V & E Club

Stay away from this place. It's not a welcoming place for someone like you and me! The bartender was outright racist. She commented about us not fitting in and and maybe making other patrons uncomfortable. This is when we had just walked in!! I am not sure this is acceptable behavior in any place, especially in a Bay area establishment. Leave it, not worth your time and dollars!

Third time coming here in the past year. First two times bartender was the rudest I have ever encountered. I let it slide because it was a busy night so maybe she just never "seen us". This last Saturday my husband and I stopped in for a drink before our dinner reservations. Only about 10 others inside and we were able to sit at the bar. She sat talking to others at the far end for 15 minutes then came and served others next to us. Never saying a word to us. Finally, I heard her ask us how our day was doing, or so we thought she was, so I replied it’s going great how are you. She glared at me and I realized she was asking the two guys who walked in and were standing behind us and asked what would they like to have! She never even acknowledged that we were sitting there! She seemed to be struggling a little with her speech if you know what I mean so maybe that’s why. We got up and walked out. Never again though! The owners of this place needs to really consider if this bartender is good for their business.

Bartenders could be more friendly, but It's hard work so I understand. Great atmosphere, mixed crowd of all backgrounds and ages. Pool table, shuffle board. Very cool stuff.

Very rude bartender-11/6/25. Kept my change was drunk and when i asked for a second drink she said i was rude to her refused me service and an imposter LEO came and tried to throw me out.

Always have a good experience here. A go to for me for a cheap drink and a good conversation with a bartender. They recently upgraded the pool table as well so it’s nice to have a good one in town

I've been a frequent patron of VE Bar in Livermore for years, and it's always been one of my go-to spots. I genuinely enjoy the atmosphere and have had countless good times here. However, my most recent experiences have been significantly soured by the behavior of one particular bartender, Kacey. It seems Kacey has a penchant for power-tripping, finding any excuse to exert unnecessary authority and, kick people out for little to no reason. This isn't just an isolated incident; it's become a recurring theme for myself and others. A prime example occurred recently when I went with a group of five girlfriends on a Sunday night for a few drinks. Kacey carded everyone, standard procedure. However, things quickly escalated. One of our friends presented her passport as identification. Kacey, inexplicably, demanded a debit or credit card with a matching name to "verify" her identity. A valid passport should absolutely be sufficient identification. She then made the exact same, equally baffling, request from another friend who had her driver's license – again, a perfectly valid form of ID. Being that the girls did not have a debit or credit card to show, we were asked to leave. VE Bar is known to be a cash bar. Asking for a debit or credit card in this context felt incredibly fishy and completely out of line. It felt less like a genuine attempt at verification and more like an excuse to create an issue. While I've enjoyed VE Bar for a long time, the consistent negative interactions with Kacey have unfortunately made me reconsider my patronage. I would be more than happy to change this 1-star review to a 5-star review the day that Kacey is no longer employed at VE Bar.

Warning!!!! DO NOT COME HERE! First time at this bar and the bar tender was such a "see you next Tuesday". We walked in, nice gentlemen at the bar offered their seat for us and as we were trying to arrange the seats she goes "do you all have to seat here???". We didn’t make a big deal out of it but then as she tried to take our orders she dismissed me as she said "oh! She’s texting". She clearly had an issue from the moment we walked in. Too bad as we like to tip and we tip well… her loss ‍♀️
