How do we celebrate back to school? PTO and mimosas!!!
Cat L.

Still love this place, it's so great to have a cool neighborhood pub. The ambiance is bad ass, the service is always on point. There is just a great vibe and hellllllo home of The Merkins! I do wish they would add an NA menu, I really don't drink much alcohol, my body hates me even after one or two; but I am loving craft non-alc drinks (maybe some adaptogens), like Ocean Beach Cafe offers. Just a thought.... but TBL is definitely worth checking out!

Love this place! Odd location surrounded by auto repair shops, but has a great rock n roll vibe inside. Bartenders are great. Decor is cool: light fixtures over bar are made from drumsticks--some signed by bands like Metallica. Lights over pool tables are made from drums.(see pics)

Great beverage options, wonderful service, and I always look forward to coming back to The Back Lounge.

The Back Lounge, formerly Evie's, is a fun little spot to get your drink on, play pool, or darts. We stop here every year on our pub crawl fundraiser. The bartenders are really nice, and so are the patrons. There is a very comfortable vibe, it's welcoming, not at all stuffy, and I instantly feel like having a seat and hanging out. Last year two guys asked me why we all had matching shirts, I explained what we were up to, and they bought Jell-O shots for our entire group. They were quite tasty btw! It's always a fun time, and I look forward to returning.

Great spot for a drink and some pool

Great little spot for a drink and some r&r with some friends. Has two pool tables and a shuffle board and darts. Good vibes and ppl lined up to play pool.

This is a solid dive bar type. Small place, two pool tables, one interactive dart board. Plenty of TV's in there for game days. I would avoid going there on (presumably by experience) Thursdays as there is karaoke night (unless you enjoy that). Drinks are definitely reasonably priced, and not light with the pour either

Best Jack and Coke in Dublin!

See all

Stopped by INC 82 for their St. Patrick's Day special and it absolutely delivered. The corned beef…read moresandwich on marble rye was outstanding. The corned beef was piled high, incredibly tender, and packed with that perfect salty, slow-cooked flavor you hope for but rarely get. The marble bread was the perfect choice--fresh, lightly toasted, and sturdy enough to hold everything together without overpowering the meat. Every bite had that ideal balance of savory corned beef, soft bread, and just the right texture. You can tell this wasn't just a quick holiday gimmick--it tasted like something they really took pride in preparing. Paired perfectly with a cold drink and the lively St. Patrick's Day atmosphere. If this sandwich makes an appearance again next year, it's 100% worth coming back for.

Review #1,030 Posted on 3.31.26…read more We came here to eat an early dinner after my goddaughter's basketball game for a late birthday celebration. This spot is located at San Ramon Rd, in a strip mall with a buffet & a small nursery. It's also oddly enough sharing a building with a men's suit/coat place. There's outdoor & plenty of indoor seating inside. They've got tons of beers on tap, and a pretty simple, yet good variety menu. They do small oz beer flights too, where you pick the 4 you'd like to try. We got nachos to start, then ordered a pesto chicken sandwich, Cobb salad, & a pasta with chicken. Nachos were really good, they weren't chincy on the steak portion, to me something customers notice and would return for.

"Wow, fantastic venue, fantastic beer selection!"…read more It's been quite a while since I've patronized this restaurant and I had to give it another try. We came early Sunday afternoon. Parking is easy and there's plenty of spaces for a disabled person in a wheelchair. Our server, Alex, was especially professional and courteous. She really made this a good meal for us. She was helpful in ordering suggestions and came back often to check on us. A+ service! On a beautiful, cool winter afternoon, my wife and I sat in the dining room; my wife ordered the taco plate and I ordered the pear pomegranate salad. Both were promptly served up and were absolutely delicious. Naturally, I had to order a beer. I ordered the award-winning Brown ale. Absolutely fantastic! Don't tell anyone, but they only charge $6 for pints. Thank you for the great service and great menu. Now if you could only bring back the hops growing on the wall everything would be perfect.

I got the green jacket burger which was a cheeseburger piled high with crispy onion straws, bacon and an ipa bbq sauce. I opted for the spicy sauce that had a nice kick to it! The burger was very juicy and all of the elements melded together great! I paired it with their lager beer (since they don't have Coors light) and it made a great lunch paired with some crispy fries!

The inside and patio are both casual and open, similar to a brewery, and they have a self-serve tap wall, which is awesome. First time using one, and despite the self-service setup and ordering at the counter, the service we did get was great. Wait time for food wasn't long at all. I ordered the Sessions Burger, and it was lowkey one of the best burger's I've had in a while. I love blue cheese on a burger, and the caramelized onions had a deep, rich flavor. I also liked that it wasn't obnoxiously large for no reason. The fries were perfect, and the ranch was excellent. Honestly, ranch is a good way to judge a place like this, and theirs was rich and smooth. Also really enjoyed the beer I chose. Pouring it yourself is a fun experience, I could spend all day trying different beers. Great spot. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in town again. And no, it's not just the post-hike hunger talking, this place is serving seriously good food.

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.
