Was in San Bruno on a Thursday evening and we ordered take out but wanted to hang out more so I looked up any bars or dive bars around. I called and asked if we can bring in outside food and I think the Irish Owner answered and he said yeah sure you can bring whatever you like. So we brought out Korean fried chicken close to around 9pm and pretty much had the whole place to ourselves in the beginning. He let us turn the lights on by the table and Christmas tree and we started with beers to go with our Korean fried chicken. And we later ordered shots. It looks like they have usuals that go there. They have a pool table and play pretty good music and it wasn’t so loud. There weren’t any other places open around it and it felt really safe, there was street parking right out front. So the best of both worlds to catch up and grab a drink with friends, plus for being able to bring outside food. The owner worker was so friendly and inviting.

My favorite kind of dive bar - dim lighting, cheap drinks and strong pours, and full of regulars nursing their beers and chatting with the bartender like old friends.

Bar and karaoke. It’s free to sing but it’s better to tip the karaoke operator. People here are friendly and nice!

Great dive! Wandered in here wasting time before returning my rental car and flying out of SFO. Perfect place! Exactly what I was looking for.

I stopped by to help a friend close. Definitely a cool vibe. Gives you a cheers, dive vibe, yet don't need a tetanus shot after being there. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a spot to relax watch a game, play pool, have a drink or two

Well-established local watering hole! Fantastic! Greeted by the locals upon entering. Good conversations with men and women! Excellent working class, blue-collar place. Rates great! Service great! Friendly for my taste! Maybe more old school, but worth checking out! Enjoy!

Solid dive bar. Friendly bartenders. Cool atmosphere. Great music. Very reasonably priced drinks, especially given it’s the Bay Area. Not much else you could ask for!

Crazy amounts of history and a super legit current crew make this place a winner for me. The hospitality was so good, I'll make a point of coming back next time I'm in the States. Thanks Nicky.

Enjoy seeing the locals here and I always have a good time with friends whenever I go visit Newell's. They got a pool table and a jukebox to pick songs as well!

We visited early in the evening on a Saturday. Main reason we chose this pace is it was a short walk from our hotel. Lucky for us, as it turns out, this is the quintessential neighborhood dive bar, where everybody knows your name. Our bartender was very friendly as were all of the patrons we met. We have one more night in San Bruno so after we do our touristy stuff in SF we will finish our night here!

Stopped in to Newell's for a pre dinner drink. We just kind of stumbled on this place. How does one know where to get a good cocktail when you're an out of towner!? Well let me tell you about Newell's.. The bartender was fabulous! She wasn't even sure what a certain drink was but she more than nailed it! It was right on! My Cadillac margarita was potent! I managed to wobble out of there to my next destination.. but barely! They do not serve food but our sweet bartender brought popcorn in order to save me embarrassment! It was a fun experience and I think I may have to return!

Not a safe space for LGBTQ+. Worst bartender ever. Proudly not a drinker herself, and cut me off inexplicably because she decided that I couldn’t drive, despite my confirmation that I was only using Uber. Also I was shut out from the pool table.I wanted to support businesses local to SFO but it’s clear that this business does not care for my support. AVOID AT ALL COSTS Felt like discrimination because I had disclosed my LGBTQ status.
