I don’t go to First and Main Sports Lounge because it’s the only bar in Los Altos, I go because…well…ok, fine. I go because it is the only bar in Los Altos (and one of the few places open past 8pm) BUT I actually like going there.
When there is a sporting event on - an intense Sharks game, NBA finals, or the World Cup - it’s a fun place to be. It can get pretty packed which makes it more entertaining.
I tend to meet people here for appetizers and drinks. I generally find that it’s not that crowded and therefore quiet. I can have a conversation with the person(s) I’m meeting and enjoy a beer (they have Blue Moon on tap!). Their food is pretty good as well. I would recommend any of the following: Chinese Chicken Salad, burgers, BBQ Chicken Salad, Molten Mac & Cheese, and Garlic Fries.
I would recommend this bar because it’s classier than most bars and clean. I’ve seen a trend of people coming here for a few drinks and then heading to downtown Palo Alto because it’s less crowded. This is a place worth checking out!
