The Riptide is just a great little spot with excellent vibes, strong drinks, and a perfect setup for live music. I went on a rainy, cold Saturday night around 9 PM to catch the band Middle Dog.
Despite the bad weather in San Francisco, the place was absolutely popping - the whole neighborhood seemed to be out, and the crowd made the atmosphere awesome. It was a great mix of regulars, first-timers like myself, and everyone in between!
They are drinks-only, but they have a great range of beer and liquor options, and the bartenders definitely don't skimp on the pours. The service was very friendly and efficient, even when busy. Although it was crowded (it got a little hot at peak, but opening the door quickly solved that!), it never felt uncomfortably packed. A huge bonus: you can also bring food in from outside (check out Brother's Pizza right next door!).
Parking was surprisingly easy to find on the street nearby.

Fun bar in a boring neighborhood. Glad to have something exciting out in the sunset.

Unassuming, old school bar that allows you to bring in food (clean up behind yourself), have great drinks relax and have a good time. Unpretentiousness at its best.

Fun small bar with a lot of history near the beach in SF. Often has live music and other entertainment.

If you like old-school country and honky-tonk, this is your bar.

Western sun lit brazen brows
Fair weathered patina metal now
I hear the raspy voice of tuned strings
Making my way to bourbon wings.
