50 Best Sports Bars in San Francisco

“Final Final will forever hold a special place in my heart. Was in town with friends visiting from NY and we were thrilled to find a bar that showcased New York sports. We watched the Knicks win their NBA Championship 🏆. The vibes were great, a lot of good energy and fun atmosphere. Was impressed with how the bar tenders handled the huge crowds. They seemed short staffed but you wouldn't know it
Very fun experience“

“Best oysters offer ever. So fresh, creamy and just delicious. Fs was as good as Kumamoto oysters. Couldn’t resist its deliciousness had to order two and half dozens. Also other food was good, please good service and friendly people. Definitely must visit“

“This past Saturday I decided to check out this place with my friends after the game. They have a variety of drink selections and a decent food menu options, including some vegetarian-friendly dishes. Service was 10/10! The girl who was helping us was friendly and patient with my friend, when she was struggling because of her English. All of us had a great time here. Glad we decided to give this place a try and will return!

Inner Richmond is not the most difficult neighborhood to find parking for in the city, but it can still be a hit or miss. Recommend people to just Lyft/Uber/Waymo.“

“We were hungry, it was Memorial Day, we just left Best buy, and we walking down the street, and we noticed this place and it had a big window whiich caught our eye and we looked in and decided to check it out. We had our furbabie with us and he was welcomed too. We ordered something to eat and a drink and water for our furbabie. They had all different games to choose from and a pool table. We ate, we drank, we played Bingo and won a few games, we received, free drink tickets to use that evening, and gifts we picked from. The people that worked there were polite and friendly and the customers were friendly too. There were other furbabies hanging out too. We enjoyed ourselves and we will be back to visit. They have a variety of entertainment for each day of the week.“

“Our regular stop when in San Francisco....and our favorite St. Patrick's Day loca....“

“Limoncello is a great spot in SF for a delicious, satisfying sandwich. The bread is fresh, the ingredients are flavorful, and every bite has a perfect balance of textures and savory goodness. Portions are generous, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch or casual meal. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere round out the experience. Definitely recommend!“

“Can’t beat the rustic atmosphere and the bartender was very friendly and informative.“

“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.

There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.

Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.

To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.“

“This place is amazing. Great bartenders. Chill atmosphere with good bar food. Owner Paul is a great dude.“

“On our honeymoon, they made us feel very special, fantastic food, outstanding service, thank you Shah for all of your attention!!“

“such awesome chill vibe!! jessi the bartender was super sweet and made us feel super welcome, she was holding it down even amidst the masses at puzzle night. also just love the set up of the bar, really good for groups or to find a private space if needed“

“The grilled salmon is spectacular!“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“This is our 1st time to San Francisco from from Washington and were able to watch the Seahawks game among all the other games with a great crowd of football fans! Food and service was amazing especially during such a crowded busy time!!! Thank you!!!“

“I always get the baja style fried fish tacos Nick's way. Had some friends try them last night, and everybody thought they were incredible. I personally also add their habanero salsa which you'll have to request for if you like that much heat. Their house margaritas are the perfect accompaniment. The staff is all great. It's generally busy every time I'm there but luckily I've never had to wait very long for a table (that might just be luck).“

“Spent a great evening a the Mad Dog in the Fog. Good food. Good trivia. Great people. Thanks to Killian for making our night sensational. Best Irish pub in San Fran.“

“so my wife and I were craving some ramen for lunch in San Francisco. I came upon this random spot on Google, read the reviews & skimmed the menu. looked pretty damn good based on our personal ramen preferences. my wife ordered the black garlic oil ramen. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen. we both are very picky with our ramen - we like our broth rich, salty, creamy & flavorful. and let me tell you, coming from the east coast / NJ / NYC (we have great ramen spots there) - AFTER HOURS RAMEN TOTALLY DELIVERED 200%. I could not stress enough to my wife how satisfied I was with our meal today. oh & they had some nice 2000s hip hop/pop/r&b music playing during our lunch. loved it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you're in the SF area. located couple blocks from ocean beach so you can walk off your food.

AFTER HOURS RAMEN, thank you so much for the delicious food & service! this is our go-to now! see you soon!

PS. it's BYOB. there's a liquor store right on the corner of Taraval & 40th. you're welcome :)“

“Comfortable Like a well worn pair of shoes“

“Good drinks, great atmosphere, best food!!“

“Wow I’m amaze how the taste of their wings and fries I love it a lot. Just glad my sister take me here and the lady allow us to bring her dogs. It was such a nice gesture. Will definitely come back for their wings and will try their burgers

Food: Excellent
Service: excellent
Atmosphere: excellent“

“When you walk into a place and the first accent you hear at the bar is Irish, you know you're in a for a great evening.

Red Jack Saloon is just back from Pier 39, and it's the perfect relief to the cheap, tacky, colourful, overpriced clobber.

Great beer selection, super friendly vibe, and there's even an old school style pinball machine in the corner.

Top class.“

“A great place to enjoy a cold beer with great views of the bay and great vibes. I have been several times and always enjoy myself. I recently went to watch world cup, and another time after a Giants game. Two different experiences in terms of crowds, but the beer was great. I love the Kolsch. The bar tenders are very friendly and attentive. This has become my go to place to visit when I come to the city. Thrive City is a great addition to this beautiful city. Support these wonderful businesses around Chase that make this area worth visiting on non event days. I live two hours from the city, but always feel welcome at Harmonic when I visit.“

“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.“

“Love the sushi and D J.great food and TVs every where I really like it.“

“Awesome! This place seems like a hangout for Business People but after 5pm, it's a hidden gem for the locals. I love the environment, Sports on all the TVs, the Steak Nachos are Incredible and the Staff is Amazing! Definitely will Recommend to My Friends“

“I went to watch the World Cup game. Brazil and Morocco . They have several tv. However I just didn’t enjoy myself. Maybe not my crowd. I don’t know. Felt like a family place crowd rather than a sport bar. I had yummy bloody marry and Diet Coke. My neck hurt tho watching tv. Since the position of the tvs and bar didn’t work for lot of us. Not their problem tho.“

“#AmazingBar #HiTopsSanFrancisco 🥰“

“Home for relaxation and heart breaking last minute goal“

“Best Irish coffee in San Francisco and the three Sullivan s are the kindest nicest bartenders in the country 😎😎🍀🇺🇸“

“My new favorite dive bar in the city. A great blues band was playing the night we went and the atmosphere was fun and full of happiness. Excellent and creative cocktails (the Bee's Knees and the ginger cocktail are very much recommended). Service was exceptional, we'll be definitely coming back! Love this place, A+++

Parking: best to get here via ride share because parking is extremely difficult to find.“

“I've been meaning to write this review for three years. That's when my wife and first started going to this fantastic bar in Sunnyside. It's always a fun, relaxed, and welcoming experience–for regulars and new faces alike. Good people, excellent beverages, very nice pool table. Shoutout to Rudy.“

“Such a cool and chill spot.“

“Plenty of TVs! Changed to my relatively obscure game (UVA v Northwestern on CBS Sports Network) upon request - even turned on the sound. Solid beer selection on draft. Several other games featured for other patrons. About half full on a Friday afternoon, with several friendly conversations adding to a nice vibe.“

“This place is amazing. You can't skip the Bloody Mary's and foamytinn. Chorizo scramble fried chicken sandwich and delicious hash browns topped with their special habanero sauce. Such great service from Matt great attitude and great suggestions“

“Great spot. It’s a local gem.“

“The steak sliders and garlic fries were so good! Service here is excellent! Dave and Tasani made sure to check on how I was enjoying the food and kept refilling my water! Excited for my next trip through SFO! Will definitely eat here again!“

“Monoghans is the best bar in sf hands down. What makes it so
Special to me is their bartender Jess. She is such a warm soul who I enjoy seeing everytime I visit! Plus their pool table is the best in SF. 10/10 recommend and shoutout Jess the 🐐“

“Great bartender! Megan I believe! Thanks“
