Very unique place with a lot of history and some of the best craft cocktails I’ve ever had. The bartender took his time with each drink, making sure each was just right. With two drinks, you get a free light lunch on Fridays. It was corn chowder the day we went, which was phenomenal, but not hearty enough to soak up the two strong drinks. We added some fries and bacon wrapped dates yo have a little more on our stomach for walking around. It’s really worth reading the history of this old Jewish barbershop that was preserved and made into a destination. It’s wild to think everything this building has endured. If these walls could talk!

Stopped in for beverage and light bite. Great service, interesting history. Live music several nights a week. Local crowd mostly, typical old SF bar vibe. Great neighborhood hangout.

I had a great dinner there last night! My friend and I both got the steak frites, which was delicious and done perfectly. There was live music (at not too loud a volume) and great service. Neither of us are drinking currently, and they had a menu of 5 interesting mocktails to choose from. The prices are good, too!

Came for happy hour. The pianist singer gave some elegant vibes to accompany meeting up with some old friends. Quick service and tasty drinks for the happy menu cocktails. Would come back.

Came here for a cocktail and maybe a bite but it turned into several bites and several cocktails because we liked the vibe so much. There was a piano player while we were there and the service was fast and charming. We loved the pork bahn mi sliders and the crab rangoons.

If I could give this place 10 stars for atmosphere and service, I would add 10 to it.

Loved the history, the decor, the vibe, the lighting, the servers, the menu.

It felt like a step back in time without the cheesiness that normally accompanies such places.

It’s retro , classy, design feels like you have walked into the 1940s; I wish I was wearing a suit with fedora, with Lauren Bacall at my side; a long wooden rotating fan that looks like an oar is designed to mesmerize patrons to keep ordering drinks and food; Love the fried Brussels sprouts. The jazz band is curiously situated a level above bar as if they are a voice of God? I bet the band is called Zeus. And they use the trombone for a clarion call to the world !

We met our in-laws at Comstock Saloon for an early dinner / happy hour. They were in town for the Grateful Dead concert at Oracle Park. We had a group of 11 so they found a couple of tables in the back just below the piano player upstairs. Lots of drinks going around and every one complimented the tasty cocktails. I had a Reality Check Pilsner beer.

The food menu was eclectic and we had the following items:

Comstock Burger & Fries 3/5 husk ok $21
Skirt steak with chimichurri 4/5
Oysters 4/5 $3.50 each
Salmon and potato puffs 3/5
Donuts with ice cream 5/5 had to order a couple more best item

The Comstock Saloon is located near the corner of Columbus and Kearney. It's filled with wooden booths. Service was ok. The nearest parking lot is Portsmouth garage.

Parking: Nice place to go enjoy a bite to eat! Great historic saloon/bar that has two sides! Delicious food options & appetizers on their menu. Wonderful, friendly, attentive staff that work there! Friday free lunch, with a purchase of 2 drinks, was delicious! Did order the delicious smoked salmon appetizer and a burger with fries from the regular menu. I look forward to going back again! All so good! 😊👍👍
