Connecticut Yankee

Not good. Food was way below average, limited choices and still lousy since prior ownership sold the bar years ago. Atmosphere remains good but food used to be great with many solid menu items. Those have been and are gone. Wouldn’t eat here again, lousy burger, same verdict last time, unfortunately, as this was my go-to for many years. Disappointed still. Too bad, sad for the neighborhood. Head back up to 18th street for great food.

Connecticut Yankee is a classic SF bar and one of my favorite places to have lunch, particularly on a nice day when you can eat outside in the back. Excellent burger.

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD statement after dining/drinking here. They illegally added additional tip amount.

I was there on Weds 12/4 ordered a few drinks. My first order was two shots. The second time I went to the bar, I ordered a Guinness. I waited over 10 mins at the bar counter and still didn’t get my drink. Then I tried to get bartender’s attention but she continued to ignore me so I asked the other bartender. The second bartender told me in a rude manner that the drink was not ordered on my tab. I told her I ordered it from the other bartender over 10 mins ago, to which she repeated that it’s not on my tab. Then she asked if I wanted her to place the order. That’s an obvious answer but I kindly said yes. It took another 5 mins to get my drink.

Even with the terrible service I still left a tip. My bill was $35.03 and I tipped $3 considering the poor service. So total of $38.03

The next day, I checked my credit card online and saw that a total of $41.03 was charged to my card. This is not a big difference but the principle that an additional $3 was added illegally. I want to address my concerns as if this happened to me, how many other customers have been cheated as well?

I sent them a message via Yelp but no reply.
I wouldn’t come here again.

One of the few full dinner service bars in San Francisco left. American food like pasta. Burgers, salads, fried chicken, and a breakfast menu too with outdoor seating in a nice courtyard. Lots of live music shows too. Definitely try it and support this San Francisco insider favorite!

This is a great local pub, exactly what you’d imagine a local pub to be. Do you like beer? Pub food? Laughs? Then this is your place. Look no further. If you like places like Local Tap and The Chieftain, then you’ll like this place. Do yourself a favor and check it out

Growing up in New England I love the atmosphere. Also $16 pitcher in 2024 (even if it is just PBR) is a great deal

Excellent burger, great atmosphere, and stellar service. The salad wasn't great, but we weren't going to say anything, and it was comped without prompting by our highly attentive and professional server. Recommended.

First time coming to this establishment but have heard good things about it and also have had good from here before so I excited to visit in real time.
The tequila selections are awesome and I was a little hungry so I grabbed. Chopped cheese. Food was good I would definitely eat here again. Not sure if they still have them but I was brought some ribs from here one time and they were awesomeness so if those are ever around give em a shot too.

Parking: Parking isn’t to bad in this part of the hill, but read the signs always

Kid-friendliness: Food was good but it is a bar
