Such a fantastic place to hang out with friends and to enjoy a Guinness. The owner and staff are fantastic people. The owner is a true Irishman and a gentleman. I am heading there right now to have a pint.

Great place to hang out and have some good times with family and friends. I passed by this place so many times and never noticed it. Today I finally had the chance to try it and I just loved it! I’ll come back for sure and bring more friends with me

Love this place– Its owned by Irish and they always have Guinness on tap which is super important to me. They have other good beers as well. The owners are super nice as well as the regular bartenders. We always meet friendly people and have a great time. Love their reg french fries! Their burgers looked great too. Going to try them next time. They have pool tables and pin ball machines. Very fun place!

McGraw’s is the best of Belmont. The service is awesome. For the people that were upset that they had to wait three seconds, please remember it is McGraw’s, not McDonald’s. This place has great drinks, great food and great fun. McGraw’s has a full suite of adult games and family fun!

A tall bearded menacing bartender who made racially insensitive remarks to female patrons and abused other members in our group. A welcoming place is this, NOT! Eddy and Joan McGraw, please take note and do something. You have lost a patron and will lose many more.

Great vibe– pool tables, shuffle board, a pinball machine that swears at you… not much else I can ask for. Eddie(the owner) has an accent that can be a bit hard to understand. I think he’s German. From what I can tell he’s a really nice guy though. Only complaint is that one of the bartenders kind of messed up my order. I ordered an Irish Mule, which, any good bartender knows, is a shot of Jameson, splash of lime juice, and ginger beer served over ice. So there I was, ordering an Irish Mule, but I wanted it without lime, ginger beer, nor ice. She was extremely confused. Great time either way!

This place has a good environment, lots of positive vibes. There’s a lot of regulars here every week. Ha one time I was here rocking out too love stinks while my exe’s dad walked in. Talk about being in a lil awkward situation but hey rock on. Gus sure knows how to establish a karaōke crowd once again as the man of «Center Stage». He does karaōke here every Saturday night. I’d suggest stopping by. The rotation is pretty nice. I like the drink prices here too. The food is great here and so are the drinks. Gus is a great kj too. He’s got a great song list and great dance moves too. Parking by the place can be a little tough but I’ve never had a problems parking across the street. I’ve always had a great selection of spaces. The location is great too. They also have some great pool tables and some great writing on the walls in the bathroom.

Can’t say no to a fresh Patron Margarita with fresh squeezed lime at my favorite Scottish bar. Go figure, but Shawn’s the best.

Waiter was rude and helpless. Food is just about right, but there is no service. Same rude person attending the bar and cooking the burgers. This is a place to have a beer only.

I had a great time here! I came in on a whim for a few drinks with a friend. We caught some pretty awesome karaōke, and even got shuffle board from the bartender himself(possibly the owner). Looking forward to going back again!

This is the bar you walk into and automatically wish you were a regular at. My boyfriend and I live close by and love coming here to grab a couple drinks, play some pool, and chat with the awesome bartenders. Couldn’t be happier that McGraw’s is our neighborhood spot!

This place is my favorite. Except for some creepy girl w long dark hair who would walk around behind the bar but tied up the pool table most of the night. They accommodated a ton of my friends on a sleepy Thursday night. And then I forgot to tip a 200 $ bill!!! Yikes. They have a full bar now!!! I love this place. Great food and 3pool tables! Awesome.

The last two times I’ve been here I’ve had some issues with the service and the bartenders. I put about $ 20 into the jukebox and every time a song came on they didn’t like they would just skip it. I confronted the girl bartender and she blamed it on the satellite and gave me a $ 1 refund. Right… Came here last night and I would just wait patiently at the bar for one of the two to take my order. Neither were very friendly and definitely took their time. I think last night will have marked my last visit to Mcgraws.

Was told to leave because I had a tank top on! Its California and what dive bar has a dress code?! They have high standards for a place that doesn’t have A/C. We went down the street to Sneakers and ran up a $ 60 tab. Owner should go back to Scotland!

This is one of those bars you wished it was on the corner of your street. The interior is really cool. From old sports photos to a good selection of whiskey. The draft beer selection was decent. They even have pool tables in the back! Shawn our bar tender was cool to talk to. Super attentive and made us feel welcome. It wasn’t too busy so the atmosphere was quite and relaxing. The food was surprisingly delicious. The McGraw burger was delicious. My wife had the grilled cheese and it was good! They make it there right in front of you. If I’m in the area I would definitely come here again.

Cool little place I’ve always passed while driving down El Camino. Glad I could finally try it out with a friend. I ordered a burger and a beer — both of which were great. I expected a bigger burger, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was delicious. They have quite a few games around the place and a modern jukebox. I’d come back just to try more of their food. Looking forward to my next visit. However, the sign above their cash register, «Tipping is not a place in China,» was disconcerting. It’s a heard of phrase, but I just don’t expect to see that sign around these days. I guess they didn’t realize they can have some occasional Chinese customers that may take offense to that? I’d be likely to tip more without that sign.

Clean, nicely lit, spacious and great place to hang out. Good selection of beer and drinks to choose from and the bar food was good too. We had the appetizer sampler as a snack and that was good. They have 3 pool tables in the back that run on quarters with a good number of cue sticks($ 1 per game). In the front, they have darts and a pub shuffle board and an arcade game. On the side is tables for eating and a foozball table that runs on quarters($ 1 per game). This is a great place to go for when looking for a hang-out spot.

This place can be considered an awesome local joint. Or a very cool dive bar. Depends if that term offends you. I personally love this place. I’ve been coming here on & off for over 20 years. It’s changed its name but the owners are the same. I love the attitude of the bartenders. So to all you haters out there get over yourselves. It’s awesome here. It’s not going to change. If you think it’s not PC enough for you, good. Good riddance to you!!! I’d give more stars if I could. SHAWNISAWESOME!!!

We love this place because it has a pretty big variety of food and beers(and apple or pear cider!). We’re also biased because it’s down the street from home. The place is perfect for being not overly loud(depends on hour and day of course), having plenty of space and places to sit, pool tables if that interests you, and reasonably priced food. I get excited about the food — it’s the worst stuff ever for you but it’s certainly yummy(think: chili cheese fries, even the plain fries, chicken fingers(even though they were out last time! sadness), cheese sticks, fried wings). Shuffleboard table doesn’t seem to be playable. Parking in the area is side of street or on the side streets which might be difficult because they’re residential areas. Overall, great place to meet up with people!

What a stellar little dive bar! Service can be a little surly if they get busy, but in general, they’re wonderful people and they’ve got a great happy hour deal, a pretty good grilled cheese, and stellar mozzarella sticks. Before here, I couldn’t even remember the last time I’d had mozzarella sticks. The thought of even having that thought exist makes me a pretty sad panda. They’ve got some great happy hour specials that fit into my pretty tight entertainment budget and while their draft beer selection isn’t huge, the few taps they have represent a number of craft and non-craft styles so it shouldn’t be hard to find at least one drink that you’d commit to for the rest of the evening. Great for group gatherings as they’re incredibly accommodating if they know you’re coming in advance. The thing I love the most about McGraw’s(besides the happy hour) is their topping bar. It’s got like 15 different topping options for your burger, fries, or whatever else you order. Every kind of condiment/sauce you could want was also available, which was rad for me because I’m a big proponent of smothering everything I eat in buffalo sauce.

I felt this was a great venue to meet with your friends and have a «going-away» party! McGraw’s was kind enough to let Unilocalers use their restaurant to host a very fitting farewell to our old community manager. First off, the food here… is dope. It’s really freaking good. I will tell you right now, you won’t be disappointed by their burgers, or even their fries… or even their wings… and the list goes on and on! They also host a variety of beers on tap and also of cocktails as well. I highly recommend you give this place a try if you’re trying to put together some type of party, they’re very accommodating and extremely flexible!

McGraw’s Bar is ran by a Scottish couple. No, it’s not an Irish bar. It is a pleasant place to socialize over chicken tenders and a pitcher of beer. It’s a very pubb-y bar with shuffleboards, darts, & foosball. Eateries over burgers, chili cheese fries, mozzarella sticks. It’s not too shabby for a pub bar. It’s a place to socialize with friends whenever in the area. If this makes it convenient for you, there’s a CalTrain across the bar, so no need to worry about getting a DUI if you plan on taking the train drunk. Interesting thing I found… the chalkboard in the restroom above the urinals allows for some interesting artwork.
