“Very oceanside good burger mmmmm“

“One of my absolute favorite restaurants in SF. Visited a few times and this past one really reminded me why this place is special. The food is fantastic, but never pretentious. Maggie mentioned her favorite item was the salad which I couldn’t believe, but to be honest I think it was my favorite too. The black cod and the daikon rice cake were also insanely good. The service was exception, huge shout out to Maggie for her help with our allergies too. Highly recommend!!“

“Smugglers cove is the cutest tiki bar! Beautiful decor

What a drink menu, it’s so good! Many cocktails to choose from and the bartenders are phenomenal. The drinks here are an art form and the presentation was excellent

Sat with our group in lower level it was pretty warm in there!

Must stop if you in the area!“

“Awesome Tiki Bar and a must visit if your into Tiki or themed bars“

“Great location and food. Warm staff too.“

“Beautiful ambiance, attentive service, delicious food and drinks, and VERY memorable tiramisu. An all around excellent choice when dining out for a special occasion! Would highly recommend.“

“First time for Ducks vs. Trojans game. Great ambience, TV distribution great and could hear the broadcast. Bartenders were super friendly and on it! Met some really nice people along the way. Will be back for sure, make the Wreck Room a priority!“

“Saw LA witch at Killowatt and it was amazing.“

“Quirky little pub in a nice neighborhood. We stumbled upon it by chance and felt at home right away 👍😀 Unforgettable atmosphere and wonderful people, including the owner, staff and patrons! 🥳🍻👍😀“

“Great bar and bartender! Arno was a pure gentleman! Great spot for a late night drink after the crowds have cleared North Beach. We were the only two people in there on NYD at midnight but the bartender made us feel welcome and happily gave us great service even though the streets were dead. He also pointed us to a premium sandwich shop for lunch the next day. $14 specialty cocktails and $5 beers too!“

“Trashy clientele, inconsistent and overpriced drinks, broken games, and early closing because the staff is lazy. This place is a joke, a disgrace to the Emporium name.“

“Amazing staff. Lovely owners out of this work drinks and mock tails and the plants !!!!“

“Always fun place wonderful experience“

“What a fantastic spot in the financial district! We were staying in town for a wedding, and this was such a great spot close to our hotel. Patrick (the owner) and his team were all a 10/10! Can’t wait to return.“

“Can’t beat the rustic atmosphere and the bartender was very friendly and informative.“

“😃🥰nice place for cocktails“

“Lively environment and customers. Really fun!“

“Omg, they play DISCO music!!!! Yes!!! That, the bartenders and the atmosphere. I totally dig this place!“

“Amazingly weird, a real gem. Strange and wonderful interior with a wildly good beer selection and the owner, Remat, is a genuine “only in SF” character. Go for the decor, stay for the sour beer, and support a neighborhood bar that could never be imitated.“

“Nice place & the best bartenders!“

“Their Chandelier, the drink, not the light fixture, is amazing. I saw a liqueur i was unfamiliar with, Cynar, and the bartender told me all about it. Sebastian introduced me to two incredible cocktails made with it. It's rare to find a bartender that is so willing to share their love of their craft with an ignorant beer guy like me without being snobby. I can't wait to go here next time I'm in SF.“

“Wonderful Bar tender Alec and staff 😄. Loved it!“

“The atmosphere and bar itself was so much fun, the bar staff was incredibly friendly and kind. However, we paid for a private party and the DJ refused to take requests. I understand it is under his discretion to play what he wants, but he refused to play the songs the private party requested. I personally asked him to play a song and he told me he would, I never heard the song so I went back to him to ask about it playing and he told me it was going to be played soon. I never heard the song and when I asked him one more time, he said it’s no longer within your parties time frame and I can play whatever I want. I said that’s disappointing because I asked him to play the song during our private party event at this bar and he told me that’s not longer his problem and he was extremely rude. Very disappointing because this bar and the rest of the staff were amazing, but this DJ was rude and a real let down. Especially for how much money we spent for this bar for a birthday party. Do not suggest the bar hires this DJ again based on how he talked to customers.“

“I love performing their can't wait to go back“

“Had such a lovely time at this quaint B&B in SF. The staff was very friendly, as were the other guests. The breakfast had a nice selection of pastries, and the coffee was plentiful 🥐 ☕️ The room was cozy and pretty clean. Loved having the wine social hour in the evening - twas a perfect chance to hang out in one of the many outdoor areas 😍 Great neighborhood too!“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“This is a FABulous, family-owned and operated bar that absolutely does take credit cards, despite many reviews (connected to prior owners perhaps) saying they don't.

We were there for Thanksgiving and Sully was working non-stop behind the bar, his wife turned the pool table into a Thanksgiving day spread that could have competed with grandma's dinner!

All were invited to a California-style holiday, where you could bring the family you chose to spend the day with, while making new friends if you were interested in doing that. No shopping, cooking or cleaning up. And amazingly they didn't even charge visitors for the meal!

Everything was wonderful!

Another guest brought an addictive, spicy, NOLA influenced oyster stuffing that we must come back for next year! OMG

I don't know if there's any food normally, but we were very lucky to have discovered this bar, any day of the year!

And with Sully and his wife's decades in this business, they've created a very friendly, but also extremely professional , local neighborhood bar. They've also lined the walls with great, music-themed photos and Bay Area concert posters that add to the vibe!

And while their Irish coffee is as good as The Buena Vista, the price is much more palatable !“

“Beautiful and knowledgeable staff! Clean and safe ! European flair ! A must see!!“

“This place is sooo BOMB!
I mean wicked good!
Staff are awesome.
The food is awesome.
The vibe is awesome.
Always catering to US.
I’m sooo glad this place is still here.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS HERE!“

“You must try the guava cider and fish and chips with the mushy peas! I dont know why I liked the peas so much, but I did. Pascal is a great bartender and makes sure youre taken care of and does it with such warmth. Definitely come here for free games of pool on Mondays and trivia on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!“

“Great place for a beer before a show at The Independent“

“The place was very nice, we're visiting the area for a work conference and came here with our colleagues and partners after the training for the day was done. We felt a little out of place since most of the bars where we come from aren't as unique, they only have ingredients to make whats on the menu and can't make regular requested drinks. The bar tender gave us funny looks when we asked question, but did his best to explain things without making us feel dumb. I would come here again, but I feel I need to educate myself on fancy bar etiquette.“

“Buena atención y todo delicioso“

“Best pub in SF! Shout out to my favorite Canucks fan 🤙🍻“

“Great bartenders, so welcoming& makes an awesome Old Fashion, makes you feel like a family“

“If I'm in San Francisco, it's a mandatory stop for me for an evening or late-night bite!“

“International flavor...great patio and vibe. It's a landmark.“

“Visiting from Kansas for the long weekend and stumbled upon this local meet up. Great cash only spot with affordable drinks and delicious Indian food available to order at the bar. The butter chicken was delicious but the real winner was the saag paneer! What a treat since we don’t get this diverse food back home. Love San Fran!“
