Cute Spot Near Transamerica Pyramid
What a cute little place tucked away near the Transamerica pyramid! The ambience is delightful and the food/drinks are great. Can get busy with the happy hour crowd.

A Quick Drink Hit the Spot
I just came here for a quick drink before catching a film. The Old Cuban satisfied as a nice rum cocktail.

Food made a tough game bearable
I watched my Saints lose to the 49ers as I dined. The food made the loss more bearable.

Delicious Cocktails and Spicy Delights
My experience at this restaurant was centered around enjoying cocktails and munchies. The sliders were particularly delicious. For those who enjoy heat, I highly recommend trying the Hellraiser. The chorizo cheese dip was also really good.

Good Happy Hour Food, Loud Atmosphere
My experience at the restaurant was during happy hour. I found the quality of the wine to be good, and the bar food menu was tasty. However, the happy hour can get really loud, which is common for places catering to a working crowd.

Unique Menu, Great Service!
My experience at the restaurant was great. The menu was somewhat unique, and the cocktails were good. I particularly enjoyed the fried pickles and sliders. The service and staff were also great. You really can't go wrong here.

Great Hidden Spot for Lunch or Happy Hour
My experience at this restaurant was great! It's a hidden gem perfect for grabbing lunch, dinner, or enjoying happy hour in the Financial District. It's typically not super crowded, which is a plus. The queso is amazing and the sliders are good too. They have a varied menu that should please many different eaters, and a sizeable drink list. It's definitely worth a visit!

Great Atmosphere and Food for Groups
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The atmosphere was good, and the food was also good. The prices were fair. It's a good choice for groups in the evening that want to socialize and hear each other.

Spirited Happy Hour Spot
My experience was at a spirited happy hour spot located off a pedestrian-dominant side street. Around 5: 30 PM on a weekday, the small but well-curated selection of draught beers was paired perfectly with a bright 70s soul playlist. I suspect it would be a nice place to be a usual.

Disappointing Service and Uninspired Salads
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The service was kind of lousy, which was surprising given that the place wasn't busy. The salads were not very exciting and took forever to come out; we suspect they forgot part of our order. I won't be returning anytime soon.
