Reviews for Mortar & Pestle Bar in San Mateo, CA
It's a small little bar on the backside of Curry Up Now. Although it says that they are open till 12 AM, they got closed at... 10:30 PM on a Friday. So we did not get a chance to try their cocktails. Read more
Their menu is so interesting, can't wait to come back when they're fully stocked to try their other drinks/or for happy hour -... such good deals! Read more
Great drinks and food! Service is a bit slow even with a less-than-usual busy night. Just a heads up that this bar is located at... the back of the Curry Up restaurant, so you?ll either have to walk in from the main street and go all the way to the back, orwalk in from the parking structure behind the complex. It?s a great place for some light dinner and drinks. You might have towalk over to the bartender to get their attention to take your dinner order or make any requests. Read more
Unique cocktails with an Indian twist. You can also order food from Curry Up Now while at the bar
Drinks here are delicious. Highly recommend the Land of Milk and Honey! JC was a fantastic bartender, she went out of her way to... make us drinks from scratch even though some materials weren?t ready yet, and she also had fantastic recommendations. Read more
Love this place. The drinks are awesome and delicious the bartenders take their time making your drink and the food from the... sister restaurant Curry Up Now is delicious. Get some appetizers and you won't be disappointed. The only problem is that theyclose a bit early. 10pm normally and 9pm on Sunday. Read more
Interesting, creative and well executed cocktails some which have an Indian twist : definitely a place worth multiple visits.... There's also a small list of light bites to go with the cocktails which are reinterpretations of Indian street and fast food.The place is extremely popular and busy (for very good reason) but things can be a tad faster if you stand by the bar and waitto grab your drinks (also a lot of fun to watch). It can be hard to find a place at or near the bar so we just carried ourdrinks outside to main restaurant section. This zone is far less interesting but quieter if you plan on having a conversation.

Cool ambiance but they were out of over half the cocktails and wouldn?t make anything off the menu (not even a normal well... drink) They also were out of wine completely. The cocktails are just made in batches, not by the actual bartender and they onlyhave very few of them so I wouldn?t trust the menu online. Read more
