Sunshine Saloon has been the host for Goodness Village's annual fundraiser for four years. "Goodness Village is an affordable tiny home program that provides the Tri-Valley's formerly housed neighbors a safe and supportive community to live independently, heal, and thrive." Sunshine Saloon provided a spaghetti dinner and a drink for the attendees. The staff were friendly and accommodating, as well as their phenomenal cooks. They were hustling with the plethora of food orders. The place was busy with their regulars and the attendees who were there to support Goodness Village. The spaghetti dinner was delicious as well as my refreshing margarita. Thanks Sunshine Saloon for being an incredible host!

I came here for a happy hour shots. I had a hard time finding it at first (bc of the gps) but there's plenty of parking. Even though I only came here to have a drink, the food smelled amazing. There were a lot of people here around 5pm. You can sit at the bar or at their large family style tables. Everyone was nice and I look forward to going back.

Me "intoxicated" f**k that racist saloon food is shitty anyways

They kicked me out upon arrival once I sat down I was told I was too drunk lol I haven't drank all day.. I believe it was racism. Food ducks, drunk people everywhere but single out a sober mixed man due to his chains haha

"What did I get the veggie burger for? You got a veggie burger, so I had to get the veggie burger..." George Costanza - Seinfeld da Scene: Back in the office now 1-2 days a week, I miss Oakland a lot but am trying to acclimate to my Pleasanton digs. In doing my hard target search for a good burger and fries, paired with a proper Guiness; I stumbled onto Sunshine. da Grub: Pretty deep menu, tacos, sammies, daily plates, etc. But my barometer for a pub/sports-style place is the burger & fries and Guiness on tap. I Know. That's too easy you say. Everyone does burger & fries and how hard is it to tap a pint? You're not wrong, but getting it right means attention to detail. Char-grilled Burger & Fries were lightly seasoned with temp as asked ( I go Med 1st time to see how they do it, will go med-rare next one). Bun was sturdy enough to keep things contained, but not too thick. Fries were hot, fresh and crisp. A properly tapped Guiness is a thing of beauty to behold while the carbonation slowly settles before enjoying. Low enough alcohol content, I can confidently head back for a meeting. They check all the boxes, if they take care of this staple, the rest of the menu should rock. da Service: No nonsense, quick & efficient. Been twice and got in/out in 35 min. Will have to stop in after work to try pork chops on Wednesdays or maybe a steak. Nice enough guys that let ya do your thing. No pics so far, feels weird at the bar, maybe if I grab a table with a friend next time.

My bf and I have been coming to Sunshine Saloon since we turned 21, so a decade now. Been at all hours of the day/night. Love the vibe and the food has always been pretty good. However, our last visit a few weeks ago went horribly. It was a weekend around 11am, not busy, nice day- so we sat outside. The waiter who served us was TERRIBLE- a short, brown haired man. We got our menus and it took him 20 minutes for him to come back and take our drink order (ice water and iced tea). Basically threw my drink on the table and it splashed on me. Didn't bring sweetener for the tea, when I asked for it he was just walking away and not listening to me. Had to ask twice for it. Took him 40 minutes for us to get our food order in... at this point we were questioning even staying. Every time I communicated with this waiter, he would walk away as I was talking. Super disrespectful!! And this is why you got $0 tip, for horrible service. Ruining the good culture of Sunshine is a shame and this dude needs to do BETTER. The waiter looks like this photo by the way, so everyone beware if you sit in his section.

St. Patrick's Day is a great day to visit as their bar food doesn't disappoint.

Very comfortable and friendly. Shuffleboard and pool tables make for a good time even if your not an alcoholic. Varied ages - you can be 21 or 40 and be totally comfortable. I've been going here now for nearly two decades. I guess I just gave away my age - and I shouldn't have as I still have some boyish good looks and get occasionally carded. At any rate, I consider myself an expert and fully qualified to write a review - been here on NYE and St Patrick's day for corned beef dinner and any odd night in-between. Once I even ended up here during a trivia night by accident. In the day time it gives off cozy restaurant vibes - on a Friday night there is a DJ and a dance floor - so there is something for everybody. The second room is all the game stuff and much nicer if you come with a group of friends. If your single and on the prowl stay on the other side. There are lots of ladies there on the market - nails done, hair done everything done done. Once I came on trivia night. And that is something I like to stay away from. My knowledge is odd and a lot of pop culture stuff I have no idea about - in fact I think its been 15 years since I really watched much TV. Anywho, I found myself here and met a guy who was blind - blind since day one on this earth. I was touched how the bartender took such good care of him. I suppose that is the main takeaway here - she really went out of her way. And I've noticed that always for all the patrons. I got to know him a little and tried to describe things to him unsuccessfully as there was nothing he could really have as a benchmark for. I told him on the sly that his little bartender friend was cute - but again - what that meant for him is probably very different from what that means to most other guys out there. I thought, maybe the bartender liked being liked for other reasons than the obvious. Another bartender I had known there for years I think moved to Hawaii?? Sad day - but I suppose the point on that fact is if you become a regular you will get to know the staff - they don't turnover as much as elsewhere which I like.

This place rocks! Super friendly atmosphere! When I saw all of the food specials during the week, I was like oh my gosh, I need to come here every day! Had a couple drinks and the pan seared shrimp and boy that dish is awesome. Can't wait to go back!

California burger (proteins style) with a side of Chipotle aioli and a side salad

Wow, how have I not reviewed Sunshine? They're continently located down the street from my office so we've been regulars here for years. They're our go-to lunch spot! They're a no frills restaurant and bar serving up great American food. I've tried a number of things on their menu over the years but here's my favorite: - The burgers are the best. Huge portions, chargrilled, and better than most restaurants in the area. If you're craving a solid burger you can't go wrong with any of their burger choices. My go-to is the California Burger which is served with cheese, bacon and avocado. The bacon and avocado portions are huge. - Their Jalapeño poppers are a good app Choice. appear to be fresh Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, seasoning and wrapped in a big piece of bacon. - You can't go wrong with any of their fried sides. They do them right. - If you're in the mood for breakfast, theirs is solid. Huge portions. Cooked right and reasonably priced. I'm a fan of the linguica and eggs and usually get them with a side of hashbrowns. If you're a beer drinker they have a large variety on tap and rotate out some seasonal options too. Overall, the staff here is friendly and the food is solid. I'd recommend giving them a shot for a casual dining experience. Note: since they're technically a bar you must be 21+

We have walked by this restaurant so many times but it has always seemed very busy…read more They were open New Year's Day and we went in for lunch. We sat at the bar it was not busy when we arrived. Bella was our bartender she was great, excellent service she was attentive and nice. We got the egg rolls and pizza. The eggs were good maybe some cheese would be a good addition but they were good. The sauces went well with them. The pizza we got was Jose's hot honey pizza without salami. Pizza was good lots of toppings with and we split it between two of us. They have a full bar tons of beer and canned drinks also. I got the French it was very tasty would deff get it again. We will deff be back to try other items. Bathrooms were very clean that was nice to see. They have outdoor seating also and parking is mostly street there is a lot next to it but not sure if it's all their parking. Glad we finally got to try this place out.

Good food, good service, especially Bella, good drinks, and good prices. The restaurant is a good size with outdoor seating and very clean. All the patrons we met so far were super nice. The live music is also great. Here is what we had: Cheeseburger egg rolls: these were so yummy! Perfect bite sizes for appetizers and ahhhmazing flavor! Heart attack tots: Tater tots loaded with cheese, crumbled bacon, shredded buffalo chicken, green onions and a ranch drizzle - these may be the death of me. They are so good and filling, totally worth every bite Fish and chips: nothing more to say except, I love them, especially how they do their "chips". Super delish! Overall, this is a great place to hang and done with friends. They also have special events on certain days of the week and live music. I will definitely be going back and suggest you try it out too.

Very happy that I found INC 82 Brewing when I came out to Dublin, California for work. I was…read morelooking for a brewery that had food available and this fine establishment came up and it definitely did not disappoint. I first want to highlight the amazing Customer Service. I interacted with autumn, and Dazha, both of whom were very kind, attentive, and provided great recommendations. They provided excellent service. I did not have to wait very long at all to get a beer, or order any food. I was also appreciative that they were able to carry a conversation with me as a patron versus just treating me as someone who was impeding on their workday. Now, onto the beer. I enjoyed the No Tanlines IPA, & the Tropidank IPA. Both were phenomenal. Great taste profile, went down easy and not too heavy on the ABV. Those beers paired nicely with the food that I enjoyed. Speaking of food their menu is just the right size with the right amount of options. I didn't find it overwhelming because honestly nothing is worse than a large menu with excessive options especially at a brewery. Lastly, the ambience of the brewery was very enjoyable. It's just the right size, and they also have a rather eclectic music playlist that I particularly enjoyed and it seems that the Staff there enjoys it along with many of the other patrons. Overall, this establishment will be a place that I revisit again probably more than once during my time in Dublin California and it will certainly be my go to place for a post round of golf meal & beer(s).

I've been to INC 82 several times while visiting my sister-in-law in Dublin and I've had some mixed…read moreexperiences. The location and setting are nice with a shaded outdoor patio with extensive seating and a cozy feeling inside with tall tables and a nice bar. Service is a little spotty though. The last time I was there, I sat at the bar and noticed more of the staff dynamic than I've seen before. The bartender never once wiped down the bar top even though it was obviously covered in sticky spilled beer and bits of food. The staff were grumpy and didn't seem to be enjoying each other or serving people. One staff person complained about patrons and said they can either wait or order off the QR code...ouch. I got so tired of the bar vibe that I paid and took my beer outside to enjoy in peace. The beer selection seemed decent but I wasn't that impressed to think that I would frequent the place on future visits. They call themselves a brewery but I honestly didn't see any signs of brewing equipment and most of their beers were from other breweries. I'll give it another try but I might have to find a new beer spot.

The people who run this place keep this place tidy and clean as evidenced by how quickly they cleared my glass and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I missed the rock n' roll memo, but amazingly talented singers including the KJ himself. The sound system can be pretty loud especially the bass, so ended up keeping my ear plugs in. My only major reservation is how the karaoke queue is managed. Couldn't help but notice the bartenders and some patrons who generously tipped got to sing multiple times in a row. One of the patrons tipped $20 and sang three songs in a row. In comparison, I got one song in in the span of three hours. I kind of expected the place to start clearing out after midnight but ppl stuck around and seemed to be having a good time. If you're not into rock n' roll/metal karaoke, they also have pool, shuffleboard, and darts. I do like the KJ and the patrons here, though in the future, I'll just set the expectation that I'll get one song in and set a curfew for myself.
