Cool bar with character and pool
My experience at this bar was great! It's a cool bar with character and even has a pool table. The ordering process is unique; you order food outside and receive a pager that notifies you when your food is ready for pickup.
The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service also received a 5. The food was rated a 4, indicating a good experience overall.

Lively Spot for Elevated Bar Food
My experience at Tempest Bar & Box Kitchen was that of a lively spot with a vibrant atmosphere. The creative cocktails were a highlight, and the sports-friendly setup with multiple screens showing live sports was much appreciated. The menu features elevated bar food, including loaded fries, burgers, and wings, often with a bold twist.
Guests will appreciate the upbeat vibe, fast service, and it's a great hangout for groups, game nights, or casual weekend outings. It's good for those looking for energy, flavor, and fun under one roof.

Great Bar and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The bar was great, and the atmosphere was equally impressive. I'd like to address a previous comment about an assault; the individual was antagonizing protesters, which led to the incident.
Overall, the service, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect 5/5 rating.

Unsanitary Conditions and Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. The place needs to be inspected, not just for rats, but also for the abysmal customer service. It gets out of hand, and the poor security is a major concern.

Horrible Experience: Assault and Roaches
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. The service was appalling, as the bartender assaulted my friend and broke his glasses. Additionally, I observed roaches, which is a severe cleanliness issue.
This was a dinner meal with a price per person of $100+.

Horrible Experience - Rat in Food!
My experience at this restaurant was horrible and sketchy. I found a rat in my food! I would NEVER GO HERE and believe this place should be SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY!

Solid Dive Bar with a Surprising Kitchen
My experience at this solid dive bar was great. It truly checks all the boxes for a classic dive bar atmosphere, featuring a pool table, graffiti, and stickers on the walls, creating dark corners and attracting interesting patrons. The jukebox was cranking metal, adding to the vibe.
What was particularly surprising was the solid kitchen, offering elevated variations of traditional bar food. The food offerings were a pleasant surprise in this setting.

A True San Francisco Gem
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. It's truly one of my favorite bars in San Francisco, with no real equivalents – it's a destination in itself. The food was excellent, the booze was top shelf, and the atmosphere was pure dive.
I highly recommend it, especially for vegetarians, as they offer a real deal and beyond "plant based burgers" with a large vegetarian selection. The service and food both received a perfect 5/5 rating. However, finding parking can be difficult.
For dinner, the price per person ranges from $50–100.

Horribly Amazing Atmosphere and Superb Staff
My experience at this restaurant was horribly amazing. The depth of stickers and graffiti created an atmosphere worth a cover charge. The staff was superb, adding an incredible blend of energy and community.
