I only heard about Chris' New Harbor Bar a few weeks ago as a Thursday night karaoke bar. Then found its owned by a Greek-American family that was celebrating Greek Independence Day that next Saturday. As I'm also Greek American I had to check it out. I like to say I support my own. The bar isn't a restaurant but George (the owner) and his family went out of their way to cook a feast of lamb, trigona, pastitsio (Greek lasagna), rice and traditional Greek salad, not to mention the blue tinted Ouzo flowed like water with a DJ playing modern and traditional Greek music. The house was full of Chris' regulars all having a great time. Even as it was my first visit I never felt out of place and all the clientele was welcoming and friendly. So, the following Thursday I made the 40 minute trek back from San Ramon for Karaoke night. Again, more regulars and most with pretty good voices. I had read several reviews about Chris' New Harbor Bar before my first visit. While most were happy regulars and cheerful first timers there were a few cranky patrons who just put it down as a dive bar and didn't like anything about it. As I mentioned earlier, I support my own, but I support any establishment that celebrates it's founding culture and goes out of it's way to put on a spread as George and family did the weekend before. And when you walk in it's a very American establishment, no one feels out of place. This is what a local bar is all about. My Thumbs Up to Chris' New Harbor Bar!
Local dive bar that... were you go to see your friends and be greeted with a smile. Bartenders are friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Pinball, pool or just take a seat at the bar. Chris and George are the best. Check it out. I give them 5 stars.
One more time I had to encounter the worst service. If you’re descent person who likes good service, this place isn’t for you. Worst customer service. However, overall the place is descent and clean with worst customer service.
Family run place, excellent service and very reasonable prices.
I stopped in randomly to have a drink with a friend. It's a neat little spot. I understand that they have food trucks parked outside sometimes, and sometimes they have live music. It seemed friendly enough, and they made good drinks. I'll probably stop in again.
The atmosphere is great and had a great time trying the pool.
