Today I walked in the bar and sat for 5 minutes without acknowledgement from the female bartender, as she talked away with one customer unable to multitask and scan the room for new customers or others in need. I was a bartender for years, I knew how to be efficient and multitask. I then decided to go to the restroom which I left after 5 minutes only to come back to a still ongoing conversation with her blinders on apparently. After more 2 minutes of sitting, I walk to the other end of bar and said can I get a drink? She knew I was upset and instantly got an attitude and said she did not see me in last 10 minutes and that she's never seen me before as an excuse. She then played the victim blaming her leg in a cast for not seeing me as if her eyes and ability to be observent of front door ( directly in front of her at the time) and say hi, had to do with her injury(Gaslight much?)she said she went to the back which I saw but she was only the one minute and I came before that occurred. Because I called her out, she said to put down my drink she had made me and get out after giving back credit card. This girl will be costing you business from a previous bar owner perspective but it's your bar. All I know is the best and busiest bars have the most observant, friendly bartenders who will get regulars that will pack that bar. Avoid this place and their unprofessional bartender read more

Really good vibe here and extremely friendly staff. I came in to have a drink and pass the time and was very comfortable having a drink and shooting some pool on my own. Nothing really too complex about the place. Decent pours. Decent prices. Decent space. Lots of TVs. And some pool tables. What else do you need from a low key bar? Also, free pool on Mondays. So that's pretty rad. read more

Awesome local staple. Place has an 'off-the-beaten-path' feel while being on the beaten path. Staff was great! Knew a lot of the bar's history. Ran into this place while literally on a run-Buddy had to have a beer "I want to run, drink, run." So yeah. Locals are all frequent fliers who were close-knit and crazy-awesome-welcoming. Staff knew everyone's name and the place had a very hometown bar feel. Tangent, but critical to mention: Drumstick chandeliers were a bad-a** touch. This place was awesome. Hoping to give it more of my/our money while visiting. Place is a 5-star yet still seems to hold this feeling of greater and more potential. read more

This is very close to five stars. The limited selection of bottled beer is keeping me from giving the max, but we got a nice Sierra Nevada and Fat Tire on tap. Everything everyone else said... The bartender made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. It is casual, friendly and well lit. We came around 11pm on Friday, and there was a good crowd but not packed. We only had to wait a couple of games for our turn to play pool. They have two reasonably nice tables. On one table were more casual players playing partners, on the other table were some really great players. In spite of their impressive skills, they were really cool and friendly. (Nice shooting, Chuck!) Sorry I'm so pool-centric. Pool and beer, it's what I love. And nice people. I love this bar! read more

Fun atmosphere when people aren't being dicks at the pool tables lol- we look forward to their DJ, Chamber's Thursday karaoke all week long!!! read more

I love this bar! This was the first place I started to frequent prior to moving to San Ramon. It's a regulars bar and after ten minutes they will make you feel right at home. The bartending staff is AWESOME ! They will make you a drink and then you make you known to the other bar patrons. It has a pool league, football pools, BBQ's you name it. It's a place where people can meet and become friends and not just "bar friends." Sappy, but true. It is a fun local time. ******update************ With the addition of the internet juke box the place now has free wi-fi! So don't be surprised if your iphone is moving at warp speed. Ask Janalle (spelling) to come up with a special drink for you or you can try mine - the raspberry truffle. Lorabelle is a sweetie too. Make sure to smack your boyfriend if he stares too hard. Gina is omg super funny, pick a night when her friend (name forgotten) is going to be there and it's on! Jay is cool too. They don't play about having your ID - so don't try it. You'll be asked to leave in record time - and gas is expensive. read more

Evie's is a clean looking bar stuck in a truncated commercial space. it's kind of a small space.. not a lot of seating. lots of flatscreens so one can watch anyone of a dozen sports that are occurring at that time. couple of pool table also available. draughts on the pricier side (5.5) or one can grab the special beer (4) was there briefly until the locals left so i don't know how they treat outsiders. bartender and the owner/manager are friendy., hospitable. on draught: -only about 6-8 usual suspects available, no new microbrews -parking may seem terrible but the back has pretty of spaces. read more

This bar is alot larger than it looks from the outside. They have 2 pool tables, a shuffle board, and a jukebox. There are many locals here and this place has a "neighborhood" bar kind of feeling. Drinks are cheap. Bartenders are friendly and so are the clientele. There are few places in Dublin to hang out late at night past 10 so I would recommend this place to catch up with a few friends and grab some drinks before heading out to start your night, or just for a chill evening. read more

A well lit bar with strong pours, what more can you ask for? My friend Julie K was here with some of her pals so I stopped in to say hello. They have a jukebox which was playing some interesting tunes when I walked in, a pool table and shuffle board. I mainly came in for the company but from what I gather this would be a decent place to gather friends nearby. I like bars that have activities so this is definitely one of those places where you can sit, have some drinks with friends and hang out. The bartender the night I came in was super helpful too. If I don't feel like going far and just want to meet with friends later in the evening, I would probably stop in here. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed Evie's yet! Even my friend Amy J. has beat me to it! :) Evie's is what I would consider an "average bar" and that's not a knock on the place, but nothing exciting. You won't find hipsters or dance music or a fancy mirror ball. Just the average crowd of those either meeting for drinks over pool, dimes in the juke, or as my friends and I do ....a late night haven (slim pickins' in Dublin for late night hang outs) we usually all converge to grab a girly drink & catch up on gossip. Plenty of seating both at the bar and within. Sufficiently lit. Clean restrooms. Parking both out front and in the back. And a "safe" place at night for women to meet and not feel either picked up on, or worried to walk to our cars later. And both bartenders that I have met Marta & Jay are both very helpful and accommodating with the drinks. Professional bar service without attitude, ageism, or any other sour behaviors. read more

The Moscow mule was pretty good! The average IQ of patrons at this bar seemed disproportionately low for the city of Dublin, but I guess it's not the bar's fault. I also want to commend this bar for a surprisingly clean women's restroom! read more

Received terrible service from the bartender and was told that it was because I don't tip by the bartender herself.

Best stop threw on my way back home! Great food, atmosphere. Not to mention they have some pretty amazing bartenders. Great job guys, y'all rock. read more

Years ago right when I turned 21 my mom and dad took me for a night out on the town in Dublin. Yes, very fancy. I came back recently for my mans birthday and it seemed different from the last time I was here. Of course, I was drinking then so my memory may be skewed. There is a ton of parking behind the bar. I didn't know that either. I only had one cocktail when I got here. Then I powered up the ol' AMI Jukebox app and took over the juke box. I think Id rather be the mood setter than drink actually. All of the bartenders were great! They were so sweet and friendly to everyone. The one cocktail I ordered was a Greyhound but they were out of white grapefruit juice and only had pink. They were very apologetic. It was fine though, Ill take a little dose of sugar for a good time. Our group played pool for most of the time and enjoyed the music I was picking. It was a bumping place on a Friday night. In all honesty, Dublin has a great little local bar to go take advantage of. read more

With no warning, they have removed karaoke from the Thursday night lineup. This really doesn't seem fair... Just as we were making this a regular in our karaoke rounds, and after I'd invited a group of 12 friends to join us, I'm glad I called in that morning to find out the schedule before showing up to NOTHING. Bites. read more

Solid 4 stars, Kids! Wanna play shuffle board? Wanna shoot pool? How about just plain old shoot the -ish? This is a great place for after work to watch whatever game might be on, or to just people watch. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are friendly and the ladies room...VERY well maintained. Make sure to play the on going dice game for 50 cents - you might win a couple hundred. Oh...and be nice to Jay, the bartender. He's a good dude. read more

I have been to this bar a handful of times. Every time I have left asking myself and my friends, "why did we go there again?" The last time I went there with a few friends and I was the designated driver for the night. We had already been to a few clubs before we wound up there. I was ordering just a glass of water and tipping every time the bartender gave me a refill, even though he was giving me an attitude for not ordering a drink. Towards the end of our stay, one of my friends couldn't hold in her booze and yacked out side. So I go in and ask for a glass of water. The bartenders response, " I'M NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SERVING WATER! TALK TO ME WHEN YOU WANT A DRINK!!!!" Needless to say none of my friends, nor myself will every go to this dive bar ever again! read more

BEER:THIRTY I lived in Dublin for a year and often stopped at Evie's on my way home from work. It was a great place for myself and a carpool buddy to chat over beer and tell our work stories. Decent prices, a friendly staff, and pool tables are all you need at 5:00 after working all day. Evie's serves all three. I miss living close to this bar (though, I do love my new local ones). But this is still a great stop whenever I'm in the area for a minute! read more

A great bar to have a cold one and shoot some pool with awesome bartenders. The regulars are really cool and the drinks are really strong. Pool tables, digital Juke box and a perfect dive bar vibe without the sketchiness. Come on by, we're playing pool and there's a shuffleboard table too. read more

See all

Sorry Evie I will not spend another dime in your bar. Obviously this bar is your hobby cause you don't seem to care that people don't go there because of your staff. Believe me the ones that do go there would come more often. Jay sits at the bar drinking for free on is off time and is an arrogant jerk to customers he doesn't know. Even when I see him at your competition (Gallagher's) I throw up in my mouth. There was 6 of us last time I was there which was more than you had sitting at your bar, we were treated poorly. Would have dropped a couple of C notes but another bar got our money. It's sad cause it used to be a nice place to go.. read more

This is a great place to go if you are one of the 11 towneys that hang out at the bar all the time. My friends and I have never had a more unwelcoming experience at a local bar. It might be the fact that we brought the average age down by a couple of decades. If you are looking for a chill bar in the area go to Yalls or Sunshine in PLeasanton. read more

Best local bar in the area! Love Evie, Jay, Jonay, Trixie...everyone! read more

The Back Lounge - Sports Bars Near Me - Dublin, California

Good place to grab a drink and catch up with friends after work. They have two big pool tables and a shuffle board table for those looking for something more interactive to do. Bartenders are friendly and they occasionally have pub mix available. They don't offer the largest selection on tap, but I'm no the biggest beer fan. The crowd is typically older. read more

Cool jammin joint this is! It reminds me of my old stomping grounds Long Beach. Pool tables, fully stocked bar (they have blue skye), Awesome jukebox!, cute/funny bartender and cool peeps! I ended up here after my friend JLO had some bad beef at this other bar and she's all "Let's go to MY bar" I was like OK! We had a blast! This will definitely become a regular stop for me. The only small complaint/suggestion is, it's a little too BRIGHT inside... maybe some dimmer lighting. read more

I come to this bar regularly after a long day at work and absolutely love it. The bar itself is a small more intimate location with several flat screen tv's streaming anything from baseball to hockey as well as a jukebox with a wide selection of music. The real reason I come here is for the bartenders. Marta and Jay are always welcoming and friendly but Jonay is my favorite with her great attitude and conversation at the bar. As with any small location such as this there are only so many opportunities to play a game at their 2 pool tables or hear your selections on the jukebox but the bathrooms and seating area are always well maintained and cleared of debris unlike many pubs in this area. I would definitely recommend this location for someone searching for a great place to pull up a seat and enjoy a pint as an oasis from the daunting reality of a long work week. read more

I went with a few moms from my playgroup tonight. It was our Moms Night Out and we wanted a little bar to have fun at. One of the moms suggested Evie's so that is where we ended up after dinner across the street. The bartendar super nice and even helped me decided what to drink. We played a few rounds of pool then chatted for a while. Seems like a ton of regulars. Not your chain bar which I like. We will be back... read more

I've been in here a couple times and it's definitely a local place. It didn't take long for some of the barternders and patrons to try to make me feel included. I still wasn't 100% comfortable, but I'll keep going back and eventually will be part of the "in" crowd..LOL BUT - I went on a Wednesday night to watch the basketball playoffs and the music was too loud, obviously it's not a Sports Bar, although it does seem to try sometimes, hence all the tvs and sports memorabilia on the walls. All in all not a bad little bar for a quick drink! read more

Newsflash: Dublin can suck it. No more karaoke for you trivallians. Me thinks I shall not venture to the suberbs for my 'oke any more. No, shan't. read more

Pretty decent bar. It was open late and friendly staff. It seemed like the type of place where the bartenders and customers had a close relationship which is something I really appreciate. Our bartender was super funny and it was great sharing some stories back and forth. The drinks were reasonable and everyone just seemed to be having a good and relaxed time. The type of place you go with a coworker and unwind after a long day and catch up over a pitcher. There are also two pool tables and a shuffle board, which we got addicted to. I wouldn't say there is anything special that the bar does but its in a great location right off Dublin Blvd on Village Pkwy and didn't close super early like some other places. We originally were going to another place (around 10PM) and it was closed and luckily Evie's was open. If a friend was down I would come back to this place for a beer and shuffle board. read more

Came here to help celebrate a friend's birthday and St Patrick's day a day early to avoid the St Patrick's day drinking crowd. Small little bar in a small parking lot and lucky for us we had gotten here early enough to get a parking spot. Beers (at least the ones I care to drink) are $5.50 a pint. I got a Sam Adams and made my way to the back of the bar where two pool tables awaited our group. Pool games are $1 each game (get a couple bucks in quarters from the bartender) A jukebox in the bar provides the music. All in all, not a bad place to hang with a few friends. read more

Evie's is the type of place where there staff will make you feel welcome and interact on a real personable level. Plenty of creative drink options and adequate space to relax. Definitely fun to go hear AFTER going to Gallaghers if you're into pub crawling. Again, best thing about Evie's is the staff. Btw.. it's pronounced: Ev-ees not Eve-ees or E-vies read more

Evie's has moved just around the corner. They are now located close to Boat Masters on Village Parkway. I've lived in Dublin for 10 years and have never gone inside Evie's thinking it's just another dive bar. Well, last night a buddy and I decide to go there. We were pleasantly surprised. Evie's is just a regular bar. It's far too well lit to be a dive. The bar is very well stocked and the mixed drinks are alright. The bartender (I didn't get her name) was extra friendly and ran a very professional bar. Our drinks were never empty for more than a couple of minutes before she asked us if we'd like something else. On top of that, she was very pleasant to deal with. The place has quite a few regulars and it gets noisy at times, but that's what's supposed to happen at these places. Now, I need a few cups of coffee before I can get back to work! read more

So here we are last night meeting some friends to play pool. They pick the place and say meet us @ Evie's. Evie's, Where the eff is that? So we make our way over to Dublin and it looks a little skech from the outside. Looks straight up divey. We circle around the front for parking and felt like all 6 pairs of eyes inside the joint were checking us out and not exactly sure as to why. We didn't see our friends' car out front so we decided to pull around back for a looksy. Same thing. We get to the back lot and through the door we can see everyone eyeing us. We parked and I was thinking "I am not going in UNLESS our people turn up." But then I decided to jump on yelp on my iphone while we waited and read some decent reviews. I saw the post about the madras and we decided to make a go of it. One * is for the bartender. I didn't get his name but he was cool. He is the captain of this joint and checking everything and everyone out. I asked about the madras that I read online. He's like "It is vodka, cran and OJ" That cracked me up for some reason. I had one anyway and he asked me what kind of vodka I wanted. Goose! Another * is for the jukebox. That thing was cool. It's like a gigantic iTunes. While I only spent a few bucks playing songs, I had a great time searching for stuff. And another * is for the work that has been done inside that place. The place is clean, freshly painted, well-lit. The two pool tables are decent. There were a few folks who brought in their own cue sticks but for the most part, the play was casual. I noticed that the lights over the tables were cool -- with red dragonflies. The ladies bathroom was clean -- amen. I'd say there is pride of ownership in this place for sure, which is great. There was shuffle board, too (but we didn't play). I'm taking away one star for no bar food. I was hungry for some chicken fingers with ranch sauce or some garlic fries or SOMETHING. Alas, you can buy a pint size of chips for $1.00 off the wall. The patrons figure they can go round to Lucky's (one building over) and bring over a pizza pie. We didn't order one, though. Overall, a good experience. We'll go back to this little place that looks like a dive but is comfy inside -- despite the slight intimidation we felt just from driving into the parking lot. We'll go back and intro some of our other friends to this casual joint. read more

This place is beat. From the venue to the cranky employees. Only good thing is free pool games on Mondays. read more

The Back Lounge - Nice mix of music options on the ejams but only 2 pool tables. Monday nights pool is free as long as you drink which is convenient for us! - Sports Bars Near Me - Dublin, California

Went here for the first time after work and stay about an hour or so but a nice place, very clean including the ladies room. Bartender was very nice. Yes, it's definitely a local place but I like that. I will definitely go there after work once baseball season open, because of all the TVs. Another big plus is the free wi-fi. read more

FUN LITTLE BAR! My wife and I went here to visit with friends after the Dublin homecoming football game. GO GAELS! This bar was really fun and the servers were very nice, which considering the workload is pretty amazing in itself! It had that small town feel that made me feel right at home. This was a fun bar and I'm betting it would be a great place to catch a Oakland Raider football game! If only we lived closer.....lol! read more

The place is clean and fun and the staff and owners are awesome. Go support this local business, you won't regret it!

Evies 's must be one of very little bars I've visited in my life that I would return. Bartenders including the owner are friendly and busy . So don't be shy to speak out to grab their attention; when they are not swamped they are chatting up with customers and just making sure everyone is content . If you happen to come in during a busy time don't be shy . Shyness will only get you well nowhere . EVIEs I will be coming back for my pitcher of blue moon x2 . read more

Wow - I am bummed. I was hoping to find that cool little bar everyone yelped about. Not so here. It was a-ight, but dingy. The bar food looked like Aunt Millie's tailgate fare. Chili in a mini crock pot, weenies in a big crock pot, and assorted cheese slices that were wilted. Oh, and just dig your hands right on into the chip bowl... Yumbo. The wine selected was hilarious. What kind of Chardonnay? There are 2 kinds, Sutter Home and La Crema. Talk about good and evil! Also, you better bring cash folks or risk paying a $2 processing fee if you try to use your Visa... I don't think I'll be going back - but for those who are looking for a neighborhood joint that is part dive bar - have fun! read more

This is a GREAT local bar. It's in a safe neighborhood. The clientele varies. I tend to stop by Friday nights on the way home from wherever we may have been. Jay has been there forever & he's friendly. Pours a good drink :) Example on the people. Last night around 10:30- 2/3 deep at the bar, pool tables full. I was sitting @ the bar people watching. Jay was the only bartender. Not once did I see ANYONE waiting for a drink, waving $ not being served. Everyone was taken care of. By 11:30- the place was pretty empty & quiet again. Another reviewer had a 'complaint' about no food. What's great about Evies? Bring in your own food. They don't care. I walk in regularly with McD's fries since they are down the street. The gentleman next to me last night was finishing up a pizza. There are PLENTY of places around to bring something in. Come in for a drink! Enjoy :) read more
