Disappointing Experience with Discrimination Concerns
My experience at this restaurant was largely negative. I was particularly disturbed by the apparent discrimination against other religions, which is unacceptable and makes the establishment look bad. Beyond this significant issue, the food received a low rating of 2, and the service was rated a mere 1.
The atmosphere was also rated a 1, described as very loud and difficult to hear. Finding parking was an annoyance, with the nearby art gallery described as "stupid ugly" and looking like "moldy cheese. " The wait time was considerable, between 30-60 minutes.
Wheelchair accessibility was poor, with a "Stair 👎👎👎" rating. I also couldn't find any vegetarian options or clear information on dietary restrictions.

Discrimination and Racism at This Venue
My experience at this place tonight was marred by what felt like blatant discrimination. Upon arrival, I was checked by security and handed identification. An older white gentleman at the door initially told me I'd have issues with the dress code, claiming it was my shoes.
I was wearing Vans, and my friend had on Jordans. When I pointed out another individual inside wearing Nike Dunks, the security guard changed the reason to 'no sports attire. ' The discrimination here is wild.
I also noticed other reviews mentioning them hosting a 'Republican only' event, which speaks volumes. If you are a person of color, I strongly advise you to avoid this place like the plague. The old, racist white guy at the door will invent reasons to prevent you from entering.

Great drinks, popcorn, and atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the great beverages and especially loved the truffle popcorn. The space itself is super nice decorated, creating a good environment.
The service was also nice and cool.

Great Decor and Vibes for Groups
I really liked the decor and vibes of the place. It's relatively quiet and a good spot to take close knit groups. We got a grog flight, charcuterie board and cheese board to share.

Disappointing Experience with Political Undertones
My experience at this restaurant was overshadowed by a rather unwelcoming atmosphere. The establishment seemed to cater exclusively to a specific political group, which created a palpable sense of division. This focus on political affiliation rather than on providing a universally pleasant dining experience was quite disappointing.

Disappointed by Hosting Choice
My experience was marked by disappointment. The restaurant hosted the SF Republican Party on Thursday, May 22nd. I am sad that you would allow these people, who are trying to destroy our country, to reserve seats.
It is sad.

Stunning Drinks and Great Location
My experience at this restaurant was stunning. The drinks were wonderful and reasonably priced. It's conveniently located in a nice area, making it a great spot for a night out with other bars and places to eat nearby.
I particularly enjoyed the Thirteen Hundred drink from their cocktail menu. The bartenders were sweet and served up great drinks.

Fantastic Happy Hour Experience!
My experience at this restaurant during happy hour was great. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the food options; the ceviche shooters were a cool concept, and the hummus spread was great with a nice variety of flavors.
I also loved the brussel skewers and fresh caprese. The cocktails were great, and the draft beer selection was extensive and different, which was appreciated!

Money on Fire Before This Place
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. The reviewer stated, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me. " This sentiment was followed by a strong declaration: "I'd set my money on fire before I'd spend it here.
" The reviewer also highlighted significant issues with wheelchair accessibility, noting, "As you can see from this video, this is not a safe place for people with disabilities. " The reviewer provided a rating of 1 for Service, Atmosphere, and Food.
