“Stopped in to Newell's for a pre dinner drink. We just kind of stumbled on this place. How does one know where to get a good cocktail when you're an out of towner!?
Well let me tell you about Newell's.. The bartender was fabulous! She wasn't even sure what a certain drink was but she more than nailed it! It was right on! My Cadillac margarita was potent! I managed to wobble out of there to my next destination.. but barely! They do not serve food but our sweet bartender brought popcorn in order to save me embarrassment! It was a fun experience and I think I may have to return!“

“There’s something magical about this bar and I just kept going back to it in the 2 months I stayed in SF. Def my fav bar in the area. They have such creative menu of cocktails and update the menu every 6 months. Super busy on Friday and weekend nights but bartenders make sure you’re taken care of. Just need a little time for them to get to you. Fun vibe and just so good drinks. Outdoor seating is pretty nice.“

“Lavay Smith sings there on Sunday evenings“

“Casual bar with some really great (unexpected) cocktail options (and beer too of course). They also had a variety of food on their menu. The indoor space is cozy and intimate, and they have a large back space (both covered and uncovered) for larger groups of people. We hung out at the back, there was plenty of room on a Friday night. Service was excellent (didn't have to wait too long at the bar to place orders, they also do table service if everyone is on one tab). I tried one of their gin based cocktails which was excellent. Didn't order food but what people were having looked good. Would definitely come back.“

“Really cool local bar…..the first time I ever tried Flor de Caña was from here…..all the proofs! Nice crowd, service, atmosphere, good drinks, vibe & bar bites! 👍🏿“

“Food? Fantastic.
Drinks? Gorgeous (no surprise)

But a bar of this caliber providing service and hospitality this inspiringly warm is truly something special. From the front door staff and beyond everyone was exceptional. Jessie, the bartender was a true highlight of a much too short San Fran trip. First on my list to revisit when I’m back“

“My partner and I really enjoyed our dinner and drinks tonight. Will absolutely recommend the peanut noodles & scallion pancakes. Our server gave super helpful recs and was perfectly attentive. Totally coming back here after the terrific meal we just had!“

“So I was lucky enough to give this place a try during a closed event hosted by the Seoul sisters and the Hoo Lee Gans. Pretty cool vibe and atmosphere when you walk in. Extensive drink list and pretty skilled bartenders tend to your thirsty soul while the home cooked Korean style street food dishes caress your belly. As it was a closed event , the food was a buffet style, help yourself and gubble it up style. Regardless the food was spot on. I really enjoyed the onion pancake. This dish is as simple as it looks it is actually rather tricky to make. The popcorn chicken was tender, the kimchi zesty yet firm and tender.
I suggest you give it a try and work yourself through their menu.“

“The Lore Speakeasy Alice & Wonderland Escape Room experience was Absolutely Incredible!!! Lots of puzzles that were difficult but not impossible. Our host was funny and super responsive throughout the room. The drinks were good. We had such a fun time and I highly recommend to anyone even remotely interested. Afterwards we stayed for drinks and bites and these were delicious as well.“

“Very Cool Spot but had not Been Inside in like 35 + Years !! It was a Very Different Bar and if i remember correctly Super Creepy !! These guys Did a Great Job with the Remodel and i will Go Back and Check it out Further / i didn't Drink or Eat anything as it was a Political Action and Tenants Rights Meeting.“

“Fun surfer punk dive bar with cheap drinks and outdoor patio, complete with surfboards. Free popcorn and occasional handcrafted wood oven Italian pizza for sale outside. Surprisingly, many big names have played at this tiny beach venue, like The Mummies & Supersuckers! This place continues to create new memories for me each time!“

“One great cocktail, one not as much. Can't remember the name but collins glass was very refreshing while the smaller one (smoked mezcal) was very smoky to the point where it was harsh. Went there around midnight, it was pretty damn hot in the bar.“

“Met my wife here how can I not love it!“

“First time there, food is tasty.“

“Fantastic craft cocktails!“

“I can’t rate the food because all I had was a dirty martini but the vibes were right in this joint! I’d come back for sure and try the food. Can get a tad rowdy but it just depends on the crowd. Overall I recommend this place and I’ll be back myself!“

“Excellent espresso coffee, friendly service and a lovely brunch menu. I look forward to returning sometime for dinner. The chef’s were prepping a range of fresh looking ingredients and the smells emanating from the kitchen were beautiful!“

“Great spot in the Sunset for a classy drink.“

“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.“

“What a great place. The bartenders are super nice which is really important anywhere you go. They really get to know you and welcome you! The place is also beautiful. Apparently it used to be a dive bar so it has some diversity still because those old patrons still come. So it is not snobby at all!“

“Found this gem on a random Wednesday waiting to drop off my. Bestie at the airport after flight was delayed. Highly recommend this place!! Cheap, STRONG drinks. If you are not a professional do not attempt this maneuver without a designated driver!!! Outstanding specialty cocktail menu. Everyone was super friendly. We even got free pizza (that was delicious) from next door.. Didn’t get the bartenders names but they were awesome. After playing Scotty doesn’t know 3 times on the jukebox I k ow they won’t forget us. Even the guy that came in to clean their taps was great. Outdoor patio was cute but it was raining so we didn’t get to enjoy it. Will definitely be back with reinforcements.“

“Holy moly, this place was great! The food is tasty & beautifully served. The service was great & Hannah made terrific suggestions. Really well done!“

“Really good pizzas! Loved the crusts and the sauce.“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.“

“Excellent! This is my fav restaurant in San Francisco recommended by friends. My husband and I went and everything was incredible. Amy was lovely and so was our waiter (I wish I asked her name!) They accommodated a seed oil allergy as well as no sugar. Felt so taken care of. Loved everything we had — steak, halibut, cabbage, duck liver, etc. Hats off to the chef. I hope one day they will brine the duck w honey so I can have it because it looks divine. If you come to San Francisco, The Morris is a must!“

“Great atmosphere, food and the best Rüdesheimer kaffee, Silvia prepares most of the ingredients from scratch and let me say it is by far the best kaffee I have ever had. Love sitting at the bar, and watch her create this amazing drink!!! Will be back soon!“

“Hannah is so amazing! She’s so attentive and checked in on us even before our drinks were on L (bottomless who?!) and on a Wednesday! She has amazing recommendations! But if you’re a beer bottler like me, make sure to have a cocktail list on the roster because they only have 3 beers on rotation 🫠 we also need to help the owner fill up the rest of the liquor shelf!
Suggestions: Sailor Jerry’s: who doesn’t love a good spiced rum?
Buzz ball bash?! Fall is near us and ya need to do some BOO-zie drinks to entice the crowd 👻
NINERS FANS WHO?! The DEEBO Daiquiri will have you bleeding red and gold at the end of the day 🏈 🍹“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“This was our first time here. We thought we'd try Tunisian food. We had the deviled eggs with shrimp as an appetizer and it was excellent! I had the stuffed peppers, and hubby had the lamb tagine. We both liked the food, and the sauces, and the bread, and finished almost all of it. We took a couple pieces of the homemade bread home with us because it was so good. We liked this place a lot, and will come again soon.“

“Hip decor….. Awesome staff!!“

“Excellent espresso coffee, friendly service and a lovely brunch menu. I look forward to returning sometime for dinner. The chef’s were prepping a range of fresh looking ingredients and the smells emanating from the kitchen were beautiful!“

“Exceeded expectations. Extensive menu. Highly recommended!“

“An enchanting and magical place.“

“My husband and I enjoyed our dinner very much! He had the Paparadele and I had the beet salad and pizza. They were both delicious! We definitely will be going back!🍷“

“I recommend the “Tinga” tacos or sopes 👍🏼“

“An incredibly creative chef. This was genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Every dish was a symphony of flavors, beautifully balanced and unforgettable. The food and the mocktails were both exceptional. I recommend this place to absolutely everyone, vegan or not. It’s truly a standout experience.

The service and ambience were also great.“

“Best dining experience I’ve had since I moved here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant 💚💚💚“

“The oysters were fresh and sweet, and the Caesar salad was excellent — I especially loved the sardines and crunchy croutons. The cioppino was flavorful with generous seafood, though it only came with one small slice of crostini, which wasn’t quite enough to soak up the broth. Unfortunately, the linguine with clams was disappointing — the sauce was watery, bland, and lacked any garlic flavor. The brownie sundae was decent, nothing to rave about but a nice finish.

Service was just okay. Our server seemed a bit inexperienced — two entrées came out first, and we had to wait about five minutes for the third. The table wasn’t wiped down before dessert, and even after I asked for extra napkins (which I needed for the crab in the cioppino), they never came. Overall, some dishes shined, but the inconsistencies in food and service made the experience feel uneven.“

“The No Cover Cabaret is great! The bar is nice and cozy, Bartenders are friendly and a free burlesque show on Fridays!! This is San Francisco alright! Welcome!“

“Great entertainment and hosts!!!“

“Great spot! Good bartenders, friendly crowd and laid back vibe. Dog friendly as one would expect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wow. What a Great addition to the neighborhood. A lively pub with great American Classic menu items. Movies on the wall for kids. Live music. Back patio. Fantastic friendly and competent service. Great local beers. Best burger I’ve had in a long time (disclaimer: I live in Mexico now).“

“Great fun!!! Hosts and servers were super nice!!! Cocktails: YUM!!!“

“Great venue. L, X“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“Great ambience - large screen TVs that need to be updated though - amazing bartender - Jason who pours great drinks and very friendly and helpful - but who has Caymus in small wine glasses - pls help give the good alcohol you have the right respect owners! Thank you!“

“We were initially worried that the menu was so huge they couldn't do everything great and – but they did! The four of us ordered something from every part of the menu and everything was delicious and well prepared. We especially appreciated the advice on spiciness – all of us, but one love spicy food, but we were warned that their level of spice is higher than most people‘s comfort level. So we ordered medium, and that was just perfect. We tried the Momo, the tikka masala, roti, samosas, and the delicious chicken sandwich believe it or not. Everything was wonderful. The server seemed new and a little clueless, but very friendly and helpful.“
