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.

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.
