    At $5 a special slice, I decided to stop in this pizza joint after attending a festival nearby. The solo bartender and waiter was patient as I decided what to order. I chose the special slice today - pepperoni, olives, and garlic in traditional marinara type sauce and cheese. I paired that with a can of Coke. Mid-day, this place wasn't very busy. There were plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, benches, and bar seats to choose from for seating. And although a football game was on the tvs above the bar, the noise level was decent. The pizza was ready quickly and greasy perfectly seasoned deliciousness! $9.25 for the whole shabang, not bad.

    Two individual slices and an American IPA.

    It was a ghost town on a Tuesday night. Looked like someone with a mental illness had been tasked with redecorating. What happened to this place?, I thought. (Figured out later that it's changed owners again.) I ordered a The House IPA and a slice of pepperoni. Totally what I wanted. It hit the spot. I wanted a second of both but staff was socializing, so I had to wait. Once I drained my beer, staff was there immediately to check on me. Second round delivered, consumed, and then I was on my way. I miss Bobby G's from back in the day: put together, crowded, good eats and drinks. I'm getting old. But the pepperoni slice was fire. And they got a good tip.

    Second time at Bobby G's. First time was December for concert at UC theater as was this latest visit (Exodus!!!). Very close to theater, welcoming and friendly staff. Buddy ordered large pizza with salami, olives, and Italian sausage. Came out amazing with excellent crust that was perfect throughout. Was a bit big for two of us but plan was to save half for the three hour drive home to Fresno. As it would happen, I have a leg in a brace and use a wheelchair as well as crutches and the staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Often available in case I needed a helping hand. Great beer selection as well. Frankly, I'm trying to think up an excuse to come back even without a concert there!

    Came for their wednesday night trivia with some friends and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was homey and friendly and the food and beverages were solid. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a laid back place to chill.

    Ambience is to be expected for a pub next to a music venue, lively and fun they were playing sports when my wife and I attended. The brews are great. I had the passion of the fruit super delicious. Excellent pour. However, the food was truly abysmal. My wife got the basil pesto gnocchi, and I got a simple chicken Alfredo. Both of our dishes were around $17/18after we added chicken. Which the chicken was your typical Sysco food systems pre-cut chicken that was terribly, terribly dry and unseasoned. The pasta was overcooked and Alfredo sauce tasted more like pasta water than Alfredo. Great staff, other patrons were wonderful, just truly terrible food. However, some of the pizzas looked good that others got around us, but unfortunately, we won't be able to try it on this visit.

    Thank you, Bobby G's , for the pizza & space to crochet/knit/connect with new East Bay friends!

    Breadsticks!

    This place is super fun! They have so many special events almost each and every evening (BINGO, karaoke, etc.), but what you really have to come for is TRIVIA NIGHT on Wednesdays. Free to play, and it's super clever and well done the way the rounds work. Make sure you have a good team name. And get there early because it fills up before the game starts at 7. Pizza is good but make sure you get the stuffed breadsticks which are AMAZING. I also love the Bobby G's salad.

    pleasantly surprised about the taste! not at all greasy, excessively cheesy, or oily. tasted very comforting and seasoning was good. price was $17 before tax which isn't horrible. also love how much the place hosts events. haven't gone to any yet but definitely plan to :)

    Ham & Gruyere Panini
    Ji S.

    Bobby G's looks like a casual fun place to have a meal with friends and family. The menu is pretty basic Italian foods you would expect at a casual dining restaurant. It has tv's around to watch a game and enjoy your food. For me, the food was just ok. I did not really enjoy my food. I ordered the chicken Parmigiana, stuffed breadsticks, and the Ham & Gruyere Panini. The best out of the 3 was the panini. It had thick slices of ham and crisp bread. It was a little dry and could have used more of the garlic aioli. The Chicken Parmigiana looked great with a good sized cutlet but it just lacked in flavor. As for the breadsticks, it looked great but once again lacked in flavor. I love stuffed breadsticks or stuffed crust but this was just bad. It was too much bread versus stuffing and the cheese had no flavor. TBH, Pizza Hut's stuffed crust was far superior to what I ordered here. It also did not help that this was the last to be served to us despite it being a "starter." I asked about it after having been served the main dishes and although they said that it sometimes takes a while, I frankly think that they simply forgot. If the STARTER takes that long, first they should inform the customer upon ordering AND they should perhaps ask if they want their main courses first AND they should perhaps not list it as a STARTER. The staff were all very friendly but just lacking in service. No one checks on you nor provide refills on drinks. It was more self service in that I had to repeatedly go up to the bar for help. Overall, the food was barely ok and the non-existent service, I would not come back here.

    How's the gluten free pizza?

    Sorry for the late reply but our gluten free pizza is really good. We have fresh dough delivered everyday for it. Most restaurants opt to use pre made pizza crust to save on labor and cost and store it in freezers in case they get few orders per day… Read more

I've never had service like this from any bar. Also double checked my pizza to make sure everything was right before handing it to me. Most people couldn't care less. The pizza was also remarkably delicious and reminded me of my experience 20 years ago at a Point Reyes pizza joint where they also used a brick hearth. It's so difficult to find this flavor and has always been just a minute walk from the office. I'm so glad I walked in today and found this place.

I'm sure it's more of a nighttime experience. Firstly, I took advantage of the speakeasy beer option, which is hidden in the back of the bar. It's self serve with a nice selection. You're given a card that allows you to pour what you want. For food, I did a shrimp and a lamb, yes, I said lamb, taco. Both were great. The lamb was surprisingly great as a taco meat. Very rich and tender with warm, Indian type spices. I finished it off with a Pimm's cocktail from their happy hour menu made with a ginger syrup. Delicious. The bartender/server, Christine, was excellent. She really made me feel comfortable here. As I said, I feel like this is more of a nighttime place, and my review is for afternoon.

There is a hidden, speakeasy style door that leads to the restrooms and bar taps tucked in the back, which adds to the overall experience. We stuck with cocktails, and they were strong and alcohol forward. We tried the Sipping Into Darkness and the Cane and Cacao, both well made with bold flavors. These are not light, overly sweet drinks, and may not be for everyone. Overall, a unique spot that stands out for its concept, but not necessarily somewhere I would go out of my way to return to.

I went to see the visual kei, Japanese rock band, JILUKA, here with my boyfriend and we lined up beforehand for VIP. The staff walked out, showed us the rules for the VIP that was printed on a piece of paper and explained it to us too, they walked down the line to scan us in as well. Venue itself is pretty neat. The front part is a bar area with lots of tables and seating and outdoor seating as well. Since it was before the concert, we were able to enjoy some food and drinks from the bar and kitchen. It was also during their Happy Hour too which was great. My boyfriend got a drink (not sure what it was, but it was refreshing and citrus tasting?) and we shared a Bavarian soft pretzel with mustard and we got the white cheddar dipping sauce added on for a nominal fee. One of the best pretzels that I've ever had! Deliciously soft interior, nice chew to the texture of the exterior. Comes out hot, warm and delicious. Great on it's own, but great with the sauces too. Perfect dash of the coarse salts on it. I'd get this again for sure and would like to one day order more from their menu. The live house music area is in the back in a separate room. Restrooms were clean too. Enough space for the bands to sell their merch and do a meet and greet. Wasn't a huge venue and insane turn out, but it fit the crowd and I liked how intimate setting was. I was around 3-4 rows from the front and even with a mosh pit and wall of death, I was able to shift around and see the band more clearly. Easy visibility no matter where I was shifted around. Lighting was pretty good and made it easy to take pictures and video. I think the vocals were a bit more muffled than the rest of the band members playing, but that might just be the set up more than anything. Of all the venues I stopped by for the week, this had the most approachable and friendly staff. Greeted going and as we were leaving too. I didn't overheat at this one either, so the AC was A+!!

Now it's a hundred years later, and it was my first time back. Seriously. I probably thought how could they could top the Borneo Fogcutter? They don't try.
