It's nice and warm out in the late afternoon, but can get cold and windy once the sun goes down. They have two restaurants and a concession stand for food and drinks. For performance nights they open up a few bars. There are some spectacular views from different part of the property. I love that there are different areas to lounge and enjoy your food and drinks. The service is friendly and informative. If you're there for a performance you should arrive early for the best parking spots. Also be aware there are several steep inclines and declines on the property. If you have any issues with walking it might be a challenge as some areas are uneven. But they do offer golf cart rides to and from the parking lot to the main plaza as well as to the amphitheater. You just need to ask an employee nearby. There are no bad seats in the amphitheater from what I could tell. The sound is amazing, but can get loud for those sensitive to loud music. I would love to go back and see more performances at that venue and maybe try one of their restaurants.

Being there allowed us to enjoy those things. We took advice and got there early. Brought snacks, water bottle, hat, sunglasses, layers, chair and a positive attitude. If you happen to be sensitive to sound, you should sit to the sides of the stage away from the speakers. If you station yourself in front of the stage and speakers, it's LOUD! There are two food trucks, a beer truck and a fried food truck. Bathroom situation was not that bad. There is an actual bathroom close to the piers, but it has only two stalls, creating a slow turnaround. Then there are the port-a-potties near the concert of about 5-6, they move a lot faster. Music was kind of funky, I was looking for more cover songs. We went with the flow and soaked in the vibes. It does get windy, so bring a hat that won't blow off. Have fun shak'in a leg at Rock the Dock.

This review is based on the weekend BBQ take-out only…read more Stopped in for lunch on our way back to Sunnyvale from Monterey. Drove by the day before and was enticed by the smell of the smoker, but they were just starting to smoke the meat and we didn't have time to wait around, so we stopped on the way back. You order through a QR code and pay, then pick up your BBQ plate at the smoker. They have a nice picnic table area to eat outside. We ordered the 3 meat plate for $30. Plenty for two to share. Came with 2 ribs, 4 pieces of ball tip (similar to tri-tip), quarter chicken (leg and thigh), coleslaw, potato salad, pickles and a Hawaiian sweet roll. Tons of food and all really good. The ball-tip was very tender. The ribs were super meaty and flavorful. Their BBQ sauce was yummy too! Loved the coleslaw...with poppy and sunflower seeds. The potato salad was a bit too vinegary for me, but my husband liked it. Overall a great experience. We left full and happy. Would definitely recommend.

First group to walk through the doors at 11 am on a Saturday. Tired and happy from the beautiful hike we had planned to spend the entire day here. Greeted by a friendly blonde female bartender who had no problem trying my crazy ideas.... I guess 2 parts fireball whiskey and 1 part pineapple juice isn't common? Unfortunately, for me since I was entirely interested in the food option, the cook does a lot of local community work and wasn't going to be in until Monday. Anyways, place has a bunch of games from casual board games to dominos even all the way to the game I could not convince my group to play. TWISTER! Continuing to asks the lady questions I learned they do karoake nights frequently, have live music and dance nights occasionally and those dance nights are sometimes themed. The place has an amazing outside patio that transcends into a small concert area with a stage and lights. Overall it is a cool lil spot. I can't give a fully thought out score because too much was missing from what I think I can experience. I want to go back but distance will make it difficult.

I got to meet Kyle, who works sounds at many of the events. He told me about an upcoming show he puts together where he gives away free studio time to up and coming artists. So of course, I had to check out the showcase he organized for his birthday. It was AMAZING. Never have I seen so many black people congregating in Cupertino, or such a professional crowd of musicians mixing and mingling in their creative community. Jeremiah from Rebelskamp was there, and there was a feature show in between open mics where Kyle performed with an impressive new group. It's a crew of rappers and a singer that feels like a 90's rnb and rap group made for a current, grown up audience. Very danceable music. But the whole event really just put Cupertino on the map. It's a space for artists to come to a stage and get love from others in the industry. And they even allow for stand up comedy (you get a WHOLE 7 minutes...that's an eternity in stand up time). Very grateful I decided to get off my couch on a Sunday to see what was going on. I'll definitely check out more events in the future (they are supposed to take place every 2 weeks)!

After bowling on Saturday evening, we hung out in the X Bar to check out the live music and enjoy a…read morecouple drinks. Bar service was slow but friendly. The cocktails here were weak but delicious. The live music event had a listed start time of 7:00pm, but actually started at 8:15pm. Lighting and sound for the show appeared to be in need of improvement, the equipment in the venue not fitting for the environment. Lots of messy exposed cables, what looked like a dangerous setup, the plates on the ground seemingly too small for the giant speakers hanging on the top of the metal truss arch. The sound wasn't terrible, but they were not using all the speakers and subwoofers (and this negatively affected the band's performance, as they couldn't hear themselves). Also, there was no light on the musicians on stage, some of the band members looked like silhouettes throughout the night, and the organizers/technicians didn't seem to know how to fix this. That being said, the decor and lighting on the walls and ceiling, as well as the lights on the DJ booth were quite nice. The atmosphere inside this venue overall was modern and inviting, with lounge seating, high tables, and one pool table. The Dennis Dove Band entertained what was mainly an older crowd, with a range of blues, rnb, and more. They had people on their feet, dancing to songs like I Shot the Sheriff, Tennessee Whiskey, and Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. Great sounds on the guitar, bass, drums, vocals, with guest performers from Eurotrash joining them on stage too. Everything was super casual, seemingly unprepared/unprofessional, late start time, technical difficulties during the show, etc., but we enjoy and appreciate most live music events regardless. Tip: don't order food here, unless you're desperate. It's really bad bowling alley food (see my other review for Homestead Bowl, for more on that).

Great bar, don't eat here…read more The Quarter Note Bar & Grill is a legendary Silicon Valley nightlife fixture located at 1214 Apollo Way, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, sitting right on the Sunnyvale-Santa Clara border. Tucked inside a shopping center with plenty of convenient parking, this unpretentious, vintage 120-capacity neighborhood dive bar has been proudly veteran-and-wife owned since 1996. It serves as a bustling hub for corporate crowds from nearby giants like Apple and HP, alongside a deeply loyal following of South Bay musicians. What Makes It Worth a Visit * The Cool Stage Setup: Unlike typical dive bars where you sing in a corner, the Quarter Note features a large, dedicated performance stage rigged with professional lighting, five active microphones, and a smoke machine controlled by the Karaoke Jockey (KJ). * The Non-Stop Entertainment Schedule: They keep the energy high seven nights a week from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Catch their incredibly popular, high-energy karaoke nights from Monday through Wednesday, open-mic jam sessions on Thursdays and Sundays, and full live bands on Friday and Saturday nights. * Classic Bar Amenities: When you aren't at the microphone, the lounge offers a well-maintained pool table, pinball, lotto games, and 12 different ice-cold beers on tap. Thanks

Yo! This place is pretty fun!…read more Been here a couple of times with my buddies after work for some shenanigans. Now, I'm not like, craaaaaaaAaAaAaazy about Dive Bards, but every once in awhile one will sing to me and can just strike a chord on my heart strings. Oh? Bar? Not Bard? Mah bad! Yes! I LOVE bars! But usually, yes, I prefer a more lively, younger crowd, but yeah, when you roll with the homies, basically everything becomes more funner to some degree. But this little ditty also has Karaoke, the fun kind! Not that go-hide-in-a-small-room-that-stinks with your 30 friends, but the kind where you're on a full stage in front of EVERYONE. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E!!! They also have a pretty sweet selection of IPAs. Don't know about anything else because I do not CARE about anything else!! YAY!! KTHXBAI! LUVYOU!!

What's not to like about that? Such great people watching, staff who remembers your face (but never a name---this place is pretty packed on weekends). You come here for the live music (and yes, you're gonna pay a club cover, but how else do you think DJ's or musicians get paid), and you'll stay for the azz twerkable DJ sets. I'm always fond of DJ Jason Dee or David. Yes, I'm going to dance. And if you've ever wondered if you could pull a cougar, well then wonder no more.
