“The best bar in the Haight and it's even better on the first Fridays of the month when they have live Grateful Dead music! Went again last night and had a blast not to mention they've got Dogfish Head Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale. Neil pours a perfect pint and the prices are right! A true SF treasure! Bonus - I scored a Doghead T-shirt :D“

“McCarthy’s is everything you want in a neighborhood spot—welcoming, laid-back, and just plain fun. The vibe is classic and unpretentious, with friendly staff who make you feel like a regular the minute you walk in. Drinks are always cold and poured strong, prices are fair, and it’s the kind of place where conversation just flows. Whether you’re catching a game, grabbing a pint with friends, or just stopping by after work, McCarthy’s nails it. West Portal is lucky to have this gem!“

The Blarney Stone Bar Irish Pub • $
5625 Geary Blvd, San Francisco

“Would absolutely recommend this bar. Corey was incredible, he’s a great conversation and even made us a special concoction for fun. The people and environment is a 10/10, everyone was so friendly and ready to jump in on a conversation. However, we were drawn in with the belief food would be on the menu but were informed the kitchen had been closed for a few years now. So if you’re hungry, don’t count on any fried pickles or bacon tots.“

“Harrington’s has quickly become one of my favorite bars in San Francisco. It has that rare combination of being lively and energetic while still feeling comfortable enough to actually have a conversation with your friends. The atmosphere is always fun, and the crowd is a great mix of locals, regulars, and people just looking for a good night out.

It’s such a great spot for a girls’ night because the food is surprisingly good. We ended up ordering a bunch of snacks to share, and everything paired perfectly with our drinks. It’s the kind of place where you can come hungry, stay for hours, and never feel rushed.

One thing that really stands out is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The bartenders and servers keep the energy up, make great recommendations, and genuinely seem like they enjoy what they do. And yes—they’re also an attractive crew, which definitely adds to the fun vibe without feeling pretentious.

If you’re looking for a neighborhood bar with great drinks, tasty food, a social crowd, and excellent service, Harrington’s is an easy recommendation. Every visit has been a great time, and I’ll definitely be back.“
