Cozy speakeasy! Reservations only! I believe the max party size is 5. Located under Wursthall, this place serves up traditional cocktails as well as cocktails with a twist. Came here 3 times within the span of a month because it was that good! Free popcorn for those of us with munchies are a nice touch. The list of cocktails on their website was outdated, so YMMV on what's available. I really wanted to try a pandan cocktail that I saw, but it had been off their list for some time. I've gotten the ube drink every time, and it goes down oh so smoothly. Can't taste much alcohol, but maybe that's a good thing. I've also gotten the temple gate and bengal tiger. Temple gate is nice a refreshing. Bengal tiger comes in a cute rabbit mug, heavy on the anise seasoning, but also pretty heavy on the alcohol. Super dim in here though. Wouldn't recommend the private reservation spot, as there is even less lighting. read more

Would would have thought there was a speakeasy in the basement of a biergarten, what a trip haha. Cozy speakeasy made me feel at home and the witchy/astrological theme was a delightful touch. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable, crafting amazing cocktails. It was fun that they had 2 versions of classic drinks, refer to the pictures attached! The "Lost at Sea" pandan cocktail and the "Ube Espresso Martini" were my favorites! The unlimited self-serve complimentary popcorn was a fun surprise, and the vintage decor added to the overall charm. Hidden gem I will be returning to. read more

I am glad I had the opportunity to visit this place. A key takeaway is to make a reservation in advance. During my first visit, I didn't make a reservation and ended up waiting for two hours without being able to join. However, after making a reservation for my subsequent visit, the experience was spectacular. The music, vibe, service, and cocktails were all exceptional. We ordered Holy Water, Dream Catcher, and Manhattan - all spectacular. A hint of grapefruit oil on top of Holy Water was a hit, and Dream Catcher with Vodka instead of Tequila was terrific. I would also love to revisit this place for other occasions - eat something before coming in, or you can always enjoy food afterward. read more

Checked in at this place for a double date. Couldn't think of a better bar than this. Apparently the tarot cards (their featured drinks) have been updated quite a bit. There is always something new. This time they even made something up for my special request. It was a nice surprise! The service was super attentive. He checked on me a couple times and made sure I liked my drink. We had a great time. Like always. We constantly try to grab some slots at prime time. It's really not that easy. Already thinking about going back for Chinese New Year time. read more

Couldnt get a reservation so we came right when they opened to see if they had any walkin availability and we were lucky and got a table! Our server was super nice especially when we did a little off menu ordering! He was really great with drink knowledge and recommendations. The drinks themselves were great! I wish I could try the whole menu but my tolerance is nowhere near that high. The vibe and decorations are also fun. Plus they have a free popcorn machine! Already have plans to come back! read more

Reservations required! This speakeasy is a hidden gem underneath some hot dog shop. A great Alice in Wonderland-themed experience, the vibes are incredible and the decorations are so fun, unique, and classy. To get there, go inside the shop towards the back and then down the stairs. Through the curtains will be a hidden bookcase door which is just so cool. It also isn't overbooked or crowded too which is a huge plus. You get your own space in a finely crafted atmosphere. There's even a self server popcorn machine! Drinks: Hit and miss (Get the more casual, fruity ones) Personally i love spirit forward drinks but virtually all of them were either creatively very odd tasting, or just average at best. Service was polite and friendly. Although I wish we knew they were closing early because at like... 10pm we just suddently got the bill when I think the online time said 1130. Drinks: 6/10 Atmosphere: 11/10 Service: 8/10 Value: 7/10 read more

My first review of 2024! This place is awesome! It's located under Wursthall at the corner of Baldwin and North B Street. Plan ahead and book a reservation early. Their online system opens up about a month out. I've tried many times to get reservations even a few weeks ahead but they are always booked up. You walk through Wursthall and down the stairs in the back to find a small "lobby" behind velvet curtains. From there you'll need to figure out how to get into the hidden bar. The bar was dimly lit with light music playing in the background. An old buddy and I met up recently to catch up. We chanced it with a walk-in at around 6:30PM. The place was fully booked and packed but for a party of 2 the host said he could squeeze us in for a 30 minute window. It was just enough time for one drink at a side table. On the table was a menu deck with traditional cocktails on the white side and their own spin on the drink on the back of that card in black. There was also a menu sheet with an extensive list of whiskeys, bourbons, and other spirits. I love old fashioneds so was naturally drawn to their version called the "El Lobo" - bourbon, horchata, cane, mole, and bitters. Mole in the drink concerned me a bit but the host assured me it wasn't a glob of traditional mole and that the drink was great. He was absolutely right! I loved the cinnamon flavor from the horchata mixed with the bourbon. They sprinkled a few pieces of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal too. This was one of the best old fashioneds I've ever had! I can't wait to come back with some friends next time to have the El Lobo again along with some of their other drinks! read more

It's been so long since I've been to a speakeasy of this caliber, and Wunderbar did not disappoint! The cocktails, either classic or inventive by the team, are strong and flavorful, with exceptional service. It is a bit dark inside, so reading the specialty (black) menu will be difficult. But if you tell your server the type of drinks you like, they will easily give you a great recommendation. read more

The cocktails were ok. When they say only light snacks available-they really mean store-bought type of dry snacks. So that doesn't really enhance the drinking experience. We had one drink each and left. read more

Tried Wunderbar for the first time and we were so impressed! The speakeasy vibe is fun and unique. The drinks were thoughtful, crafty and delicious. Our host and server, Xian, was amazing. So warm and welcoming from the start, and he took the time to describe the drinks and help us choose the perfect ones. He really elevated the whole experience. Such a fun spot and the perfect venue for an authentic speakeasy feel right here in San Mateo. We'll definitely be back! read more

The place seemed to be fully booked on Valentine's Day, but they fit us in as a walk-in party of 2 in the early evening. Loved all the bunny decor, including that on the shelves of the "secret door" on the lower level of Wursthall. But the entire Alice in Wonderland themed setup inside the speakeasy was lovely, and along with the dim lighting, set the mood this past Friday. We enjoyed free self-serve popcorn from their popcorn machine near the bar, as we browsed the cocktail menu creatively designed as tarot cards. We ended up getting the northern lights which was like an old fashioned with herbs, and the temple gate, a nice twist on the french 75, a delightful somewhat fruity concoction with a balanced blend of gin and sparkling wine, both beverages with a decent amount of alcohol that crept up on us during our visit. The drinks were great, but we also appreciated the charming and inviting atmosphere, and the wonderful service we received, as well as them accommodating us without a reservation. Very cool spot, especially for date night :) read more

This place was a total bust. Found out when we arrived that you should make a reservation, but thank goodness we didn't. We got seated anyway. The overweight bartender with short hair, she was incredibly rude from the second we walked in the door. The server who seated us, he was kind of nice. We ordered our drinks and after 20 minutes of waiting without our drinks showing up, we walked out. The bar only seats at maximum 38 people, and with 2 bartenders, we should have easily gotten our drinks within 5 minutes. I let our server know that we're leaving and he says to the bartenders, "Cancel their ticket, they didn't want to wait." Really? We had already waited 20 minutes and they hadn't even started making our drinks yet. If you're super ultra hipster who likes to wait for drinks not to show up, this is the place for you. We went to the Irish bar around the corner and had a blast for the rest of the night. Cheers! read more

tl;dr speakeasy bar with a nice ambience, but drinks were not too memorable Cute ambience, located in the basement of Wursthall. "Follow the white rabbit" to get to the bar. Reservations only. Small space so wouldn't come for parties larger than 4-5. Nice place for dates. No food available, but they do have complimentary popcorn, which is a nice touch. In addition to a spirits/beer/wine list, they have their cocktails on tarot cards with classics on the white side and their interpretation on the dark side ($15). They also have a few mocktails ($8) off-menu and can also make some of the drinks alcohol free. Tried a few drinks including El lobo (old fashioned twist), frog prince (margarita twist), and doc (Manhattan twist). The doc was the most spirit forward. I was intrigued by the ingredient list, but to be honest, the drinks weren't too memorable and not that much of a twist from the original cocktails. Overall, glad I came to experience the ambience, but wouldn't come back for the drinks. read more

Husband and I love going here when we can find childcare. Reservations can be hard to get , however planning about ~1-2weeks ahead works well. The bartenders have great attitude. Love how clear the drink descriptions and serveware are. Popcorn FTW read more

Webooked a 6 pm table at wunderbar. I am visiting from NYC and the place came recommended from local portfolio founder. We got a table at 6 and around 7:30 we were told by the server, Kiernan, that we have to leave in 15 mins while there were 2 other tables empty. We asked for 1 more round as we didnt see anyone waiting for the table plus 2 tables were empty but we were point rudely blank told that we have to leave. When we asked to stay as there was no reason to leave with empty tables and no one waiting -we were told that we just have to leave and that there are bookings for 8:30 on those tables which was 30 mins away from the time we were forced to leave and check was forced on us. I asked to talk to manager but our server told us that he is the manager and there is no one we can talk to! This has been a very bad experience and I would officially like to share that this is not only a bad customer practice but almost on the boarder of legal liable one. I am writing this to officomplaint against the server and hope that this is taken care by the management so that other paying customers do not have to experience such rude unacceptable and unpleasant behavior. read more

Checked out this speakeasy with one of my friends recently and wow what a great find! It's directly under Wursthall (you just follow the rabbit and you'll find Wunderbar). You do have to make a reservation before coming. I loved the aesthetic and ambiance of this place. Their cocktail menu is so fun AND you can grab complimentary buttered popcorn. I ordered the lost at sea cocktail which had pandan in it - it was pretty good and the pandan was a great addition. My friend got the french 75 which was also good. I'll definitely be back -- this was such a fun bar! read more

A hidden (literally) gem in San Mateo! This speakeasy is a must visit if you are able to get a reservation. It is located within Wursthall and has a secret entrance to get in. I believe you need a reservation to enter. I managed to snatch one last minute day of, but if you're able to plan ahead, it should be fairly easy to get a reservation a couple days or a week in advance. Our reservation for 2 was at 9 pm but we arrived about 15 min early since we finished up dinner earlier than expected. They were able to seat us early though, which was nice! The menu that they have is a set of tarot cards where one side is a traditional cocktail and the other side is their creative take on the cocktail. We opted to get the creative cocktails. - Forbidden Garden (4/5): This was a spin-off of a martini. It had gin, cocchi rosa, rose hips, vermouth, and house bitters. This is definitely one of the more stronger cocktails in my opinion but still good. - Shapeshifter (5/5): Absolutely amazing cocktail - my favorite of the two. If you are a fan of fruity and not-so-strong cocktails, this is the one for you. It has passion fruit, yuzu, basil, and lemon, with gin as the base alcohol. It is a spin-off of a French 75, which is a cocktail I have never heard of but sounds delicious based on the ingredients listed in it. They also have free complimentary popcorn to snack on! No other food otherwise but since it is located in downtown San Mateo, there are plenty of food options nearby. This was such an amazing experience, and I love visiting speakeasies. I'm hoping to visit again sometime soon and try some of their other cocktails. read more

Such a hidden gem in San Mateo! I absolutely love this place! Tucked under a restaurant in downtown San Mateo, you follow the rabbit down the stairs and leader you to a cute bookcase with a rabbit. Once you wave to it, the door opens (actually had trouble with this so we ended up pushing it open LOL). It's best to make a reservation a couple weeks in advance, otherwise you can't get a table. I was able to get a resy for 2 and we arrived early and waited for our table to be ready by getting seated at the bar. The menu was super cute! It was like a flip book that had typical drinks on one side of the card, and Wunderbar's version of those drinks in the back. Dragon Slayer: 9/10, came in a cute lion cup and was filled to the brim! Not too strong and slightly spicy. Shapeshifter: 10/10, this was DELICIOUS. I love yuzu so this was a drink for me! Misty Stork: 8/10, just really strong lol Log Cabin: 7/10 I believe this is their version of an Old Fashioned, I forgot. Not a fan of those in general and it was soo strong. My friend actually got boba with it too, so that was interesting! Honestly, such a cute date night spot. I loved the decor and how intimate it was. It was a great spot for me and my friend to have good drinks and catch up. They even have free popcorn! Highly recommend and can't wait to come here again! read more

A tarot-themed speakeasy? Say no more! Even before I stepped foot into Wunderbar, I knew this was going to be my new favorite bar, and this is coming from someone who doesn't care for bars. Once you arrive to the restaurant Wursthall, just let the front desk know you have a reservation, as Wunderbar is reservations only. Once your party is together, follow the white rabbit downstairs, and there's a glowing white rabbit behind the curtains you wave at to let you in. Let them know about your reservation, and they will seat you. I'm a sucker for absinthe, so I asked about it. Glad I did, because it's a Secret menu item. So happy it's here. They gave me a dropper to drip water over the sugar cube, making me feel like I'm back in chemistry lab. In addition to my glass of absinthe, these were the drinks we got when we were there: 1) Siren's Song. This tasted like rubbing alcohol 2) Valiant Quest. It was super sweet 3) Wise Woman. This was refreshing, like a watermelon drink. On my most recent visit, several months later, they had updated their cocktails with new offerings. I got: 1) Forbidden Garden. A variant of the martini, it's a gorgeous crimson color with a bitter taste. 2) Shapeshifter. Our bartender told us this was their most popular drink among the new cocktails. It's very lemony, and I enjoyed the taste of yuzu. 3) Dragon Slayer. Apparently an update of Valiant Quest. It's very rummy and pineapple-y. They can also create non-alcoholic drinks upon request. The complimentary popcorn stand was also very appreciated. We lost track of how many buckets of fresh, hot, buttery popcorn we snacked on to go with our drinks. I also brought in mochi donuts to snack on with my drinks. Excellent customer service! My biggest feedback is that if they're marketing themselves as a tarot-themed bar, they really should have drinks named after legitimate tarot cards. For instance, I'd love to see drinks named after The Magician, The Empress, The Devil, The Hanged Man, The Sun, The Moon, the Stars (you get the idea, the Major Arcana), and even at least a few from the Minor Arcana (would be curious to see what gets picked out of the Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles). read more

Visited Wunderbar for the first time and was very intrigued by their menu. They offer classic renditions of popular drinks listed on "white cards" and their unique take on those classic drinks on the reverse side "black cards." I took my mother to her first speakeasy experience as there aren't many experiences close to San Mateo. She enjoyed their Margarita which was strong yet balanced drink. I spoke with the bartender (I'm sorry I missed his name) about my preferences. I was interested in the Sidewinder, however not a huge fan of rum and asked for a gin option. He recommended the off menu drink, Shapeshifter. It was delightful and exactly what I was looking for. After enjoying the Shapeshifter with complimentary popcorn, I was curious about the Sidewinder and ended up ordering it as my second drink. I preferred the Shapeshifter, but it was still a nice drink. I would recommend it to anyone who wouldn't mind rum as the main spirit. We enjoyed the bar experience and would highly recommend this place for groups under 4 as it is a small intimate space. I plan to take more friends and family to Wunderbar as it's a nice local speakeasy. read more

Your fun begins with actually finding where Wunderbar is physically located. I took a wrong guess(by not looking for the address) and wandered part of downtown San Mateo to find their front door. Spoiler alert: Wunderbar is actually located inside the Wursthall restaurant. The rest is up to you all to figure out. For my first visit here, I had both their Old Fashioned and Manhattan. I love how they have complimentary popcorn to munch on while you soak in the eclectic, and cool ambiance they have created in this Speakeasy. This joint could easily be placed in San Francisco but we get the treat of them being located in my town. read more

Bartender was awesome and cocktails were amazing. Super cool laid back space. Too bad the experience started off poorly with the woman at the front castrating us for not having a reservation, only to then immediately seat us since there were numerous openings. read more

Located in the back of a hot dog restaurant, follow the white rabbit down the stairs to look for the entrance of a speakeasy. The atmosphere in here is absolute immaculate with a witchy/ astrological theme to the drink. You have your white tarot cards as classic cocktails & black tarot cards with an innovative twist. It gets booked up pretty fast but this is definitely one of the coolest bars to visit in the peninsula! Highlights: lost at sea: a pandan cocktail served in a lion cup old fashioned: they use really good bourbon for their drink it's actually a steal definitely one of the best that I've had Tip: there's drawings of what type of glass each drink is served in if you want any cute aesthetic cups for photo ops! Service is AMAZING. Loved the bartenders read more

I never knew such a cool speakeasy existed in downtown San Mateo. It is reservation- only on most nights (if not all nights). So if you plan to go, make a reservation on Tock in advance because they do run out of resys especially on the weekend. Check-in at Wursthall and follow the white rabbit down to the speakeasy. Wave at the lit white rabbit and the door will open automatically. As it is a speakeasy, it is pretty dim in there. I reserved the nook for a party of 4 and it is especially dark in the nook (sort of like a little cave room). There is free, unlimited popcorn which is a plus! Highly recommend making a reservation to check out this speakeasy! read more

===TL;DR=== - Gauntlet - Dragon slayer - Stalk their reservation availability as they're always booked at night! - What beats free popcorn with unlimited refills?! ===TMI=== This "secret" little spot is located inside the restaurant Wursthall. Make your way to the back and follow the white rabbits down the stairs. Ok, got to the secret bookcase (speakeasy entrance) but waving at the white glowing rabbit upon arrival as instructed did not work for us. Thank goodness someone came out so we can go in. I booked the High Top Reservation for 2 people online and they accommodated us before our reservation time (wanted their Nook reservation but it's always booked). If you know me, you'll know I love a good hole in the wall, especially with 1920s feel. And this place twisted that plot with Tarot theme? Sign me up. Let me tell you, they don't play when they said the dark tarot card drinks were the stronger versions of the white ones. Woowee, sippers for sure. Good amount is space inside: bar, side wall seats good for a party of 2, back lounge area, and the cool tarot inspired nook space. Dark brown leather chairs with ambient lighting.. what's not to love. It's like traveling back in time where we have to sneak out to relax and catch up with friends. Can't wait to be back for more. read more

We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday last month and had a good laugh actually trying to find this place. We actually passed it because they're located at the bottom floor of the restaurant, Wursthall. The fun continues when you try to enter and it looks like you are opening a bookcase shelf and we were shocked, when the bookcase swung open to reveal a Speakeasy bar right behind the door. We had reservations and were seated in the back left corner. Oh, important note, this is not a walk in kind of Speakeasy, you will need reservations to continue being a welcomed guest, so go make your reservations online. My favorite drink of the night was the French 75(Gin, lemon, champagne). It was so delicious, I had to resist having a second one that night. I love how they have a popcorn machine, and you can munch on fresh popcorn while you have a drink, and hang out with friends in a cool atmosphere. read more

My dad found this place, and we went on a Thursday night. The fantastic atmosphere is full of mystic items like a glowing crystal ball and fantasy books. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but there is a secret passageway. Hint: Follow the white rabbit. The drink menu has a cool concept. The front side of the menu has traditional drinks like a margarita and old fashion. While the back side is their take on these drinks with twists of unique flavors and bitters. I have to say the two drinks we tried were under whelming. Though the atmosphere and free popcorn were what made this place fun. Go here after dinner for a drink or bring your dad. Heck, have your dad bring you as I did. You won't be disappointed by the ambiance. read more

What an amazing place. The ambiance, the drinks, the service, all 10/10.

I will definitely meander down the steps here for another enjoyable evening! read more

Drinks are inventive, and strong, but the double-sided yet simple menu also have classic cocktails. If have a favorite you may find a variation or substitute. A free popcorn stand by the bar was very nice. This is a non-quiet speakeasy but not too loud with good background music. While dark it's not pitch black and has a home-y feel. and looks like a small library sharing a bar space. Hard to find at first since there's no sign or markers. It's actually located inside the restaurant Wursthall (which is on a street corner). Go towards the back and then downstairs. read more

This is such a cute place! Fantastic atmosphere and it is full of mystic items. The concept of finding the bar was very interesting, just follow the stairs, walk all the way down and wave at the rabbit that sits in the book shelf. It was such an experience. I would suggest to make reservations ahead. Service is whatever, we didn't get greeted when we got there. We waited for a bit before sat down. It takes forever for us to order the drink. Drinks were OK, both were not my favorite. The menu was really interesting and nicely designed. We ordered Forbidden garden and one more drink. They both look average, nothing fancy and I was expecting more flavors. read more

If you're ever in downtown San Mateo, you should check out this speakeasy bar. Wunderbar is located inside Wursthall-a German restaurant/bar (sorry not supposed to tell you the secret!) I love the design of the menu and the bar decorations-it gives you a mysterious feeling yet classy and traditional at the same time which a speakeasy should be all about. The drinks seem simple compared to other speakeasy drinks I've had but they were all well mixed and the bartender was so nice to custom made a drink upon my request. I wanted something light and refreshing so he made me a cucumber gimlet. Yum! It was a perfect way to end the night after dinner for us. Would love to come back whenever I'm in the area next time. read more

Went here with my partner to celebrate and what an awesome experience it was. Gotta find the secret entrance in the back of the hotdog restaurant. Follow the white rabbit! The drinks were extremely tasty. They have classic cocktails as well as riffs of the classics. I like to try new things so I tried the El Lobo and Lone at Sea. Both I would 10/10 recommend. El Lobo has whiskey and horchata. It has a clarified cocktail vibe so if that's your jam, definitely give it a try. The Lone at Sea was a tiki style Rum based cocktail which was the perfect end to my drink line up since we had reservations for bbq after but I wouldn't mind just heading upstairs for some brats and beer. My partner was recommend the shapeshifter by our waiter. It's a Gin based cocktail with passion fruit. Refreshing and citrus forward which definitely captured her heart. Great for this time of year since we are entering the summer. Before coming here, do make a reservation because it was busy and the area is cozy. I appreciate the reservation system though and it's not a bunch of people standing crowding the bar area wanting a drink. Very pleasant experience! read more

Fantastic speakeasy that really takes down the rabbit-hole into a new world. I absolutely loved the theme, the decor and the comfortable environment. The waiter was really great too in answering our many questions and handling some of our requests for mocktail versions of some of the cocktails. All the cocktails and mocktails our table ordered were done really well. I ordered the Lost at Sea and really enjoyed it - i think using a more exotic and tropical flavour like pandan in a rum-based drink was a great idea. read more

Wunderbar - Sidewinder's Fang - how cute is the snake orange peel?! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Mateo, California

In one word. DOPE Ok that would make a real sh!tty review so here goes. Im so excited we finally have a speakeasy in the heart of Bay Area. I went to Wursthall recently too, with no idea this hidden gem laid underneath! It's got a similar feel to the old SingleBarrel in San Jose, but this is a bit smaller and more hidden - which makes it even cooler. Follow the white rabbits down the stairs, go past the red drapes, touch the rabbit's belly, and voila. The bookcase rotates and you're in! Um, if you made a reservation, that is. I will say that drinks aren't the absolute best, because some are pre-made/batched and all are realllly sweet. But you can ask them to remove as much sugar as possible! Then it's sweet; but not syrupy. The place is small, hence needing a reservation. And they're really popular, even on a weekday! So be prepared to finish within 2 hours or so. This makes the cutest date spot or small group gathering. I'll definitely be back. read more

Fun speakeasy bar in San Mateo! Just remember to make a reservation ahead of time. Once you arrive at Wursthall and let the host know that you have a reservation at Wunderbar, they will direct you downstairs where they have cute small rabbits on the wall to follow. The hidden entrance is nicely decorated. The bar itself is relatively small and intimate. Our server was super nice throughout the experience. I love that all their specialty cocktails were a twist on a classic cocktail; the menus were decorated like tarot cards which was cute. We tried the Valiant Quest and Wise Woman and both were very tasty. They also have a popcorn machine where you can scoop complimentary popcorn to snack on which was very much appreciated! Prices are pretty average at $14 per cocktail. I had a great time and will be coming back! read more

This is such a neat speakeasy underneath a foodhall! There's no way to really tell where it is, just follow your sense of "wunder" and maybe also the little white rabbits down the staircase :) Then through some curtains you happen upon a bookcase that opens when you touch the bunny's tummy. Opening up to a gorgeous library themed cocktain bar! The vibe was mysterious, cozy, aesthic and calming. We enjoyed conversation with our bartender and sipped away on a Lost at Sea and Lobo. The Lobo was their take on a Old Fashion bjt with a spin of horchata. Quite Strong. My Lost at Sea was a delicious take on a sidewinder's fang tiki drink. It had pandan and coconut milk and was soooo tasty! Especially topped with the jelly! read more
