"Atwater has a lot of things going for it: an unmatchedhappy hourdeal with $1oysters, a giantparking lot, and most importantly, awaterfrontpatio with unobstructed views of the Bay. Situated conveniently between Chase Center and Oracle Park, this American restaurant should be your top pick for a drink and some bites before or after a game. If the timing’s right, aim for the daily 2-5pmhappy hourto take advantage of those heavily discounted oysters and some dollar-off drinks. For similar experiences withseafood-heavy menus and outdoor seating, tryThe RampandMission Rock Resort—both are just a short walk to Chase Center." - Julia Chen, Patrick Wong
"The main reason to come here is if you’re on your way to a Giants game. It feels a little stranded on the pier, but there’s an incredible view of the bay and it’s super close to Oracle Park. Split a flatbread pizza while you discuss how you think this season is going to go, which may or may not require a few beers." - Will Kamensky
"When it’s game night and you can’t get in the actual ballpark, Atwater Tavern may be your second best option. The Spanish seafood tavern opened in 2014 and plays the game, while looking right at AT&T Park. Now that this area is growing with restaurants and bakeries from Che Fico and Arsicault showing up left and right, it’s a good time to try the andouille sausage-laden paella at this mainstay." - Paolo Bicchieri
"A big concrete block close to the stadium, ATWater Tavern scores points for a sunny deck, bay views, and happy hour deals. It’s a step up from basic bar food, with lots of seafood on the menu, like Otto’s Paella, filled with mussels, sausage, clams, calamari, and prawns, or grilled salmon linguine." - Eater Staff
"Atwater Tavern is where to go when you want to sit by the water near Oracle Park and get some sun before fulfilling your statistically challenging dream of catching a foul ball. It feels a little stranded on the pier (an open parking area is right in front of it), but there are some views of the bay, and plenty of patio space (including a rooftop deck). This casual spot has chicken sandwiches, salads, and flatbread pizzas you can order while you and your friends discuss how you think the season's going." - patrick wong, julia chen 1, lani conway
