I used to go the The Office all the time pre-pandemic. Since then, they've made major upgrades and expansions to the place. Karaoke is so much fun! And the regulars are a vibe. I will definitely come back! read more

The bartenders and security are all professional and nice! The pool tables are terrible. The bathroom floors are consistently pretty gross. There was an issue last year where a regular of the bar was taking inappropriate pictures of my friends without their consent and being aggressive when confronted about his behavior. Security told him to leave but he has not been 86'd which tells me the owner cares more about $ than the comfort and safety of the other patrons of the bar, so I refuse to support this business. read more

Came here with some friends to enjoy our night out and we were not disappointed. There was karaoke happening all throughout the night inside and a DJ playing music outside. Bartenders were super nice and on point. They have pool tables too, you have to get to one quick since they do get occupied quickly. Good vibes all around. Definitely will come again! They had a food truck too if you get hungry. read more

I was extremely disappointed by my experience here. I was asked to leave because I had my service dog with me, and staff asked me to provide documentation for the animal. Under California law, businesses are not allowed to require documentation or proof for a service animal, as that falls under medical privacy protections. They are only permitted to ask limited questions regarding whether the dog is required because of a disability and what task the dog is trained to perform. What made the situation even more concerning was that staff specifically told me they were following orders from ownership. Being publicly questioned and removed over this was embarrassing, stressful, and completely avoidable. Denying access or removing someone because of a legitimate service animal can also expose a business to liability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. I hope ownership takes the time to properly educate staff on California service animal laws and ADA compliance so this does not happen to someone else in the future. read more

I used to come all the time until tonight. They have a cover charge now and they have a dress code now and they're really strict about everything. I was just here less than three weeks ago and they're telling me they just changed the rules about two months ago which is a lie because I was just here less than 3 weeks ago. The vibe is completely different and it's not fun anymore, oh and not to mention they completely water down your drinks . I was watching the bartender the whole time. It's over $30 just for two mixed drinks. I've seen a lot of people leaving now because of the new change. I know it was popping before but now ever since the new change it's gone completely down downhill. They should've just kept it how it was. AND also they charge to karaoke that used use to be free plus they got a dj that literally not even djing just playing YouTube music... Honestly it was fun while it lasted . There are much better bars than this. read more

The Office Cocktail Lounge - 12:45am and there's no one there it used to be way more people than this - Dive Bars Near Me - Concord, California

The office- a dive bar in Clayton! certainly not famous for the drinks which tasted like ass! A classic dive bar. Pool tables in the back-- a DJ and a dance floor! I liked the heaters and the tequila pineapples! Other people in my group got the mixed drinks and they said they were horrible! I will say they played a lot of great music! read more

The environment felt great. The people were definitely locals, which is amazing. The pool tables though. When is broken, the rest are stained. And I understand it's a bar but keeping up with things that attract your locals like the pool table being refined when needed and repaired when needed are essential. Let's get them things refelted. read more

I didn't want to leave a review with just one visit, so I went back again to see if my thoughts would change. They didn't. Came on a Friday night. The place wasn't busy at all. We decided to grab a drink and shoot some pool. We stood at the bar area for a good 10-15 min without any acknowledgment. Again, the place wasn't busy at all. This had happened the first time, and it happened again the second time. We walked out and went to a different spot. read more

Best time in a long time! Fantastic bar, wonderful outdoor space, great music! Can't wait to come back!

Looking for a spot to grab a quick drink and whilst scrolling through yizzelp I found this spot. Glad I did, it was walking distance although we drove, the drinks were good, the vibe was chill and the music made me want to throw my hands in the air! There is pool tables which I love and tons of outdoor seating which we will enjoy next time we go and hang. This is the spot but it's called The Office! We will be back We will walk We will drink more read more

The Office Cocktail Lounge - Jenga - Dive Bars Near Me - Concord, California

Stopped by The Office Cocktail Bar & Lounge on Sunday and was blown away by the vibe. DJ Marcus had the place moving with the perfect mix of old school R&B, exactly what you want when you're looking to relax but still feel the energy. The music alone made the night, but paired with the outside atmosphere, it was just the right balance of fun and laid-back. If you're into great cocktails with a soundtrack that takes you back while keeping the dance floor alive, definitely check it out. DJ Marcus knows how to set the tone. Can't wait to come back! read more

I was treated very rudely by a bar tender named Maddy. Management felt that her feelings were more important than patrons and I was asked to leave. As a person with a physical disability and developmental disabilities, I feel that the behavior was an atrocious. read more

It's Friday night, where they're having their weekly dance party that starts around 8:00 PM. The bartenders were pretty, friendly and quick to serve. The music was popping. They have a solid selection of drinks on tap (at least 8) and fun cocktails like the "leg spreader" haha. Solid crowds. A solid dive bar that also has a good turnout. Note: I was with a bunch of my friends so that always makes things more fun. They also had a hotdog stand that came out after 11:00 PM if you're hungry. read more

they advertise and are even listed on yelp as pet friendly thats why i started coming here in the first place...for whatever reason it was a no go tonight because to quote the security guard "because people do weird shit w/ dogs". what does that even mean ? O and when i put my pup in the car I still couldn't get in for a beer my homie already paid for as 40+ year old without ID. Wont be going back, but maybe update your business listing attributes if you aren't going to be pet friendly ‍ read more

Stumbled upon this spot during our Ladies Night Out dinner and we are ready to go back! It was karaoke night so of course we had to participate. The regulars were super friendly and the drinks were good and strong as they should be. It's a nice sized venue with an outdoor area with games. There are pool tables as well. This would make a great place to host an event like a birthday or such. read more

FAITH is the rudest bartender there. Overall this place got rude bartenders and wanna kick you out for speaking up like you won't clap back. BACKSTORY : Faith made me and my boyfriend 3 drinks each, thats a total of six drinks. Each time we ordered something called a Jolly Rancher that they sell. No complaints, everything tasted fine. Before the night was coming to an end we ordered a fourth drink. Another Jolly Rancher. This time when she made it, it did not taste right at all like the other 6 that she made. This time it tasted like nasty soda tonic water. I politely told her and asked if she could fix it or remake it. She refused to and said that we needed to order another shot for it to taste right. This makes no sense because this didn't happen with the other drinks that she made. SO i went to the other bartender Maddie, and told her about the drinks tasting nasty. She instantly tested the sprite and said "oh its because we ran out of sprite thats why it taste like that". This immediately pissed me off because that is what I was trying to communicate with the rude as* bartender faith and had she listened or wouldn't have had such a bad attitude, we would of had new drinks and we would of been on our way. So me and faith had an exchange of words and the security ended up kicking us out. This was unfair to me because the bartender shouldn't had been rude in the first place, if you been making my drinks ALL NIGHT and i haven't complained about any of them except this ONE then obviously that should tell you that something is not right. I live right down the street in Walnut Creek, 8 min away, and come here pretty often. Overall I would say whenever I come , the bartenders always seem so unhappy like they don't like doing their jobs or like they don't want to be there. Which is why I never tip. Maddie is probably the nicest bartender I actually came across at this place. I never complained though because the vibe was always poppin on a friday night and my drinks are always good regardless of the bartenders having attitudes or not. But this time my drink was not and I knew something was off with it becus of the way it tasted. I only took one sip and spit it out and my boyfriend did the same. And for her to refuse to fix it or make me a new one is crazy work after us ordering literally the same thing all night with no complaints, spending money all night, thats why I don't feel bad for going off on her after Maddie told me that the sprite was out. Seriously need to talk to your bartenders because they will be the reason why this place does not succeed or people no longer want to come here. I recommend this place to all my friends and take all my people here when they come to my house. I spend money almost every week here and to be refused to fix my drink is absolutely crazy. Even the security guard said, "u guys dont seem drunk and i get why u guys are mad but i have to do my job and ask u to leave becus the bartender faith asked me to". LOL after i speak up to her about refusing to remake my drink after the other bartender just admitted it was because the sprite ran out. Will never come back to this place. I will spend my money elsewhere. And also tell people not to come here. Y'all are not the only ones in the area that play good music on a friday night with decent drinks. read more

Went here on a fluke after dinner just to have a few drinks and had a great time. Samantha was bartending and she was absolutely great. They had quite a nice selection of custom drinks that were really good and tasty. Sam was attentive and made sure we had all we needed. The music was great. I will most definitely be coming back to hang out. read more

Samantha absolutely killed it tonight. We had a bit of an emergency with my group, but she went above and beyond to accommodate us. We thought the night was ruined, but I was able to have a successful (and fun!) birthday party. Thank you Samantha! And thank you everyone else at The Office! Definitely recommend. read more

This is a great little dive bar. They have a decent size outdoor area that's covered, and a huge parking lot. Inside, they have pool tables, and a couple old school arcade games. The bartender let me know they are expanding, and adding more games soon. Very friendly place with diversity, and everyone was welcoming. There wasn't any food but you can order from the Mexican restaurant next door. The drinks were reasonably priced. read more

We came across this place looking to play pool, and surprisingly this place was more than just pool. It's a dive bar. I have to give props to the bartender who was able to handle the bar on her own like a champ. She was on it! I would have enjoyed more music in the background, but over all I enjoyed coming here. read more

Love the ambience and especially DJ night. Always a fun place to go! The outside area is fun to hangout at.

Love this place. It has that local, hole-in-the-wall vibe, but it's not. I've been there twice. The bartenders were great and the clientele were fairly diverse. read more

Overall the experience is good. Drinks are consistent. Staff are very friendly. The nights of karaoke gets pretty busy and the DJs that run it are top notch. Good spot to hit after work. read more

This place was a little hard to find at first, its in the back of a shut down business so it was hard to see. I have been here a few times to gove it a chance but i cannot anymore. This is the third time i have been charged wrong for drinks. I even got the same drink a few times and different bartenders changed them completely different price. So it ends up being club prices at a dive bar. Also the dj was good, but the music kept turning off because of an electrical issue im assuming, there was extension coords running out from the building all the way back to the dj and the roof of the awning was leaking on the dance floor. This place had a good vibe, but the bartenders didnt seems to want to be there and toward the end it seemed like just a lot of pushy drunk guys who dont want to hear no and wont leave you alone. read more

Hidden Gem! This place is so fun. I had been hearing about it from friends. I decided to drop in on a karaoke night and the energy was electric! Everyone was singing and dancing and having a great time. The people were friendly. The DJ's/KJ's keep the crowd hyped. The bartenders were cool and fun. I had a great time Nd will definitely be fling back. Take the negative reviews with a grain on salt. Try it out for yourself. read more

Just moved to Concord..found this spot, a lil off the beaten path but was completely cool. The owner/bartender Stephanie literally asked if I wanted my drink lighter or stronger lol who does that! We will definitely be back. Went on karaoke night and the DJ was doing his thang! Pool table area was dope, bathrooms clean..a good place for thirsty Thursday! Thanks Stephanie and staff! read more

Sunday funday in full effect! Came here for a few drinks and was pleasantly surprised. They had a dj on the patio playing salsa music, such a vibe. All of the staff was super nice and the bartender wasn't shy with her pour. Cannot wait for it to warm up more to take advantage of the patio. Great price drinks too! Can't wait to try this place again. read more
