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!

When I arrived, I was told I was in the wrong place and directed to walk around the corner. There was no clear signage indicating where DoorDash pickups were supposed to go. The only sign was a small A-frame that was blocked by parked cars, making it nearly impossible to see. Following the directions I was given, I ended up in the back of Mavericks and even wandered into the kitchen, where the cooks looked at me like I was the idiot. I went back to the front, and the waitress walked me to the correct location. As I followed her, I overheard the owner behind the bar say, "There's a goddamn sign," apparently talking about me. He didn't realize I was standing right behind her. When I appeared, his attitude instantly changed, and he apologized by saying, "Sorry, I've been here since 11." 6-7 hours of work, oh no! I'm sorry, but working since 11 isn't an excuse for talking about customers like that. If your pickup process is so confusing that people end up in the kitchen, that's on your business, not your customers. I won't be back. Better signage, a clearer pickup process, and a little respect for customers would go a long way. Do better, Tommy Boy.

At this point, we sometimes joke that the staff is probably sick of seeing us! Julia does such a great job running this place, and honestly, she and her team are a huge reason we keep coming back. The staff is always welcoming and makes it feel like our neighborhood spot. The beer is great, the cocktails are great, and you really can't beat the convenience. I would love to see INC 82 build even more of a relationship with the hockey community next door. Advertising at the rink or offering a discount for hockey families would probably bring in so many more parents and teams. A happy hour would also be an amazing addition. My only other wish would be a few more healthy food options, especially for those of us who are here constantly! Overall, it's such a great local place, and Julia and her team really make it what it is. If it weren't for the staff, we probably would venture off and try other places more often, but they keep us coming back.

Dahza and Jaden just giggle when they see us coming. Adore them so much!!! The GM Julia has been a stand out as well. There are not many GMs that out there that still love interacting with the customers by serving still. Appreciate that Inc 82 is still around!

Bring a pooch and they are well taken care of with water bowls and treats! We didn't have one this time but it was still nice to watch and play with the other pooches there. Right now they have a fireside favorites menu -- $15 only for an entree and side and dessert! I got the burger (with veggie patty) with fries (elevated to truffle fries) and banana pudding. Everything was excellent! We also got the shrimp tacos which was pretty good -- not as good as at the local taqueria but still not bad. Will be back on the next warm and sunny afternoon for more fireside favorites!

We ended up waiting a little over hour before being seated. No apologies were given or any new communication on the wait times. We got drinks right away but took a while to get our order. We asked multiple times for the dog menus and water bowls to be told that they ran out of menus and told us the two options. Water bowls were given towards the end of our lunch. We ordered nachos for the table as a starter but was served with the rest our food. When they came out with our food, it was three people yelling out our orders and would either hand it to someone at the table to hand it to another person on the other end of the table or slam it down on the table. Also, one server was only holding one plate and waited for my husband to get up, walk over, and get his food from him. Odd. Unprofessional. Unhospitable.

Plus they have a great variety of cocktails and other drinks. My friends and I hang out here all the time, and in my opinion, it's a much better experience than Bridges if you're looking for a restaurant on a golf course. It's usually easy to get a table, the service is amazing, and there's plenty of seating available inside and out. The happy hour menu is one of the best around, and the outdoor bocce ball courts are a fun bonus that make it a great place to relax with family and friends. They have brunch, lunch, and dinner options. It's become one of my family's favorite places to eat, and I think it's seriously underrated. If more people knew about this place, it would be packed every day.

I apologized and left, assuming I had unknowingly broken a rule. I called today to check and was told that dogs are in fact allowed. I'm also unclear why simply walking through the parking lot warranted being approached and shooed away in the first place. So I'm left wondering why I was singled out and given incorrect information. Whatever the reason, the interaction felt unnecessarily unwelcoming and left a very poor impression. I wouldn't choose to patronize a place that makes some people feel as though they don't belong.

I ask a person who works there if they can put on the UCLA Maryland game. He said "sure no problem." Goes in back to get the channel changer and the schedule print out. While I'm waiting the waitress takes my order, a smaller sized Modelo for starters. The guy comes back out and tries to bring up the game. They don't have the Big 10 Network. "Check please!" I explain to the guy that it's really surprising and disappointing that they don't subscribe to that channel since the last three national champions came from that conference and there are now 18 schools in the conference. I know it comes down to economics, but when my waitress finally gave me the check for my beer, that small Modelo was $10. A case at Costco is $24.99, so a hair over a dollar a beer. Works out to probably an $8 profit on that one beer. No wonder they were only about 10% full and most of those weren't watching the games anyway. Went to The Draft sports pub in Pleasanton. Very nice people, the place was much nicer, cleaner, cheaper drinks, great food selection and THEY HAD THE BIG TEN NETWORK!!! Never going back to Beebs. The Draft will get my business from now on.

There's self serve beer on tap that you pay per ounce using a card they give you. Looked like a wide selection from IPAs to stouts. They also had a fun cocktail menu and plenty of food options from tacos to burgers. The hostess was really kind to explain to us how their restaurant works in terms of the self serve beer as you pay at that front beforehand. Whereas, food items and cocktail drinks are ordered at the back left corner. We ordered the "Such a Gemini" and "Paper cut". Both were more on the sweeter side and you couldn't taste the alcohol at all. Quite dangerous really. The "Such a Gemini" was a hibiscus agave drink. The "Paper cut" was more of a fruity mix with the elderflower and lemon mixed in the whiskey, which I was a HUGE fan of. Gorgeous presentation as well! As for the food, we got the Sessions burger (cheeseburger) and cod tacos both with truffle fries. And maaan. Cod tacos were cooked well and super fresh. Big fan of that red salsa on the side. The Sessions burger was juicy and not dry, but I really enjoyed how it served on a pillowy pretzel bun! Would love to bring my family and friends here! I'd recommend this place if you need a space to hangout at.
