27 Best Bar & Grill in San Francisco

“Spent a great evening a the Mad Dog in the Fog. Good food. Good trivia. Great people. Thanks to Killian for making our night sensational. Best Irish pub in San Fran.“

“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“

“Lovely welcoming, friendly, homey feeling place. The food was great and the recommended margarita (who knew there could be so many options) was excellent.“

“Benders is a classic, one of my favorites. It was a regular stop in the tour of dive bars on a Friday evening and always had an edge on the others because of its size and food offerings to appease both vegetarians and carnivores alike. Bartenders are solid here, quick and efficient and don't waste your time or theirs. If you are a dive bar connoisseur, then Benders is a must try.

“Friendly staff, good drinks, delicious food“

“I've had the good fortune of experiencing The Napper Tandy both as a patron as well as a music performer. As a patron, I can tell you that the food here is the BEST pub food you will ever find (I particularly recommend the reuben - the best I've ever had, hands down!)! As a performer, the staff as well as the crowd have always been extremely friendly, accommodating, and inviting. There's just something about the vibe of this place that seems to make people happy! The managers, Marissa and Nicola, are are absolute gems of human beings and their staff reflect their personal awesomeness! I'm looking forward to my next meal as well as my next show at The Napper Tandy. Hope to see ya there!“

“Wow... we simply don't know how we have never had a meal here before. It was pre-COVID the last time we were here for a show, but we never had a meal. After our visit late this afternoon, we will be back often! The drinks are great, for sure. And the rustic dining area is an absolutely delightful plus! And the food, well, sure, it's simple pub food, but it is the tastiest pub food we've had in a very long time. Be sure to stop by here for a nosh and a kolsch, or any other beverage. You will be happy you did!“

“awesome place! I highly recommend!“

“Good drinks, great atmosphere, best food!!“

“We recently held an evening wedding rehearsal dinner at Harrington's. Everything aspect of our event was excellent. Our guests and the family were very impressed.
Thanks to Lucia, Ben and the entire team.

Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian salad, impossible beef sliders and roast chicken“

“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.“

“It used to be the old Ruby Skye nightclub managed by my friend Reggie from around 2002 until 2017. The original venue was a movie house convert to a nightclub called Ruby Skye then in 2018 it was converted to the FIFTH ARROW RESTAURANT at Geary and Mason in San Francisco California PS anyone coming to San Francisco you have to come here.“

“Talk about food that melts in your mouth and cooked to perfection. A5 beef, wagyu gyoza, salmon belly, scallops, and mochi cake were all out of this world! Delicious cocktails and an atmosphere that’s both modern and vintage.

Went here for an evening networking event and felt like it had this classy underground feel because of the DJ + Technics turntables right when you walk in, and then you turn the corner and see 2 massive speakers w/o their grilles behind the bar, which is filled with premium Japanese whiskey & gin and vinyl covers.

Unique establishment! Highly recommend.“

“If you love beer, you'll love this place. Many taps that rotate through San Francisco's locally made beer scene. From the people that opened Chomp & Swig, while both places have grill cheese, Richmond Republic Draught House has burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, salmon, and other tasty stuff. Soon, they will have a full liquor license! Now I'm feeling the need to go there later for a pint and some food!“

“Friendly service and good selection“

“For bar food, this place is great! Chicken fingers were homemade & tender, delicious. Patty melt was fantastic. Great cocktails & beer. Max was fabulous. Nice movies on different screens / TVs on silent to enjoy. Good music. Nice vibes.“

“A warm and welcoming fun environment“

“I come here once a week with friends. It is fun, clean and well managed. The staff are volunteers who are cheerful and very accommodating. It's very well sanitized and Covid safe. The food and drinks are delicious. I've been to restaurants for outdoor dining but none have come close to the positive experience I have here and in the best neighborhood in San Francisco.“

“Chesty’s is a hidden gem! Located atop the Marine’s Memorial Club Hotel near Union Square, this bar & restaurant is casual and just really good overall. Food is tasty and reliable (they have gluten-free options!) the service is friendly and efficient (Maribel was sooo sweet!) and the view from the 12 floor is wonderful! Complimentary happy hour for hotel guests as well as buffet breakfast!“

“Casual sports bar, located directly across the street from Oracle Park in downtown SF. Lots of beer to choose from, with the standard bar-type food such as chicken wings, burgers, and fries. Several large TVs to watch sports. Parking is difficult to find though, which is not surprising in downtown SF.“

“A great, unpretentious sports bar. TV's are plentiful, and any game you want is either on or can be requested. Staff is friendly and fast. Food is simple, yet satisfying - the epitome of what good bar food should be. Prices are reasonable, so you can watch the game rather than your tab balance - no post game buyer's remorse. This was my first time there and I'll definitely be going back.“

“Never fails, the best breakfast burritos in California! Brought a couple friends and they said it was the best they've ever had, ever. Not to mention the staff is super nice and accommodating. Feel free to share your venmo QR code so we can send tips your way!“

“Wonderful dinner with friends at Pied Piper …
Had the salmon special which was scrumptious … ate in the front of the space which was very comfortable. The wait staff were pleasant and provided great staff! A really nice place to enjoy good food and conversation!“

“This is a hidden new treasure. I was there for a private event for 100 people. We were upstairs and downstairs in the back. The rest of the bar was still in action downstairs in the front. It is a great place with good music and vibe. The place is getting busier and busier so get there before you can get in. You can actually have a normal conversation at this place while enjoying the solid drinks and atmosphere. Trinity filled a hole in the bar restaurant business“

“Restaurant has great ambience and service. Food was very yummy especially the chips and guacamole, however for the mains the quantity was a little less. We were quite hungry also so maybe that’s why we felt it. Overall happy with everything though.“

“Great service, the waiter was very nice and the food was delicious“

“Of course it’s expensive because it’s a sit- down restaurant in SFO airport. But even so, the food was delicious. The cheesesteaks were cooked just right and the bread was nice and soft. The chicken tenders had good flavor. And the French fries were some of the best I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend this place. Fast service too!

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available with chicken strips and fries.“
