The Kezar Pub

Conflicted review-- or an amalgamation of two opposite ones. Went here months ago and ordered the cider and a plate of mussels with a friend. Was thrilled with everything. The ambiance, the waitress, the food especially.

Went there last night with same friend and ordered the burger (medium rare thank you very much) and the IPA. The burger was hands down the worst burger I have ever eaten. I think it may have been the bun, but who knows about this stuff (not me). It took forever to get served, the waitresses were running around like chickens with their heads cut off and they had trouble coordinating who was serving our table.

Once I ordered i was pretty hungry, and though I had initially decided to go without french fries, after ten minutes of waiting I changed my mind because my stomach felt like it was about to implode. So I told our waitress that I would indeed have fries with my burger and she went back to the kitchen presumably to give the order. She emerged a minute later carrying our food sans french fries. As she placed the burger down in front of me I had pangs of indecision-- "Actually, now that I have my burger I don't think I need those fries." She gave me a blank stare and then said "I just put in the order."

Alright then! I guess I understand that. So I took a bite of my burger, took a few more somewhat unwillingly because it wasn't good, and then suddenly I am confronted with this huge pile of fries. My friend had ordered the soup which was rather large, and she looked at me with these sad eyes as if to say "'Tis all going to waste."

And that giant pile of fries did go to waste. And then the bill came and it turns out the waitress, in her infinite wisdom, had placed an order/charged us with a whole thing of fries and not the side order that comes with the burger-- which meant double the wasted fries and double the price.

Now, the moral of the story I suppose is to not to be indecisive when placing orders. True enough. But such a revision would not be an adequate reclamation of my Sunday evening. Instead, I'll adjust my principles for Kezar Pub: only order the mussels, avoid burgers and dirty-blond waitresses.

Back again! The food here is delicious and the drinks are nice and cold.

They have a bar area with bar seating and high top tables up front and then long picnic tables in the back of the restaurant. There are TVs everywhere and every time I've been here there is some sort of sport on TV and group of people watching and drinking along.

The wings ($34.95 for 20) here are amazing, they're a good size, cooked well and the hot sauce is delicious. The ranch and blue cheese seem to be house made, and are a bit on the liquid side but tasty.

On our latest visit I also tried the Kezar Corn Dogs ($13.95) that come with a selection of four Aidell's sausages in a crispy batter and served with two choices of mustard sauce. Each piece is about a fourth of a sausage and definitely an upgrade from a traditional corn dog.

We also ordered the fried pickles ($10.75) these come in spears and with ranch for dipping. These are crispy on the outside and flavorful. Great with a beer.

Really, all the food is delicious and they have a breakfast menu as well if you're there for an early morning watch party.

It can get busy and VERY loud here though, so don't expect a quiet date here. When we were here last there was a group drinking, standing on the benches and singing/chanting together. They were having a blast, but it definitely makes having a normal conversation difficult.

They also have some outdoor tables and there is a parking lot super close by that you can pay to park in.

Lots of space for a large friend group or gathering and plenty of TV screens to catch any sports game! I didn't order any drinks here since I had already been drinking a bit earlier in the day, so mainly came in for a quick bite before going elsewhere to continue partying it up. I tried the BBQ chicken quesadilla and Korean chicken wings. Both were very good and huge portions. Be ready to share a plate of food with a friend! Some friends in the group ordered pitchers of beer, and they seemed to enjoy the variety that was on offer. Overall had a great time here and surprised by how good the food actually is.

Been here 3 times for lunch during the Euro Cup. Great place to watch futball. 20 screens, loud, lots fans. Had the burger and fish & chips. Both great.

Food and service was good and fast the only thing had to do self serve water, it a cool bar place to go I will definitely go back their burger and fries taste so good

The ambiance the night I went here was horrible. A table of obnoxiously loud drunk people together yelling at wrestling match. People from different tables were actually saying are they being obnoxious on purpose ? We couldn't even hear the waitress or the person next to us. Our food orders came out wrong because she could not hear us when we ordered. They were in the back and the entire back cleared out to the front. This went on for like 30 minutes. Deafening yelling at wrestlers on TV. Never again, way too loud. Headache inducing.

Still a solid sports bar. Good food and you can watch multiple games.

Been here the last few times watching the warriors game.

Prices are still great

Ordered the Gourmet burger as I was really craving a cheeseburger. Hubs ordered a chicken sandwich and the Gangnam wings. Everything came out at the same time. The burger was piled high with onions, lettuce and tomato, and looked really good. However, both the fries and burger lacked seasoning (needed some salt). For me, I also would've liked some mayo on the burger as it was a bit dry.

Came here at 6 am to watch English Premier League for the first time! There are TV all around so everywhere is a good spot to watch the game!

Coffee is good and food is served at 7 am. I got fries and wings. Fries is crispy! Wings are a bit sour to my taste but it's crispy so it's still good!

Bartender lady is super friendly. No wonder people come here to watch the games!

I belong to that select group who venture into Kezar with a singular craving that overshadows the allure of cheering for professional sports teams: their buffalo wings.

Finding well-executed buffalo wings that remind one of the flavors found back East is a quest that many undertake, but few succeed in. Kezar Pub, however, changes the narrative by offering buffalo wings that are nothing short of a culinary delight. What sets these wings apart is not just their size, which generously defies the often encountered disappointment of minuscule offerings elsewhere, but the balance of texture and flavor. These wings have crispy exterior while meat within, is still juicy. The magic, however, does not stop at the texture. The wings are coated in a buffalo sauce; blend of salty and tangy notes, with a subtle hint of buttery richness rounding out the flavor profile.

I often order these wings as take-away. Ordering at the bar has been a breeze, the bartenders are always super nice and pack us extra napkins and sauce for the journey home. I am definitely a die-hard team Kezar Buffalo Wings fan.

This bar is exceptionally rude to its customers. They took so long to clear out our table after numerous attempts. When we arrived we were told that the kitchen would be open till 2am but then few minutes into our evening they abruptly closed the kitchen after we paid 20$ to attend the screening. I wish they were transparent about it from the beginning - If we knew that this would be the case we would have gone elsewhere. I do appreciate the bar for hosting the screening till late.
Also, on checking with a few other friends, apparently only Indians were charged for the cricket game screening which I thought was pretty racist on their part. Having lived in the city for so long, I've never experienced such unpleasant behavior.

Moreover, the serving staff seemed super rude when we would ask them basic questions such as what beer you have on tap / what wheat beers they have.

I would NOT recommend coming here!
