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.

Whether I'm listening to good music, shooting a game of pool, or hanging out with friends on the spacious, shaded private patio out back, this place always delivers a great experience. The staff is fantastic, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the Chef is outstanding! You can tell there's genuine pride in what they do, and that keeps me coming back. And if you're looking for more than just great food and a chill atmosphere, they also host live events, including an incredible Old School R&B night with some hip-hop mixed in. Great music, great vibes, great people--it's the kind of place where you can come in to relax and end up staying for the whole evening! After seven years of visiting, I can confidently say this is my spot in Concord. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're definitely missing out. Come for the food, stay for the music, atmosphere, and good vibes

Tonight my friend and I visited Vinne's Bar in Concord, and our experience with security was deeply…read moreupsetting. During the security screening, our bags were searched and we were patted down, which we understand may be standard procedure. However, the security guard went far beyond what we considered appropriate by squeezing our breasts during the pat-down. We immediately objected and made it clear that we were uncomfortable and felt violated. The guard identified himself as "Natty Martinez" (although we are not sure whether that was his real name). After the incident, we watched other patrons entering the bar and did not observe anyone else being subjected to the same level of physical contact. That left us feeling as though we had been singled out and treated differently. No one should expect to be touched in such an invasive manner simply for entering a bar. Security screenings can be conducted professionally and respectfully. This experience was humiliating, unnecessary, and completely ruined our evening. I hope management takes this complaint seriously, reviews any available security footage, and ensures that all security staff are properly trained on appropriate search procedures and respectful treatment of customers.

We originally discovered Hop Grenade when we moved to the neighborhood. As craft beer lovers,…read morefinding a spot within walking distance felt like hitting the jackpot. What started as a convenient local hangout has become one of our favorite places over the last three years. Hop Grenade has truly become a second home. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. We love seeing familiar faces and catching up with the regulars. It has such a great community feel that can be hard to find these days. The beer selection is hands down one of the best around, and the prices are hard to beat. I also love that they've expanded their offerings to include wine and wine-based cocktails, which means there's something for everyone. The food is great too! We always look forward to Wing Wednesday, and the flatbreads are one of our go-to orders. One of our favorite things about Hop Grenade is bringing friends and family here when they're visiting from out of town. We recently took some wedding guests to the Thursday night music and market event, and they absolutely loved it. One of them even joked that he was ready to move here after experiencing the atmosphere. That's the kind of place Hop Grenade is...it makes people feel welcome and part of the community right away. Because Hop Grenade has been such a big part of our lives, booking the Tap Bus for our wedding was a no-brainer. It felt special to incorporate something so personal to us into our big day. For those who don't know, Hop Grenade has an awesome vintage VW bus outfitted with taps. Not only did it make for a unique and fun focal point at our wedding, but it also served some of the best beer, cider, seltzer, and wine our guests could ask for. We received so many compliments throughout the night about both the Tap Bus and the drink selection. Justin and his team were fantastic to work with from start to finish and helped make our wedding even more memorable. Whether you're stopping by for a drink, grabbing some food, attending one of their community events, or looking for a unique beverage service for an event, Hop Grenade delivers every time. We're lucky to have them in our community and can't recommend them enough.

I guess I need to put my review in since this gem I was trying to keep to myself has done nothing…read morebut have me crave their menu weekly lol. I'm afraid of sharing their specials that the place will start getting so packed where we can't get a table anymore lol but here it goes. I have came to the Hop Grenade for years and they have never disappointed. Their beers are delicious and always have a great menu to choose from. They have clean accessible bathrooms and parking is hit and miss since it is in the middle of downtown. They do allow dogs but only outside not inside. So they have their wing special on Wednesday's which is the big secret I didn't want to share. One because their wings are the best wings I've ever had. On top of that their flatbread pizza is amazing as well. Like they make their own dough or something. But this is the brewery to hit up if you want some delicious food and great beer. Put it this way, for me the wings and pizza are that good where I order take out lol. Oh ya and their service is top notch.

My review is for two reasons:…read more 1. I visited with my Dad because he loves beer (and he loved the IPA - cannot recall the specific one - on a late afternoon when I had some work to do.

They made a gift card donation to California Bully Rescue that I had reached out to them as a request for an auction. Most establishments ignored my outreach and I was really grateful for their contribution and acknowledgement. We will definitely be back.

This seemed like a spot where parents take their kids and don't attend to them very well. But I can't blame the establishment for that, I was more annoyed at my date for picking this spot. That and well he didn't ask if I drank beer, which I don't! That and they don't serve any food here outside of the food truck. So as a date spot, I do not recommend.

The food came out and it was great , we tried the pizza, the ahi tuna nachos, and the wings . Everything was great. Good sports bar with a ton of TV's definitely recommend to sit at the bar for HH

I hate to write a negative review. I didn't even get a chance to eat…read more My partner and I went here at 4:30ish pm on Sunday for a nice early dinner. A rush of people had left the restaurant at the same time because a sports game ended. The time to get seated was incredibly short, taking less than 5 minutes for us two. Once seated the hostess did not offer us anything, instead saying someone else would come help us and she hurried off. We sat for over twenty minutes without a single server speaking to us. In that time we had four separate parties of 1-4 all be seated around us. They all were given drinks either by hosts or servers. Two of them had orders taken. We were not asked how we were. Even after activating the "need waiter" mode on the tablet every single server ignored us. I know mistakes happen, a rush had ended and we may have been lost in the shuffle. Every server who looked at us and the tablet could have checked in. It was clearly bright and alerting. The restaurant wasn't incredibly busy, as our section was mostly empty when we entered. As we were getting up one of the servers looked at both of us, the alerting tablet on the table, and then towards the table next to us and asked if they needed help. I have to mention that all the people who were served before us were white. Most of their servers were. The hostess who sat us down also was. We are an interracial couple. I am very visibly middle eastern. It felt incredibly targeted. We would tip as much as any other party. We wouldn't treat the staff poorly. All we did was have a brown guy at the table. When we went to hand our menus and unused utensils back to the hosts the only host who showed any concern and attempted to help wasn't white. She offered to get us reseated and immediately helped. Considering the racist treatment towards us by the other staff we declined. We left promptly. I would love for someone from the management team to reach out and look at any footage of the incident to clarify what might've happened. Our reservation at check in was under my partners name and placed at 4:34pm.

This past weekend I got a chance to try it with my boyfriend, who's already had it once before. We decided to go in around 8pm on a Saturday. We attempted to call beforehand to check in with how busy the restaurant was as we were both starving and wanted food asap! We weren't able to get past their automated answer choices, so we decided to take a risk and go in. Upon arrival, it was a joy to see that there was not many people eating as well as no waitlist to be seated. We got seated immediately by what seems to be the restaurant manager. He was nice and made us feel welcome. Our server for the night whom I forgot the name of, was sweet and responsive to our needs as well! We were pleasantly surprised by how empty the restaurant was. We both ordered burgers, which my bf had recommended to me based on the one other time he came. Our food came out so quickly, I would say just around 10 minutes! I got their "Eureka! American" with cheddar cheese rather than swiss. Oh my gosh, it was one of the best burgers I've had! It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. My bf got the Bacon Jalapeño Jam Burger which he liked, but said the bread was almost too sweet for his liking. It's also worth noting that their bathrooms were super clean and taken care of, which is usually not the case at these type of restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try their truffle fries next! I definitely wish I tried them that night but it just gives me an excuse to come back!

Cocina Hijole Maria is located at a spot off Colfax in Concord Downtown adjacent area, is a pretty…read morewell known spot for restaurants as this particular location has changed quite a few times over the years. One of the earliest spots was a sushi place, but since then have been basically South American cuisine in all the follow-up versions prior to this current form. Was here on a Tuesday around the corner waiting for something else to finish so I decided to pop in to try them out as I had not yet. The place is pretty small, but that's been true ever since its earliest form as a restaurant here. What is different now compared to its original form way back when is that there is a place to sit next to the restaurant now, which previous places kind had, but were not committed to it, while this place seems to be committed to it so that's a plus. Service was okay for the most part. Wasn't good, wasn't bad. Just was. They were certainly much more focused with the people at the counter they were chatting with than to me, but it's fine I just wanted food that day so sort of worked out. Prices of everything was alright. Considering that there's a huge amount of options in this area just a walk away, or a 2-3 min drive away, it's definitely not cheaper than those other spots. So how's the food? Honestly, it was incredibly mid, and really tried to give it as much of a benefit of a doubt as I could, but these were not tasty tacos at all. The chicken was chewy, tasted funny, and just not good. The other tacos were just okay, at least they didn't taste like they were on the line of something going on with the meat, but just not flavorful enough, and really bland for tacos. Even the one with all the visually cool pickled garnishes was a disappointment. Honestly, not sure I would ever go back again, it just wasn't it for me as again, there's so many more places in this area that will serve similar cuisines, including the birria aspect of it, that you don't have to just go to this one spot for it.

Blue neon arches, a huge underwater mural, plush chairs and low tables along the back wall. Worth the detour. Chris was working the bar on his second day and greeted us like a regular. I skipped my usual Manhattan and went with the Smoke Break, bourbon with bitters, smoke and black cherry. He nailed it. That is the one I would order again. Kudos to Chris for making the smoke linger and make the drink taste fantastic. I had this one in Oregon and it was cool but Chris did a better job with his method that really did serious justice to the name. My wife wanted the Cucumber Cooler, but they were out of cucumber. She pivoted to Sauvignon Blanc, and they were out of that too. The wine list runs four whites and four reds, so there is not much room to maneuver if the cocktails are not your thing. Chris read the situation, offered up a Paper Airplane since she wanted something refreshing, and put it on the house. Classic good bartending. It was louder than expected for how few people were in the room. On a Saturday with a DJ, music and dancing, I would guess the volume gets close to a rave. Go Tuesday or Wednesday if you want to hear the person across from you, and you will probably catch them fully stocked. My guess is weekends clean them out. Cocktails run 16 to 18 dollars. There is also a 300 dollar tequila and cognac number called La Maria served in a glass rimmed with gold dust, if you have something to celebrate. Happy hour is Tuesday through Friday, 3 to 5. They are on the ground floor of the Waymark apartments at 121 Pringle Ave with a small patio out front and heaters. Great spot to hang out and talk with friends, and a good pre dinner or post dinner stop rather than a destination for the whole night. When those doors shut you are transported somewhere neat. I would go again.
