Orchid Room

We came here to watch the 49ers game. What a fun old school bar with great service. Even though they don’t serve food, they brought in pizza for everyone. Katie is a great bartender. Very kind and attentive. AND she makes THE BEST lemon drop. There’s even a table shelf for board and a pool table available.

The best of the best dive bars. Katie is sweet, warm, welcoming and makes everyone feel like a new friend. The regulars here make it feel like home, even to someone who just arrived from the airport. The gourmet food options include Lays, Fritos, Cheetos and Cheez-Its. There's a pool table and shuffleboard. Come for a good time, stay for a long time.

@ my age (70’s)I am writing my 1st review ever, I was 86 out of this place by a bar bartender for her judgment of my behavior. My first time ever and I’ve been around for a while. I’ve been going in there for years. I was not drunk nor obnoxious or confrontational. Yes, woman if you will call her that, has accepted hundreds of dollars in tips form me ,go figure. Am I bitter bitter? maybe insulted and that too, my long whiny complaint.

Cozy place. I visited San Carlos downtown for the first time in 15 years and I was so surprised that there were so many new restaurants. I found Orchid Room and got in the door. The interior was the same as it used to be. Nothing changed. So comfortable.

Have been here a few times, and it's a cool spot. The staff and patrons have always been polite with me. However, I crossed the line. Last night, I was a coward and blew a chance with a girl elsewhere, and chose to get wasted, harass a woman and try to grab her. I'm lucky I didn't get my butt kicked. I had it coming. To everyone that had to deal with me, I'm sorry. I was way out of line. Take care.

Great little place to unwind with a few beers in the afternoon. Several beers are on tap plus in bottles. They don't serve any food except snacks so I always bring a sub with me if I am hungry. The decor is subtle but well done. It took me a few visits to notice the old movie posters. They even have shuffleboard for retro enthusiasts (alas no Foosball.) An internet jukebox is always playing with great tunes and is accessible from your phone or the bar's wifi. There are several TVs on for sports fans. They love their dogs in San Carlos and some bring their usually beautiful ones in. Unfortunately some are quite noisy. So I can't give this bar five stars as much as I want to.

This is a dive bar in the heart of downtown San Carlos. It is probably the only late night bar in the area. The service is a good and drinks are pretty simple. There is a shuffleboard and pool, which makes it a great place for groups. You can also change the music with a touchscreen jukebox.
