if you're looking for an unpretentious, neighborhood dive bar (that isn't *trying* to be a dive bar) this is your place. cheap drinks, healthy pours, friendly bartenders! pool tables, $2 a game or $5 for 3 (cash only). solid juke box! we will be back for sure!

Ridiculous pricing for a dive bar. Went in on a Monday around 5pm and ordered 1 Miller High Life and 1 house wine.... The cost was $17.50! If you want a dive bar experience that is actually affordable, I recommend going to the 2am club in mill valley where most beers (including high life) are only $4!

I have been a close personal friend of the owner of The Peso ( best friends) since freshman year of high school!
He and his establishment are open minded and friendly. I am writing this as a black woman who has been to many bars in the Bay Area. Compare this bar to any other and compare your experience. The owner hires only nice, kind hearted people, which he also is! Been a great guy since we met in the early 80's!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Cindy R.Marin, CA1182Feb 12, 2024
I have visited this place twice. The first time was with some lovely neighborhood lady friends of mine, who happened to be French, Hollander and Italian. The service was great. The second time, I went on a date and we decided to have a drink before our dinner at Antonio's, which is located across the street. I patiently waited to place my drink order, gesturing once or twice to get the attention of the staff. Unfortunately, about 15 minutes of waiting. They were extremely rude and completely ignored me. The people sitting next to me noticed and jokingly said "are you on their shit list?" I honestly felt very discriminated against. We made no fuss about it and left.

The Silver Peso is an institution in Marin. Great bar, great staff and great ownership. It's a wonderful place for a drink with friends or a game of pool. It has an inclusive, welcoming environment and I highly recommend it.

The Peso is a friendly, welcoming establishment for all kinds of folks. I have met up with friends and coworkers there for years. It's a neighborhood institution like no other!

This Portland gal is hoping to visit the Silver Peso in January! Great reputation and amazing owner who I know values his team, because he gives them kudos constantly when speaking of them! If you're looking for a great place to hang out "where everybody knows your name" then look no further. You'll love being at a bar where EVERYONE is welcome and appreciated. Hit up the Silver Peso, hook up with some old friends, and make some new ones!

Jeff makes the BEST Bloody Marys. Playing shuffleboard makes you forget how many Bloody Marys you've had :-)

Love that they have hired a nice guy (Judd) who keeps the place clean, very refreshing. Unfortunately the prices have skyrocketed, they even doubled the price to play pool! I know businesses need to catch up after COVID but $8 for a draft? Don't think so. We do go in late weekend mornings after tennis to see Pete who makes the best bloody marys on the planet tho, he makes us feel welcome. Like any other dive, the Peso has it's positives and negatives. When you go makes a difference. The patrons are younger the later in the evening you go, but go - always entertaining.

I visited some friends in the Bay area a few times in the past couple years and had the pleasure of going to the Silver Peso. After my first visit I decided I would continue to make a stop every time I'm in town. The staff was very friendly and although it was crowded, the service was great. I played pool and I feel like I made some friends while I was there. I would recommend visiting this legendary bar if you're in the area.
