Bear Vs Bull - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was generally positive. The food was good and the drinks were also enjoyable. The place itself is really nice, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. However, the pub quiz was played on a phone, which felt a bit dodgy. Overall, it's a nice place with good food and drinks.

My experience at the "Bear vs. Bull" bar, located within the historic New Mission Theater at Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco, was quite unique. The bar's name is inspired by a historical rumor of animal fights, and the menu thoughtfully reflects this theme with locally sourced ingredients and California-centric selections. The atmosphere was rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5, indicating a high level of satisfaction with both the dining and environmental aspects. The service was equally impressive, also scoring a 5. Given the price per person is between $1–10, this establishment offers excellent value. The historical significance of the building, a San Francisco Designated Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places, adds to the overall appeal.

My experience at this restaurant was like stepping into a dive bar within a theater. It's a great hang spot, perfect for visiting before or after a show.

My experience at this restaurant was marked by great vibes and great staff. The beer selection was impressive, and while the cocktails were basic, they served their purpose. I'd love to see an enhanced cocktail program, though it seems there are limitations on complexity due to the need for timely service to the theaters. Overall, it's a place with good drinks and bites.

My experience at the restaurant was positive. The drinks were tasty. We visited on a Tuesday and although the restaurant was closing early for an event, we still enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was very intimate and cozy. The service was not bad at all. I would return.

My experience was that this restaurant is conveniently located inside the movie theater. It's a good option for small groups looking for a bite before catching a film. It was not as crowded as pre-pandemic times.

I had a horrible experience with the bartender photographed. He was racist and told my friends and I to “kick rocks. ” He proceeded to call us derogatory names and put us out while other patrons sat comfortably in their chairs until they were done with their drinks. I don’t know how someone that works in hospitality thinks it’s appropriate to communicate that way, but my friend and I weren’t even disrespectful towards him for him to react that way. He got upset because we asked if we could get one more round before they closed. He expressed that the bar was closed, so we dropped it, and he just kept going. I am absolutely disgusted with the treatment here and I suggested you all avoid this bar at all costs. They do not deserve your presence, attention, or money. I moved here from NYC and have never been treated with such disrespect.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative due to the rude staff and horrible customer service. We left shortly after ordering because the staff was unwelcoming and even yelled at us for ordering rounds of shots. I would avoid this place at all costs!

My experience was excellent! I discovered a true treasure hidden inside the movie theater. The cocktails were amazing, and the ambiance was cool. I also enjoyed the company of the friendly patrons. Overall, it was an excellent experience, two thumbs up 👍👍.

My experience at this bar was that it is super dark. However, it's not a bad place for a drink and perhaps some pinball.
