Great bar that has friendly patrons as well as lots of entertainment. You will often find love entertainment on the weekends, and always loads of pinball.
Bar has quite the selection of craft beers, and bar staff are knowledgeable to help find your perfect pint.

Great place to hang out with beer to shoot the breeze with your friends. They didn't have any food at the time, so we asked if it was okay to bring some. Came back with food from nearby and had a fun time chatting at a table with friends and playing pinball. The blueberry was yummy! Crowd definitely skews to the younger side (20s and 30s) but we didn't feel out of place.

San Francisco dive bars are such an endangered species that a 17 year old place seems like a miracle to have such a young location. Gestalt brings a level of community and willingness to a bar that is much needed in this day and age. Not to mention, when me and my partner’s phones died after a long night and we were out front the owner let us back in to charge until we got a car. Truly a gem, cannot recommend enough.

I can't believe it was 2007 that this place opened, time flies. I used to be a regular at this place when I was, you know, young and fun. It was like a mini-Rosemunde, a cool bar to gather for beer and brats with friends mid-week. Back then, it wasn't clear that this place was gonna make it though, it was empty a lot.
And then they added the indoor bike racks and everything changed. You see, the sad thing is that for any Mission dive bar to succeed, it has to attract some portion of hipsters, that had to be part of the revenue stream. So when they put those bike racks in, it was like hipster bait. Now this place us teeming with hipsters, and they've expanded their menu and beer selection as a result.
In the end, this is still a very fine dive bar and now a stable in the Mission landscape. Lots of good memories here for me and it's cool to see a whole new generation forming their own ones now.
