Semper Fi Sports Bar & Grill

Awesome new Sports Bar & Grill — GREAT PLACE to watch a game/​sports events and on the weekends, if you are in the mood to stay out late and for a little dancing, it’s perfect! Great to bring the kids for lunch or dinner while getting a little game time in also! Place is clean, roomy, upscale for a sports bar and a very comfortable relaxing atmosphere!

I’m staying just across the parking lot next door at the Holiday Inn, and wanting a burger and a beer or something like that, and this is suppose to be a sports bar with that kinda stuff. Well, I walk over Sunday … NOT open, OK, Maybe some probs opening on Sundays. I go back at lunch time Monday, I check the website… suppose to be open, check Unilocal,suppose to be open, check their Facebook page… suppose to be open … walk on over, well, crap, closed and all dark. Is this place even still in business? So may failed businesses at the location. I really didn’t want Outback either next door. Ended up at the Habit Burger… they’re open and in business! Oh yeah called to and no one answered the phone, no voice mail no nothing.

This place is closed !!! Owner closed it!!! Guess he can’t make a business work Willow Tree FAILED Ocean Gardens FAILED Semper Fi FAILED !!! Now a night club horrible idea!!!

Is this place still open? My wife and I showed up to watch the warriors game at 6:30 on Friday, ¹²⁄₁₈ and they were closed! Very disappointing.

My wife heard a new place opened in Dublin at the old Willow Tree location. Since we live in Dublin, we wanted to check it out. I usually write very positive Unilocal!reviews. 4 – 5 stars, most of the time. I am a former restaurant manager and bartender, so I’m knowledgeable about how things should run. This place is the worst I’ve ever seen! Food, service, and décor were all awful! Looks like the Willow Tree just moved most their stuff out and then this place just threw in some terrible furniture and didn’t bother to re-​decorate with one theme. Military, Sports, whatever… Pick a theme and go with it. This is a hodge podge of junk!
We went there on Tuesday night for the big Warriors game against the LA Clippers. Looking forward to it. What we found: One bartender to serve the entire crowd and no food waiter. We had to go to the bar and order our food and drinks and carry everything back to our very uncomfortable table and chairs. They do not have big screens, they are old school projection T.V.s projected against a wall, 3 in a row. Really poor audio/​visual and there is a large post in the middle of the room that blocks part of the view. Everyone is facing the same way like a high school auditorium. Old lighting fixtures from the Willow Tree, bathrooms are a joke and there are some military banners just tacked up on the walls. The bartender was overwhelmed. I felt really sorry for her, she tried. Apparently this «sports bar:» didn’t know it was the night of a big Warrior game. The person that I assume was the manager was sitting or standing at the bar looking at his phone almost the whole night. I saw 3 people that I knew and all were disgusted at the service and experience. Beer selection is average, they ran out of steamed veggies, salad was warm and pretty lame. My steak was good but luke-​warm. Pulled Pork was just OK. The only reason I would suggest anyone go to this dump is to see for yourself how bad it really is or if you wanted to see how NOT to operate a sports bar. My wife and I tried to think if we have ever been to worse place in the last 30 years in both the U.S. and Europe and we couldn’t! I could go on, but I think you get my point. There are so many other good places in Dublin, I would NEVER go back here unless they fired everyone, spent $ 500,000 remodeling, and had a new owner.

Came to watch football on a Sunday, what I found.
The bad
Bar is a military themed sports bar and the décor is committed to neither.
Furniture is cheap and uncomfortable, not inviting to come in and spend 3 – 4 hours to watch a game.
Only 3 beers on tap and 1 of them is bud light
All tv’s in the bar were tuned into the same game, it goes without saying that a «sports bar» should be showing every game on an NFL Sunday.
Why is there a grand piano in the middle of this place?
The good
Staff is friendly and inviting
This place is huge and has enormous TV’s!
Food seems to be of much higher quality than BWW’s or Hooters. I had Nacho’s and the Carnitas and house made guac were very good and I would expect anything else on the menu to be of similar quality.
Overall I think this place has great potential, some upgrades in furniture, décor, beer selection, and overall commitment to being a sports bar would make this the place to watch all sports in the Tri Valley.

Trying a new sports bar tonight and this one is great. Floor to ceiling projectors, pool table, sports! The bar tender Geoff is great. Thank you.

Lots of parking spaces, big screens great speakers, it seems eating and drinking in the cinema. Good foods, fun and entertainment.

Great spot for multiple game action. Friendly staff. They are just getting started but you wouldn’t know it. Pool table is a perfect halftime activity. Outdoor patio available for fresh air. Food is above average for a sports bar. My new cheers!

Semper Fi Sports Bar & Grill is lots of space to sit and enjoy a game. Semper Fi docor nowhere in sight. Sports décor just 50ish pennants. no Giants, A’s, Sharks, Warriors yes. clearly in soft opening mode.
2 flatscreens in one, 2 huge movie screens in the other.
drink: 805 firestone (5.5) just 3 drafts.
eats: caesar salad (7)
–ok taste, choose vinegarette, not thousand island
–out of kale, lobster for lobster benedict (15.5)
on draught:
–food: fries, burgers, breakfast all day, salads.
–most time, waitresses nowhere in sight. maybe in kitchen.
–food average, drinks so so. very loud for a sports bar, lots of parking.

Popped in for a quick drink & to check this place out tonight. I’m giving this new place 4 stars based on its potential to be great! I really want to like this place, however it’s lacking a good beer selection. With all the great local breweries in the area, they only have Budlight, Stella, & 805 on tap. :/​There is more than enough space for more than one pool table as well. Dublin is in desperate need of a good pool hall/​sports bar! Not sure what the future plans for this place is, but how about some more pool tables & dart boards? The GIGANTIC projection screen walls are awesome for watching games, but I could see some empty spaces on the walls in the bar area need more TV’s. We are thinking of coming back in on Sunday to watch the game & try the food!

This place is cool! They have 4 really big screens with sports showing on them. The bartenders are cool. I’ve only had the chips and guacamole, but they are really yummy. Kudos to the cook! I hear their steak dish is really good too.
I think this is a good place for groups of people. I felt like I was sitting in a really big living room watching all those tv screens (more like movie screens).

Walked in, checked it out, and left. So I cannot leave a fair post on the food. Only 3 beers on tap? Seriously? Not even that great of a selection. There is a Stella machine that the beer comes out super cold, but come on, Stella is not even that great. Big screen tv’s and pool table might attract some. But let’s be real, get at least a selection of tap beer; at least 5 – 6 taps.
I decided to give this place a go and updated my previous review. First off, the bartender was a pleasant man and really tentative. I ordered the NY strip with fries. Great steak; after I trimmed the fat off of it. Ordered it medium-​well and it tasted great. Have to expect that from NY strip. The fries reminded me of German pomes frites; golden brown, crisp, and cooked to perfection.
I settled for an 805; not on the top of my beer list, but not a bad beer overall. The place was not packed; only a few patrons in the place who appeared to be of an older crowd.
Glad I tried the food. Not a bad place and fair prices. I recommend it. Hope the place sticks around.

I just popped in for dinner and game and found out this place has only been open 3 wks. The place is clean, spacious, huge TV’s, dance floor, pool table and a lounge area. The burger I had was amazing $ 11. They also have a DJ scheduled for tonight starting at 9:30pm.
I am thinking this is gonna be the new (cheers) of Dublin.
Bartender was also very friendly. I will be returning for sure. Place is right next to Outback Steakhouse.

Hanging out with some friends and wanted to try something new so found this restaurant on Unilocal.The place has only opened about two months. Big spacious open floor with two huge screens with projectors and all – good spot to rent out for huge events or come to watch a game! Ordered a bloody mary with bacon and it was pretty good. Usually its a hit and miss to find a spot that serves a mean ‘olé bloody mary. Found out later that the bartender made his own bloody mary mix – FIRE! Ordered their fully-​loaded bases fries which had nacho cheese, bacon and green onions on it – delish! Also tried their traditional wings with sauce on the side. Proportional size with a nice crisp to it. Will try again and my friends loved it too! Assisted by Keith who had a great attitude and made the experience a great one.

I’m not a Marine, but I sure do drink. This place has the biggest TV ever 18′ feet wide. Jess and Jeff are awesome people. Ask Jeff about his rock n roll experiences. Good stories. Great place to spend a night.

I really like the space in this place… I came here and saw how nice it has come together. The lounge couches got me and their home made guac is to die for. I had nachos as well and the freshness was great… I will definitely return :)

Come to eat, drink & make some memories. 1^st time visit is one I can never forgot. Was busy for a Thursday night– service was amazing & tv’s are huge!!! lobster stuffed ravioli’s & the best Caesar salad… I can’t wait to bring the rest of my family.

What a great new place for Dublin! With local bars shutting down this I’m sure will be a go to spot
! Big sports fan? FOUR projectors, pool table, full bar, dance floor, friendly staff and whhhaaaaat even a PIANO! Buffalo wings, burgers, steak & lobster, and when I have a really bad day the tiramisu is amazing! Check this place out & support small businesses.

The best and biggest new sports bar in Dublin. I am a Marine so I think this is the beat name ever «Always faithful». This place is brand new so don’t pay no mind to the previous reviews. Give them a shot and you won’t be disappointed. I’ve been twice now in two days and the staff is very friendly and knows their stuff. They have a machine that dispenses 34 degree Stella, three huge full wall screen tv’s and a pool table. I can’t wait to go back this weekend.
