Excellent food and cocktails, friendly vibe and superior service. The blended boozy slushies were so refreshing and well balanced. Great selection of top shelf liquor for the classics. The chicken liver pate is outstanding. Wish I lived closer.

This is a great spot for drinks & food. It's been spruced up from the old iteration as Broken Record, but kept the fun, local, comfortable feel. Came in on a late Sunday afternoon for refreshing beer and very tasty food. Had the Enterprise Lager & Pilsner, Chicago dog (a real Vienna Beef version!), Deviled Eggs, and chicken liver toast. All yummy! Very friendly & hospitable bartender, Ethan. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic spot with great service. We went there after the main Jerry Day music celebration at McClaren Park, had some wonderful beer, enjoyed more live music at the Club, and ate the best corn ribs I've ever had outside of my own kitchen. Definitely give this spot a shot.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have a secondary door with a small ramp and a large bathroom on the lefthand side of the club that has some good turn around room.

Great to have a neighborhood bar with staff always making you feel welcome. Also it’s great that dogs are allowed on the patio! Defo work a visit

I miss The Broken Record but I'm super excited to have a new restaurant in their space. Cocktails were super tasty and reasonably priced. I love that they have a relatively big set of non-alcoholic options.
Food was also delicious but I missed having some cheaper menu options to snack on while having a drink. Like, a big basket of fries for $7 or $8, or a cheaper hot dog. The pickles were really outstanding but felt like a small portion for $7.
The salad we got was fantastic and the quality matched the price point. I get that there's a quality / price trade-off and having 1-2 menu options at a more accessible price would make it easy to come back either for a drink and snack, or for a full meal.

I used to go to this place all the time when it was a broken record I think it's under new ownership but the inside of it hasn't changed one bit we got a couple drinks it was very nice to be back there and I'll definitely be back again next time I'm in San Francisco.

Fantastic spot! The food was amazing! The burger was one of the best I had in a while, and to top it all, it's kids friendly. I'm so glad a spot like this one opened in Excelsior. Can't wait to be back and try more dishes. Update Sun 7/28: I went back with another set of friends after raving to them about how the great the food is and was really disappointed ? at how the food came out. Ordered the same exact food. Fries came out overcooked. The pork sandwich was also overcooked and had TOO much vinegar. I was hoping they can stay consistent. We need good places in the neighborhood

The staff are super friendly, food is really good, personal favorite is the burger, but haven't had a bad bite here. Drinks are also on point, and as someone who moved here from Chicago, they've nailed the vibe as well.

Came and visited a friend who owns a business in this neighborhood. I was beyond impressed with the service, drinks and atmosphere. It’s a casual/classy/sf vibe. Asset to the neighborhood. 10/10
Maaaan, I really want to be in love with this spot. Don't get me wrong, this place has a great style, the kitchen produces great food, and the drinks are great (so many great liquors on the shelf). Howeverrrr, there. are. kids. and I mean tiny, learning to walk babies - in the patio (ok fiiiine that's outside), next to the kitchen (surrrrreee, it's where the food's at), at the seating across from the bar, ev-er-ywhere. I'm sure this is a great option for young parents looking to turn up but didn't find a sitter, but man, I thought bars were sacred spaces. Hope the toddlers are buying vodka sodas 'cause I'm not sure I can make this a frequent spot.
