Quick, cheap burger place on NASA's campus. When trying to get onto the campus, you just need to show your driver's license and say that you're going to The SpaceBar. The impossible burger was great (although not as meat-like as I thought it would be). Garlic fries were crunchy and delicious.

You do not need to be a NASA employee to get in! All you need is a drivers license to get through the gate. This is an amazing place. Good food and drinks. Great beer selection, and very inexpensive!

Natasha Stavros

For a restaurant on government property, I haven't had better. The meeting is a bit funky through an iPad, but I figured it out in the end. Their fries are heavenly!

Rare find in Silicon Valley, NASA local cafeteria style food with a bar that is open mid day to evening. Guard shack will let you in, after show drivers license and tell them you are headed to at Space Bar

It's really good and I enjoyed myself

The space bar is the best place to grab food in Nasa Ames Research Park. The burgers, fries and sandwiches are awesome and you have a lot of options to choose from and also the staff are very helpful and there is plenty of space inside and outside in order to enjoy onself.

The food was yummy and quick, the beer selection was good. Pretty much can't go wrong with NASA bar. Awesome.

I love the burgers there. Customizable, tasty and affordable. (Sadly, they only serve lunch, no breakfast).

Awesome - surprisingly good - great food, good service, simple menu with option combinations it'd take all year to try... great find!

No tax on beer since it is federal property. Buy a growler and get superb craft beer SUPER cheap! Custom burgers and subs are super good! Thursday and Friday are happy hour prices and have great happy hour food! All while sitting at hangar one looking at awesome jets at NASA!

Inside the NASA Ames facilities, the Space bar has tipical food shared with authentic NASA and USAF pilots. Also a good selection of spirits, not commom in places for food.

J
Joe Centineo

Friendly staff with a decent comfort food menu, and nicely stocked bar of liquors and beers on tap. NASA TV was playing, but other then that not much of a space theme that was expected. They do have souvenir shot glasses for sale to show you visited the research center.

J
John “Astrogator John” Carrico

Really good drinks, draft beer, and good pub food. Just show your dirvers license at the gate to Moffett (Just the driver needs to show their license), and tell them you are going to the space bar... then drive straight back almost all the way to Hanger 1. It's a typical spot for NASA and New Space folks to hang out. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Amazing to eat here. But maybe I was just hyped about being able to visit NASA. Either way, 5*.

I don’t come here for the food. But the atmosphere, service, and beer selection is awesome. They are always making their best effort to make this a great place to hang out.

R
Rebekah Coombes

Staff are friendly and build connections with regulars, the atmosphere and music takes you right into the Space Race era, and the food is excellent! Be sure to bring a phone since ordering is done online.

B
Bill Metz

Chill, casual atmosphere, good (but somewhat limited selection of) pub grub, great sandwiches and daily specials, and an excellent, ever-changing selection of microbrews. Would love to see a selection of healthier munchies (pretty much everything is deep fried; even steamed broccoli with cheese sauce, or chips and salsa would be healthier and still go well with beer). Other than that, a great place to unwind after a day of space research.

Curtis Barrett

Great spot to get fast food and have a beer while checking out the museum and hanger.

We love The SpaceBar and have been eating here for 2 years. It has indoor and outdoor seating, an alcohol bar and Peet's coffee bar. You can order smoothies also. On the food side are amazing burgers (made fresh to order), huge salads, old Bay fries, onion rings...you get the idea ;) There are daily specials, soda fountain, video games, streaming news, cold brew, good company... It's just all around great ;) Parking is plenty and free. It is on Moffet Airfield so have a government ID ready.

Great food. Good beer. Well thought-out mixed drinks. Diner atmosphere. Friendly staff. It’s a gem of down to earth reality in this particular valley.

I frequently attend happy hours here, and the beer selection is great. The bartenders are welcoming and go out of their way to make the service great. I ordered a NASA Spacebar pint glass for my beer and the bartender rinsed and iced the glass before carefully pouring my beer to the rim with the optimal amount of head. Attention to detail is on point here, and I'm glad for service like this.

Go for the bar. This is on NASA Ames Research Park grounds, must go through HS checkpoint and present ID. Bar has surprisingly great prices and selection! The bartender, 'Dragon' makes his own coffee liquor! Food is snack bar fare.

This little place at Moffet Field is a hidden gem, good sandwiches, fries etc. And beer!

Very modern way to order food, not too pricey, does get quite loud around lunch time.

Great spot for after work beers, cheap stuff, but a bit missing in the atmosphere

Good burger, nice atmosphere; just close a bit early.

An interesting place to stop for lunch if you’re at Moffet Field. And it has a dog friend patio. The bar was closed on the Wednesday we went, but the grill was open. This was apparently the former Officers Club building and sits across from the looming Hangar One. Both the patty melt and Philly cheesesteak were tasty. Don’t miss the Moffet Field Museum across the street.

Only food options available inside NASA Ames. Located in the NASA research park. Good for a quick lunch, Daily specials available.

Our only option for hot food on campus. Juan cooks up good food. I don't like way they force you to use the ordering app.

J
Josh Bowman

Friendly service and definitely a way more time effective option than eating off-site when visiting Ames. Guests that have visited Ames have always enjoyed the food and the friendly service from the cooks. Plenty of options for ordering and payments and a good selection for a quick lunch

It is basically a self-serve place. For breakfast, you microwave your own sandwiches. It is very bare bones.

Finally back open, nothing special here. Just quick easy food on the installation.

It's a cafeteria that serves beer. $7 a can/pint, some hot food, and some food in the fridge. Not a whole lot of people and most older guys. They serve curly fries and onion rings fresh. I would pass on the onion rings tho.

I HATE the combination of Internet menus with lousy wifi and bad cell service. On the other hand, many beers on tap, so I mellowed out quickly. Food is typical lunch counter grill food.

This is just a cute little cafe at NASA Ames Research Park. I do not recommend the food here. However they have a great full bar a terrific bartender named dragon and a swell selection of on top brews.

I ordered a roast chicken salad and expected actual roast chicken but it was more like sandwich meat. The salad wasn't bad but it wasn't worth $10 .

Two stars because it's close to work but that's about it the prices have gone up and the portions have gone down the food used to be really good but since they raised the prices the quality of the food has seemed to have suffered.

I was just a hungry contractor trying to get a meal....didn't happen..no help. If you don't work there, your ignored. I was. I just walked out.
