Grand Dell Saloon

Loved this place. Love the music. It was perfect. So sad to see it has closed. Find a new location and come back.

The Grand Dell is now closed :(That is the reason for the 1 star… prior to closing it would have gotten 5 stars — it was a great place to hang out. We’ll miss you!

Like the blues? Like beer? Like dark bars? Then you’ll probably like the Dell.
The Dell is a great place to listen to the blues live. On Thursday night it’s jam night, Friday and Saturday are band nights. There’s no cover and on the Saturday night we were there, there was no problem getting a table. From what I understand it does get pretty packed though on Jam Night. Wanna play some games? Shuffleboard and darts to the rescue.
Another good reason to visit on Saturday night? All you can eat BBQ at $ 10.00 a plate. Help yourself to BBQ’ed tri-​tip, chicken, potato salad, green salad and rolls. It might not be fine dining but it’s decent. Plus all that food will help absorb the alcohol you’re about to consume. They also have a regular menu if BBQ isn’t your thing.
Ambiance wise, well the Dell hovers on the verge of «dive bar-​ness». It’s clean, it’s well-​lit but there are no windows and a number of the regulars are rather … grizzled. There’s only one stall in the ladies room so girls, don’t be drinkin’ all that beer and waiting until the last moment to go. That’s how accidents happen.
Although they have a full bar you’ll probably want to stick with beer, wine or simple cocktails. Incredibly nice as the bartenders might be, they sort of flounder with anything more difficult than a scotch and soda.
Also, it’s cash only for any purchase under $ 15.00. There’s an ATM on-​site but still, it’s a hassle. Which is why The Dell gets 4 stars instead of 5.

Get here by 7pm to get a table for the music. Food is alright but great music good environment. Prices are affordable especially given no cover charge.
Cool local crowd. A fun night in Campbell CA.

Not sure how I found this place but glad I did. Like someone mentioned in another review this really is a great little secret here in Campbell. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bartenders are awesome.
Live music too. Can’t beat that.

Best kept secret in Campbell!
We took my Dad here for his birthday recently and I wish I could give 10 stars.
Parking — great parking lot or on the nearby street
Food — we went for the $ 10 bbq on Sat night. Let me just say, they could easily charge more for this. It’s that good. The chicken, tri-​tip, potato salad and regular salad were amazing. Seriously. go there for this and thank them all for making you food.
Music — SO good. Minus some small sound issues, it’s a great place for live blues.
We arrived early. 6:30 and grabbed a table. Food was served promptly at 7pm and the music started promptly at 8. The bar filled up fast as it is a pretty small inside.
The crowd is great. Locals, diverse and not a lot of riff raff. Just people who enjoy great music and a great hidden location.
Guinness on tap.
Two HUGE thumbs up! I can’t wait to go again.

Campbells best kept secret!

Housed in a nondescript building in an industrial area of Campbell is a fabulous gem.
Quite the opposite of the trendy bars and restaurants in Santana Row. Come here to relax, enjoy a great meal, fun company and good live music.
Saturday nights, they have all you can eat BBQ tri-​tip at $ 10 per person. Come early to partake as they have a tendency to run out early. Stay for entertainment — they draw blues bands from all over.
No cover charge for the entertainment and I love that they have a security patrol in the parking lot.

We were lured to the Grand Dell Saloon for the first time a couple of weeks ago when Jinx Jones played there on a Friday night. It was a bit of a haul from the East Bay, but took no longer than one of our our semi-​frequent drives to SF or Sonoma County for entertainment, and was definitely worth it. The music was great (of course), but we were pleasantly surprised that we very much liked the venue, the dance floor, the friendly crowd, the fine drinks, the tasty food, and the attentive bartenders! It turned into one of those «we almost didn’t go, but we’re so glad we did» nights. We even danced a few. They have an impressive music calendar, so I’m sure we’ll be back.

Good food, good music and good company. Service is lousy though…

So today was my first time at this place we came for a surprise birthday breakfast. We pull up and my thoughts were wtf is this place? Who comes here? There’s 3 cars in the parking lot and they have to be the workers. It looks like a place on wrong turn an abandon place that u walk in and ask for directions then don’t come out haha.
Well I was wrong, this is by far the best breakfast I had. The bartender was super nice we had bloody Mary’s soo good and I had bad experiences with those I was scared to try again. The food was absolutely amazing eggs over medium with bacon, potatoes n toast. Only complaint was next time I want more potatoes lol and the chef said next time just ask :). The staff was super nice from the waitress, bartender, cook and the owner himself. I will make the time to come here at least once a month, and I recommend everyone try this place out.

Great little bar, quite and out of the way. Only been in here 4 or 5 times but every time was pleasant. Very friendly staff, nice strong drinks. Check out the buffet when they have them, excellent food!!!

Unilocal says 4-​stars is «Yay! I’m a fan.» and that doesn’t really describe my experience at the Grand Dell Saloon. However, as a girl in her early 30s, I also don’t think I am the audience that this bar was aiming to please so while I am not going to hate on this spot, it wasn’t for me.
The bar had a live band playing on Friday night. There was no cover which is always a plus in my book. But the band was so loud that I could barely hear the person yelling into my ear, thus conversing was limited. And the music ranged in decades but never got newer than the 80s, which was probably fine with the crowd of fans who were dancing and swaying along to the music. This place was happening!
The drinks were delicious, the bartenders were reasonably timely given the crowd, but the drinks aren’t anything special and the prices are about the same as they are downtown unless I missed a late night special.
Transportation would be difficult unless you have a ride, so be careful and pick a DD before showing up. I like to frequent bars where I feel safe walking the streets to catch a bus, and I was a little intimidated by the industrial setting.
Overall, an average bar with a lot of local fans. However, I am probably not going out of my way to come back, at least for another ten years when I will better fit the demographic.

off the hook good music, great food at the «all you can eat BBQ» on Saturday nights.
And there’s Guiness on tap. Mellow older crowd, mix of younger people. The fact that it’s out of the way keeps the riff raff out too.
So if you just want a no nonsense good time, with good people and great music/​food… this is the place.

Great music, great food, reasonable prices. The bands they get have all been good and the Thursday night jams are such great events. On Saturday evenings they have a BBQ buffet which, bang for the buck cannot be beat. On the evenings they have bard food, while the choices are few the few is great!
Nice place to go in the evenings, have a drink or two, some nice live Blues and relax. If you did not know the place was there, you might never find it. I drove past it hundreds of times until we discovered the place. Some folks claim it is an «older» crowd, well, maybe it is filled with people who can appreciate the music?
So, if you like the Blues and music @ JJ’s, you will ike this place and they have food!
Enjoy

Cool little local bar. Live music on most nights was really good.

What a hidden treasure, awesome staff, no ‘attitude’ from the locals… everyone get’s a warm welcome.
GREAT Guinness too… and thats a tough one to get right.
We happened in on a Tuesday night a couple of months ago & there was a Dj called Sean playing some really cool music, everything from Sinatra to The Pogues!
In fact… we have been back every week since… can’t recommend it enough.
HUGE parking lot right outside as well.

Tucked in the middle of semi industrial Campell. Would not know its here unless you came a looking. I came to meet some friends after work. Nice place to hang out and listen to some live music. Went there on a Thursday night and a blues band was playing. Lots of TVs to watch the baseball game. Bartenders and regulars are a mixed local crowd, but relaxed.
Place is just a great basic bar. Cheap drinks, cold draft beer, good live music. Could use more draft beer. Just fun.

I have now been to the place twice for a Meetup event. The music is very loud. So loud that it is very difficult for one person to hear another person. That is, when the band is playing. A good example was last night when the jazz group was performing their songs.
Unfortunately, there was a downside. The one waitress of the place seemed to be in such a crappy mood. Did not hand me a menu this time.
Will not return, unless something amazing pops up.
