    The bar area

    I love this bar! It's so comfy and welcoming. The owners are amazing! It's family owned. A am in love with the pool table room! It's actually really big inside for a small bar.. I definitely will be back...

    Even though they still don't have couches, this place is still the best to be at when you want to have a great time. This is a bar for anyone and anything, I am a local drunk here, even sometimes I don't drink I come in to catch a movie or a sports event and the folks here make it even more entertaining.. the bartenders here are awesome, Matt, Diego, Stefan, Adolfo, and even my 4th best friend Brandon, who lately I've seen some people call him out for having a bad day or just standing up to someone who may not have known his place when it came to banter and bar talk. In any case, if you want to have some drinks and decompress a little, come in to the place where everyone knows your name, except when they call you by some other dándome name to keep you on your toes...

    Awesome hole in the wall dive bar located in the heart of downtown Hayward. The atmosphere is super mellow. Our bartender, Brandon, made our drinks just perfect. Prices are really good on drinks too. There's a pool table in the back and plenty of seating with tv screens around in case you want to catch a game.

    The first time I came into this bar, it was evident that this is a safe bar for me to be in alone; the owners and bartenders take care of any creepy or misbehaving people quickly and efficiently. The bartenders are fun and a little sarcastic. It makes for a fun time and a great atmosphere. Drinks are cheap, the jukebox is loud, and the regulars are fun! Definitely hit it up if you want a good time! Plus they allow doggos!

That being said, the vegan options here are slim. The only things you don't need to heavily modify are the chips and guacamole, some of the veggie sides, and the pasta with marinara sauce on the kids' menu. If you're ok with shared fryers, their fries are technically vegan too. Since they don't have a pasta option on the regular menu that doesn't include meat and cheese, I usually order a create-your-own pasta off the kids' menu and choose a side of steamed broccoli. I like their marinara sauce and the portion is just right, so I'm fine with it. I also really love their strawberry lemonade. It would be great if they had at least one dedicated vegan dish on the adult menu, but I don't expect a chain restaurant to go out of their way to accommodate vegans.

But everyone in our party was unhappy with their meal. I ordered the protein bowl with tri-tip and only managed about three bites. The meat was so tough I literally couldn't chew through it, and the seasoning and overall flavor were just off. The rest of my party had similar complaints about their food. To the manager's credit, they were very kind and removed my meal from the bill, which I appreciated. However, even with my meal taken off, the bill was still quite high for food that none of us particularly enjoyed. We live in Marin, so we're certainly accustomed to paying higher prices when dining out, but the quality simply didn't justify the price here. Great service and a clean restaurant, but unfortunately the food and value would keep us from returning.

Hopefully they can find a local spot but there arent many spaces for the footprint 20 tables and other games need. Our experience was pretty standard. Enjoyed shooting some pool. Caught several games - wish they could vary the screens a bit more. When its a row of 4-8 TVs and they alternate the same 2 games across them, its meh. If they would put a different event on each screen - boom! Beers were cold, wish there were more rotating handles but I also get it. Why change what works - but for me, I like variety. The bar food was pretty decent. Mixed drinkers were strong (at least according to my other half!). Pics - yup, forgot again! Next time :) We'll find them when they reopen and go experience the fun. Hope its soon!

    Dear Cody, "To love…read moreis to dream. Too often, to dream is to hurt." It's one of the many jaded expressions in Football that we all eventually experience. When we experience it, and only when we finally do, do we truly appreciate the painful wisdom embedded within those words. It's only your first World Cup, Cody, and you are already feeling the heartache. You spent much of the tournament at Kezar Pub, which you endearingly refer to as "the pub". Daddy lived his first World Cup with Goo-Ma in a more humble fashion -- through an antenna-enabled 18-inch television. You, in privileged contrast, were surrounded by probably more than 18 wide screen TVs and the best sound system in the business. Brilliant equipment aside, Kezar's atmosphere is inimitable. There is something special that spurs Daddy to share beers and jello-shots with new friends. That pub is a beacon for good times. I have many photos of you in your WC shirt sampling pub favorites with uncles and aunties. Bangers and Mash was a hit. Maybe a bit lukewarm on the Shepherd's Pie (Daddy loves it though). The Fish & Chippies though? Cody ate enough of the English staple to justify the face paint. I do NOT have videos of you receiving trinkets and high fives from the best owner and best pub staff in the world. I certainly do not have a video of Daddy screaming profanities whenever a certain scumbag referee gets on screen. Oh hey Cody, bullying players and referees is never okay, but also sometimes absolutely necessary (another wise Football adage). I do not have a video of you screaming We All Like Vindaloo after a goal. No videos of you sitting in the community benches doing Sprite-cheers with Portuguese / German / Swedish / Dutch / Mexican / Norwegian friends we shared seats with. Nothing of you flexing the Arsenal shirt you have underneath for whenever one of our boys scores (Kai Havertz scores again!!). I wish I did, but Daddy does not have a video of us pointing to the red number 10 shirt bellowing "Na-Na-Na-nananana! Nananana!" What we do have are memories that'll morph into stuff of legends. Legends we share with each other for a lifetime. Yes, we'll have the pain, too. Daddy's first dream was shattered by a red card in '98. Although, you know Cody, I don't actually remember the red card too well. Daddy's most visceral memory of that tournament was the wonder I felt as I kept asking Goo-Ma if Michael Owen is the fastest guy in the world. I still feel that kid-like wonder again whenever that moment floods my memory. Thats why Daddy thinks it's our good moments that stays with us. Cody, we had so many of them. The heart-stopping penalties we watched on the couch. The Jolibee-fueled game nights on Fridays. Those incredible, incredible times at Kezar Pub. Maybe years later, your most vivid memory of your first World Cup won't be of the gutting loss, just like Daddy's isn't of the '98 red card. Maybe years later, the moment you'll feel again is that Saturday against Norway. That feeling of triumph and jubilation and fearlessness  and that surreal feeling of singing Hey Jude with ALL of Kezar. Football hurts. And maybe it'll hurt again for many more tournaments, many more years. But you also know all the love that comes with football. Love that comes on the badge on your shirt, love that comes with going to Kezar Pub, and of course so much love in singing your favorite songs. After so many years of following the tournament, maybe Daddy can give you his own wise football expression: Don't let the possibility of hurt ever stop you from singing, Cody. "60 yearssss of hurttt, never stopped me dreammming"  Love always, Daddy

The place gets loud when a big game is on, but that is exactly what you want from an Irish sports bar. We were there for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, World Cup soccer, and UFC 250 all in the mix, and the place was packed with great energy throughout. The Guinness pour was excellent, clean lines, great head, perfectly poured. As a busy sports bar things will not always be spotless when it is packed, but the team did a great job keeping the bathrooms clean despite the volume on such a busy day. We spoke with the owner directly and he made sure we had a TV tuned to the hockey game, a genuinely nice guy who made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back.

I even asked the server for a refill and they forgot to give it to me. The wings were mediocre & nothing special. The fries were decent but they were not hot.

I went with the fried pickles, chicken dippers, pretzel knots and thai curry wings. The flavor on the thai curry wings were phenomenal, it was so saucy and flavorful, I'd definitely order this again. It was the perfect size for sharing. We also ordered a bacon patty melt and the bacon was fresh, patty was juicy and the bread was nicely toasted. The side of fry wedges were crispy and had a good seasoning. Service: 5/5: Super helpful staff and very attentive, they made sure we had all of our food and would check on us for refills and also brought over a free order of 6 birthday wings! Highly recommend signing up for BWW rewards. Ambiance 4/5: There's plenty of seating inside and there's also a patio outside for outdoor seating. It's comfortable enough my only complaint is that it's super noisy and loud but that's a given with the sports bar vibes. We we were able to use their app based jukebox to play music and that was nice!

Although the restaurant looks really nice, there are signs of wear and tear that isn't being properly taken care of. For example, we were sat at one of their booths, and the booth chairs sank in and were very uncomfortable. We ended up spending about $270 for 4 people. We did enjoy the wine and appetizers, but their entrees and lack of menu knowledge was really disappointing. For starters, we ordered their fig toast. We asked the waiter how many pieces came with the order, he confidently said 4. So we ordered it, given that we're a table of 4. When the plate came, there were only 3 pieces. We asked the female employee about that, and she did not offer to do anything to address the situation. We simply ordered a fourth piece, and they charged us $6 for one piece when 4 pieces were $16. Keep in mind, this was their mistake to begin with, we would have ordered something else or 2 orders from the start had they just correctly explained their menu items to us. I could see our male waiter and the female hostess speaking behind the bar, he never came to apologize, address, or fix their mistake. Thankfully, this was delicious and the best bite of the night. We also ordered shishito peppers, after we got our entrees, and they were good too. The one complaint though is that our waiter forgot to put the order in, so we got it way at the end of our meal. For entrees, we ordered their chicken parm, lamb burger, and steak frites. The steak was overcooked and lacked flavor. They forgot to put the sauce on my steak, I forgot what sauce but there was none, so I asked for chimichurri which they charged me $2 for even though my steak came with no sauce. At this point, I was so tired of fighting back I just gave them the $2 at the end. The chicken on the chicken parm was cooked well, so was the pasta, but the sauce itself lacked flavor. Just tasted like straight tomato sauce with nothing else added. The lamb burger had no complaints, but I personally do have grudges against restaurants charging $20+ for a burger and it comes with NO sides. How much is a handful of french fries honestly? Or a handful of potato chips or some side salad so it's not a sad empty plate? We did also order 2 peach crisps based on the recommendation of the female hostess. She gave us this beautiful description of fresh grown peaches in season...the peaches in their crisps were CANNED peaches! Honestly, shame on us for trusting them more than one. To be 100% clear. Our table didn't complain, we just rolled with the punches. Oh 3 pieces? Fine, we'll just pay for the 4th and move on. However, that makes your guests leaving feeling a little taken advantage of and disappointed. To their credit, their wine and drinks were good. That's it. Nothing else was up to standard for the prices they're charging. I've honestly had better steak in diners before.
