What a fun place to have a party, out back on the Hawaiian theme decorated patio! Friendly staff made the whole evening work for about 40 of us. And we could bring our own strolling musicians. Totally fun hang out!

Shoe chill bar with pretty good food (I had the nachos with chicken but the portion could have been bigger and a decent, albeit IPA-heavy tap selection. Bartender was super friendly and was working hard. Will be back for sure

St. James Gate in Redwood City is an absolute gold mine for whisky aficionados. I was awestruck to find the legendary 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle amongst a vast collection of bourbons and whiskies, all available at a reasonable price point. Apart from the excellent spirit selection,...Read More

Drinks are great! The area is very loud with either live music or conversations but worth the time and effort to enjoy a good time with friends.
$20–30Atmosphere: 5Somewhat difficult to find parkingFree street parkingParking is hard to find right in front, but there is street parking available within a 5 minute walk from the entrance.The kitchen food has kid friendly options available, but after 9pm I would not recommend bringing kids.Everything is on one floor, bathrooms are accessible and the patio is very comfortable and spacious.

Fun place! When my group went they had a great cover band and the space made the sound great. I didn't get any food so I didn't rate the food. The barkeep was very friendly, attentive and quick.
