Stopped here while walking around the neighborhood on a warm weekday - San Francisco was in the middle of a heat wave, so it felt like the perfect excuse to stop for a cold beer (or three). I actually used to live in the neighborhood and the last time I came here was back in the ’80s, and it’s great to see that it really hasn’t changed much at all. The bartender was friendly and they had a good selection of beers on tap and in bottles. I stuck with beer, while my wife ordered a vodka soda and appreciated the generous pour. Overall, a great neighborhood bar to cool off and relax. Nice to see some places in the city stay true to themselves

I love this place. The bartenders are friendly, wonderful, and very attentive. Everyone knows each other and if you walk in and don't know someone, give it time, and everyone will know you. They have a great bar selection with a plethora of 0 alcohol beverages, 0 alcohol beer, 0 alcohol cider, and they even have herbal tea and coffee- it's a great bar to hang out at if you want to enjoy the bar atmosphere and not have a hangover the next day. I love the food; The veggie burger (black bean and beet) is wonderful, and the fries are great, the whole menu is amazing. I mostly eat the veggie burger (it's huge, sometimes me and my hubby will share it), the nachos, and the pretzel with honey. the folks there really care about the community and their patrons. Highly recommend checking this place out when you are in the Lower Haight and you won't want to leave.
