I returned back to SF after 8 years. I wandered in one night and met Justin. Hell of a guy and a place to match.It doesn't matter what you're wearing, who you're with or if you're alone, they will make you feel welcome. Even if the day went wrong, the personnel will help make it better.The drinks for an inside SF bar are reasonably priced.The gents are as honest as the day is long. Refreshing place to find and so close to where I moved. It's my new go to place for watching the game or whatever is on and having instant camaraderie with the patrons.

Nice neighborhood bar right around the corner from the west portal muni stop. Worth a visit for cozy interior and intriguing ceiling mural

Laid back bar with a pool table. The bartender Josh was very welcoming, friendly, and entertaining. We had a great time!

I like this spot. The bartenders are chill and let you bring in your own food. It is a quiet spot with regulars. They play the game on the big screen when it is on and there's a pool table at the back, as well as an outside patio at the back. It's a good spot to unwind and chill away for a bit

This place has been here forever! Back in the early 80's I used to walk by here on my way to Hoover Jr High when they were open at 6am and I would sometimes see the crossing guard for the nearby elementary school going in or coming out. Now that I'm an adult the Philosopher's Club is the best dive bar on West Portal for cheap and strong drinks

Love this place. Energy is right. People authentic. No rush. A gem in any city. Fortunately in San Francisco.

My friends had a sort of reunion and we had our gathering there. What a nice, chill place. Friendly , slightly older crowd. The bartender was great! I wish I can remember his name. I may have had one too many to remember. They have a pool table in back. Convenient location just next to West Portal muni station. Plus a nice painting on the ceiling above the bar. Go and have a drink!

Super nice staff with a local vibe and an ode to Bay Area sports legends (look up at the ceiling mural, you won't regret it). A great spot to watch Bay Area sports and have a few beers.
