Used to love this place, but several friends and I have been drugged at this bar, on more than one occasion. Not “oh we just got overserved” but unable to walk or speak after 1.5 drinks less than an hour after arriving. If it happened once it was a coincidence, happening time and time again it’s a pattern and problem with the staff. When any of my friends have brought it to the staff/managers attention they say “what do you want me to do about it?” And continue on with their day. Either it’s acceptable to management that their customers get drugged by their bartenders or customers, or they simply do not care one way or another. There are hundreds of good bars in the city. This is truly the worst. Look up all the others who have experienced the same thing here. Horrible horrible place.

This place has an extraordinarilly welcoming vibe and offers Happy Hours prices from noon to 7pm* M-F and a range of other drink specials. The staff are super-friendly, the music is enjoyable and-- if you want to watch a sports event-- chances are good they'll have it on.
* Always best to double check directly with the bar beforehand. Special prices and effective times or days may change (but this place has been very consistent with their specials for many years).

Unfortunately, this business is illegally adding a CREDIT CARD SURCHARGE to your checks. Civil Code section 1748.1 This law is nothing new, and management is responsible for screwing over customers.

RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL bouncer. It seems like he loves challenging/arguing with anyone he gets the chance with. Ruins the atmosphere making one feel UNSAFE and driving business away. Could not last more than 15 min in here without hearing him yell/argue with someone new coming in through that door. Do not spend your money here only to get disrespected or yelled at. Save your dignity and chose another bar where you will actually have fun and be treated with respect.

Security was very rude tonight he was getting too aggressive with people. I understand people can be rowdy but he was doing too much with the yelling and aggressive tone. Felt very unsafe not a vibe

Please please tell that one bouncer to STOP playing with the IDs... it is getting old. He holds up the line and drops multiple people's IDs on the floor and makes them pick it up. It is rude and unsanitary. Thanks.

I genuinely love the mix for the light-hearted atmosphere and the wonderful staff, but as of recently, that hasn’t been the case. One of the taller staff members has an insufferable. He does a weird game throwing your ID/Passport/Driver’s license card in the air and very often it lands on the ground. Moreover, he lets people in based on vibes?? Just scan the card, and let people in “bro” (his is also his tag word). He’s obviously having a power trip as his first “real” job and doesn’t know how to behave. All of the other workers are absolutely lovely and I wish everyone interacted with them. In any other case. AVOID. STAY AWAY. If you like your dignity, this is NOT the place
They need to replace their front door security. Dude was on his rag yesterday. Got upset when I show him my ID for some odd reason. Also, their bathroom needs a complete renovation. It's horrifying disgusting and probably has every bacteria known/unknown to mankind in it

This is a favorite amongst so many that dwell within the Castro area. One of the most diverse areas that has no cover charge, amazing affordable drink options and the most understanding and caring staff. Marissa is a wonderful bartender, always paying close attention to detail to reamin relatable to her customers, not to gain more revenue from them, but to actually understand and give back to the community she loves. She is what caused me and my friends to continuously come back each time I came to visit San Francisco :)!

As soon as I walked in, there was no warm welcome. Instead, the bartender—a short-haired woman—was busy taking shots with some patrons. My group consisted of four people, including one visiting from out of the country. From the hostility in her voice, it was clear she was either intoxicated or, frankly, racist.
We showed our IDs, yet she questioned their legitimacy. One of us had gained some weight since their photo was taken, but that’s hardly unusual. She then denied us entry because one member of our group, who is from Japan, did not have her passport on hand—despite the fact that she had both her valid Japanese driver’s license and a photo of her passport. As we turned to collect our belongings from the table we thought we’d be sitting at, the bartender yelled at us that we couldn’t even be there.
My message to Latinos considering this place: don’t. If you’re brown, turn around. Find a bar that actually welcomes you.
