. I stopped by 7/8 to check out the new renovation and name change of this bar. I used to come here years ago when it was the Victorian Pub. Sooo glad someone finally renovated this place. It looks super modern and hip now. Love all the decor and big TV's. The bar looks BEAUTIFUL. And is definitely great for groups and young people that love to take selfies in front of cute backgrounds. Only downside I noticed was that the bar was dead. And there was a lack of genuine hospitality. I walked in the door and wasn't greeted warmly, in a timely manner, nor did I feel welcome. There was NO vibe at all. Anyways, I introduced myself to Owner Josh but it seemed he was too busy chatting up some girl at the bar which is fine. But I had came in this bar in hopes to help his business. Perhaps offer to help with some event planning and social media marketing here and bring in more business or bring a DJ, karaoke, food vendors, game night, singles night etc. For someone that works in hospitality/customer service as well as loves to help promote new businesses. This one is just lacking in the hospitality department for me. As a bartender I always say "Anybody can make a drink, just gotta know how to serve it. Have people leaving better than they came". I'll try this bar 1 more time in a few months, in hopes that they up the hospitality.

    From service to bad drinks man very disappointed the guy with tattoos was just wort customer service don't go there .

Wow was I surprised as the high quality of the food. We shared devil eggs, the sticky dry fried ribs and a salad. Oh my was it an epicurean delight. The food was served timely and tasty. The servers were kind and knowledgeable recommending the menus specialities and I was not disappointed. The drinks were above board and mixed to perfection. This is another San Leandro hidden jewel. The atmosphere was so inviting. Warm and calm, whether you were seated inside or out, you felt comfortable. There was nothing on the menus I would not recommend and the portions are not skimpy. I recommend you order different items so you can share and sample many of the items on the menu. Given the economic climate, the prices are reasonable. I enjoyed my dining experience so much, my husband and I went there 3 days later and was not disappointed and he is somewhat selective. Those I have recommended this restaurant to, have enjoyed their experience also. I highly recommend you try it out and put it on your list of regular favorites. Bon appetite!

Only complaint is that bar orders come out slow even when they have multiple bartenders. We've probably tried everything on their menu. Our favorites: Chicken wings - 10 wings for only $16 Mac & cheese is always a good shareable Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich is very flavorful Poutine with brisket - mix it up so you get the sauce on the bottom Brisket nachos - flavorful and a good portion for sharing

I just went here over the weekend and now can say the place is great! The cocktail menu is pretty diverse (I had a sour which I enjoyed) and I like the wide assortment of beers (they also offer pitchers, which you don't find often outside of sports bars, which this isn't). It has plenty of space inside and some outdoor seating. What really made it fun for me was that even though it was quite busy inside, you could still sit at the bar and have a normal tone of conversation, even with the music and other conversations in the bar going on. Not sure how they pulled that off, but it was really cool. The parking is tight; a lot of it is either 15 minute or 2 hours; and some is designated for the restaurant/liquor store nearby. However, if you're patient enough, you should be able to find free street parking. There's an extremely limited food menu but they do offer BYOF (bring your own food), even though there's not much around to pick up on your way in (obviously DoorDash will offer more opportunities). It's a pretty classy place, so I think would be great for a night out with friends or even a date. I'll certainly be back to try the other libations.

The energy was incredible, and you could really feel how excited everyone was to be there cheering on the team. One thing I really liked was that instead of having one giant screen, they had multiple TVs throughout the bar, making it easy to catch the game no matter where you were sitting. There was also a DJ keeping the crowd energized, playing music and hyping everyone up during the match, which added so much to the atmosphere. The bar itself was really nice, and I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how great the overall vibe was. They have a taqueria inside and even though I didn't eat on this visit, the food I saw coming out to nearby tables looked delicious, and several dishes definitely caught my eye. I'll definitely be back to try the food for myself and will update my review afterward. A heads-up that the parking lot is a little small, but there is plenty of street parking nearby, so it wasn't a problem. The space itself isn't huge, but that's part of what made the atmosphere feel lively, energetic, and welcoming. If you're looking for a great place to watch a big game, enjoy a fun crowd, and soak up an exciting sports-bar atmosphere, Frank's Sports Bar & Grill is definitely worth checking out!

I like that they have a fire pit for colder nights and projector screens for game days! I'm not a beer drinker, but their non-beer and NA options have grown tremendously! The staff is kind and KNOW THEIR BEER- they are patient with those wanting to sample different beers. For food: Hummus and pita- arguably the best thing on the menu! Chunky hummus paired with fresh, warm pita bread. Wings- on the smaller side. I did not like the Calabrian hot honey at all- too tomatoey? Almost tasted like marinara sauce, not spicy at all! Buffalo wings are better. Caesar salad- I love how they add a jammy egg on top! Pizza- all really good! On small thing- their ranch isn't great. It's a bit more yellow colored than typically buttermilk ranch, so it may be flavored? I wish it were more of a classic ranch to pair with pizza and wings. Overall, solid neighborhood brewery and hangout spot.

    Disappointing experience -- especially considering we tipped before receiving any service…read more I visited Fieldwork Brewing in San Leandro with a group of five. I ordered the Dad Joke pizza and a Martinelli's apple juice, and I will absolutely give credit where it's due--the pizza and apple juice were fantastic. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. My friend ordered the garlic parmesan chicken wings, and they were extremely greasy and had virtually no flavor. My bigger issue was the service--or lack of it. You scan the QR code at the table, place your own order, pay in advance and add your tip before you've received any service. I have no problem with ordering electronically, but after paying and tipping, no one checked on our table even once. We needed water, silverware, napkins, ranch, etc., and every time we needed something, we had to find or flag down an employee ourselves. There were five of us at the table and we all paid separately. One person never received the fries she had PAID for. When we finally got someone's attention, the response was basically, "You already got your fries. We only have one order of fries." She had to pull up her receipt and show that she had purchased her own order. The employee looked at the receipt, said nothing, walked away, and eventually brought the fries. No apology. Nothing. At one point I personally walked up to ask for ranch because, again, no one was checking on the table. I was greeted with a rude, "What do you need?" Excuse me? I've already ordered my own food, paid for it, tipped in advance, and now I have to repeatedly get up from my table to get basic things myself--and I'm being treated as though asking for ranch is an inconvenience? But what really bothered me happened the next day. My actual receipt shows that my order was $29.50, plus $3.22 tax and a $5.90 tip, for a TOTAL OF $38.62. Yet the charge showing on my account from Fieldwork Brewing is $46.34. That is $7.72 MORE than the receipt I was given. I have screenshots of both. I understand that restaurants are moving toward QR-code ordering, but if customers are expected to order for themselves, pay in advance, tip in advance, and then get up every time they need water, napkins, utensils, condiments, or help with a missing order, what exactly are we tipping for? Good pizza, but the customer service was disappointing, dismissive, and nowhere near what I would expect after being asked to tip before receiving service. And the discrepancy between my receipt and the amount charged to my account needs an explanation.
