Faith & Spirits

Michael Armendariz

I love Faith and Spirits! The dueling pianos are a lot of fun and they always do a great job of engaging the crowd. But what brings me back is the cocktails. They have some excellent bartenders making fantastic drinks. It is a great place to people watch as well, always amazed by the variety of people.

Inviting and chill atmosphere, great drinks, awesome staff and wonderful piano players. Super fun place to relax and blow off some steam.

Had a great time! Was able to reserve a table outside for an early gathering. We were able to watch amazing live music outside, had awesome cocktail, beer & wine selections and appetizers to choose from next door. Tables under a canopy with excellant service. Definitely going back!!!

Do you like live music? Check. Dueling pianists that take amazing requests from everything between cardi b and Elton John? Check. Do you like amazing cocktails? Check. Amazing atmosphere with seriously great male AND female bathrooms? Cheeeeck. Amazing service? Check and CHECK. This is an awesome place for a celebration, a first date, a work engagement as well as a great Tuesday or an awesome Friday. Also, they allow furry friends during the day! My boyfriend and I loved it and loved returning back to it! Do yourself a favor and head straight there!

Great place with good good and drinks. The dueling pianos and karaoke was great

Great entertainment and even better drinks. Truly the only craft cocktail bar in the peninsula. Burlingame, San Mateo, etc. do not compare.

Great mellow atmosphere and looks like they have some cool dueling pianos playing soon. They have a great liquor selection, but not too many wine choices. They also offer some good appetizers, provided by the restaurant next door. I will definitely be going back again.

Dueling piano bar with craft cocktails, comfy seating, great atmopshere, talented bartenders, and good performers - it's tough not to like Faith & Spirits! The crowd is also very eclectic, with a healthy spattering of the young and old alike. Who doesn't love live music, especially when they'll make you a custom rendition of your favorite song for a few bucks?

Came into town for boba, ended up here because the indoor area was all dark and mysterious, and then you can see a stage in the back that's beautifully lit. Anyways, wow, drinks were A++. Bittersweet Affair and Island Drizzle, they were the recommended ones and they did not disappoint. We liked the music selection - it was covers to top 2000's hits. Also, it was recommended to check them out from Tues-Sat for live music, so I would come back for that. Service was friendly and prompt, even though it was a good amount of busy.

Just stopped in for drinks so I cannot comment on food, this time, but the potential of this place looks amazing as where else do you see a dual piano? They had live music playing in the front, he was amazing. I look forward to going back.

Fun spot for karaoke/on a Saturday night. They do live music with some really fun musicians.

Nice little bar in San Carlos. They have outside and inside seating. Nice vibe, drinks are okay.

Nice little place in downtown’s San Carlos, nice live music & amazing drinks It was a pleasure to visit 🙏🏼

Swanky and cool for drinks and apps. Great selection of bourbons. Piano entertainment thats really fun - good looking people!

I can't believe I've never visited F&S in the past 6 years living in San Carlos. I must've walked by it thousands of times by now but never did it cross my mind to step in. What a wonderful cocktail bar. Classy interior. Good selection of hard liquor. Very chill. And apparently live music on Thu/Fri/Sat. I happened to stop by on a weekday (Monday) so understandably the bar was quite empty but I could easy imagine a great happening location. I wish the prices were a bit cheaper though... but understandably Bay Area.

Great spot, good bartenders, great drinks. Crowd is all over the place, not that that's a bad thing. Just odd. Wait for drinks can be long on a busy night, but just enjoy the crowd and the great musicians and be glad we have a place like this in San Carlos!

Live music is OK. Other patrons seem to dig it but I thought it was just ok. Loud and not that engaging. The performers are cool and try to involve the customers but in the end aren't that great singers. Could be fun if you know all the songs maybe? I get bored quickly as you can't talk with friends and how many songs can you listen to?

Zero stars if I could. I had an extremely unpleasant experience here. My girlfriend, her friend, and I were initially allowed inside, but moments later staff told us it was a “corporate event.” While the two of them were chatting with attendees, I was just standing nearby when multiple employees surrounded us, making me feel uncomfortable. As I was preparing to leave on my own, one female employee—who was completely unprofessional—interjected, cursed at me, and even gave me the middle finger in front of other staff and customers. She then continued to yell at me outside in the bar’s patio area. This type of behavior is unacceptable and reflects a serious lack of professionalism and training. Management needs to investigate and hold staff accountable—no guest deserves to be treated that way.
