When I first experienced Beefy's I blew it off, but boy was I wrong... My buddies and I started playing darts last year, but instead of always playing at our houses, we wanted to find a bar with a board. We found Beefy's online and decided to check it out one afternoon. When we drove up, I noticed that the bar is located in a strip mall - Strike 1. We parked and as we were walking up, a bunch of old dudes were hanging out front - Strike 2. When we poked our head inside, it was really quiet and my buddy thought it smelled like a nursing home - Strike 3. We quickly ran to the car and drove away. Flash forward a few months... Another buddy and I joined a local dart league. One of the matches was to be held at Beefy's. I was really dreading going back again, but did so for the sake of the team. This time, I was pleasantly surprised. The bar was actually fairly busy and it had a lot younger crowd (20's - 40's). Beefy's is probably the best place in the area to go play darts. They have 6 or 7 boards set up, each with it's own chalkboard, lighting, and throw line. The boards are also well maintained. The bartenders seemed really friendly and the drinks were cheap. Now that I know the real Beefy's, I'll definitely come back in the future. read more

I only heard about this joint from a friend of mine who originally meant to try to get a job bartending there. He and I'd often pick a single night on a given night just to hop around from city to city on random nights just to get our drink on. When the name of this place came up, we kind of pictured the infamous Blue Oyster bar from the Police Academy films! Finally, one fateful night a few yrs. back, we decided to give it a spin and hot damn was it well worth it. We've gone back quite a few times since, and it's always consistently fun. Mike n' Gina rock ever-so-hard behind th' bar and the local crowd is a nice mix of th' old and the young which is how it oughtta be. If you really like to toss darts, this place is definitely for you! read more

Beefy's Cabin is just a fun place! Great drinks, friendly staff and owner and one of the best places to play darts I have ever seen. Yes it is a dive bar, but it is by far one of the best dive bars I have ever seen. Go there to relax and just have fun! Nothing frilly about this place, just a good comfortable friendly place. If I lived in the area it would become my default pub. read more

Friendly neighborhood bar. Cash only. There are a few pool tables and dart boards. The place is very convenient and doesn't seem to attract too much attention from outside. It is in a crappy strip mall, but don't let the outside fool you. It is worth a visit. read more

Beefy's Cabin - Pool tables - Dive Bars Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I love this bar, and the staff with all of my heart. Ok, maybe thats too much, buut they really are the best, and the only reason I go there. Friendly atmosphere, nice tracks on the Juke, and really cozy. I had been patroning since it was previously "Scotty's", and nothing changed but the name, and the fact you can't smoke inside anymore. I reccomend Gina, the short and happy go lucky gal behind the bar. Tell her "Page" sent ya! I'd give a 5 star review, IF they took credit cards... read more

While it's categorized as a dive bar, I find this spot to be more a friendly neighborhood bar. Local folks, darts, pool table and awesome staff and owner. You are treated well here and the crowd is friendly. read more

This is the friendliest, funnest bar I ever been to! My husband has been going there for about 15 years now, and i started patronizing it after meeting him about 3 years ago. The bartenders are always soooooo awesome, friendly, and funny! Awesome place to throw darts, shoot some pool, or just hook up with friends for a few drinks. The owners are wonderful people and make this place feel like your second home! read more

This is probably one of my favorite bars to go to when I want to have a good kick back time with my buds. The first time I went I thought we would be out soon... maybe within the hour but we ended up staying the whole night. The bartenders are really nice and on most nights I actually see them hanging out there(.. on their days off) so we end up getting to know them better. It's not a huge bar but it is a friendly one. The regulars make you feel at home and I have yet to see a fight. They have dart and pool tournaments which is interesting to watch and sometimes even beer pong! I actually like that the bar is not in the best location (for it is hidden within the mini shopping center) that way it's not as crowded so most of the faces you see there are familiar. read more

Great dive bar! Cash only with decent prices, two pool tables, 5+ dart boards, and cups & dice on request. You can bring your own food or order it and have it delivered there! read more

The only reasons this place loses a star for me is that unless you come here right before a dart tournament you have to play on old deformed dart boards, the second reason is that they don't play music in between jukebox selections. Every bar should have music playing regardless of whether the patrons want to pay $1.00 for each 2-5 minute song or not. I think the beer prices are great $5/$6, pitchers $17 aren't available everywhere and it's a good way to drink with a reasonable tab. I came here to play darts on a REAL (non-electronic/plastic) dart board and they have 5 dart boards which is amazing. There aren't many places in the Bay Area or even in California with real dart boards. If you're looking for a relaxed environment, uncrowded, and calmer environment, this is the place. I gave this place a chance simply on the reviews provided by yelp, my first instinct was "Beefy's Cabin"?? What a strange name. What am I getting myself into? The place looks run down and divey from the outside and it's situated next door to a sketchy massage parlor in an older style strip mall. However, it is clean on the inside and it doesn't seem like a place that gets a lot of action which is nice when I just want to hang out and play darts with some friends. read more

I love this bar. I come here all the time to play darts. However, don't come on Thursday or Saturday if you want to play as it is league night read more

Awesome dart boards. Super friendly staff and cheap beers. What more could you ask for? Love this place. It's super chill and they have 5 dart boards and two pool tables. Cash only though so make sure to pull cash before you come. read more

it's a bar. a dive bar. we came here after work just to hang out and grab some drinks. a lot of dart boards. two pool tables. so there was a lot of fun to be had. the ambiance doesn't feel like a dive bar in the mission. it's more like a big room with very little decoration. not bad thing though. read more

One of the best dive bars I have been to. Very laid back and the bartender was really nice. Not to mention drinks are a lot cheaper than any other bar or restaraunt in the area. They have darts, dice, and photo hunt (on the gaming computer) for those of you who have played. BEST game ever. Will be back here. read more

I've only been to this bar once but I had a great time! Would definitely come back here again; especially since they have free pool and darts. Inexpensive drinks, the crowd is typical of a dive bar but if you're okay with that, then this place is perfect! read more

I've met up with friends a couple of times at Beefy's it is super chill neighborhood joint with darts and pool. Clean, relaxed, fun environment. Drink prices are very reasonable. Both times I've been here Kayla was bartending. She is a hoot. Super friendly bartender with a witty sense of humor. Oh and free pool today! Bonus!!! read more

Dive bar. Don't expect something else. Has multiple independent TVs and full bar. Don't bring a date unless he/she specifically asks for a dive bar. Crowd matches your dive bar expectation. read more

I was at this place with our company engineers on 7/27/2012. We purchased drinks and snacks which we brough with us. I had one beer and went to the mens restroom which was dirty and smelling. I tried to open the door but could not get it open as the door was stuck. I banged hard at the door shouting Please HELP, HELP for about 2 minutes and nearly passed out as I could not breath and started sweating. A guy and bar lady came and kicked the door and told me door was stuck due to weather. We were about 20 engineers trying to have a good time but I did not have a good time at this place. read more

Great neighborhood bar! Dropped in on New Year's Day to catch some football. Easy going, local crowd buying house rounds to ease the pain induced from the night before. I've lived in the neighborhood for decades and have seen this location change from Welshman Arms to Scotty's Pub to Beefy's Cabin. I had not been into Beefy's before but decided to give it a try. Good people, Good prices, Pool, and darts. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had to come here once i saw the name. I love dive bars with funny, clever names. We just stopped in for a quick drink and the bartendress was nice. The bar was a bit oddly set up for an afternoon hangout, but I can see that if you love to play darts that this would be your heaven. Lots of boards, lots of space. I am rarely in this area and probably won't be back, but the bar definitely served its purpose: immediate drink. read more

This is and was my favorite place to hang out. The darts rocked the jukebox was cool. Peter is the man. I miss this place but I have been balled and chained. Miss it bad. read more

BC is what it is. Fun peeps, intimate, full of alcholhol and is DART centric. Good competition and a fun Friday night Chicago dart tourney. If I am down in SV on a Friday night, I stop in. So should you! read more

Came here for a friend's weekly pool tournament. It's a pretty decent dive bar. Cheap drinks and clean. The workers and patrons are very friendly. They only accept cash. read more

Yelp says its a dive bar and it lives up to that. If your into darts, seems like this is the place to hang out! 5 dart boards all with 3-4 people playing. Great ice cold beer! Depending on your definition of a "dive bar" this place may or may not be a great place for you. Our group of 4 Doug the place! read more

Great little bar! I wouldn't quite call it a dive as the crowd doesn't quite fit the criteria of a dive bar. I moved into the neighborhood maybe 9 months ago and it's become an all-time favorite bar. Totally cool locals and bartenders. I almost feel bad leaving a good review because this place should probably stay a local secret. read more

My favorite dive bar. Pete owns it and runs it like it reflects on him personally. The bartenders are all friendly and have customer service #1 on their minds. The patrons are all well-behaved. read more

Ok, it is a little hole in the wall. But there are lots of real dart boards which are almost impossible to find nowadays. Pool tables as well. The owner and staff are courteous and the juke box has some of the funniest music I've ever heard. None of which I can repeat here! There are league dart nights (Monday & Thursday) as well as open tournaments on Saturdays. Ask the bartender for darts and aiming fluid. Yeah, it's a dive bar. But they know your name here! Lots of TV's for sports watching. Not so loud you can't hear your friends. read more

Seems like a cool bar for locals. I'm just visiting, but the bar has what I'm looking for: a table in the corner to drink a beer, listen to the tunes, and people watch. Nice spot to unwind, definitely divey, and no food. My pint of Lagunitas was $5, which I gather is a good price for the south bay. If I lived here, I'd probably come here sit at the bar and talk to the locals a few nights a week. read more

My favorite local bar! All the bartenders are GREAT and very friendly (Michelle, Angelica, Monique). A lot of loyal regulars who are also very welcoming. I always intend on going in for a quick game of pool and beer but always end up hanging out longer. Free darts, cheap pool (free on Sundays) and drinks and free food on Sundays! Can't beat any of this. Peter (the owner) is usually there too but he is also very friendly and is great at remembering everyone. read more

Beefy's Cabin is exactly what you'd expect it to be. It's a dive bar, with decent prices, friendly staff (for Sunnyvale that is always a challenge), and pool tables. Each visit was consistently pleasant, and the bartenders have always been engaging, funny and helpful. Beefy's is the legitimately the best true bar in Sunnyvale. read more

Great place to hang out, watch football, baseball, soccer or any other sport. Owners are great people and actually care about their patrons. Great dart bar too. read more

Beefy's is the spot....Great bartenders, friendly crowd. Perfect place to go and have a beer or two. Locals and staff make everyone feel like a regular. read more

I love to sit knee deep in my drink where noone will bug me or ask for my number or dumb things like that. After the closure/roof cave-in of Ugly's/alibi, this is my place. The new addition of Jeannie has, without a doubt, added to the charm of this classic dive bar. average drinks, good local flair. read more

Chill spot to bring good friends and meet new ones!!! It's like the Cheers of today!!! You won't regret it!

3.5 stars. Rounding up because i want to support local dive bars. Came searching for happy hour but they didn't have one. There wasn't really anyone else when we came so the drinks were served up pretty quickly. The drinks were solid...can't complain. read more

A quality dive bar. It felt like a lot of people were regulars, but everyone was super friendly. Shot a few games of pool and threw some darts with a small group of friends. Small but solid draft beer list. Would definitely be back. read more

Great little dive bar with free darts. Service is good

I found Beefy's while on a run around my new neighborhood. I saw it - thought I would check it out - and stayed for 5 hours, and forgot about the run. IMO This is not a dive bar (but opinions are like assholes - everyone has one) - it's a great locals bar with real people having real conversations. Everyone is welcome and treated as family. If you love darts and pool it's ideal for you. read more

one of my favorite dive bars!!! this little place is hidden off of el camino on grape avenue.. it's a small dive bar that only takes cash. they have fat tire on tap!! pitchers are cheap but they have a limited selection of liquor. there are pool tables and darts you can play to keep your drunken self occupied. music is playing all the time from the internet jukebox! definitely a place to check out if you like dive bars! watch out for the creepy indian guys who will flash you their dicks!!! read more

This place might as well be my living room. Met some strangers in a parking lot one night and they told me they were heading to Beefy's. It's about a block from my house but I'd never been. They asked me to join them and now I have trouble going anywhere else. The staff is friendly and outgoing, as is the owner. They treated me like they'd known me for years, better yet they treated me like family. The clientele is incredibly diverse and makes for great conversations. Beefy's draws a motley of folks from a variety of professions, transplants and natives. I have learned so much about the history of the community from some of the patrons. Anyways, getting to business: The beer is served cold and the darts get serious. The pint glasses always have a little ice around the rim. The restrooms are kept clean. And finally it's just off the beaten path enough to make you feel like you found something special. read more
