R-Place Livermore

Does this place have wifi?
A productionist is willing to live stream if the bandwidth is available. Can anyone of knowledge let me know. Thanks
The date would be October 25^th

Wow! Neighborhood bar! Complete with good beer on tap, nice bartender, interesting characters and a really awesome band that I hope to hear/​see there again. This was my first time at R place. though i have always heard about it. The band was Otelia’s back alley boys? I thought they were really fun to listen and dance to.

My husband and I went to R Place for the first time last night (a Saturday). First, from the outside I thought that it was going to be dive bar, but it was surprisingly clean. Second, the band was great, though there was hardly anyone in the place. Very surprising for 11 pm on a Saturday night. Third, the bartender seemed friendly enough. My only complaint, they’ve got a pool table but when we asked the bartender if we could use it, he said the owner said «No.». WTF? Why have a pool table if you’re only going to use it for displaying a flower arrangement? Very strange. Since no one was dancing, we left after we finished our beers. I would probably go back, but only with a group of friends.

My friend and I went on Friday for a girls night out. It was open jam night and what a fun night it was. The people are friendly, the music is great… an all around awesome time. Can’t wait to go back.

Nice little local bar.

Best bar entertainment in Livermore. People are friendly. No, wierdo’s. People are down to earth fun lovely crowd. As a woman it a safe enviroment. If you want to listen to a good band and dance this is a place to consider. Age range is between 21– 70. They have a couple of pool tables and darts. The place is clean never has that beer dirty bar smell. Lots of windows and back patio area.

The service was okay. I was there to check out a band I was going to rehearse with. I’m a bit shy so I just took a seat at my own table.
2 older guys (one was 51) were hitting on me the entire time. I’m 28. It was a little creepy. They left like an hour later and asked if I wanted to go with them.
I guess if you’re with company, the place is great. As a young lady going by myself, I would prefer it to not be so dark if they’re going to be creepy old men trying to flirt around with me.

had a great time in beginning. great bar tender gerade an bouncers. new bouncer an girls got jealous of me dancing to my man an hit me. cuz i got upset the new bouncer bounced us. the regulars were shocked an argued with him. beware!!! new owner is not alert!!! trouble is still there!!!
the bouncer is threatening an thinks he is above all not knowing owners regulars. she is screwed!!!

A friend of a friend wanted to go here because a band she really liked was playing. This was my first time going to R-​Place and it definitely has a dive bar-​lite thing going on.
The bartender was knowledgeable of the beers on tap and in bottles, but was not particularly friendly. However since it was a Friday night I thought this was understandable because I figured he was probably just really tired. I got an Angry Orchard Cider for $ 4 which isn’t bad for a bar when it’s not happy hour. My friend got a ginger ale for $ 1.
The music was realllllly loud and that was before the live band started playing. Once the band started playing, I got a huge headache. It was WAY TOO LOUD. I couldn’t even hear my friend when she leaned in a few inches away, it was that loud.
Also, the clientele is a little creepy. Some weird guy started talking to me, and maybe he was just being friendly but I’m only in my twenties and he was like in his fifties. It made me a little uncomfortable.
Speaking of which, I didn’t get carded. I’m under 30 and I definitely don’t look 30 (although I noticed they started calling again a little later). That is not good.
If you’re allergic to cigarette smoke, I would avoid this place. The place was thick with the stench of it, and I could barely breathe.
It wasn’t a terrible experience but I definitely wouldn’t come here again, and certainly not if I were alone!

Karaōke on Wednesdays rocks! Ted (honkytonk) has the best sound system in the east bay. Also, I needed a fork to eat my dinner and they didn’t have one. The bartender, Jared, made me a spork all mcguiver like. Word.

I always have a wonderful time at this place. Great music, great people and usually great bartenders. I do NOT recommend going during the day on Saturday, the bartender is unfriendly to other women.

I’m new to the Livermore area and I am so happy that I found this place! It is a great place to see live music. I drink wine and the pours are always generous. The people are friendly and the music is great! They have great live rock and roll music, no cover charge and plenty of room to dance. I’ll keep coming back. Check out this place, you will be glad you did. It’s about a block north of downtown Livermore, an easy walk. Thanks R-​Place for bringing local live music to Livermore!

Definitely a go to place when visiting livermore. There is always something interesting going on here.

Came in here this past Wednesday night for some karaōke with friends. Immediately knew it was going to be fun as I recognized the karaōke DJ, he’s really good at keeping the flow going well. Drinks are cheap (can’t believe I got a whiskey and coke for $ 4.50), and the atmosphere is mostly awesome (a lot regulars here, seems like you gotta know someone to get into the group, but once you’re in, it’s fun). I’d definitely come back for a karaōke Wednesday night, might have to check out some other nights too.

Stopped in here one night with some friends — the band was really good and the bartender was friendly and prompt. I will start coming here more.

I went to R Place this past Sunday to enjoy some live music. I got there a bit before 6PM. They have great prices on drinks. The bartender is very efficient and friendly.
Sunday night is jam night, so local talents come to play.
The first group to play sounded great for their first song. Loved their music. However, after the first song, the sound wast turned down, because the rest of the songs they played could barely be heard. They turned down the entire band, but the singer was turned down the most. The next «group» was the host. He did a solo and then was joined by the drummer from the first band and a bass player. They sounded good, but again, you could barely hear the singer. Really did not like how the sound was turned down AT ALL!
I’m not sure why they turned down the sound so much after that first song. It really sucked. Eventually, another group, who was definitely NOT turned down, joined the solo singer. In fact, their sound HAD BEEN cranked up. They performed well and I liked their music, but I felt robbed of hearing the prior performers.
After reading the other Unilocal,I guess this place is not the place to «jam» unless you are one of the bars «favorites»! They seriously need to get someone in there that knows how to promote music and pick performers and hosts.

The quintessential dive bar. Livermore’s very own lovable one, with excellent music and reasonable libation prices. Getting clobbered over the head for the price of booze gets old. I was in there last Thursday with a friend – had two margaritas, she had two glasses of chard (poured to the top of the glass). Total bill before tip was $ 10.00.
As of this writing there’s an excellent blues band every other Thursday. I have also heard some other excellent bands on the weekends. Other musical adventures occur on other nights. Low key, casual. and lively, the age range of the crowd ranges from upper 30s to lower 60s and it all seems to work. Kudos to the new owner who swooped in and bought the place a couple of years ago. She did a nice job of breathing life into what was once a pretty dead location. Pool tables too, though I don’t think they are used during band performance.

I’ve been in a few times in the afternoon. Yes, it’s ‘regulars’ but as opposed to some other reviews, I found them friendly enough. I got involved in conversations and didn’t feel excluded. The bartender who has been in just about every time I’ve been in has been friendly. Good beer selection. I’d like to come back for the music.

Laid back bar with great local live music. We come out to dance once or twice a week.

I came here this Friday with some family and friends. The drinks were decently priced and the live band that was playing was pretty good. They have 2 pool tables, a jukebox and a decent sized dance floor. The crowd here was majority 40 – 50 year olds, our group was a combination of 40-​somethins and a few of us 80’s babies.
You can tell they put a decent amount of money in what used to be Babe’s to make it R Place. BUT I am going to say what a lot of people have said already, I felt like I was unwelcome at THEIR PLACE. The lady bartender was not very friendly, we spent well over a hundred and fifty bucks in about an hour and a half, put a flippin smile on your face would ya?!?
I had a good time despite the pissy people that I just in-​turn ignored. I may be back again just to play pool but wouldn’t mind having people be a little bit more welcoming.
