Hollow Leg

R.I.P. Jorge You left us too soon.

You can walk into this place with whatever your wearing now. Sweatpants, high heels, work polos, whatever. A great place with well priced drinks and bartenders that are low key but always there when you need them. Everything that a bar should have, no extra frills to get in your way.
Oh, and the digital jukebox is killer here!

If you’re in the area and need a drink badly, this will do. Otherwise, it’s a places with a neon interior and no widows so enter at your own risk.

Dive bar. Most the time there are only regulars or one timers looking for a quick beer or a hard drunk. At night you still find regulars but sometimes creepy people or gangbangers show up and kill the vibe. Every now and then some cool groups come in after bar hoping or a party. Bartenders are nice tho (michelle and (cora) very friendly and will remember you if you come back. Best time to go is during happy hour in the middle of the day. Drinks are super cheap. It’s counter part is the B st. Bar in downtown Hayward on b st.

A simple calm atmosphere. Great for pool and darts. The prices are great. The service is great. It has many vibes through out the day. I am a pool player so it’s great stop for gaming.

I gave it a 4 because I met the owner Jorge and he is very professional as a bar owner. Free WIFI too. There is a nice little variety of draft on tap. Prices aren’t bad. I gave it s 4 because of the bathroom. I will be returning. Great customer service from Beanie the bartender.

A great bar for locals… Big Jorge’s Hollow Leg is a great little bar to catch a game or two… love all da tvs at the bar! I drive by this place all the time but recently noticed that it changed ownership. When I found out that Big Jorge is the same Big Jorge who owns B Street Bar &Grill, I was definitely going to visit becuase he’s a really cool guy! On Sunday, 10÷27÷13, I went with my two cousins to celebrate our October birthdays. We were just going in for a couple of drinks, but then that turned out to be six hour marathon! We were able to catch the ending of the Raiders game (they won!) and the Sharks game (they won too!) Plus, we caught Game 4 of the World Series (Go Boston!). We met a lot of great folks there. We even got to see Jorge! The bartender, Michelle, was super awesome! She remembered our names, our drinks and even made Tang Bomb shots for us. Best place to wet your whistle in Hayward! Love the atmosphere of this place~ da pool table, jukebox and da swanky lighting! A bigger plus was da drinks were affordable!!! What more could you ask for? Well, if you were going to say EATS… there was a crock pot of soup! My cousin salivated over it! Most of the Regulars were social and fun. you gotta love that! It also helped that I played 50 songs that everybody liked! That’s what local bars are supposed to be like. Thanks Michelle for a fabulous time!!!

This is a nice bar to go to if you already have your group of friends set. Why is it a fiver? Well first off this bar is in no way pretentious, the vibe is chill and the people that work here are real. They don’t smile at you for the tips they genuinely are good folks. Come here on a Friday and you will get the chance to vibe to one of the bay areas most underrated DJs. Dj Hello. He got that rnb, hip hop reggae and of course he takes requests too. Drinks are super reasonably priced here and they got a pool table. This is a good place to come relax and have a drink if you missed guestlist at the club or if you dont feel like doing all that too much.

This place is totally MEH. I mean, if you’re looking for a dingy ass place to drink after work in your dirty work clothes then maybe… Mostly men in here so if you’re a single lady coming in with a friend for a quick night cap with a girlfriend, BE AWARE! The drinks were reasonably priced but not reasonably enough for me to deal with sitting on stools with cracked plastic digging into the back of my thighs.
They have a sign outside of the bar that says «COOLEST BEER IN TOWN» or something like that. I had the beer… it’s just… normal cold lol. Like, how do you even assume you have the coldest or coolest beer in town? If anything, my fridge does.
Don’t come here. There are other bars. Try Dark Horse Lounge up the street towards Winton, that one’s more tolerable.

A dive bar, but more like a bowling alley bar with cheaper booze. $ 3 domestic pint… can’t really complain about that. The guy next to me asked for a refill though an the bar-​tender haggled about it… pouring for an extra second would break the bank and that kind of service leads to a bigger tip from me. Haggling just means you’re stingy.
Apart from that, the a/​c gives the place the distinct smell of an animal feed store.
If you love by here or are driving through, go for it. It’s not worth a special trip though.

Don’t know what keeps me going back here. Maybe it’s the seductive name, perhaps its location. in deep west hayward, possibly it’s the flashing lights and giant sign outside the building.
I’ve seen guys in football jerseys singing loudly to a 2 Chainz record, big girls dance all night, and middle aged folks who just need some after work stress relief.
Yes, this bar definitely fits the culture of Hayward. It’s A-​OK.

Dive bar, but fun as hell! Maybe it’s just the company I’m with, but I definitely enjoyed myself :)

Went here on a whim to have drinks with my brother, his wife and her family. Surprisingly we had a great time. The drinks were good, prices decent & DJ was great!

Why can’t thhis be the best bar in the world? Why can’t all bars aspire to be Hollow Leg?
No fuss bar with a fine crowd of locals and a pool table and order of drinks didn’t make a dent in the savings.
Next time I’m movin’ down Hesperian Blvd. I’ll stop in again and get my drink on. This would be on my Pub crawl list if you could do that in this town.

I always have a good time here! Been going frequently lately and this place never lets me down. The bartender and owner are always super friendly and make sure that you are enjoying yourself. Drinks are very good and prices are very reasonable. Juke box has great music when there’s no DJ and they also have a pool table! I even had my birthday party there and they we’re awesome and let me bring some appetizer trays. It happened to be 80’s night so there a few of us dressed for the occasion. I had the best time. The bar has just been re-​opened so it’s not a popular place-​YET! Hoping it gets a bigger crowd soon because it’s definitely a great place to hang out!

Awesome the «Leg» is back in business. I have so many fond memories of striking out with hot 80’s and 90’s bar chicks. Of waking up with a massive John F. Kennedy headache and puke on my pants (sometimes not even my puke) Great Divey feel, friendly bartender and decent prices. I don’t know if they’ve added lights to that spooky back parking lot cuz i went during the day. That parking lot used to look like pop singer Seal’s face, dark and full of potholes. Anyhoo, a welcome addition even if i don’t drink like i used to… Check it out.

First of all let me preface this review by saying that this was the first bar I ever went to and the one I spent most of my 20’s in so I am completely biased. That being said after being shut down for about a year due to the previous owners financial issues (and pretty much being run into the ground by the same owner for a couple years before that) my beloved Leg is back open for business.
The interior didn’t change a whole lot but they did install some blue lights that gave it a more modern look which I liked and they brought in some new tables and what not. Also glad they got rid of the dart section which used to take up half the bar. (Does anyone play darts anymore?) Also they had chalkboards posted on the ceiling with all the drink specials which I kinda liked for some reason. Jukebox was also upgraded which is always a plus. TV’s are still in need of a major upgrade.
Spoke to the new owner who already owns a successful establishment downtown and he seemed like a cool dude. Assured me that he prides himself on having the coldest beer in town (which I loved to hear cuz the beer was never cold before). He seems like he knows what it takes to make the place work.
All in all this is the very definition of a dive bar. My side of Hayward had been completely lacking due to the previous owner having both of his bars shut down so it was a welcome sight to see my home bar back open.

This place is really cool, and has a great vibe to it. Went here with a friend of mine on a Wednesday and had a good time. They have a juke box, darts, pool table, and great bar games ie Erotic Photo Hunt. The drinks were not too expensive and but were fairly strong. Bar tender was really cool and friendly.
The only thing I didn’t like was the fact you cant add tip on your card, so I would suggest bringing cash. From what I understand the owner of Schellys also owns this place, but Hollow Leg is much more modern.

Always a good sign when you can hear someone karaoking some Beastie Boys Brass Monkey halfway down the block.
This place has a little less people than the Whiskey River Saloon down the block.
Why can’t we have some neighborhood taverns like this in the 650?
