Found another place you all need to check out at some point! We came here for lunch, so it's open at noon, nobody here at noon! So perfect time to come if you are old like me. Otherwise it's a bar that is a theme bar. Right now it's decorated for Halloween and super cool. They are playing the best music. (think The Cure, Smiths, etc). We got charcuterie board, a couple of great drinks, I think because we were the only people here we had excellent service! Would highly recommend day or night! read more

Super kitschy bar in Livermore. I heard they rotate a theme probably seasonally. They'll totally redecorate and create a temporary atmosphere to keep the crowds piqued and interested. Like I'm sure they'll do something for the Halloween months and I'm sure it'll get all Christmas-y during December. In the summer months when I went, it was kind of an underground island-pirate themed. "Lost Pigeon Island." Now the decor isn't high production or anything , think school dance level production. There was a turquoise aquatic color scheme in a darkish space, a cotton-y material by the door that towered toward the ceiling to give the impression of a 3D cloud. And the feature I was most a fan of was they had these huge 'painted' portraits of a heroic pigeon in the theme for the season. So a pigeon with a shark in one frame, another pigeon in pirates garb in another. And these frames were above the main booths so everyone can just soak up the fun. Place gets busy and they do take reservations. Rezzies might even be mandatory on Friday/Sat nights I'm sure. We strolled in on a lazy Sunday afternoon no prob, but the place was like 85% filled. There was only 1 bartender that time of the day. And these labor intensive cocktails take a while to make. Multiple bottles to grab, different mixers for each drink, different glassware, garnishing fruits or spice and dabs of assorted bitters. Cool tender told us he'll be with us as soon as he can. We said no prob. Probably took a little over 5 minutes for him to open up. But it was entertaining enough watching all these elaborate drinks get made right front of me. Toasted Trader ($18/4*) Bourbon , Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Italian Holiday Tea, citrus and bitters. Not sure if this was made to specs but there may have been a slight alteration. Not that I'd really know but I thought I heard the bartender mention something. But the drink was served up, with a garnish of star anise inside the glass and a cinnamon stick that he lit to smolder. The drink was so smooth and interesting, a touch sweet and sour with a creamy texture even though it was clear-ish. Menu says 'clarified milk punch' but I have no clue on what that entails. I just know it was pretty tasty but think they left out the Cinnamon Toast Crunch part out. Which wasn't a deal breaker. Afterglow ($18/4*) Cilantro infused vodka, cachaca, citrus, ginger, tiki bitters and mango liqueur. Another very interesting concoction this time garnished with popping boba which silhouettes in the warm yellowish cool liquid. We each only had 1 as fun as the drinks are and as kitsch the vibes were, we are just kinda simple and straight forward drinkers. A Ketel n soda and/or a double Jami on the rocks with a beer back. And this block has several choices for such simplicity and lack of theatrics. I'd still come back if I was with the right people and occasion. It is pricey but with the right peeps can be a fun and whimsical out. read more

Kitchy-themed bar with interesting drink glassware! I met up with my GF's to have drinks... good drinks... very good drinks. This place have wonderful icy margarita's, be sure to add shots of hard liquor to turn them into a cocktail. The favorite drink of the night was the Pigeon POG drink, it was tasty, fruity and had good top shelf liquor! Buzz!! The food menu was limited but necessary since we didn't have dinner. We ended up order the following: :| Charcuterie board - I've never seen cheese cut up to a size that would should serve squirrels. The few slices of cured meat was kinda sad. But we love the effort and the honey comb that pairs great with some stinky cheese. :( Tri-tip skewers - I would skip this. It came out over cooked and underwhelming. :) Hot honey flat bread - I did enjoy this dish. Never had honey on cheese bread before. Come for the drinks! Not the food. Then chill on their fun furniture and enjoy! read more

I've been intrigued by the idea of this bar that completely changes themes every few months, and I finally had a chance to try it with a few friends. The current theme is Lost on Pigeon Island, and it waa both island-y and pirate-y at the same time. The atmosphere was super fun and cute, and we were seated at a low table with two couches. However, the music was quite loud, making conversation a bit challenging. In addition to their cocktail menu, they also have interesting mocktails, which can be turned into cocktails with a shot of alcohol. I chose the Golden Sunset, which was light and refreshing. We ordered some items for the table to share, including a bowl of olives, which came out piping hot, with a little bowl for the pits and toothpicks all around. We also ordered a stuffed spinach flatbread, which was served with a dollop of tzatziki. It was very tasty, but I do wish they'd been a bit more generous with the tzatziki. We ordered the chicken meatballs, which came with little pieces of garlic bread. I found the meatballs to be a little bland, despite the marinara sauce they were served in. I'm looking forward to trying The Fat Pigeon again, when they have another theme! read more

I keep seeing The Fat pigeon on social media for months and decided it was time to check it out. It was pirate theme this summer. I saw a few drinks I had to try. The one I started with was the one in tbe cone glass. I can't remember the name but it tasted like melted sherbet ice cream, very sweet. My husband got one that had grapefruit. He was not a fan but I did. He doesn't like too sweet drinks. We hot the pizza and the shrimp. The pizza was good. The crust was crispy enough. The shrimp was fine but not something I would need to get again. Service was ok, we had to get their attention a few times. I'd come back if the have a cool theme. read more

I've been searching for a place that serves high tea and found out about this place online. This bar is located in Downtown Livermore. There is street parking but very limited even on a Monday evening. We found street parking around the block. I do want to mention that parking is limited to 2 hours max during the day until 6pm. The bar is next to several eateries, similar to Downtown Walnut Creek. We came here on a Monday evening so it wasn't busy at all. At first I thought the bar was closed! There were no customers when we walked in, it almost felt like we had the whole bar to ourselves...well, we were the only ones there, aside from the staff. The decor was amazing. When it came to the movie, they did not miss! Everything was decorated in Wizard of Oz theme, including the bathrooms. It cost $60/pp + gratuity ($24), which includes 2 pots of tea, a pastry tower (Yum!), 2 chicken skewers, and a slice of tiramisu cake. Our server/host was very knowledgeable of the tea blends. We had to select 2 out of the 4 choices. I recommend the green tea blend (this was very light and easy on the stomach) and a caramel blend. We also ordered a drink from their cocktail menu: Good Boy of Oz, which I also recommend. Overall, the service, themed decor and entire experience was exceptional. I'm glad that I found this place. read more

The good: fun atmosphere that is picture ready. The drinks. And the food. Not so good: unfriendly bartender. Never looked at us when we ordered. Did not crack a smile. Very dry. Their drinks are so yummy. Not sure why customer service was not up to what this place shows on instagram. They change the theme of the restaurant often so keeps us going back. read more

SUCH awesome service!! Stopped in after girls' dinner for drinks and catch-up time. They have indoor and outdoor seating, the indoor decor is super cute with total tiki vibes, but it was a pretty evening so we snagged an outdoor table. Perfect for people-watching: right by the street, but not so close you're dodging traffic! We arrived early enough on a Friday that we were seated immediately. The drink menu has something for everyone, including mocktails (huge plus!). I went with the Mango Bubbly Beach Bum, complete with a little umbrella and twisted straw - as cute as it was delicious. Pro tip: they have heaters outside, just ask and they'll bring one right to your table. The servers and bartenders were so attentive - even sitting outside, we were never forgotten, which I really appreciated. The best part? When we paid, our server told us not to leave just yet, something was coming. The three of us were side-eyeing each other trying to figure out who planned a surprise. Spoiler: it was the bartender (I believe his name is Prince - didn't catch it that night, but other reviews confirmed my suspicions)! He brought out mini shooters in this volcano-looking contraption, sprinkled it with cinnamon, and it did a fireball thing that was SO cool. He even remembered we ordered mocktails and made them non-alcoholic. Such a thoughtful send-off! Downtown is officially our new girls' night spot, we'll definitely be regulars. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This place is absolutely great, highly recommend it. There are a few things that are a bit annoying about it but beyond that I look forward to coming back. I highly recommend making a reservation first and foremost, however there is no-show fee per person so you have to ensure that your entire party is there on time The ambience and drinks is really what makes this place so special, especially during the holidays. So much beautiful decor to take in and appreciate. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive however, the night we came, we definitely must've had someone new because she was a little bit of a space cadet and all over the place, insisting that I help her with their POS system, that she couldn't figure out herself, but thankfully her team mates stepped into support us and corrected some of her mistakes read more

Disappointing night at Fat Pigeon. Severely understaffed tonight, so that's on management! Hardly anyone there, yet we waited 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us at the door then another 10 for the server to give us an underwhelming welcome. I have been a few times before and never had this poor service. We had to flag our server for the bill. He didn't give us the time of day. Look at my reviews...I'm very fair and balanced read more

My friends and I had some time before an event so we decided to stop by here for some drinks on a Friday night. Thankfully we were still early enough to get seating. The inside is small but decorated nicely according to the theme. Drinks were also on theme. I really like how their cocktails change every season so I get to try something new every time. Still is one of my go to spots for good drinks downtown. read more

This review is so long overdue I am about to be ready to fire the next one when I go back during Christmas season! lol We went here after some wine tastings at the local wineries. I saw a video on this place that decorate during the holidays and it looked really neat so we stopped by. We were here on a weekend , earlier in the afternoon so it wasn't packed. Decorations were cool, feeling the Halloween spirt in the air. The drinks were fun and tasty and the vibe was chill. Staff were also very kind and welcoming. Highly recommend ! read more

Christmas threw up in here and I kinda liked it. Drinks were on point and tasty with the Holiday theme. You do get free Santas with purchase so look closely! Overall it was a fun night.

This is my holiday tradition and this year the service was superb! Destiny our server was the best. We ordered the charcuterie board, chicken and tri tip skewers and ended with a decadent chocolate ganache cake, that was so delicious. I had the Krampus cocktail that was refreshing with a bit of spice. As always the holiday decor was extravagant and whimsical. It's best to make reservations so you're not waiting for a table. We weren't rushed or given a time limit. It was an enjoyable time and great way to start the "2025" holiday season. read more

Just came here for the halloween decorations and drinks and had a great time! I have been here a few times before but I loved the halloween theme this year. The drinks were super fun and interactive. I ordered the Harvest Rite which was deconstructed and I got to "mix the potion" which was fun, strong drink but if you like espresso martini's you'll love it. We also got the Viridian Veil which was delicious and The Vixen was yummy and had a smoke bubble we got to pop. Definitely paying for the ambiance here but we had a fun time regardless. read more

We visited the fat pigeon a couple times during the Halloween pop-up and loved it! Very creepy (in a good way) and my family had a great time. The drinks and food were very good, as was the service. One of the evenings they also had a DJ mixing music which was a lot of fun. Making a reservation online was easy, and it's recommended to book in advance if you want to visit around a major holiday. Only thing is they have limited non-alcoholic options and run out of them quickly. Because those drinks are premade, they don't remake them when they run out, so my husband couldn't get a fun mocktail and had to settle for a soda. Not the end of the world, but something I hope they could consider adjusting for the future. read more

We came in for some Holiday cheer with my family and it was AMAZING! We did not have a reservation but the hostess still made us feel welcomed and gave us options to get a table. We were seated at the bar and it was so fun and festive with drinks in holiday cups and the all the beautiful decorations from floor to ceiling. We had the pretzel bites along with chicken meatballs with garlic bread,lamb sliders and the spinach flat bread. We will definitely make a reservation next time to be able to sit on the couches and visit longer. read more

Went last night and they were packed, the host asked if we had a reservation or if we were walking in. I let her know we were walking in and the host gave us two options. We could either put our name down and they would call us or sit outside and the first table that opens up they would let call us in. We picked the latter. Good to know they do reservations and I'll be doing that next time. The decor was amazing and u felt the holiday Christmas spirit in there. I will say the music choice didn't match the theme but that's okay. Not really listening to the music since we were conversing anyway. They let u keep the naughty or nice shot glasses (while supplies last) when you order the shot. U can purchase most of the other holiday theme glasses if u want as well. We sat outside for about 20 mins which was fine because they have heaters. Order the naughty shots, nice shots, krampus, and I forgot the other name but it has mouse in it. All the drinks we ordered were more on the sweet or fruity side. Which wasn't overly sweet. I enjoyed the krampus drink the most. Did not order food this time but they do have food options available. Inside felt a bit cramped but still nice to see all the Christmas decor inside. Great place to hangout and have a couple of drinks. Workers always came by to make sure everything was okay and if we needed anything else. read more

Had a lovely afternoon tea service here on 8/17, at the end of their Wonderland-themed era. The tea was good and the food was plentiful; there was so much dessert that we had to take some to go! Loved the theme and the decorations, which were definitely Instagram-worthy. This tea service is heavy on the sweets, which is great news if you have a sweet tooth like I do. I enjoyed the sandwiches, which were a decent size. As for the desserts, the japanese-style strawberry cheesecake and the guava pastry were my favorites. As for the tea, I liked the ones we had, but wished there were more tea options. I look forward to coming back for more afternoon tea with another theme! read more

Low rating do to the business only having one employee working on a Monday evening. She was solo and made no apologies!!! We sat at table for two and was able to witness the amount of time it took her to make a cocktail. No fault of her own that most cocktails took an of 10 minutes to make. But she made no apologies for making other customers cocktails who ordered after us. My husband cocktail was overly sweet and tiny. The environment was fun! I love Halloween. read more

Welcome to a magical world of wonder! Mixed with a smidge of horror of course! My boyfriend and I decided to drive an hour out of our way to catch the newest theme at the Fat Pigeon and we are so glad that we did! From the very first step into this enchanted spot you are greeted with a mix of excitement and fear! The place was super busy when we arrived but we were still greeted with a smile and immediate service. The place was incredibly detailed and no corner of the bar was left uncursed! The bathrooms were each decorated with separate themes of horror or mystery, the pigeon themed killers on the wall were the extra touch that kept me spellbound! Don't even get me started with the drinks! These things look like they were cauldron brewed themselves with an extra phantasmic touch! Don't just let my words entice you, check out all the dreamy pictures to finally sell your soul into checking this place out!! This place casted its charm on us, and we were happy under its spell!! read more

Super cute themed bar! There's plenty of outdoor seating with live music on the weekends. If you want to sit inside, make reservations ahead of time. The bar is unlimited time, but the other interior seats/tables are a 1 hour time limit. We ordered: 1. Spooky tini flight ($30 for a flight of 3 martinis - espresso, bad apple, and pumpkin spice). The pumpkin spice was my favorite. The bad apple was like a sticky candy drink. 2. Hot honey flatbread ($13) Smaller than I expected, but good for what it is. 3. The offering ($18) it looked more basic than it sounds. It's just in a regular glass cup with a cookie on top. 4. Nocturnal ($18) this was cute and really good! I'd definitely recommend this one. Parking: Street parking or nearby parking lot. Overall, this is a cute bar to check out during different seasons. I can't wait to see their Christmas theme next! read more

Very disappointing and uncomfortable experience My friend and I came here last night and unfortunately had a very uncomfortable experience at the bar. There were four bartenders working, yet we were repeatedly ignored while other customers sitting right next to us were being asked if they needed anything and were being helped. We tried several times to get the attention of the bartenders, including the tallest male bartender, who was particularly rude. I would try to get his attention, and he would literally walk away and completely ignore me. Meanwhile, other customers around us were being served. What made the experience even more upsetting was that my friend and I are Hispanic, and we couldn't help but feel that we were being treated differently than the other customers at the bar. I understand that a busy bar can get backed up, but this did not feel like a situation where everyone was simply waiting their turn. We were being repeatedly overlooked while people who arrived around the same time, and even after us, were being acknowledged and served. We eventually managed to order a drink, but when we wanted to order another drink and a dessert, once again nobody would help us. At that point, we decided to leave. I left no tip because I was extremely disappointed with the service, and I also gave a thumbs down when asked about my experience while paying. I am leaving this review because I genuinely hope management sees it. We came in expecting to have a nice evening and spend money at your establishment, but instead we left feeling ignored, unwelcome, and honestly discriminated against. Management should look into how customers are being treated at the bar and speak with the bartenders who were working that night. read more

This place was absolutely out of this world! I love how they switch up their bar themes with the seasons--or just whatever they think will draw in a crowd. When I visited, it was decked out in a spooky Halloween vibe featuring Freddy, Pennywise, and other creepy ghouls. Since Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for, I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere. From the detailed décor to the creative drinks, Fat Pigeon nailed it. We tried the Brut-al Death, which had a lovely balance of passion fruit and pomegranate. Since I'm a sucker for anything with lychee, I couldn't resist ordering the Ode To Freddy, made with lychee, mango, and hibiscus. It turned out to be a warm drink, and I appreciated that our server made sure to mention that since most people would probably pass once they hear "warm." But I was all in--and I'm so glad I tried it. It was like a dangerously delicious tea. My sister had heard they serve some drinks in special cups, perfect for those "IG-worthy" photos, so of course we asked about them. We ended up ordering Death Do Us Part and Screams At The Island. Both were served in the cutest themed cups and tasted just as good as they looked. Screams At The Island came in an adorable ghost cup, creamy with a refreshing mango flavor. Death Do Us Part was presented in a clear skull cup with a white mini rose that they lit on fire--once it burned down, it transformed into a little red rose. The drink itself was a classic margarita, but the presentation made it memorable. Overall, I had such a fun experience here and would definitely come back to see what theme they roll out next! read more

We came on a Friday night during their Alice in Wonderland series and it was packed inside. Thankfully we were seated immediately at the bar. However, once we seated, it took a very long time for our order to be taken, and over half an hour for us to receive our drinks. I understand they're busy with a full bar, but we were sitting in their faces and the bartender that initially took our order kept stepping away to the back, and then came and asked to re-confirm our order 2 more times. The drinks tasted ok, but definitely not worth the wait. Especially because the music inside was so loud, it wasn't the easiest space to chat in. I will say, the DJ's choice in music was great! On the bright side, they only charged us for only one drink instead of 3. However, I think this could've been so avoidable. If it weren't for the service, I would consider coming back. read more

Came here for the first time after seeing the IG post about high tea. I'm not a bar goer, so this type of event attracted me to give The Fat Pigeon a try. The theme for this quarter is The Wizard of Oz and so that added to the fun ambiance. The pastries are provided by Primrose Bakery in Pleasanton. Everything was extremely delicious. Standouts for me were the lemon tart, biscotti, and scone. Surprise treats kept coming and we were very satiated by the end of our tea time. The best part of the experience was the service by the owner. He was extremely attentive and was truly invested in us having a positive experience and that sort of service made everything better. Such kindness and pride in everything. Make sure to reserve a spot. Tea time is popular and gets booked. What a great experience. read more

Go for the experience and drinks. Don't stay for the food or the service. The food was sub par and nothing was memorable. The service was extremely lacking. The cocktails were good. The decorations were on point. If you are in a group and have a table you will be asked/told to move outside after an hour to allow another group to sit there. Once you're outside they completely forget about you. Our waiter was very poor. We had to ask multiple times for water. They forgot we ordered food and had to go back and get it. They should have kept it because it sucked so bad. For $28 the charcuterie board was minuscule in size, the portions were very small and the pretzel sticks were soggy and rubbery. The Tri tip sliders were dry, flavorless, and depressing. read more
