Stopped by Bourbon Pear in Livermore and had a fantastic meal. We started with garlic fries (you really can never go wrong with them--crispy, garlicky, and addictive) and the pear quesadillas. The quesadillas were a delightful surprise: the sweet, juicy pear paired with melty cheese created a lovely sweet‑and‑savory contrast that felt creative and completely satisfying. It was a very busy Sunday but the server made sure everyone was well taken care of. For mains we had the fried catfish with hush puppies -- the hush puppies absolutely stole the show with a crunchy exterior and tender, flavorful interior. The blackened salmon was reliably excellent: perfectly seasoned, nicely charred on the outside and moist inside -- a safe bet that delivered. My cousin's chicken was a hit as well. Overall I loved the meal and the inventive flavors; I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended. read more

I can't even think of one slightly negative thing to say about The Bourbon Pear. Everything from the food, to the cocktails, to the service and the atmosphere are all awesome. Get the shrimp & grits! read more

Initially drawn in by their cocktail menu because a pear marg sounded DELISH, however I'm opting to come back next time to get the drink experience! Cajun Chicken Pasta (4/5): I enjoyed the flavor + mild spice that came with this dish. Portion was fairly generous, lots of meat and was delicious to go. Only downside is how fast it got cold. Not sure what factors played into it, but it took a good 2 minutes for the dish to lose its heat. Otherwise, it was really yummy the first two bites. New York Steak French Dip (4/5): Was most excited to try this. I was glad the bread wasn't hard and the steak wasn't dry. I do wish there was a little *something* extra in this sandwich itself - Onions, maybe? It felt a little bit plain even with the au jus and horseradish. The fries were good, though, and the horseradish def elevated the sandwich. Our waiters/waitresses were very kind and got us serving plates + separate au jus without asking - Thank you for being attentive! Really appreciated it. The indoor decor was also adorable and I could totally see myself coming back for a celebratory dinner.. And finally get to try the pear cocktails. read more

Bourbon pear has a cool vibe and every time I come here it is crowded! I think it is a pricey place for casual dinner and drinks so make sure you are ready for over $100 per person evening. I have to say the food is pretty decent. They do not have many healthy options here so get ready for calorie splurge! Overall the vibe is ok... I mean it would be better if they have good music or some kind of atmosphere like Locanda has a dj. read more

Late afternoon, too late for lunch (kinda) too early for dinner (kinda) 4:15pm I say kinda because they still service everything you want. Service.. the bartender gave us menus took our order and served them alll with a beautiful smile. Food. OMG the best French Dip the ever had. Not your then sliced meat. But thick slices and very tender. All was excellent thanks to all that made it possible. Great team at Bourbon Pear, in Livermore read more

We were excited to try out the new Worth Group Restaurant as Peasant & the Pear in Danville is a favorite, so we stopped by Bourbon Pear for lunch Saturday afternoon. We were seated quickly and although there were some familiar items on the menu, we decided to try all "new" items (to us) which were: * Barrel Aged Manhattan ($24) * Potato Skins - Cheddar-jack cheese, bacon, sour cream ($16) * Cajun Chicken Pasta - Linguini garlic, tomatoes, cajun-cream sauce (24) * Bourbon Chicken - Mushroom-garlic cream sauce, mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach ($26) Cocktail and appetizer came out quickly - can't go wrong with a Manhattan but the potato skins were dry and not very good even smothered in sour cream Entrees came out soon after and we have mixed feelings... The Cajun chicken pasta was creamy but there was no spice or even a little heat - like where is the cajun part? The chicken was also cut into cubes but the cook on it was inconsistent - some pieces were perfect, and other pieces were very chewy, but the tomatoes were good. The bourbon chicken dish sauce was good but again the chicken fell short - was dry and chewy with no flavor. It may have been better if the chicken was more seasoned and/or charred and the dish was plated separately since it was all thrown together in one big bowl. Our server was friendly but slowwwww and rarely checked in with us so had to flag her down multiple times for water refills, dessert order and check. Overall, we would go back and give it another try as we know other dishes are good (i.e.: pear quesadilla, burgers, smoked chicken salad sandwich, and more) so hoping they get the kinks worked out soon and can update our review! read more

Great service, good And ambiance was nice. Seating does feel like you sitting on top of the next table or your having dinner with strangers a bit lol but would recommend the food And service is great we'll be back read more

The peartini, seriously just wow! It was so delicious, after 1 sip I knew I would need another. I highly recommend this cocktail and it definitely started out our lunch on a high note. I had the Grand Mere sandwich paired with garlic truffle fries and it was wonderful. It is a very elevated sandwich that really hits the mark. The chicken is moist and flavorful. The brie cheese and pears make the sandwich unique. I would definitely order this again! The brussel sprouts were good! In my opinion they could've used a vinaigrette for a little more tangy flavor. Overall this is a great spot that I recommend! read more

Tried the blt and tomato soup. The blt was everything you want it to be- buttery and crunchy bread, generous serving of bacon, fresh ingredients. Not trying to push the envelope or do anything edgy, just a simple entree done well. Fries were skinny and crispy. Tomato soup was very flavorful and thoroughly salted. Really good on its own or with the sandwich. read more

Atmosphere is good, it's a small restaurant, it was loud. Food is excellent as usual for one of Rodney's diners! I got a casa azul paloma that cost me $32! Will not make that mistake anymore!! My wife got the salmon and loved it, especially the cauliflower risotto! I had the braised short ribs and that was delicious! Great waiter Joseph took care of us! Kind of a weak pour on my $15 port. That's my only gripe! read more

Newly established on 1st street, but not new to industry as this is another sister restaurant to the Worth Group's portfolio. I had high hopes for this place as they call themselves Bourbon and have been established in the restaurant industry for a while. Stopped by without reservations on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and was seated promptly. They do ask if you want a drink menu before sitting you. I could see that the bar was stocked pretty well up. They don't have a whisky or alcohol bible, but there is a list on the back of the drink menu in super small, almost fine print like. It is super hard to read, but the prices are on there. Some details are missing like the year of certain bourbons. I skipped getting a pour but opted for one of those cocktails instead. Gold Rush Whiskey Sour (17) was god awfully sweet. Our waiter never inquired about the drinks and it was just too much honey. You could tell that the bar tender was new and I would of been better off drinking water. For food: Cast Iron Mexican White Prawns (22) - There were about 5 pawns and the juices all sat on top of two pieces of toast which was completely soggy and just soaking it all up. Overly tart with citrus and the shrimps were barely translucent and not even a char, especially since it's came in a cast iron skillet and came out lukewarm. I would pass on this at that price. Certified Angus New York Steak (37) - The menu doesn't say, but the steak is a 10oz. It was tough and I had to send it back because I ordered in medium rare and it came rare. I get that the steak was thicker in the center compared to the sides but it was executed poorly. The fries that came on the side was soggy and wasn't crispy at all. I sent the steak back and a manager brought me a tomato soup to hold me over while they remade my steak. The second steak was way thinner and cooked to medium, but at this point, I was starving and saw no reason to send it back. The arugula that comes with the steak is toss with a balsamic as I was told, but it tasted like it was DROWNED in salt. There is a lot of work to be done in my opinion for their kitchen and their bar. Maybe in a few more months, it will be more consistent but the quality wasn't there for me. I was really excited about this coming to town, but it's a hard pass for me. read more

So excited to try this place. We came here when it was Clucked and then Fat chance and unfortunately, neither one of those places stuck so we're hopeful for this place. They have a very good assortment of food menu items. Our server was nice and helpful but not very talkative. We didn't mind because he was efficient so it was fine. I tried the prickly pear, margarita, and we had the Cobb salad the shrimp salad, the green chili burger and the BLT. All were tasty but each had their own little issues with, and I'm just gonna attribute that to it being still a relatively new place. The margarita was really good no issues. The Cobb salad was really good. I don't have any issues with it, both salads were pretty good Actually. The Sedona sandwich was good Except the chicken was suuuuper dry. The chicken seemed to be cut into two pieces so there were times you'd get a bite with no chicken because the piece slipped from the sandwich. The BLT was the main one that was a problem. The lettuce was wilted, the tomato had the core in the one slice they gave which really sucked. The bacon wasn't strips of bacon, it was bacon pieces. It made it difficult to eat. Each bite, the bacon would fall out and had to be scooped back into the sandwich. It was actually really disappointing. The bacon is the claim fame for a BLT and it should be the best part. Unfortunately it was the worst part. The fries were ok, they were shoestring fries and overly salted. We also got a lot of small pieces of fries that were overcooked. The inside of the piece is really nice and looks like a cool place to hang out. The outdoor patio is also top notch when the weather is nice. read more

We went with very high hopes after having Bourbon Pear recommended to us by a shop keeper and after perusing the menu. Unfortunately our experience wasn't special at all. The service was spotty and slow. I ordered a shrimp louie that had very little to do with the classic and beloved salad. Spring greens (which I strongly dislike) mixed with some weird dressing that was as unlike a traditional Louie dressing as you can get. Four extremely salty medium sized shrimp (not the classic bay shrimp), a quarter of a sliced avocado, two cherry tomatoes and an old appearing hard boiled egg. Served in a small, non-entree sized bowl with an entree sized price. The Po Boy catfish sandwich had tasteless fish. The tomato soup was good, but the salad ordered with it was dry. Just all around disappointing. Hoping they just had an off day. read more

Sat at the bar with just my wife and I and after that, it was amazing. The service was fantastic, the vibes in there were amazing. Had the pull apart bread, WOW! It was delicious. The service that we got , that's what earned the 5 stars. We were sitting at the bar for almost 2 hours, just a date night with my wife and I, they didn't rush us or even get the feeling that they were. Highly recommended stopping by. read more

This unique place is a key spot to visit, eclectic menu with fabulous food and drink pairings, helpful staff with pairing etc and wonderfully enjoyable food and drinks.

Came with the wife for our 27th anniversary and we had the best time. Will definitely be back for more read more

The service was great but the food wasn't. I had the Bishop Ranch Salad (baby greens with pear, walnuts, blue cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette) with grilled chicken added. The salad was okay but pretty basic and a small portion for $16. Some of the greens had seen better days and for a place that has pear in a lot of dishes it was surprisingly not fresh. The grilled chicken was bland and overcooked, chewy and dry. It was also small. It felt like the kind of meal I could have made myself at home and better. read more

The Bourbon Pear has a rustic vibe with a airy out door patio that really sets the mood. I ordered a prickly pear margarita which packed a punch but not a lot of flavor. My partner has a spring fashioned which he enjoyed though didn't like the consistency of the strawberry puree. For lunch i tried the Brie and pear quesadilla but didn't find it held much flavor there aside from the pear chutney. My partner said he burger was alright but somewhat dry and didn't enjoy his potato salad much. I additionally ordered a peartini to try and found that drink to be very tasty, with a nice spice that reminds one of autumn. Hope to try this spot again read more

We came here for lunch for my 50th birthday. I wanted to try a new restaurant downtown so decided on coming here. Upon entering we waited at the host stand. Another person had arrived right before us and was dropping off a paper and the employee and him talked for a good amount of time before finishing their conversation and finally acknowledging us. We were taken to our table for two and given menus and water. My husband and I both ordered the catfish and fries. Unfortunately the taste fell short, it was really bland. The fries were pretty good, but shoe sting is not our favorite. Cute, quaint atmosphere and bar area looks nice if you're into drinking. read more

Delicious! I've been meaning to come here since I seen it's "coming soon" during one of my visits downtown. I came on a on Friday night and was surprised at how busy it was. It's seems the word is out that The Bourbon Pear is delicious. The bar had two spots open so we didn't have to wait. We were greeted fairly quickly and given menus. I had a Tennessee mule a whiskey twist to the original. It was ok, I felt that it needed a smidge more ginger beer. The old fashioned was really good! As an appetizer we choose the hush puppies, and omg! So good! They come with a cinnamon honey butter. Highly recommend. As our entrees I had the Rodzilla burger and he had their Friday night Fried chicken special. The burger was good but I ordered it a little over cooked for my liking. No biggie, that was my own fault. I tend to like my meat a little more rare than most. Also, note that they do offer gluten free buns for their burger and sandwiches. It's actually good too! I know it can be a little difficult to find a good GF bread. I had a small bite of the fried chicken, THE BEST I've had in this area! Reminded me of the chicken I've had during my trips to the south. Overall, this place is delicious with a great ambiance, quick and friendly service. It's definitely one of best restaurants in Livermore! read more

We've had mixed experiences at the other Worth Group restaraunts but were still excited to give this new spot in downtown Livermore a try. Came in on Sunday right at noon and were seated promptly. Ambience is nice & cozy. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Food was great overall. Standouts were the hush puppies (appetizer), the tomato soup, and the bread pudding (dessert), but the sandwiches and entrees were ordered were all well-made and quite tasty. Eager to come back! read more

Have been to those restaurant now three times with different groups. First group was family second group extended family third group friends. We have had fantastic food and service all three times. I wish that I had gotten the names of the first two servers because they were great. But I do know the name of the one we had this past Saturday. Her name is Joanie And she was an absolute delight! We were there to celebrate a job promotion and Joanie made sure to congratulate our celebrant and make a fuss. It made her feel very special. Service was fabulous, food was delicious, the hostess whose name I also don't know unfortunately was also so sweet and so kind. We had a lady with us with a walker and she was so great about telling us the best place to wait for our table so that our friend would have a spot to sit on her walker seat while we waited. She was attentive to those waiting and somehow kept track of all the different groups, where they were, and dealt with incoming phone calls. Honestly, the bourbon pair has become our spot to go for special dinners. Thank you so very much everyone there. Looking forward to our next visit. Dishes ordered: crispy Brussels sprouts, these came out a little overdone, they were still good, Salisbury steak, grilled cheese sandwich, southern fried catfish, and fried chicken salad, plus smoked tomato soup for all, which is the best tomato soup I've ever had, and desserts of pear tart, creme brulee, and banana bread pudding. Besides the Brussels sprouts being a little overdone, everything was absolutely perfect. And yeah, we could have sent the Brussels sprouts back probably but they weren't bad and we actually enjoyed the crispiness of them and the bacon. I've had them each time I've gone to the restaurant and this was the first time they were a tad overdone but still yummy. Definitely recommend bourbon pear!!! read more

We were excited to try this new restaurant in town. They should asked for feedback but nobody did, not the waitress and not the lady standing by the front door as we were exiting. Liked the casual vibe here. The wait for water, service, entrees all took extremely long for being a Monday at 5:30pm Mac and Cheese was not hot / bubbly. It was lukewarm. Both entrees (pork chop and Bourbon chicken) were tasty except for the spinach which was way too salty. Mustard sauce for pork chop was excellent. Waitress never once circled back to ask how our foods were. We hope this restaurant will improve as Livermore could use a restaurant with this kind of menu. We will be back to try some of their sandwiches but hope the service will improve. read more

$42 Food is overpriced and subpar! Ordered a Cali burger and took almost 30 mins to get. It fell apart with one bite. A total mess! The fries were undercooked and limp! The bartender(a joke) she would rather be on the phone or talking with another employee than to take care of the customer! The only good thing was the beer! I'll never step into this place again! read more
