Vinnie's Bar And Grill

Vinnie's is our go-to place for live music, dancing, and a late dinner on Friday or Saturday night. It's like 20 minutes drive from mostly everywhere in East Contra Costa County. The food is outstanding, even at 10:30 pm on Friday night in a packed bar. Kudos to them for supporting and hosting local rock cover bands, original artists, Latin Salsa, comedy and more. The place is clean and well lit with a large, private patio in the back (great to take a break from a deafening performance or cool off). They attract a crowd for most shows and it does get packed in front of the stage. Good people though, singles and couples 25-70 looking to dance or shoot pool. Security quickly dispatches the rare troublemaker and bar staff are always friendly and quick. Bring your Vaccination Card and check it out.

When I first got there the people I was with I we ordered food and we got a chicken sandwich, two fish tacos and a BLT and it was so good like I would just go there to eat. I had the fish tacos and it's the next day my mouth and body still wants more. So I wanted an orange cocktail and I didn't want a tequila sunrise so the bartender concocted an orange drink and I stayed with it all night like it was so good it had fresh oranges in it. Then we had this really good rosé tequila so we took shots of that it was so smooth you didn't need no salt or no extras. They had live bands there in a stage and people that actually danced on their big dance floor. The vibe was super chill and crisp. There was no stagnancy in the air at all. The people were all different walks of life and they were all super chill. The bartenders were awesome and their customer service was great. I definitely will be going back there again. They have three or four pool tables some booths where you can actually sit down and enjoy your meal and the dance floor the stage where the and then two bathroom's. They have a area in the back where like smokers could smoke and they have a really really good selection of alcohol. They have tables and chairs too like if you just want to sit and you know watch the bands or whatever it was a really super dope experience to kick off my birthday weekend I'm glad I went there totally boosted my spirits.

I got the mini sliders and they were absolutely fantastic very good I really enjoy putting cheese on it it might have needed some ketchup and it came with a good amount of mayonnaise for me and the drinks were good the security as well as the bartenders were really nice and I was there for a couple of hours before a live show started so it was full of people very happy drunk people so I had a great time

We went to Vinnie's for the free comedy night January 21. I believe the MC said comedy night happens every 3rd Monday, but I could be wrong. Contact them to verify. So about Vinnie's... when 1st entering I felt like an extra in the 'Cheers' TV show. But nobody knew my name. However, the patrons lining the bar seemed like they were all old friends. They were deep in several simultaneous conversations. And that includes chatting with management and staff - who were all very helpful and personable. Here's the only negative for the night; fending for ourselves. We were not sure if we seated ourselves or if someone would direct us, so after some hesitation we headed to an open booth and settled in for the 7:30 pm show. We had to try out the food (after all it is a Bar AND a Grill) I found their menu on my phone and after a little investigating my wife discovered we had to place our order with the barkeep. As the show began we received our burgers and fries and munched away between bouts of laughter. The food wasn't half bad, by the way. If you haven't been to a live stand-up comedy show you need to set aside a little time and come out to Vinnie's. There is a world of difference from seeing polished comedy sets on television and watching it live. When you sit in the room you can feel the audience's connection to the comic. Or sometimes, the disconnect - after all these people are working on their material, and it doesn't always go as expected. Vinnie's is definitely worth stopping by any night just for the company. But, especially worth a night of comedy. You will have a much deeper appreciation for what these comics do, and endure.

This place deserves zero starts for sure. There’s was an I hired cat in their planter box in front of the business. And they watched it die. The put it in a trash bag and threw it in the dumpster. Didn’t call animal control to come get it to have it scanned for a microchip. Just threw it away like it was nothing. I went a got the cat with another lady who was taking the poor cat to the shelter and having it scanned and notifying the owner was. The person I chatted with which was The OWNERS MOTHER. Was heartless and has zero compassion for this poor cat. I have attached the screen shots of our conversation. However the bartender that started at 6 who I spoke to when I am went in was very nice and didn’t know anything about this. He was helpful and directed us to the dumpster so we could get the cat and he obviously felt bad and couldn’t believe people that work there did that.
