The Double Standard

I love this place. The decor outside is absolutely on point. The seating around the redwood tree is beautiful. Their selection of alcohol is wonderful and you should stop in and enjoy.

Even before the pandemic, The Double Standard was always a great spot to meet up, whether for birthday outings, watching the Dubs continue to maintain excellence, or just to drink and have a good time. Since the pandemic, some things have changed. Here's the breakdown: Ambiance - The outdoor patio has changed, with additional tables, lights, chairs and TVs (!) to watch basketball or football games at. There are still a couple of small tables and TVs in the inside if you prefer that, but don't be surprised if you find yourself standing either way. This place usually gets packed quick. A mixture of hip-hop/R&B usually plays in the background (which I always appreciate). Drinks - cocktails fall between $10-13, depending on what they offer. I'm always a fan of the Pimm's Cups the bartenders make here personally. Beers are standard Bay Area pricing ($5-9). Just a few notes I've learned over the past several visits: - during First Fridays or Warriors playoff watch parties, they will charge a $5 cover per person, regardless of how early you get there (I went at 4pm). - If you ever want a large group of you to save a seat, get there early. Like 5pm at most. Especially if game day or First Fridays, as there were already several groups saving tables and all. - They're pretty chill with you bringing in food from outside, since they don't offer food. I ended up grabbing burritos from across the street at Burrito Express while watching the Warriors win the Finals this year there Overall, some things have changed, but some haven't changed for the better. I'll always drop by for a few drinks when I'm in the area with friends Here's to ring no. 4 for our Warriors... Cheers!
