Located in downtown Livermore this place has a fun ambiance -- with outdoor and indoor seating on a rooftop. For those who have never been, it may not be super easy to find but if you've been there before, not bad. There are some patio umbrellas on the rooftop but it can get hot!! Food is yummy but the service was slow. read more

The security guard at this location was completely out of line and on a major power trip. My husband and I visited with another couple, and the interaction started almost immediately when we got off the elevator. If you've been here, you know the elevator opens into a very small entry space before you even fully enter the bar. Before I had even stepped off the elevator, the security guard was aggressively grabbing my friend's husband to check his ID. For context, we are all in our mid to late 40s and clearly not under 21. My friend's husband had just noticed a friend at the bar and walked over to say hello and give them a quick hug. That's when the security guard grabbed and pulled him in a very aggressive manner. When my husband calmly stepped in and said that the grabbing was unnecessary, the guard escalated the situation further. He became confrontational and even told my husband he could come back at 1:30 when he got off work if he wanted to "handle it." This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. As a Livermore resident, I will not support an establishment that allows their employees,especially security staff,to treat customers this way. Staff should be ensuring safety, not provoking confrontations with patrons. read more

They have a nice rooftop that has a view of Livermore. We enjoyed drinks and some appetizers along with dessert and had a good time. The food was very rich but the portions were on the smaller side. Service was a bit slower because it was a weekend and 2 large parties were on the patio. read more

Walk-in for 2 on a Saturday night and got seated at a booth right away, they said all the outside seats were reserved. Which was fine since it ended up being super windy. Tried the jamaiquita spritz and it was okay, a bit too fruity for my preference. Much preferred my friend's paper plane. Had the fried chicken sandwich and it was gigantic, came out on basically a small baguette. Fried chicken was very tasty though I think could have used some pickles. Fries were alright, nothing special there. Will have to come back another day with a reservation to sit outside. read more

Not great. Food is blah, salad wasn't made correctly, missing ingredients, they gave us a green dipping sauce that was so spicy it ruined our night. Both of our mouths were on fire for 15+ minutes. The waiter didn't even warn us. Rooftop view is nice but that's about it. read more

Came on a Saturday night with a reservation for a semi large group around 7 o'clock. The place was not too busy yet. However it could easily get to that point giving the environment allowing for outdoor fun on a terrace that overlooks downtown Livermore from the third floor and a lively inside, enclosed space with good music. There's open bar seating, which is great if you're there for a small party and just a cocktail and honestly that's probably what I'd recommend at most. I wouldn't say the service was bad but it was highly disorganized. For example, just having simple request such as getting heaters turned on during a windy afternoon took about 15 to 20 minutes and multiple request to multiple waiters and seemingly no one have any ability to do it so there may be more training for the staff needed to accommodate simple request like this. The ordertaking was a little disjointed in the sense of half of our group got their order taken, but the other half was not greeted by the server and multiple servers came over to help us, but we weren't sure who was the main person taking care of our table. This led to a lot of confusion for a simple request, such as getting the bill at the end of our experience and even placing food orders. When we did receive our food, a lot of it was underwhelming, including the Orozco Pollo. The cocktails with the bright spot in this location and if I were to return again, would probably just stick with that. It's not a bad place, but I do think there are a simple operational improve improvement that can significantly enhance the experience. read more

Will have come again on a weekday read more

After waiting for about 30 minutes for a waiter we left. We we to another place down the street that was great!

We stopped by on the way home from Gilroy and we did make a reservation because it was a Saturday evening. It was empty. We sat on the roof and it was chilly but we had them turn on the heater. The service is slow. Like I said it was empty there was 2 other tables and it still took them 10 minutes to get our drink order. Another 15 minutes to order. We ordered an appetizer that had zero flavor and the steak bites were dry. The steak on the surf and turf had ZERO flavor and was overcooked the shrimp again ZERO flavor. They need to improve their flavors and customer service. I will not be back. read more

I was here with a group of friends after the new year. We made a reservation for the outdoor seating. It was cold and windy hence after our drinks were done we requested to be moved in for dinner if there's available seats. The staff was very helpful and they helped us move inside. The service is great, the food was okay and the cocktails were also worth trying out. They had really good DJ music we really enjoyed. We ordered couple of appetizers such as streak tacos, cocktail shrimps, and the shrimp with rice and vegetables. We had a great time. The entrance is a bit confusing as you have to come to the side of a pizza place (which is no longer there), look for elevator and go to the third floor. read more

Came by for drinks and it was very busy. It took about 45 minutes to receive our drinks. Our server did check in with us multiple times to keep us updated, which we appreciated. I might consider giving this place another try, but I'm still undecided. read more

Azotea - Wine Bars Near Me - Livermore, California

This rooftop spot has so much potential given the prime location, but unfortunately it's just not worth the time or money right now. On a Friday night -- not even a busy one -- we were seated outside and waited 30 minutes without receiving our drinks. When they finally arrived, they weren't even made correctly (it was just a basic gin and tonic). We asked for a fix and ended up waiting again. When we checked inside, the host told us it would "take time," so we ended up leaving the drinks and heading somewhere with better service. Not worth it! read more

The food and drinks are great. This place has a great view and chill vibes. Just taking a star away as service could be better. My husband had to go inside to order thrice so you can imagine how often the server checked on us. But otherwise had great experiences before. They have a great happy hour menu. read more

Enjoyed this during Livermore Rodeo. It was packed but luckily we came in before the rush. We enjoyed the tacos, burger and tater tots. We also had mixed cocktails. The view was so beautiful as you see Livermore town and there was a lot of sun but lots of shade with the umbrellas. read more

We had a reservation for 7, ordered food and drinks, by 8:45 still did not receive our food. They told us that they accidentally misdelivered the food which is understandable, but after another 30 mins and we still did not get the food..we left. We spent a total of 2 hours here and did not get to eat. read more

Food is okay I really go more for drinks and the beautiful view! Staff is always friendly and nice super helpful when itncomea to the menu or any other questions. I have been here in the morning and night totally different ambiance read more

First time here..... We were kinda confused about where to enter, until we saw the signage outside of the office building.... We took the elevators up and BOOM walked into a little hidden Oasis Surprisingly we were pretty much the only ones there..... at first Inside of the restaurant is rather small, outside (rooftop area) is nice, lots of seating and decent views of downtown Based on the time we arrived we were only allowed to order from the brunch menu and my friend came there with the mind set to order a specific seafood plate that is only offered on the dinner menu......WOMPERS so be mindful of that.. Drinks are good (kinda pricey) Food is good, large portions and reasonably priced (empanadas are 10/10) Staff is friendly Over all this is a nice restaurant with a good ambiance. We would come back here again read more

I would like to complain regarding my interaction with Tess. I called about being overcharged for items I purchased earlier this day, and instead of addressing my concerns professionally, Tess became confrontational and argumentative. She ultimately hung up on me before resolving the issue.I was overcharged by $30 and had the receipt to prove where the mistake was. Rather than hearing me out, she was rude, talked over me and offered 0 solutions. When I called back, Gisselle answered. She was courteous, patient, and accommodating. She also confirmed that Tess was the employee I had spoken with previously. I greatly appreciate Gisselle's professionalism and customer service, which made a significant difference after my initial experience. Ultimately, I was refunded for the overcharge and the issue was resolved. read more

I was so excited to try this place. A rooftop in Livermore!!! Yayyy Located in downtown Livermore which was really nice, you gotta take the elevator up to third floor. Once I got there, I got mixed feelings, the place look nice but kind of not organized. 'Please wait to be seated' sign was in handwritten on a piece of paper...ok I tried not to judge yet, got seated ordered drink&food. My tamarind drink was actually great and my entree as well BUT what turned me off was the sauce container! It was a plastic container... if you want to make it rooftop vibe, why can't you spend couple more dollars on the sauce containers? Later, I noticed they started serving water in plastic cup as well not to mentioned, service was really slow and not professional. Hostess could have smiled more and server could have been faster and more productive. I had to wait for my check for more than 10 mins. Once he got it for me, he stopped at another table to take the order first then dropped it off to me then waited and waited... no where he was found so I decided to walked inside to pay, he said 'thank you, see you' I then replied'I still have to pay' Oh well, while I was up on the rooftop, I saw many restaurants down the street and sure enough, those would be where I would visit next time. FYI, there are free parking garage nearby. read more

My friends and I recently visited this place based around certain reviews because of ambiance, rooftop bar and drinks. However, we came across the most worst experience ever. I ordered a hot toddy, my partner ordered a irish coffee whereas my friend had ordered a margarita. I had a drink that tasted nothing but a lemon hot watered down drink. Nothing boasted anything with a bourbon taste. The WORST tasting drink that's even featured on the menu. On top of that, the Irish coffee was also watered down but the staff was not remotely understanding and I had to argue with the staff that we had a drink that was already paid for that had little to no alcohol at all. By the time we had finished our so-called cocktails, my friend had already closed out the tab for us so she can leave ahead of us while my partner and I had been harassed and asked we pay for our drinks. To our dismay, we had already PAID for our cocktails based upon our friend who had taken a photo of the receipt and told us it was already paid for. Ultimately, the staff was not only condescending, but the hurdle of the bar staff, chased down my partner and I to meet us downstairs after taking the elevator, after we had mentioned multiple times, the drinks were already paid for. The bartender was extremely dismissive but was rude and we were rightfully polite after explaining and arguing we had paid the drinks. Even though we had drinks that were watered down and/or had zero alcohol in our cocktails. Would we ever recommend this place to anyone after the mistreatment we received? NO!! BEWARE! I would never tell friends and/or families to go here. We were being demanded to pay for drinks that were already paid for. I have a receipt for the drinks that were included on the bill. I would never come back for the lack of service, rude behavior of staff and being chased down for something that we have not done as a result of the staff to be so rude to paying customers. NEVER would I come back here again. Even after we had mentioned and told our friend who had paid and had contacted the manager and called what had happened. They were trying to repay us by visiting again with free drinks on the house but I would NEVER consider it after the mistreatment we received whatsoever. This the worst experience I had ever encountered and I would tell you, NEVER COME here. There are far better places to go than this place around this area. The receipt should tell you otherwise that it appears on the actual receipt read more

I don't even want to share this place it's so cool! It is what used to be Aviation. You can see all of Livermore and the sun set from their patio. Second Sunday's they have a pretty good Banda, fun vibe, no drama in the patio. Drinks are pretty good. I've never eaten her but drinks are pretty good. Service is a little slow but it's usually packed to the brim. Make a reservation! read more

Came here last night for date night. Downtown Livermore was a bit busier than I thought as we couldn't find parking. The parking lot down the street was pretty full too. Granted it was a Friday night. It was interesting to find. You walk into what looks like a business/office building and take the elevator to the 3rd floor in order to reach the restaurant. We wanted to sit outside and the rooftop views were nice. They had little tables with fire pits. Those were cute. They service was fine. The waiters were attentive and pleasant. We ordered garlic shrimp as a starter. It was only 5 shrimps with two pieces of bread. I did not taste much garlic. It was in some sauce that tasted like tomato based. It wasn't that great. Felt a bit ripped off for $17. I had the linguine clam pasta which I enjoyed! There were decent amount of clams and the flavor was nice. He had the steak bevette and he said his steak was over cooked. Too chewy. Also we think it. did not have as much flavor as we had hoped. There are only two bathrooms, one for mens and one for womens. Its not stalls. Its a person door. I went to go to the bathroom and there were 4 females waiting in line and I was number 5. Here we are waiting cramped in the corner with their storage chairs and high chairs and guys trying to walk by to their bathroom. It took quite a while before it was my turn. read more

Service was so bad. We never got water when we sat down, and every other table did. We got our food and two rounds of drinks before our appetizer even came so we ended up canceling the appetizer with another server and our server Gisselle didn't come back for another 20 mins. Food was good but server was just not attentive at all. Hoping to give it another shot and have better service next time. At least the view was nice lol. read more

This was a cute little hole in a wall. I got the fish and chips and kt was really good. It was more on the pricey side and the food came pretty quick. The service was really nice as well. read more

Azotea - Wine Bars Near Me - Livermore, California

We were looking for a place for brunch in downtown Livermore and decided to try Azotea. Get ready to be transported-- you take the elevator up to the rooftop and enter a sleak restaurant that opens up to a large patio with lights, umbrellas, fire pits-- and a beautiful view of the Livermore hills!! Nothing like a lovely venue to make you feel special. As for vegetarian options, there are 3 starters including Chile Relleno, Mediterranean Nachos-- we went with chip's & guacamole-- made fresh to order! There are 7 vegetarian brunch options-- I went with the Champagne Omelet -- omelet with champagne, mushrooms, spinach, cheddar, crema, herbs, with house potatoes. You could taste the champagne! Unique and upscale. My husband enjoyed his chilaquiles-- extra extra filling if you add chicken. The staff were friendly and even helped us find a nearby bookstore. Would come back for the view especially! read more

We almost kept walking past this past as I thought it was a tea location. We walked in without reservations with plenty open seats. The roof top is adorable and could be such a great spot! However, they sat us down and after settling down they asked us to move. No problem. We moved tables, settled down and got our menus. 5 minutes later being asked again to move for a reservation in an hour. We came for drinks only, we tried to order a drink on the menu they didn't have it. Bummer. Basic drinks-nothing special. Keep in mind if you're ordering drinks only they will add a large party tax to your bill with 6 people. Will maybe try it out in a year or two to see how they've improved. read more

I experienced a serious and unacceptable billing issue at Azotea in Livermore. The correct total for my order was $60, yet I was initially charged $98. I immediately canceled the transaction due to the incorrect amount. Despite the cancellation, the restaurant processed another charge to my card for $158.70, an amount I did not authorize. Charging a customer after a transaction has been canceled is unacceptable and raises concerns about the restaurant's payment handling and internal controls. I am now forced to dispute this charge with my bank due to the merchant's failure to correct their own error. This experience reflects a lack of accountability and poor financial practices that no customer should have to deal with. Until Azotea addresses these billing issues and demonstrates responsible handling of customer payments, I cannot recommend this establishment. read more

Well, we don't know what the food tastes like and we don't know how the service is because we had a confirmed reservation that was not honored. We were told someone else took our table! Really? Don't assume you have a table even with a reservation! read more

Overall an ok experience! The ambiance was nice and we went for sunset. We were sitting at our table outside for what seemed like a while before any server came around. There were also barely any people there... We ordered drinks first, which were very expensive and took a while to come out, and then we ordered food. The drinks were tasty but also came out like 5 min before the food did. The food was ok, not great for the price, also it was more so lukewarm when we got it. Our server was nice, but he took a while to get our check and ended up forgetting it with which we had to remind him. It happens! But kind of disappointing, as I mentioned before, there were barely any people there to keep track of. read more

Azotea - Fried Chicken Sandwich - Wine Bars Near Me - Livermore, California

First of all, let me say Livermore is hot as hell. They had outdoor seating, but after ten minutes, we asked to come inside. And it was pretty cozy, nothing special. For sure, cooler. Once inside, we ordered our drinks. I wanted the milkyway Expresso, and the bar didn't have certain items, but she did a fantastic job trying, so no complaints. Drinks were all good. The brunch babes didn't complain. The food was just Ok. Nothing wowed me. I enjoyed it, but I won't frequent the place unless I'm meeting folks there. A suggestion would be maybe to extend the menu a bit. Not too many choices. Oh, btw, our server was really cool. read more

Hi everyone If I could give that place a place a 0 I would! On Wednesday night around 11:16 I was inappropriately touched by the owner. On Wednesday they held their pre thanksgiving event and after going there a few times in the past we decided to go! The ambiance was great, everyone was having a great time.I am doing the no alcohol November so I was completely sober so I was having so much fun up until the incident happened! "Mind you his wife was there" I had my best friend and her boyfriend and a friend waiting for me at the bar when I walked up to them and the owner inappropriately grabbed my behind and as it was happening 2 people witnessed! He was so hammered from all alcohol he was consuming "I have proof" and played it off that he didn't know what was going on! One of his waiters tried to cover and say nothing happened, but 3 witnesses saw the whole incident which them broke into a physical fight because my friend was telling him that it was not OK that he had touched me, so he had one friend in red push my friend' and another! Please, if you have any children don't go here! He was not remorseful at all, because later on that night we saw him trying to get into the bar in front called rebel! I filed a police report! And will definitely be seeking legal advice because what he did to me is absolutely disgusting inappropriate and if he did it to me, he could do it to anybody else! read more

Disappointing Experience Despite Great Ambiance We really wanted to love Azotea. The location and rooftop setting in downtown Livermore are fantastic, but unfortunately, the experience fell short on nearly every other front. Service was inattentive throughout our visit. We had to ask multiple times for water refills, and even then, they never came. One of our drinks was brought out still in the can--unopened--with no glass or ice. It felt careless. Our meals came out about 10 minutes apart, so we weren't able to enjoy our food together. On a chilly, windy day, we asked several times to have the outdoor heater turned on and only after repeated reminders did it finally happen. We also ordered grilled jalapeños that never arrived. Food-wise, it was hit or miss. The Arroz con Pollo was underwhelming--lacking both flavor and flair, and to make matters worse, they had run out of the chile relleno, leaving our vegetarian friend to settle for a very average mac and cheese. There's clearly potential here, but the execution--both in service and food--needs serious attention. Until then, I'd recommend trying one of the many other options nearby that pair atmosphere with better hospitality. read more

I tried to make a reservation for 6 people for a Tuesday night - it said no seats available. We decided to show up early to wait for a table and the ENTIRE rooftop was empty except for 2 parties of 2 - so the reservation system is broken. Staff was friendly and seated us quickly & took our drink orders well but the food service was BRUTAL and they charged a 20% large group gratuity. The food was good but took forever to arrive, came out in drips & drabs and nobody had utensils. Two of the meals were missing items and then it took forever to get our leftover boxes and finally had to go inside to settle our bill. The busboy helped us turn on the heater bc it got quite cold - we could hear the gas running but no heat coming out. This location is AMAZING, food is solid (although on an already pricey sandwich a $3 charge for fries feels egregious!) but the servers need training and the staff inside needs to help get the table set and food out promptly. read more

We came here on a Friday night and opted to sit out on the roof top. It was cold but they had a heat lamp (which was a bit weak) to try to keep us warm. It was nice to sit outside and have a nice view of the city. I ordered the north coast brewing but I wasn't a fan. The calamari however was delicious and I love the bits of fried jalapeno. The service was prompt and nice and they were giving out complimentary tequila shots. I would love to come back. read more

Overall the view is what we enjoyed the most. They have happy hour from 4-6pm. The food was okay, chips and Guac was the best thing we got. Ordered 2 espresso martinis and they were okay. Could tell the vodka was well and not the best. The aftertaste was awful. Was told they were the best drink and that they've had good compliments about them. Not true from us two girls who drink them regularly. Tried to make a reservation originally, but was told they were booked. The roof was empty when we arrived and was still empty an hour later. read more

Very good service and food! Great place to have a drink and finger food to chill and enjoy good music

I love a good spot with a view--and Azotea delivers. I had the pleasure of dining here twice in one weekend: dinner on Friday, March 28th, and brunch the following afternoon on Saturday, March 29th. With two visits back-to-back, I aimed to get the full experience--and I'm glad I did. Both meals were fantastic. Let's start with the obvious: the rooftop view is stunning, but that's expected. What stood out beyond the aesthetics was the overall quality of the food, the drinks, and especially the service. Getting to the rooftop is simple--the elevator is clearly marked--but the process of being seated could use refinement. Both times, there was noticeable confusion: some guests seated themselves, while others were directed by a hostess who didn't seem particularly enthusiastic. Still, this small hiccup wasn't significant enough to warrant a deduction in stars. What certainly does warrant five stars is our outstanding server, Natalie. She was warm, witty, and attentive, offering genuinely helpful recommendations. Her presence elevated the entire evening and made the dinner feel especially relaxed and enjoyable. Our brunch server on Saturday was also kind and efficient, though the pace was much faster due to a busier crowd. The drinks menu is a highlight. I started with the El Camino cocktail--spiced with a subtle jalapeño note that brought depth without overpowering. My friend's passionfruit margarita was bright and refreshing. I followed that up with a fruity mezcalita with a Tajín rim (loved it), and ended the night with a raspberry lemon drop--so fresh and vibrant that I ordered it again during brunch the next day. For dinner on Friday, I followed Natalie's recommendations and started with the empanadas, which were flaky, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. She also suggested the freshly fried cod, which I ordered as a sandwich. It was crisp, light, and tasted homemade--right down to the house-made ketchup served with the fries. Brunch was equally impressive. I ordered the house salad, which might honestly be the best house salad I've ever had--even without adding protein. The avocado was incredibly fresh, and the fruit garnish was beautifully presented. My friend enjoyed the French toast, which was hearty and satisfying. Azotea is an ideal spot to catch up with friends over well-crafted drinks and thoughtfully made food. I love a good raspberry lemon drop, and Azotea's is now my favorite in Livermore. I suspect it's because of the freshly squeezed lemon juice, and it tastes like they muddle real raspberries rather than relying on flavored liqueur. The fried cod sandwich is another standout, but the highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly Natalie, who made our Friday night memorable with the most pleasant demeanor imaginable. Thank you, Azotea, for a beautiful rooftop weekend! read more

Celebrating a birthday gone wrong. From the minute we walked in the hostess was cold and unfriendly. Like it was a bother to seat us. The server was trying to rush our order, then apparently she left on a break and no one told us. The Busser took our order. The camarones a la diabla were sour and limey, guacamole bland, skewers over cooked, ribs were drenched in sauce, rice was sticky. We let the busser know about the food concern and nobody came to address the issue, while they sat inside talking. Nothing stood out, not even something as simple as Mac and cheese or fries not to mention the drinks $20 for a watered down cocktail. $200+ for horrible food, worse service ever AND they added $40 gratuity. I don't mind tipping even when it's not a good experience but to be forced to do it, ridiculous. Keep my money, I will take my business elsewhere. The least they could do is keep their restroom clean. Don't waste your time or money. What happened rooftop???? So sad to see it go down like this. It use to be my favorite. We didn't even enjoy the view and intoxicated people were bouncing around everywhere. Do better Azotea. read more

Me and my wife liked the place. Food and drinks were great. Would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the slow service. We were told that there was only 1 bartender (on a busy Saturday). But it won't stop us from going back. We tried the Azotea Margarita, El Camino and Old Fashioned Tequila which were all good. food: Ceviche was awesome, jalapeno dip was good, Empanada is ok, Shrimp a la diabla plate was nice as well. read more
