To be honest, just found this bar searching for places in the Mission. I’ve lived here all these years and glad I picked this spot. Good vibes, really great service, and stiff drinks worth the price! Love they have cocktails and hot drinks! Vinyls and then an organist? Yes. Thanks for a fun evening! People watching was also fun!

If you want quirky, fun, SF-vibes, this is the place to go. Good cocktails, funky atmosphere, nice music, and reasonably priced (for the city).

Don’t go here for the cocktails, they are bad. Vibe is good.
Yeah, it's great just a little small, especially in a cool night when the patio is not pleasant. Great prices too (for well drinks)

The Royal Cuckoo is a true San Francisco gem. Owner Paul sets the tone with his warm hospitality, and the rest of the staff are the kind of charismatic, quirky personalities that make this city special. The cocktails are expertly crafted, with a thoughtful selection for those who prefer alcohol-free options. Nice selection of tap beers. The space itself is a delight—vintage, dimly lit, and full of character, with eclectic taxidermy touches that add to its charm rather than overwhelm. And the backyard patio? An absolute oasis, perfect for a laid-back evening. A must-visit for anyone looking to soak up some classic SF atmosphere. Bonus is the epic vinyl collection which sets the backdrop.

Retro red & dark - cool as hell. Vocalist Lavay Smith popped up singing last time I went for a friend’s birthday.
