I think the peppertree owners have a great group of daytime bartenders. Walter, Andrea, Celie, and Reana are all very professional, personable and just fun to hang out with. I thinkthe owners would be very smart to take good care of this group. They work hard for there tips and make great money for the Bar.

Only thing good there are the bartenders. Very courteous and personable. I see that Google says its temporarily closed. New ownership decided to spruce the place up but set up all these new rules and regulations. No outside food or beverages.Bathrooms are always out of order ( ONE OF THEM)and not always with toilet paper. Got rid of the Sunday Karaoke. The DJ was great. Sundays were like my Saturday nights, needed a close place to go and kick it.Fired the good security guard that knew everyone and kept the place safe. New securitydoesnt check for ID, weapons... ( no judgements) Definitely like the reviews above stated, dont go in without friends. Besides music and the pool tables there is nothing to do.

The DJ and the staff were pretty nice and friendly but do not come here without friends... The crowd was pretty boring. The dance floor had just one or two drunk people dancing but thats it. Definitely a good choice if you want to go with a few friends, play pool, or bar games and grab some reasonably priced drinks...

This place is legit when you want to go to a bar that isnt crowded, plays good music, a diverse crowd and in a plaza.I would give 5 stars but this past weekend, I felt like my drinks were made by someone who had no clue on how to make a whiskey and coke.I came to this place two months ago and drinks were in a much bigger cup (plastic cups) and last weekend they were in those regular cocktail glasses. Keep it consistent!TRAIN YOUR BARTENDERS!

Union City Monday Night Comedy! There is a comedy show every Monday from 8pm - 10pm. At the show you can watch the up and coming comedians from the bay area work on their material. Some nights it is an open mic so anyone can sign up.

Was just kicked out by their security from being accused of trying to start a fight when we just walked in less than 20 mins ago. PAID FOR A DRINK and was walked up on by one of the security guards VERY aggressively might I add. Saw he was taking shots at the door as well. At least my drink was made with kindness from Rachel, thank you for your assistance tonight. Oh yeah, it was our first time coming to support the business. RUINED.

Came in just to reevaluate a few things, personally, and found it peaceful and the crowd kept to themselves. The bartender was not bothersome bit she consistently checked up on me as I kept to myself. Great place!

It was a cool, low-key vibe. They had an outdoor space you could smoke at with tvs, but it was small back there. If we wanted to get a table and celebrate a birthday, I feel like I could do that there. Low-key vibe with some friends.

Review №12

Felt like I was getting arrested when I was asked to turn around and spread my arms with security when trying to walk in. Sucks the business has to do that to protect themselves but not good for business.I got inside and ordered a beer. The bartender was plenty nice and welcoming, however they didnt have Google pay or an ATM. So, they sent me across the street to an ATM at Quickstop but Id rather not get searched again to go into the bar so I didnt go back.They also dont serve food there. Ill have to find myself a better local bar. They have the potential but I guess the area is too bad.

I had so much fun for my b-day celebration! No problems, just everyone dancing, playing pool, drinking at the bar, or smoking in the back. Just fun, fun, fun! And the Live DJ was jamming!

Great lounge! 2 pool tables, dancing, open mic night, karaoke night. Excellent service, the owner Kacey is great, shes a firecracker, her son Chris is a great guy, as is the other night bartender, Pete. All the bartenders are great, and theres a great mix of regulars, as well. Very friendly place.

Drinks are awesome. Security does a good job of maintaining the peace. Bartenders are friendly. Only bad thing is the old and young homeboys mugging and trying to be nosey. So the regular clientele arent as welcoming or cool. This is a neighborhood dive bar. Still a good Friday Night out though. DJs on Friday Nights play local rap and Mac Dre and stuff. No Girls here though.

Good music. On Thursdays they place house /techno on Friday and Saturday its back to rap and top 40 s. I like it for a neighborhood bar, but the crowd can be limited if youre trying to meet people

I wondered out of my town And was looking for a chill spot. Then I just happen to come across this little peach of a place. Now dont let thee outside looks have any effect on you. You walk up to those double green doors and could immediately hear the liveliness and fun In there. So I took a deep breath and slowly opened the doors, I was pleasantly surprised this jewel was bright in colors great music, neon lights , it had to pool tables to the right when you walk in then to the left is the bar , a dance floor in the middle with DJ, Male and female bathrooms and the real party is in the back smokin area. I will come back to this place for the people and bartender as well the owner chris is an awesome guy if your new I suggest you go say hi first Im sure he likes it. So come on out peoples go beyond your norm take a chance, lets make tonight fun and gather around the peppertree. See you there barmies.. ( ou thats like your bar homie you barmie haha

Every good Non-fiction story has an end. In my opinion, the hardest part is deciding on an optimal beginning. Personally, I am indecisive. but like Gwen Stefani said, “Dis my shit” Celebrating my bday went down beyond my most optimistic expectations. I wore a crown all. night, but if it was a sethoscope I would have parience.I was in high school during the hyphy movement. So I have to say that this place is crackin’. Always crackin’!Mon: Occasional Roast Competition. Open mic comedy 8-10Tues and Wednes: Karaoke hosted by KJ Nor-Nor and Richie Rich 9-1am Always a good timeThurs - Sun: DJ music- Thurs-Sat: The latest/classic bangers that fill the dance floor. Sun: Old school that makes you feel like a young James Brown.In conclusion (remember using this for last minute papers?) if you have never been here, go. No need to change who you are, just.....go. If you don’t have a good time, that’s ok, it was just an off-night. But if and when you do, be sure to tell people why you had an amazing night.Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Peppertree Lounge.

I am new to Bay Area and this is the best place so far I visited.Great music,amazing drinks.All bartenders here are so nice to their customers.And the best part about this place is owner Casey I just love her she is so nice and humble to eveyone.She responds eveyone politely and patiently even though she is busy and the bar is packed.One day she was kind enough to share her own food when I was freakin hungry which is really sweeet :) 100% recommended !!
