10/10 experience here, unpretentious friendly and cheap. The lovely bartender flower 🌸 also paid for my friend and I to use the photo booth as we had no cash (we later found out it also takes card so they were being extra sweet!!): highly recommend
Cozy neighborhood bar, pool table, photo booth, and very kind staff. Good mix of tunes as well
Really clean, unpretentious bar with a nice Southwest/pioneer theme. Good space, good location, not too loud--a great place to have a date or chill with friends. The bartenders are also awesome!
This is the best bar in SF. A miner theme! Hot food from Front Porch, great location, a photo booth, pool, black and white movies, and a bar tender who plays OSees. What more could a person ask for?
I used to come to Rock Bar all the time before the shutdowns and it was my favorite bar. I really like the lighting, drinks, music, photo booth, and that I could get food at the front porch before hand. I went in last night, my third time post lockdowns and reopening and it has gone downhill a lot, mostly in regards to service. I was excited to be able to come back to this bar that I loved that took a while to open back up and was happy it survived the long closures. My boyfriend and I ordered a drink with a gentleman and didn't have much problem. We went to the photo booth and came back to the shorter female bartender, I think her name is Jess, and were completely ignored. I looked her direction and gave her a smile so she would know we were looking for a second drink, and she yelled, "IDs and Vaccination cards" from across the bar and never came over to check them and ignored us for another 5-10 minutes, just moving cups around and doing dishes, refusing to look at us. We had IDs and Vaccination cards ready to be looked at, which she never actually came to see. No one had checked them that night since we had come in. For whatever reason she decided she didn't want to serve us. I don't ever come to a bar with a bad attitude or looking for trouble. I was nice to all staff and patrons, actually had very minimal interaction with anyone at this point besides my boyfriend who had just gotten there with me. It really sucks to go to a place you love and have the people who work there treat you terribly for no reason at all. We weren't drunk. This was our second drink of the night. We weren't rowdy and didn't even speak to anyone to cause any problems that would have warranted this treatment. It's honestly very disappointing. I come with a good attitude and just want to enjoy my night and have it ruined by someone who decided they didn't want us to for reasons that are beyond me. I drive across town to come to this bar because I like it there, but I don't think I will be anymore.
NOT OPEN RIGHT NOW! Love this neighborhood watering hole but went there yesterday, sat in the outdoor benches and got major attitude from the server for not “checking in first.” Took us an hour to realize it’s being used as overflow seating for The Front Porch and he meant we were supposed to come talk to him at the restaurant across the street. Not sure how we were supposed to know that but my recommendation is wait until the actual bar is back open. Not worth the hassle, attitude or money for over-sugared cocktails we got.
Super chill staff and always playing great music. The people who frequent there are some of the best as well. Great drinks, and the happy hour is a good one.
I really wanted to like this place because it’s so close to my apartment.
First visit, it was a Saturday night and the boyfriend and I were sat at the bar and it took 10 minutes to get an order in while the bartender was chatting with someone the whole time. The place wasn’t that busy and it was easy to find a seat. Excusable, but not the best experience.
Second visit, it was a weekday around 6pm. I wanted to try the place again with some coworkers because of the drink special advertised on their website. There were at least two staff members and only four customers inside. We weren’t allowed in until we showed proof of vaccination. Great, we pulled up our QR codes and had our IDs in hand and had to wait outside for 5 minutes until someone could verify. It was awkward having to constantly tap your phone screen because it kept dimming due to inactivity. Another 5 minutes of waiting before we could order. We told the bartender “so we hear you have some discounted old fashioneds for happy hour” and she confirmed and made the 3 cocktails. The total came out to $40. Is she just making numbers up? Is there a menu that says they’re normally priced $13.33? I kindly let her know that the price listed on their website is $6 Monday through Friday 4-7pm. She had no interest in checking the website and ran across the street to get more info. When the bartender came back, she said those were precovid prices and they couldn’t afford that now. Ok, fair enough, a lot of businesses have been struggling. She then offered to bring the price down to $12 a drink and said “that’s a good deal, right?”. So I guess they were making their prices up. Overall, both experiences were just really strange and I have no interest in going back.
TL;DR Be prepared to wait a long time while bartenders are chatting and for the bar to not honor their advertised price. There are so many better bars in the area, this one is not worth your time or money.
Lost Cat is a fantastic spot for those seeking a unique and enjoyable experience. As soon as you step inside, you are greeted by a charming cat-themed ambiance. The walls adorned with cat canvases and the glowing cat lamps on the tables create a coz
One of the best dining experiences I've had! We did the tasting menu and opted for non alcoholic pairings, though I did order a cocktail separately. You could really tell a lot of thought, care, and extensive testing went into every course or drink t
Buena Vista was always busy but if you didn't mind to sit at the bar, could get your Irish coffee fix pretty quickly.
Another must-go place whenever I visited San Francisco. Came here twice during my two day stay. One thing I had never known was tha
Empanadas are literally better by an order of magnitude than anything I found in Santiago Chile a few years ago. Great beer all around too.

Loved the atmosphere of this place. Reminds me of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney. A little more cramped depending on the time of night. I felt a little claustrophobic. Itâs fair priced for excellently crafted drinks, and the bartenders
lovely bartenders, strong drinks, dog friendly, great ambience, ample seating. clearly a place regulars love and newcomers are welcome in. don't take your drinks outside the door, that is a dumb move that I did. high recommend drinking the drinks ins
Quintessential barbary coast saloon with live blues music!! This is where the cool 60 year olds, that you hope to be someday, hang out. It's one of my top 5 favorite bars in the city.
No frills, all fun, some dancing.
I saw an Irish band. I drank Guinness and Jamison all night long. I fought many men. I won all the darts. I sang in tune. I defended my ladies honor. I did not stumble. I did not vomit. I tipped well.
I have trained BJJ at many gyms around the world over the past 8 years, but without a doubt have never met anyone with the passion or enthusiasm that Jake has for the art.

A few weeks ago was my first time at StretchLab. I was well informed about the process before and during the session. It was a very positive experience! Finances allowing I will definitely go back. Thank you Brynn!
The Neighborhood Tour with Lisa was so useful in our search for a home in SF. She listened to all our requests for the characteristics of the property we were looking for, as well as our preferred locations. We knew nothing of the city coming into th

I think it is just a matter of time before this place gets its Michelin star. Everything from the moment I made the reservation was professional, smooth, and elegant. The restaurant is clear about not being able to accommodate allergies, which I appr
Beautiful park with Nasturtium growing everywhere on the hills. The amphitheatre is very huge and I would love to see a concert here sometime. The acoustics must be incredible with all the beautiful trees.
This is my go to place for a great start to the weekend. The movement of coffee at this place is a refreshing change. There is nearly no wait from the time I order my coffee to when I get it in my hands.
The team working there is very friendly and e
