Great Wings and Cocktails, Dry Melt
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. I started with the chicken wings, which were great and had excellent seasoning, earning a 4/5. For my main, I ordered the tuna melt, but unfortunately, it was too dry, receiving a 3/5.
The fries that came with the tuna melt were crunchy and good, but a bit too greasy, scoring a 4/5. To finish, I enjoyed a cocktail, which was delicious and a perfect 5/5. Overall, the food had its ups and downs, but the drinks were a highlight.

Great Service, Late Night Option
What was your experience at the restaurant? It's a typical American bar that also stays open late at night, which is a rarity as most places close by 9 PM. The service was super attentive and very agile.
The price is in line with the average.

Phenomenal Food and Service Late Night
We had a very late dinner at Old Ship Saloon after a night tour out at Alcatraz, and we couldn't have had a better experience. When we arrived, it was busy but not crowded, and even though the hour was late (9: 30 pm), we were able to get amazing food. As the tavern filled up with people attending conferences or in the Business District, it felt loud but fun, and we weren't rushed out of our table or denied excellent service.
We can absolutely recommend the clam chowder, the fish and chips was phenomenal, our visiting guest had the salmon and enjoyed every single bite while my husband had the nachos and was shocked at how enormous the portion was! Five stars - we will definitely come again!

Hidden Gem with Great Skirt Steak
My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. It's a true hidden gem with a surprisingly good kitchen. I highly recommend trying the skirt steak, and I suggest swapping out the potatoes for fries.
The food quality was excellent, earning a perfect 5/5 rating.

Top-notch Burger and Friendly Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The burger was top notch, and the bar service was super friendly. It's conveniently located just a couple of blocks from my hotel and appears to be a favorite among the local San Franciscans who work in the area.

Preferred Pub in SFBA
After 4 years in the SFBA, this is my preferred pub. I may not go out often or know many places, but this pub stands out. They have a good choice of draft beer.
The wait time was no wait, and the noise level was loud, but you can still talk.

Great Atmosphere and Service
My experience at the restaurant featured a medium size center bar with side tables suitable for groups of 2-4. Additionally, there were larger tables available in the bar area for bigger groups. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service also received a perfect 5.
The food was equally impressive, scoring a 5.
