About The Old Ship Saloon

The Old Ship Saloon is a cozy, no-frills establishment that offers a welcoming atmosphere and solid drinks. With its U-shaped wooden bar, it’s easy to feel like you're on board an old ship. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks are standard but well-made. The menu features classic pub fare, including the popular Pisco Punch, which lives up to its legendary reputation. Visitors can enjoy a clean and well-run environment with good service, making it a great spot to grab a quick bite or meet with friends. Recent visitors praised the top-notch burger and delicious loaded fries, noting the friendly bar service. The location is just a few blocks from a hotel and appears to be a favorite among local San Franciscans who work nearby. The atmosphere is usually great, especially with the bar layout in the center, although acoustics can sometimes be challenging. Parking is easy, and it’s considered a fun pub, not a dive bar, with a good tap list. The place is popular, with many people enjoying food and drinks outside even in strong wind, and the bartender's liquor knowledge adds to the experience. Overall, it remains a great place for good food, drinks, and friendly service.

Fab bar with a great range of booze and really friendly and helpful staff.
Took the time to discuss UK vs USA measures and jiggers with me - fascinating!
