Highlands Sports Bar & Grill

Line dancing Saturdays and trivia Mondays make this sports bar lively.

Highlands Sports Bar & Grill gives game-day food plenty of variety in downtown San Carlos. Burgers and pizza provide familiar anchors, while the sharing menu adds carnitas nachos, wings, potato skins, and fries topped with pastrami and sauerkraut. We like that there are several ways to build a table-friendly order, rather than relying on one large entrée. Impossible taquitos and salads create alternatives within the broader menu, and beer flights offer a way to sample the rotating draft selection. The Laurel Street location also advertises a dog-friendly outdoor patio, giving a gathering another setting beyond the indoor booths. Highlands brings together the practical ingredients of a sports-bar outing: food to share, a substantial beer selection, and choices for people who would prefer a burger, pizza, or salad of their own.
