American Legion Coastside Post 474 · Half Moon Bay • Free

Sunday afternoons at this San Francisco American Legion Post mean live tunes, cold beers, and swapping stories with locals and veterans alike. The harbor is steps away, the patio is sunny, and everyone's welcome: even the "Members Only" sign is just for show.

Karaoke at Cameron’s Pub

Karaoke at Cameron’s Pub

Cameron's Pub & Restaurant · Half Moon Bay • $$

A British pub complete with a double-decker bus on the California coast. Grab fish and chips or lobster mac and cheese, then settle into the red bus with a pint for pure seaside whimsy.

Global Soccer Game Watch Parties

Global Soccer Game Watch Parties

Jack's · Central San Jose • Free

Neighborhood bars transform into rowdy fan zones where strangers become friends over pints and penalty kicks. Jack's Bar in particular channels serious "futbol" energy with Euro league banners and a crowd that lives for the beautiful game.

Dutch Goose

Dutch Goose

University Heights • $$

This old-school dive has been pouring beers and flipping burgers since 1966, with a big beer garden, pool table, and TVs tuned to Bay Area sports. Expect families, locals, and a lively, no-frills vibe.

Poor House Bistro

Poor House Bistro

Little Italy • $$

Step into a little slice of New Orleans where blues riffs drift across the patio and po'boys arrive messy, hot, and proper. The Poor House Bistro feeds both your hunger and your need for a genuine, unpretentious good time.

Heritage Pub and Chop House

Heritage Pub and Chop House

Los Gatos • $$

Irish pub meets chophouse in the historic La Cañada Building, serving comforting classics like Fish and Chips, Shepherd's Pie, and the much-loved Heritage Burger alongside seasonal chops and prime rib nights.

Frequently asked questions

How are these pubs in the South Bay chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
