Inside Farrington's
Farrington’s in Pleasant Hill is the kind of sports bar where the atmosphere shifts smoothly from laid-back daytime watering hole to lively evening hangout. Located right on Contra Costa Boulevard, it’s easy to park with well-lit spots right up front, which makes dropping by for a quick game or longer night hassle-free.
This spot draws a crowd that appreciates straightforward fun: plenty of pool tables and dart boards give something to do between sips, and there’s a dedicated area with recliners lined up facing a big screen TV—perfect for catching the game without losing a beat. The bar doesn’t serve food, but bringing your own grub is encouraged, with local pizza deliveries like Mountain Mike’s happily teamed up with your drinks.
The drink menu leans heavily on classic bar staples like beer (including Pabst Blue Ribbon and Corona) and cocktails such as Bloody Marys and Mudslides. The bartenders stand out here—not just for mixing a solid drink but for their personalities. Locals speak fondly of Angie, known for her cocktails, and Hailey, who’s built quite the reputation around East Bay watering holes. Their friendly, attentive presence shapes a space where many regulars feel like part of a community rather than just patrons.
Evenings bring in a different vibe, often buoyed by live music or karaoke nights that get folks up and mingling. Whether you want to unwind with a drink and a pool game after work or dance along to a local rock band on a Saturday night, Farrington's easily adapts to both moods. It’s less about slick decor and more about easygoing company and solid drinks at prices that keep people coming back.
If you’re comfortable in a sports-bar setting that welcomes a mix of neighbors, music lovers, and casual competitors, especially later in the week, Farrington’s delivers a familiar, unpretentious spot to relax and connect.
