“Really creative space and community! It’s an old establishment too. I remember walking it as a kiddo not knowing what it was and I know my whole family and I felt safe. I felt safe as an adult going in to hang out and socialize too. Thanks for being a beautiful and rather humble community throughout the years!“

“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.
There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.
Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.
To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.“
“Great dive bar! Had a blast with friends. Prices are fair. Lots of friendly security looking out for the safety of the ladies. Lots of drink choices & actual gourmet meals not greasy bar food like other places.
I opted for a glass of Veuve Clicquot Brut French champagne and a Vegan appetizer. Live music & DJ's. Good music. Lots to look at! And room to dance.
Love, love love would return again and again. What a treat. 💜🥂“

“My new favorite dive bar in the city. A great blues band was playing the night we went and the atmosphere was fun and full of happiness. Excellent and creative cocktails (the Bee's Knees and the ginger cocktail are very much recommended). Service was exceptional, we'll be definitely coming back! Love this place, A+++
Parking: best to get here via ride share because parking is extremely difficult to find.“
“No frills, no cliques, best cheaper drinks, 3 generations when I was there last.“
“I had a total blast! Very retro vibe. Amazing people.“
“El Rio is such a classic SF spot. The backyard patio is honestly the best part — super spacious and perfect for dancing or just hanging with friends. The crowd was really inclusive and the energy felt like a big backyard party. Drinks were reasonably priced for SF too. Definitely a great place if you want a fun, lively night out.“
“Great local and visitor’s vibe. Family experience as a local guest. Good billiards talent… I’m home from the hospital today, Dovre family.“
“If you are not looking for overpriced crafted cocktails and pretending wannabes, but for an honest cold beer after work aswell as down-to-earth-folks, this is your place to go.Fair bartenders, nice karaoke on Friday, always someone to play pool against.“
“Great local bar. Been around since 1930's.“
“Stopped by for a drink and realized there 49ers were playing in the playoffs. Drink was great, patrons friendly, and there was a nice spread of food for guests. I didn't eat anything, but my companion enjoyed a fully loaded hot dog and a bowl of chili. The bartender was a Rockstar! She manned that bar all by herself.“

“Super cute rooftop. Pizza one is one of the best pizza I've ever ate. The rooftop smash cocktail is now my favorite drink. I took a picture of the ingredients and made it at home †that's how good it was. Definitely coming back. The customer service was outstanding. I will for sure come back with all my girls so we can day drink haha“
“This place was AWESOME. Best dive bar I've been to in a good long while. If you were a bar kid from the 80's or 90's - this will feel like home to you. Pitchers of Pacifo? Check. Pool table? Check. AWESOME bartender who is engaging, witty, you WANT to tip $5 just because they deserve it, and knows their role better than Marlon Brando? Check. Windows on both restroom doors? Ummm. Check..... Still cool though. It's not a huge place - put there is a good amount of seating and the bar seating is where it's at. Good vibe of younger and older local crowd too.
Our group of five ponied up to the bar and wished we would have spent the whole evening there instead of wasting it at other more trendy bars in the area prior. Needless to say - we spent the rest of the night at the Phone Booth. Serious A++“
“Awesome dive bar in the Mission. Came here with a bunch of people after a work party nearby and it really kept the party mood going, in fact it dialed it to 11. Great music, friendly locals, good selection of drinks, TVs for the sports minded, a pool table, and yes peep-a-boo mens room - after a few drinks you won't worry about someone outside getting a glimpse of your junk when the door is open.“
“Nice place to have fun... Lindo lugar para divertirse sanamente“

“This place is amazing! If you love small town friendliness, this place is for you. We are out of towners and stopped in once on the way to the airport and we were feed for free and served glorious drinks from a very friendly staff. We have visited many times since. Don’t listen to the haters. If you like dive bars……this is the place. We still play “Scottie doesn’t know” for them regularly from home and call to confirm that they know it’s us.lol“
