Rebel Kitchen & Libations is always a good time. Great drink deals, solid food, and a staff that's genuinely friendly and fun. The music and dancing keep the energy high every night, and it's one of the best spots in Livermore if you're looking to let loose and have a great time with friends. read more

We popped in here to do a little nightcap dancing after dinner. We saw a crowd and decided why not, since it was only 1230a. Walking in, we immediately noticed it was a college aged crowd. No biggie, we're young looking and not too far from that age group ;), and I love to dance. The DJ played some cool hits, but he was all over the place! There was no smooth introduction into the next songs. It was an abrupt switch to either a completely different genre, or from a fast to faster, or slower backyard bbq tempo, then to disco hits (WTF). A lot of us was standing there confused on how to dance for a moment, and even more confused as to where the disco songs were coming from?! Needless to say many times, people were just standing around talking and waiting for a decent, age related song to come on. The DJ had no clue on how to read the room. He had his playlist, and he was determined to play it no matter what. read more

Ummm where do I start? I was looking for some brunch places and happened across rebel kitchen. The pictures looked great and the reviews were decent so I booked brunch at noon on a Sunday. Me and my friends walked in and there were about 6 people at the bar. They immediately all started clapping and cheering which was cute at first but then it was super awkward because after they stopped clapping, they all turned around and continued drinking. No one greeted us or formally welcomed us inside. Inside, oh the inside. I don't know how this place says it's a kitchen, it's a bar. Inside looks really grungy and gives the feel of a dive bar. The floor was sticky which was really gross because it was empty except for the 6 people drinking at the bar. So we walk in and still no one says anything to us so I say we're here for brunch and have reservations at 12, where's the restaurant? Some guy points us to the back of the bar. We walked Through the hallway into a sitting room or sorts. Totally empty and only a few couches but nothing that said restaurant. It was so empty that we thought maybe it was a speakeasy and we had to find the door that would lead us to the restaurant. We're in this room for a couple of minutes and still no one comes to say anything to us, which was weird seeing as how I had specified we were there to eat. So at this point I'm so confused and embarrassed since I chose this place for my out of town visitors, I walk back to the bar and stand there until one girl acknowledges me. I say I'm confused I thought this was a restaurant and she goes "did you send your food order before?" I said no I Didn't know I had to pre order food. They proceed to offer a menu which I declined and we left. No idea what all that was. I felt like I was going insane and was bamboozled by the reviews and pictures. read more

Exactly average in every way possible. Not good, not bad, just average. From the food, to the drinks, to the service, everything is just middle of the road. In fairness I will say it can be a good place to watch a game as they're not usually opposed to tuning to game day audio. That said, the sound has to come from the TV itself, not a sound system, so it can tricky to hear when there's people talking around you. Not the staff's fault on that, but would be nice to have better audio options given they appeared to be wired for it already. read more

bad customer service and very choosy with the crowd of people they want to "allow" inside. Wouldn't even consider trying to eat their food or ever going there again... read more

Music was loud, area inside is small so you're pretty much touching everyone around you. Bathroom wait time was long. Drinks were served quick. It was a quick stop for us after coming from across the street, was a good short lived experience. read more

Rebel Kitchen And Libations - Outside - American Near Me - Livermore, California

Food was spectacular. We ordered the hawaiian fire wings and it was the best thing we ordered (we love spicy food) The rebel burger was delicious. The food definitely has a Caribbean flare in the food and the sauces. The seasonings are pretty good. Would definitely come again next time we are in Kona to try their other dishes. The restaurant did not seem to have much of an outside view (but again, as we went at night), but the artwork more than inside makes up. The decor was good with the artsy vibe We also loved the sauces and bought the Hawaiian fire sauce and Kona ketchup. It was a bit disappointing that the ketchup we bought didn't taste the same as what we tried in the restaurant (not sure if it's just the batch of ketchup we got) read more

Today was by bday. Told my daughter Rebels wings would hit the spot. She ordered the honey siracha and the bbq wings. Dang they never disappoint! 5/5 They were amazing! Strongly recommend their wings! read more

I highly recommend this place only if you enjoy getting ripped off. Two cocktails somehow turned into a nearly $400 bill, which was obviously a bartender mistake. But nobody cared enough to fix it, and no refund was ever offered. They also don't give any receipts at the bar, which says a lot. Very disappointing and definitely not worth visiting. read more

My inaugural visit to Rebel Kitchen & Libations was an exemplary experience which indubitably warrants a return visit! Sunday Brunch selection and fare were exceptional! My dining companion opted for a mimosa whereas I decided upon the mango margarita.....both were excellently concocted. We each had an omelette whereupon we sought accommodations which were effortlessly granted. While the culinary fare in and of itself was exceptional (thanks to Chef Phil), the customer service orientation as dispensed by Kellyann was the other half of our superlative dining experience! Looking forward to returning to sample the other menu items!! Patronize this establishment....you will NOT be disappointed on any level given the management of Gianni! read more

Hosted a baby shower at Rebel this last weekend and I couldn't be happier! Food was really good and tons of it! Staff was really sweet and helpful and attentive! Coordinator, Gianni, was a joy to work with! We had the whole venue to ourselves! Bathrooms were clean! Super easy to plan, venue did most of the work and the let me in a bit early to set up. Also, really affordable! I will definitely be hosting more events here. read more

We had so much fun. We went there for my best friend's Bachelorette party and we had a blast. Shawn the barback was so much help and so much fun! He has the best hospitality! That's very rare these days! Cherish his personality as well as his hospitality! We appreciate all of your staff, truly amazing. We honestly had the best time! read more

I LOVE coming here. Fun karaoke times, great food, and good vibes. Drinks are awesome! I have to give my biggest shout out to Kwan. That girl is a MACHINE!!! You see her running around cleaning, sweeping, bartender, waiter, you name it? shes doing it. And such a sweetheart to talk to, I enjoy our Sunday chill days. For a starter bartender? I can say I have not had a bad drink yet, and I like to throw her some random ones, and she makes it happen. Good job Kwan! Keep going rebels little songbird! (Thats a hint to hear her sing on thursdays!) youve got yourself a gem rebel kitchen! read more

This place is fantastic! We started our bachelorette party there this past weekend, having dinner there and then moved to the parlor room for games and drinks. Staff was amazing and made our group feel so special and the fun drinks/dinner were awesome! From reservations to the days events, they were the best! Thanks Rebel Kitchen for a great time! read more

Horrible, horrible service. Not worth the hype, customer service was rude and not helpful. Was not welcoming atmosphere read more

I love this spot!!!! This is my 2nd time coming and I always seem to meet the nicest people who just are out and want to have a fun time. The bartenders are amazing and very social. You can tell they genuinely love being there! Security was super cool also. From someone who works the same industry, you can tell everyone loves and enjoys their job. I would definitely come back when I come to the area again. read more

Rented the back private space for my daughter wedding reception "after party" and it was amazing! The ease of security getting our group in, the bar staff who made sure we were ok and the absolute easiest experience to book the space was great! We had a lot of guests from out of town that wanted a fun yet intimate atmosphere and this was the best spot to book! I have visited on a normal night here as well and have always had a great time. read more

Me and my partner love this spot! Drinks are always good and Bartenders are the best!!

Amazing food. Loved the drag brunch. Drinks were delicious and the vibe is so welcoming! Hoping to have my husband's 50th here.

I only come to visit Ari she's the pretty girl with red hair, she makes the best drinks and Sunday brunch's are always so fun when she's working. Her energy is everything and she's hilarious. Her sense of humor is awesome. All my friends I've brought have continued to come back just for her. Truly amazing service!! I'll be back this Sunday. read more

Welcoming environment and always a great time! They put on events throughout the week, which always allows for something to do. Patio seating is good too. read more

Ari was amazing!! She made my daughter's 21st birthday such a great and positive experience. Ari has good energy and the food was DELISH!! 10/10 would try this place read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday on a Sunday afternoon with some good friends. It was a beautiful September morning so we sat outside. Even though it wasn't that busy, it was nice to be outside and people watch. This place is a straight up bar, but the seating outside gives it a dining vibe. We all ordered bottomless mimosas and a plate each, boy, their plates are huge! My omelette was good and hearty. Let's face it, it's not gourmet dining, but it's a good time and the food will fill up your bellies. The mimosas were delicious -- I love when they use fruit purée and our server kept them coming. We had such a great time that we stayed until the DJ started playing music. More people came and we started dancing. I did not expect this on a Sunday afternoon. In Livermore. All that matters is we had an memorable time. I hope to come back to have a great time again. read more

On Saturday night I came here with some of my friends/coworkers later at night. We really liked this spot! They had lots of seating outside and fire pits, lots inside too. They had great music playing the whole time we were there too! The back room even has a pool table that we played on too but it's $2 per round. The drinks were pretty good too especially the Tequila Sunrise! The bartenders were nice and made drinks fast, the bouncers were also pretty nice! We liked that this was a younger crowd of people cause we went to a few spots in Pleasanton before this and it was more older people then us. So it was nice to see mostly people in their 20s maybe 30s here at the oldest. Would definitely come back if I'm going out in the livermore area! read more

Let me start by saying the vibe is amazing. But the best part was the bartender Kristyn she was the sweetest. She was able to suggest some amazing cocktails to try since I'm a picky drinker. She is definitely a reason I will ne coming back. read more

Arianna (the really sexy ginger bartender with the big booty) makes the best cocktails. 10/10 vibe, always a guaranteed fun night (or brunch) definitely check them out! read more

Rebel is always the place to go! For brunch, they have bottomless mimosas on Sundays which are always fun! Kristyn is the best, she is amazing. She is on top of everything and is so friendly. Love when she is working! Thanks so much Kristyn read more

Drinks were amazing! Quick service and very friendly staff. Also pretty clean. Kristyn was the best bartender by far!

We had a birthday party in the Parlor room and everything was perfect! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing and drinks were to everyone's liking. The music came on at 9:30 and we stayed almost all night. Highly recommend for a group gathering. Will do it again. read more

Doesn't make sense to go here unless you're a college kid who wants to "feel" like an adult. The bartenders don't know shit about alcohol. and can't mix drinks to safe a puppy. Just get a drink out of the bottle and maybe on ice. Food ok for a bar. But just one step up from fast food. Potential for this place if they paid attention. read more

Racist. Bouncer didn't even address me and asked my friend if I spoke English or not. I can't even believe this happened to me In livermore . Bouncer wouldn't even look me in the eyes when speaking to me read more

We recently had our 30 year high school reunion this past Saturday and RKL did an AMAZING job with our private party!! We had hand passed starters and the drinks were on pointe! The DJ rocked 90s music for us and service was exceptional. The outdoor front patio was also a perfect cozy hangout to catch up with old friends. Highly Recommend for Private Events! read more

I just celebrated my birthday here and reserved their vip bottle service section and a time was had!!! Ari is the sweetest and funniest bartender ever and everyone else who helped and checked on us through the night was amazing!!! They recently just made that section bigger as well which made a huge difference!! It was 8 of us girls and it was spacious for us to dance and sit if needed!! It's always a fun night when going here!! Thank you to the rebel staff who made my birthday special!! read more

I alwaysss make sure to stop by when I'm in town to see Ari! Music is great, drinks are yummy, and the best vibes from my favorite bartender

If I could leave zero stars I would! My boyfriend and I were kicked out 5 min after walking in and after we had already bought a drink each (which was over $35). The security came up to us and told us that his manager told him we had to leave because they don't allow people with face tattoos inside the establishment! It was baffling because it's 2024 and tattoos are still an issue? BUT the establishment had a bartender who was VERY pregnant serving alcohol with a crop top on exposing her 8 month old belly. Worst part is the security was clearly not aware of this "rule" until his management told him to get us out. The security asked us to "hurry up and finish our drinks and to leave". He even had the nerve to tell us to "not make him come back to ask us to leave". Worst experience ever! The discrimination was clear as day... maybe because we were one of the very few people of color in the establishment? If the tattoos were the issue then why didn't they have a sign posted saying it? Why wait until after we paid their expensive drinks to kick us out or better yet notify us before allowing us in? If you want to feel discriminated against then go to this place and you'll get the experience! read more

My husband and I along with another couple decided to spend New Year's in Livermore as we were trying to avoid large crowds. We found our way going to rebel because this was a place that my husband and I visited many times before and always had a wonderful experience. However, last night we decided to buy bottle service to support the girls at the bar because they were doing such a wonderful job! Moments later you find us being escorted out of the bar like we were some actual rebels. It was because my husband went into the restroom and his brother went right after him to ensure that no one was going to go in because the door wasn't locking. I don't know what the security guard that was wearing a red ball cap & a shirt with a B on it was thinking, but he took it out of proportion and decided to throw my husband and his brother out along with myself and my brothers girlfriend. And the thing that triggered me to write this review was because of how me and my brother's girlfriend were shoved out. It's really unfortunate, because we actually were going there to look for no trouble and ended up being the ones thrown out for a weird reason. We actually really love your steak and fries! So sad! You definitely need to reconsider your security staff. We really like the main consistent security guard that's always there and never gives us trouble! read more

Had our 30 year High School reunion at this spot a couple days ago. Great place and value for a Private Party! Excellent food, drinks and staff. 100% recommendation for a party of up to 100 people or maybe more. read more

We came here for their monthly Blues Night for the first time last Friday, and it was so much fun!! Its a live band from the bay area who are such a blast to watch. Its so nice having a blues music venue in our area because they are hard to find. The drinks were amazing and all the food was great. We ordered the Wagyu Sliders and Winter Arugula Salad which were both delicious. Will definitely be back in February to see the blues band again! read more
