“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!“

“I've been here several times for cocktails. My favorite is the Chinatown pretty. I had no idea that the food was so good! The kale salad was massive and delicious. The avocado flavor in the salad was so good. The pork buns were also super flavorful. Overall the food really exceeded my expectations :)“

“I threw my partner a birthday party here and the staff went out of their way to make everything easy and fun. They were incredibly busy because of an event in the Mission and yet still checked in on our party and provided whatever we needed. In addition to their huge awesome patio, they have good food (not just good for a bar) and really good cocktails. They have free live music on the weekends. Always a good time. Highly recommended. I’ve never had a bad time here.“

“Lavay Smith sings there on Sunday evenings“

“Exceeded expectations. Extensive menu. Highly recommended!“

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

“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.“

“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! 👍🏿“

“Really nice place with some great food. The charteruie board was great, the duck was fantastic and the drinks were great.

Unfortunately another guest got really drunk and started puking outside. I don't blame that on the restaurant or the staff, but just unlucky I guess.“

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

“Such a fantastic spot! I originally wanted to stop by The Rabbit Hole to try the beers on tap from Sugoi Brewing (which we're both fantastic by the way), but was blown away by the entire experience. The vibe, the staff, the food, and the prices all exceeded my expectations. We can't wait to come back and try some other dishes. Also, perfect date spot!“

“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.“

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

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

“After unfriendly service at side a, we tried true laurel instead and we were blown away by how accommodating and welcoming the staff were to us and our child. Service is great, drinks and food are phenomenal. Do not skip the mushrooms! 10/10“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“An enchanting and magical place.“

“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!🍷“

“WILL. BE. BACK. WOW!!! Truly an incredible experience. The service, the atmosphere and the ambience, the food, the cocktails we’re all exquisite. If I had the money, I would try everything on the menu in one sitting. But I will be back to try everything in increments. It was so lovely there and my friend and I just really enjoyed ourselves in that space. I can’t wait to try the udon and the peach dessert. I forget our waiter’s name, but he had a mustache and he was so above and beyond, and deserves all of the tips that you could ever think of. Pretty much all the staff deserves all the tips and handshakes and blessings that you could give them because they all were so nice and welcoming and great at their jobs. I really do love this place and hope it lasts for a very long time. Thank you Aiso!!!!!“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere here. The vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. The drinks were excellent, and I loved that there were games available, which made the experience feel more interactive and fun. The crowd was friendly, conversations flowed easily, and the overall energy was laid-back without feeling boring. A great spot to meet up with friends, catch up over drinks, or simply enjoy a relaxed evening out. I'll definitely be back!“

“Fantastic craft cocktails!“

“First time there, food is tasty.“

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

“Love The Halfway Club!! Great food and drinks and super friendly staff here. It’s also extremely dog friendly! There’s an outdoor patio that’s great for dogs.

The food is truly delicious. I was a big fan of their new menu with the miso maple brussel sprouts. Their chicken sando and grilled cheese are also fantastic. They have excellent drinks as well. Staff here are super nice and welcoming. Love that the excelsior has this place.“

“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!“

“I had a great time here for Wednesday night's Big Weird Trivia! Pub trivia is more fun when there is a great food menu and specialty cocktails are available! Our table ordered tacos, chips and guac, a vegan burger and fries, lemon hummus, spinach balls, fresh rice paper hand rolls. As the winners of the night's trivia quiz, we were also gifted a desert of cinnamon toast crunch chips!

I highly recommend for food, cocktails, and trivia host, Micah!“

“Great entertainment and hosts!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 venue. L, X“

“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“
