Buddha Lounge
251 Castro Street, Mountain View, California; Tel. 650.969.4847
You can kick back and meditate over a few cocktails provided by the friendly bartenders at the Buddha Lounge in Mountain View at one of their two bars that are better than sitting on the stone under the waterfall other buddhas had to compete with. The hip loungey vibe goes perfectly with the small, cozy space and the tiny dance floor in the back comes complete with neon-lit cubes for ladies to dance on. As a local dance club and hipster lounge, the Buddha Lounge finally fills that niche in Mountain View that clubbers have been yearning for.
Molly Magee's
241 Castro Street, Mountain View, California; Tel. 650.961.0108
On tap Irish beer flows at Molly Magee's in Mountain View as freely as the good times at this local bar fave. There's a pool table and TVs to provide distractions during the week, but those are completely kicked aside on the weekends when Molly Magee's gets to be a down right raucous party scene.
Office Bar
820 El Camino Real, Mountain View, California; Tel. 650.969.2098
Definitely on our dive bar crawl list, just the excuse factor of the name alone does it, the Office Bar in Mountain View has those quirky touches that you just can't find at your cookie-cutter bars that are popping up everywhere, like the supreme lack of windows so prying eyes can't see in and the time you've been camped on the bar stool gets blissfully blurred, or the full suit of armor standing guard over the liquor. Four nights a week, the Office Bar plays host to the local lung monkeys for some belt it out loud karaoke and if you're not into this wholly embarrassing, but totally fun phenomenon this local Mountain View bar also has pool, darts and pinball... blessed pinball.
St. Stephen's Green
223 Castro Street, Mountain View, California; Tel. 650.964.9151
There's gotta be some reasons, other than the obvious one of being an alcoholic, why we always end up downing Guinness and whiskey in Irish pubs and St. Stephen's Green in Mountain View embodies all of them. This local bar has the friendliest bartenders always quick with a joke or another shot to make you feel right at home, the grub is down home Irish with all of your heart stopping favorites and there's even Irish dancing lessons offered—which we would never partake in, but they're nice to see nonetheless. Also, St. Stephen's Green gets packed with the partying Mountain View bar masses bumpin' away on the dance floor to some decidedly un-Irish music... oh wait, House of Pain's Irish, aren't they?
Tied House Café and Brewery
954 Villa Street, Mountain View, California; Tel. 650.965.2739
The Tied House Café and Brewery in Mountain View takes full advantage of the microbrew craze and packages it with good food in a killer setting to keep the local bar crawlers and diners coming back. Usually they offer at least eight house beers on tap and one of 12 specialty brews that are dependent on the season—you have to swill some of the Spring Maibock which is the stuff of Mountain View bar legend—all of which you can enjoy inside or on the beer garden patio.
Ugly's
1313 El Camino Real, Mountain View, California; Tel. 650.965.8255
Our favorite dive bar in Mountain View—and really that should be enough to write, but our boss pays us by the word and living in the valley ain't cheap—Ugly's, started by a couple of local girls, has all the amenities of your classic dive bar: Pabst on tap, cheap, strong drinks and plenty of attitude. The walls and bar are adorned with any and every kitschy thing you'd find at a garage sale and Ugly's carries their 'tude over into weekly and holiday specials like the anti-Valentine's Day party that takes out its' frustrations and penalizes you smug couple types or the 6/9 party on June 9th, which should be self explanatory. So, if you're thinking about hitting a local bar in Mountain View hit Ugly's and if our endorsement means nothing then shame on you... either that or we're just not doing our job, in which case we hope to get paid anyway.
