Highlands Sports Bar & Grill - San Carlos, California

Maureen Newman

Still in the soft opening phase, had a great time. It's the perfect spot to watch the game with TV's on every wall, but it's not distracting if you're just there to have a good time with friends. The menu is rather full for a soft opening, and I was so happy to see an abundance of "GF" and "VEG" on the menu without having to ask. Our waitress was super friendly, and our food came out at a very reasonable pace considering how busy it was. Looking forward to how this place progresses!

The food needs some work. My salad with chicken and shrimp was only OK, and it was $30. Service was pretty good. Chips and guacamole was a rip off. TVs are cool with lots of seating.

Came here for dinner, had the mango habenero wings (sub tenders), and the hot honey & ricotta pizza.
10/10 for the wings, great flavor, and crispyness. The pizza was a 5/10, not my favorite, but the flavor was there. There was a delay in our food coming, but our server Danny was very accommodating and kind. Would come again!

Went to Sneakers over the years until they went belly-up, then decided to try and visit Highlands. Didn't really notice any difference whatsoever from Sneakers even though Highlands seemed to undergo renovations while it was in transition. When sitting at the bar, 2 major things I noticed was fruit flies have infested the bar/beer taps, and 1/4 of their beer taps were gone. Fruit flies tells me they need to clean out their lines and sanitize everything daily. Was going to order some food to-go but the fruit flies grossed me out so decided not to. Also the bartender wouldn't say 1 single word to me the entire time, but instead gave me weird stares. I also gave him a substantially good tip, because I believe in good tipping from previously working in the service industry, and he again didn't say anything, not even a simple "thank you". Wouldn't come back, which is a shame because there's not too many good sports bars around the area.

Attending a soft opening tonight and was so delightfully surprised. Was so busy but they handled the massive crowd beautifully. Food was fantastic and drinks were great! They have a huge selection of both. What stood out to me in particular was that the wine was served in a Ridel stem glass instead of your typical sports bar type wine glass! Very impressed. Also super kid friendly and lots of TVs!

My server Dominique gave us a wonderful experience at Highlands on a rainy Friday evening. A new place, yet feels cozy and familiar. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great sports bar with a wonderful selection of beer.

Same as the old place but with a new name over the bar.

Went in for lunch recently with some friends. Place was empty, music playing over their speaker system was too loud, service was on the slow side, and food was just ok. I understand that nothing is inexpensive these days and that the owners need to make money, but given the price we paid I expected a lot more, especially when there are better, more affordable options in the area. Maybe it's growing pains given they are new so am hoping they sort things out and are able to get a good following.

Update Oct. 13. Spoke with the manager. They had a payment problem with their sports package - all good now, Big Ten Network available.

No Big 10 Network!! Huge sports bar with limited TV sports package!! They didn't have our game and several others, so we left. Expect this place to be fairly empty.
