“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!“

“Fun experience here. We sat at the bar, and I overheard many customers asking who’s working or customers greeting the staff. Definitely felt like the staff is well known in this neighborhood and has a lot of regular customers. Great to see.

The menu is awesome. Very cool and caught me by surprise as I grew up as a wrestling fan. It felt nostalgic and made it fun to choose a drink.

It seemed like a seasonal or rotating menu since I heard the bartender say this was our new menu. The Andre the Giant drink was the best of the three we ordered (Roddy Rowdy Piper and Rey Mysterio).

The charred cabbage was great. Never thought I would order a cabbage dish, but the description made it appetizing.

They also played great classic hip hop music.“

“Absolutely love this place! We recently had a pre-wedding family dinner here for about 50 people, and we ordered party platters. The planning process with them was easy, and they were great about making sure I didn’t over order.

Everything was delicious! I’m especially obsessed with the blue cheese they had on the cheese platter, and hands down their fish and chips are the thing that keeps me coming into this place.

In addition to how tasty everything is, the staff is what seals the deal on this special place. The hospitality is genuine - feels like you’re hanging out in Auntie’s back yard. They even have a photo booth which always is a plus! The inside of the bar is gorgeous, and as someone that’s been coming here for years now, I can attest to how incredible the glow up of the back patio space is - BRAVO!

TLDR; if you’re considering having a larger party/event here - DO IT! I truly love this place.“

“Lavay Smith sings there on Sunday evenings“

“Had a lovely time both times I went. The speakeasy has very chill vibes and the board game room is really nice. Drinks were immaculate. Can't wait to try the escape room.“

“Outstanding. Very compact, yet thoughtful menu, paired with flawless execution. Every dish was a hit. Service was very attentive and seamless you almost don’t notice it. Big thank you to the team at The Morris, I would absolutely come back.“

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

“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.“

“Great local spot for Bernal Heights area! A creative fusion of pub food with an Asian American flair! The fish and chips are fabulous. The smashburger is amazing. We love the fries and the gochujang ketchup. For pickled kimchi is amazing. I like the popcorn chicken and spare ribs as well! The owner's super nice. It's a great place to meet locals. Got to check it out!“

“The Korner Store is a private event space now. I sent an inquiry in for a Saturday night booking, and received prompt response with a quote and some options. There's a minimum food and drink amount. I coordinated a walk through of the space and made a deposit!

The hosts and owners (Ina and Nick) are incredibly helpful throughout the booking and night of the event. My ~40 guests enjoyed the Korean food and full bar. We had a fantastic time in the private space. The venue has tv screens, music inputs, DJ and dance area, karaoke, and an optional photobooth. I highly recommend considering The Korner Store for your next event.“

“Eric… I think the world would be a better place if guys like Eric ran it. An acute study of the human condition, Eric has a witty and educated comment for every instance. He has deigned to grace this establishment with his presence and we who have sojourned to the establishment during his shifts have been eternally enlightened. A doyen of the craft of mixology, he is behind the bar tossing, pouring, and swooshing with insouciance. Be forewarned: should you cross the threshold of the half opened door, you do so at your peril; for the only thing flying faster than the bitters and fine spirits, is the malarkey from this font of humor and the dollars from your purse!“

“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.“

“Great place to get shareable plates. We were a group of 3 mildly hungry ladies who ordered 5 items and left satisfied, but not stuffed. Every plate I've ever had here has been unique and flavorful. How lucky we are to have such a wonderful plant-based restaurant here in the Castro.“

“My friend and I were visiting CA from Tunisia and stopped here for a taste of home. The chef's dishes are delicious and showcase his unique personal touch on classic recipes. We enjoyed everything we ate, and especially recommend the spicy cauliflower and deviled eggs. The meat in the tagines was incredibly tender and flavorful. As we say in Tunisia, Saha w bishfe! Enjoy!“

“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!“

“Fiona was super friendly and gave amazing recommendations! we just happened to stumble across this place and didn’t know what to expect. she was super inviting and took very good care of us which really made our night. highly recommend to try out the london, midori sour, and passion cocktails. check out their happy hour for deals too!“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“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!🍷“

“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!“

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

“One of my favorites in SF! Food/wine list constantly changing with seasonal offerings. The team delivers excellent and efficient service as well. It's compact but not overly loud. Sitting at the bar next to the open kitchen is a great way to experience Buddy.“

“Fantastic craft cocktails!“

“What an amazing hidden gem! This spot is a whole vibe, including bar seating, a patio and a room with board games and a TV.
Offering inexpensive craft cocktails and affordable meals, it's definitely worth checking out!
Must trys:
-Clam and crab chowder
-Crispy wings
-Tomato soup w/grilled cheese
Ethan is amazing and I can tell he knows his guests on a personal level...kinda like Cheers! It's definitely a good vibe!
Only regret...not getting photos to show off!!!“

“We wondered into this bar trying to find a place to hang before dinner and its the best. The crowds are minimal but its very welcoming. And Eugene (gene) is such a great bartender. Give them a flavor profile your trying to get and they will make the best drink. Also great music!!!“

“An enchanting and magical place.“

“Just visited Asiento for the 1st time and really liked it! Fun vibe, bartender was really nice, had some super tasty carnitas tacos, and there was a great dj playing (and the music wasn't so loud we couldn't talk). Would definitely go back!“

“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!“

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

“Been 3x since this beautiful space opened up!
The chef has put together an incredible lunch and dinner menu, every dish is flavorful, balanced and beautifully plated. My favorites are the crudo, caesar salad, spiced olives, and braised beef cheek!!
The staff and bar program are excellent.
10/10 recommend this spot for happy hour, lunch/dinner, or good for company events bc location“

“I loved the drag on Sundays ! It was amazing“

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

“A real locals only kind of place where the floor is permanently tacky, the bathroom has seen things that would legally qualify as maritime disasters, and there’s at least one sun-bleached guy named “Sharky” who hasn’t worn real shoes since 1998.

The decor is “nautical decay,” the IPA tastes faintly of salt and regret, and every surface looks like it survived both a hurricane and a beach boys metal tribute band.

There’s a surfboard on the ceiling signed by someone who might be famous, but no one’s sure.
Basically: if Poseidon had a DUI and opened a bar, that’s the vibe. I regret nothing“

“Lively environment and customers. Really fun!“

“Delicious Food and Great Service! Had the Samosas and the Momos to eat and paired with the ABCD and Rose Water cocktails and the flavors really complimented themselves. Didn’t take any photos cause I devoured everything too quickly. Go in and try it for yourself“

“The food is fantastic drinks are great and the staff is amazing“
