“This past Saturday I decided to check out this place with my friends after the game. They have a variety of drink selections and a decent food menu options, including some vegetarian-friendly dishes. Service was 10/10! The girl who was helping us was friendly and patient with my friend, when she was struggling because of her English. All of us had a great time here. Glad we decided to give this place a try and will return! Inner Richmond is not the most difficult neighborhood to find parking for in the city, but it can still be a hit or miss. Recommend people to just Lyft/Uber/Waymo.”

“I popped in for the first time because I heard they had great Halloween decor. That was a fact. I wasn’t expecting 2 of the worst drinks I’ve ever had…in the best way possible! 😂 Our bartender was Jax and he was a hella good time. My friend asked him to make a “Brain Hemorrhage” shot, which we felt was needed due to the festive atmosphere. Jax was super cool about making something he’d never heard of (some bartenders get grumpy about that stuff), and made one for us. Visually, as you can see, super cool and gross at the same time. Jax then made us a drink he claimed, “tasted like cigarettes”, because he clearly knew we were a classy duo. The drink indeed tasted like cigarettes, but was cool as hell because it was so spot on. We wrote down the ingredients because we plan to make it for friends. The sound system was quality and the music was fun. I would definitely come back. If Jax is working, and you wanna have some fun, ask for that cigarette drink!”

“The decor and ambience is very modern while still maintaining the original design and foundation. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Place gets busy even during baseball games. Went here before the giants game and was quite impressed. I’d love to come back next time I’m in town. The food and drinks were impressive and left me wanting more. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. You definitely won’t be disappointed if you decide to stop by.”

“Joe is great. After our Uber drive dropped us in the wrong place, Joe would tell us how to get there, he took us there. It was only at the end of the block, but meant the world to us. He wouldn’t accept a tip, so went back to have a beer after dinner. He remembered our name. He is the true meaning of customer service and I’ve told all of my friends to go see him at the Showdown. Thanks again, Joe”

25 Candlestick Park Sports Bar

4.1 Good 107 Reviews

747 3rd Street, San Francisco

• Delivery

“Checked out Candlestick Sports Bar mainly to play pool, and it was a good time. One game is $2, or you can get three games for $5, which feels fair. The pool table is in good shape. The space around them is a bit tight, so a few shots can be tricky, but nothing that takes away from the fun. It’s the kind of place where you can just relax, play a few games with friends, and unwind. Good vibe, chill crowd, and a solid neighborhood spot to hang out and shoot some pool.”

“Service was 100% attentive by Ramon, food arrival was crazy fast … not just at my table but I noticed others were receiving their plates within 10 minutes of ordering depending on what is ordered. I had the chicken strips … with fries which I am hesitant to order fries. Many places serve you stale fries. They where burn your mouth hot. The chicken was tender, freshly fried and hand dipped, as the crust was falling off in some areas. The old fashioned … had a twist that was unique to this place. Service was great and I would definitely make a detour from my gate to come here.”
