Can't Wait to Go Back!
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. I visited during the pandemic, and the service provided by Sunny was so nice. I can't wait to go back, and the drinks were so good 👍.

Seedy bar with terrible service
DO NOT COME HERE! My experience was overwhelmingly negative. The bartender seemed upset about serving water, even though we purchased multiple drinks. There was also a regular who was aggressive and seemed ready to fight over the pool table. This bar has a very seedy atmosphere and gives off a vibe of looking for drugs. There was nothing redeeming about the experience.

Closed Despite Being Open
Despite showing as open, this establishment seemed very much shuttered for business. I walked across San Francisco to find a closed bar.

Restaurant closed during business hours
I had a frustrating experience at this restaurant. I visited at 11: 30 AM and again at 12: 00 PM on a Friday, expecting it to be open, but it was closed. This was quite inconvenient as I had made a specific trip to dine there.

Horrible Pool, Dusty Atmosphere
I did not try the food during my visit. My experience with the pool table was horrible, and the bar and atmosphere were dusty. It's okay if you only want to drink, but it's horrible to play pool.

A Cool Local Dive Bar Vibe
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great spot with a cool local clientele. It reminded me of the dive bars I used to love in Manhattan, back when Manhattan was still cool. The service, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect 5/5 rating.

Great Bar, Misses Guinness
My experience at this place was that it's a throwback. It has a good bar to get the night started in North Beach. The lady behind the bar has been there for over 20 years, and she just keeps getting saltier, but in a good way! The only con is that they don't serve Guinness anymore. If they still did, I'd live there. Oh well, pass the beer nuts.

Fun Dive with Great Owners
My experience at this restaurant was defined by its great owners and a fun vibe. It's a super duper dive, and I love it. There's a coin permanently stuck in the juke box, and there are couches.

Perfect Bar with Strong Drinks
My experience at this bar was perfect. The drinks are 99% liquor, which I appreciated. The atmosphere smelled like perfection, and the locals were kind and deeply holy. It was a truly unique and positive experience.

Gross Experience, Avoid This Place
Not gonna lie. It's gross. Upon walking in, the place smells like a convalescent home with smokers. The kitchen area was smoky, and there were no customers because staff were smoking darts in the back. When the music stopped, the staff didn't bother to restart it. I ordered a drink, and the barkeep had to walk to the wall to read what was in it. The glass arrived with specs of something foreign on the rim. I ended up sticking to bottled beer, which was cold. However, I'm unsure about their pricing for large orders.
