Great cocktails, got a classic margarita (always a safe place to start) and a French 75. The bartender was super nice.

Great atmosphere, well managed and pretty good drinks, only downfall for me is the music being a bit too loud inside where you have a hard time ordering drinks inside. Overall a good hang out spot

Blacksmith stands out for its reinvigorated look and fresh vibe. The bar and lounge is covered in sleek, dark decor with leather banquettes, a brick fireplace, and sports on TV. Despite its high end look, the cozy ambience makes you feel right at home. Blacksmith boasts a seasonal and regular menu, which include draught beers, regular and sparkling wines, bottled beers, and even Red Bull. All drinks are $3 for happy hour. Their signature drink, the Blacksmith Gimlet, is a must-have. It puts a new spin on the classic gin and lemon juice recipe by adding St. Germain elderflower liqueur with a garnish of fresh basil. Apart from a few bar snacks, Blacksmith does not serve food, but it’s convenient spot in the heart of downtown means there are plenty of options nearby.

Went here for my birthday and was well taken care of! Tasty cocktails and great ambiance

Brussel sprout was really good

Stopped by for a nightcap post dinner. The only real bar in the entire main drag, but little else. Gets livelier as the rest of the street shuts down by 9am. The draft beers we tried tasted fresh and flavorful. Nice seating inside and on the curb.

Fun lively place! Rombauer Chardonnay by the glass. I was happy about that.

Blacksmith drink menu was great, try the Gentleman's agreement.

Great place to chill after work

Great place to meet for drinks.. very stylish

The Old Fashioned was good, however, the glass was dirty. Music was very loud and they were not busy, compared to the surrounding restaurant/bars. Took 10 minutes for the bartender to make two cocktails.

Always a good time

Fun cocktail bar with plenty of outdoor seating. Had a couple of drinks here that contained good and quality ingredients, if haphazardly thrown together due to the crowds and pressure on the bar. The ratios were basically correct, but more attention would have improved them greatly (don't care if it takes longer!) One drink our group ordered that was obviously incorrect (i.e., clearly missing a key ingredient) we returned to the bar, and the bartender actually tried to *talk my friend out of it* by saying 'no, that's how it's supposed to taste.' I understand being short on time, but in this case, I don't think there would ever be a good reason to resist remaking it or making something new. Otherwise, come here if you want a fun night out with dancing. Maybe stick to a G&T if you don't want to be disappointed.

The best bar in Redwood city

It's ok. When they first open it was a chill place to grab a drink and talk. Now it turned into a wanna be club for old people.

Good beer selection, but the music was a bit too loud when I went.

Love this place. Tasty cocktails and really nice bartenders.

Management probably shouldn't understaff on important game days but I like the vibe

Incredible margaritas that are always constantly great! Ambiance is perfect for after work drinks or meet ups. Indoor and outdoor seating (heaters included).

Very nice cocktail stop. No food=-1*

Drinks are good but the music is way too loud to talk to my friends or order drinks. Actual hearing damage potential. One star.

Good cocktails and nice outdoor seating. Indoor seating area very open and airy.

Beautiful atmosphere but it took a long time to get drinks ordered. When we finally got the bartender's attention one round, we just ordered beer instead of cocktails so it would be quicker. Still, a great bar and I'd go back.

A good, causal happy hour bar in Redwood City. I would highly recommend the Old Fashioned. They have great drinks on the menu that I would recommend. If you get there for happy hour, you get $3 off.

Great cocktails, love the outdoor seating. The cocktails didn't entirely live up to the descriptions on the menu. It seemed like slightly more care and precision could have gone into the preparation, but I was still happy with the drink.

A great place to grab an after work cocktail with friends or coworkers. Located on the pedestrian mall section of Broadway, the Blacksmith offers indoor and outdoor seating. Great cocktails and friendly service!

Great drinks, fun atmosphere. And there are many delicious food options nearby that are open late on weekends.

we came here for NYE and it was a dope experience. The DJ is a bit more generic compared to the one across the street but somehow edit checks the biggest crowd on the street. Nice outdoor space and drink some moderatives

Their drinks look awesome. The bartender (she is also a manager) made good drinks for us. We liked them, however the alcohol percentage was a little bit high for us.

Terrible..terrible..terrible. I initially came in with a group of mates last week on weekday and we waited 30minutes to be asked what we wanted on an empty bar. No customer service at all! Some short darker skinned girl, she seemed new because she had no idea what she was doing, was bartending, and she took so long to make our drinks. Not only that, she was rude, and conversed like we were a burden at the bar. All we wanted were some drinks. No attitude was needed. Ambience was decent, had nice interior. Definitely go to another bar if your in the area, San mateo has way better repor and service. I will not be spending my money hear again.

I’m beyond disappointed in the woman that was bartending last night. She was insanely unkind to every patron the entire night. I don’t know if it’s because a vendor of the business conference paid for alcohol to be free for attendees, and she wasn’t being tipped… however she was one of the most unkind people I’ve ever encountered even when people tried to be kind to her. She was taller, maybe 5’11 6’0, dark and curly hair… If I were the owner of this bar, I’d be furious.

Good selection of whiskey and scotch. Simple dark interior and bar plus healthy pour volume make for a pleasant Sat afternoon drink session.

Great place to enjoy a nice romantic dinner! Wonderful staff, great food and an amazing place.

Good music and a nice enough dance floor. A little packed but what do you expect on a Friday night!

A smaller bar with great drinks. Seating is limited, but there is outdoor seating with heat lamps which makes for a comfortable area. Staff were very friendly. Music was blasting inside, even at 8pm, making it almost impossible to hear. By 10pm the place was packed shoulder to shoulder. They will open up a tab for you earlier in the evening but close it at about 9pm and make you open one at the bar. The wait for drinks got quite bad - about 20 mins to get to the front. No food menu which we were disappointed about. Patrons were mixed but mostly in their 20s and 30s.

The Sunday Bartender is awesome

Relaxing environment. Happy hour specials.

Sooo much fun, great place

Nice new modern bar with a good vibe. They have live music on Thursday evenings at 9pm that draws a diverse crowd.

Great atmosphere with some outdoor seating. Doesn't sell food or allow food from the outside which makes it only good for drinks.

Tasty cocktails, friendly staff, good music playing.

Great service, drinks and atmosphere!

Amazing!

It

O feel a bit old when I go in there cause of the young crowd, but they play hip hop and thats one of the genre I grew up with.

Rude staff, sketchy crowd.

Lovely pilsner on draft,great happy hour discounts!

Had an amazing time!!!

Came here to grab some drinks. Moderately expensive, and has a good beer selection. Got Guiness and a cocktail. Place is crowded, with music - so expect to speak out loud.

Great bar in the heart of Redwood City. Lively, friendly, hip.

Love a place where the bartender (s) explore their craft in making drinks. I love going here and ask the bartender to create a drink for me. Each drink has been amazing. Keeps me returning!!

Over priced and weak drinks

Solid option for the area.

Not a bad spot to grab a cocktail and sit outside on a sunny day. A little pricy for what it is, and drinks only, but perfectly pleasant for catching up with a friend.

(Translated by Google) My first time and this father the place? you listen to music and you can talk and dance calmly tmbn?es and m looooose taste I recommend it?? (Original) Mi primera vez y esta padre el lugar? escuchas música y puedes conversar y bailar tmbn?es tranquilo y m gusto muuucho lo recomiendo??

Best local bar in Redwood City

Ok bar, but they give steal themselves additional $10 tip from the credit charge. Save your receipt.

This bar has the hottest male bartenders. Cool people and outside area.

Awesome drinks, and the bartenders are clearly knowledgeable and passionate. Only bummer is no food options. Atmosphere is fun, they're always packed, and nice indoor/ outdoor seating options.

(Translated by Google) A local bar of hot young bosses! I'm having a good time. It is good to play thanks to the delicious and cool bosses available (Original) 핫한 젊은 사장님들이 하는 로컬 바! 빵빨 터지는 신나는 이디엠에 동네 멋진 젊은친구들은 다 요기로 모이는느낌? 맛도좋고 쿨한 사장님들덕에 잘놀다가용

The bartender left the bar back in charge, How this place got high marks, I do not know.

ok vibes

Went with my cousin, sat at the bar for 20 minutes, watched as the bartender served multiple folks who came in after us, and left. Would not recommend.
