Great dive bar atmosphere for chill drinks, good company and some small bites (or even a meal). This place has friendly bartenders, good drink options and chill patrons. There's always the game you want to watch on one of their TVs, and if there isnt, the staff is happy to try and find it for you.

An unexpected location, but that’s exactly what gives this place its charm. Once you walk inside, everything becomes clear — where to order and where to go next. The space is compact yet arranged well enough that even with kids you can wait comfortably, though personally I’d choose takeout if visiting with little ones.
Now to the most important part — the food truly impresses. Every dish comes out fresh, juicy, and generously prepared. Each burger we tried had its own character and every one of them delivered great flavor. The fries were perfectly cooked, with a rich taste and great texture — definitely something you want to order again.
The atmosphere also left a positive impression: lively, friendly, and full of good energy. Even with the bar area nearby, the staff makes sure everyone feels comfortable.
This is definitely a place worth returning to. When we’re back in the area, we’ll absolutely stop by again. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food and a relaxed vibe.

A place close to my work. They seem to be a good sports bar! I like the decor here and their burgers were amazing! The servers were very nice and patient with us. I would recommend here :)

Dive bar vibe, because that is what it is. Food is not bad, decent burger on the salty side, crispy onion rings that were not greasy. I don't recommend the jalapeno poppers.
Beer selection is ok. Basic liquor selection. A decent local bar.

I went here for a stand-up comedy night and it was so much fun! Good service and a really comfortable atmosphere.
This was my 1st time here. I don't drink so they do have 00 Heineken which is a non-alcoholic beverage an ice water with lemon which is my number one beverage😉! Before I go anywhere I always go on Google or Yelp and read the reviews. I'm a social butterfly 🦋 so, I spoke to people 1st at the bar area! Plus, I was invited by my girl who's a bartender there. It was a Sunday night which I never go out for karaoke on that night because I'm usually in church all night and handling other things. I came on a good night because it was someone's birthday! So, they had barbecue chicken and barbecue ribs, other dishes and some delicious b-day 🍍 upside down cake, that my girl the bartender had made💜🍍🍰. Like any new venue that belongs to people in the neighborhood or regulars, when you first walk in everybody gives you that look, like who's that girl😉(in my Eve🎵💜 voice) lol. Everyone was cool as time permitted & once we all mingled and especially after I sang a Kareoke song🎤💜🎵. Karaoke DJ was cool and there was some cool people there as well that I got a chance to dance with. We had fun!
Now, a ladies room/restroom, will tell me exactly how clean this place is and/or how people care about the place they work in. The handicap larger stall toilet was stopped up. The smell was unpleasant! The second stale is made for a small/very skinny woman and I am a juicy woman💜. It was very tight! Not only was it tight I had noticed a lot of cobwebs and dust everywhere, on the walls, on the top of the bathroom stall doors, the ceiling, it was so filthy & dirty, I was afraid to tinkle! I literally held my breath the entire time I was in there. And being a person who is allergic to spiders and having to carry an EpiPen in my purse. I was horrified and looking around to make sure nothing didn't drop on me or bite me. There are no hooks strong enough to hold your purse when you come out the bathroom to wash your hands.
Based on the filthiness of the woman's bathroom, I would never order food from this place! If the bathrooms look like that, I could imagine what the kitchen looks like. I ended up leaving around 12:25 a.m. because I needed to go home so I could tinkle again. I refuse to go back into that bathroom!
The karaoke stage is large and they use clean and new microphone covers for each singer. The lights on the stage could be dimmed a little and they make you hot and there could be a strobe light added to give it a more lively vibe.
Overall I had a great time and good vibes!!

Very nice place and fun!!
The hidden spot, very great vibe and atmosphere. The sandwiches are huge and you’ll definitely be full. One of my favorite bars around this neighborhood.

Small draft beer selection. Overpriced bar food, just okay. Neighborhood hang out kinda spot. Some burgers are $21 without fries. Grimy ass bathrooms
Great local bar. Excellent bartenders. Food is okay
Very good food and fun atmosphere. Very friendly staff. I enjoy time in the Recovery Room when I visit San Francisco.
Nice hidden gem. It’s one of the local neighborhood sports bar. We normally go there to watch games. Nice atmosphere.
Wings and tots are the best, must have!!
Prices are also very reasonable and drinks are good.
I had a very disappointing experience at this place. The Asian woman bartender was incredibly rude and seemed completely unprofessional. She refused to serve me and my friend when we simply asked for drinks. To make matters worse, she started cursing at me, which was shocking and unacceptable behavior. It felt like she was tired of her job and taking it out on the customers. This kind of treatment is unacceptable, and it left a very negative impression. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and ensures better customer service in the future.
