Great Times and Bar Rules
My experience at this place was filled with good times, including being bussed to my first New York Giants game years ago. The bar was also a highlight, especially with its early 6 am opening hours. I recall a specific instance where someone was asked to leave for not tipping, which is a reminder of how bars operate: a dollar a drink minimum is standard, regardless of service quality. If the service isn't satisfactory, it's advised to tip appropriately on the first round and then find another establishment for subsequent drinks.

Amazing Bartender, Welcoming Crowd
My experience at this establishment was primarily defined by the exceptional service from our bartender, Melinda. She was incredibly knowledgeable, like a 'living Google, ' and shared insights about local spots that only residents would know. The atmosphere was very welcoming, with the whole crowd being friendly. However, there was no food available during our visit.

Great NYC-style bar in SF!
What was my experience at this restaurant? It was like finding an NYC-styled bar in SF, and I was ready for it! I had a great bar experience with good service and an even better atmosphere. I definitely recommend any east coast visitors in SF to check this bar out. KNICKS IN 7!

Disappointing End to a Good Time
I've been to this bar a few times and have generally had a good time. My friends and I were here the other day watching the Warriors game, and we were told to leave towards the end for a poor tip. While we usually tip well, we didn't find the service to be welcoming and didn't warrant a bigger tip. Being asked to leave turned our fun night into a very sour one. I hope the staff acts more professionally in the future and treats customers with more respect.

Great IPA, Friendly Staff, Relaxed Vibe
My experience at this establishment was largely positive. I found the Boneyard IPA to be great, with a preference for its more bitter and hoppy profile over fruity notes. The staff were friendly, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed, which I appreciated. A unique aspect was that they don’t serve food, but the bar staff mentioned I could bring my own, which is unheard of back home in Sydney. The pace of life here, like in San Francisco, is slower than I'm used to, and I found this to be a positive. 🤗😄

Great drinks and atmosphere, felt like home
I love this bar and will definitely be back anytime I’m in SF. While they don’t serve food, they offer good drinks. The staff, the regulars, and the overall atmosphere were exactly what I needed to feel reminded of home.

Great Service and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant in San Francisco was fantastic! I stumbled upon it and ended up staying all night. The drinks were affordable, and the service was amazing. We visited on a Thursday night and will definitely be back. The place is sports friendly, with a lot of history and pictures on the walls, contributing to a great atmosphere.
