San Francisco's oldest saloon. Great atmosphere. A live band was playing at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

This place has an amazing vibe. The live music was absolutely incredible, the bartender had great energy and the prices were half of that from the other places. In definitely coming back.

walking by because the live band caught my ear: as i'm waiting at the bar to order my drink, watching the band, i pull out my phone to record the saxophone solo being shredded by this adorable grandma ) and the bartender shouts and flails at me NO! NO! like im breaking a law.
i'm startled and put my phone away asking what i did wrong - he SCREAMS at me, you DO NOT photograph before ordering a drink ! i respond okay i was waiting to and just wanted to catch her solo? he screams again to order my drink first ?? couldn't you just say, what would you like? - i get it in SF that everyone is obsessed w their phones but it was literally a timing thing.
why would i spend ANY money ordering a drink from a man who is screaming at me? he could have just asked what i would like??
but i guess it's more fun to humiliate the lady enjoying the music. i would have ordered something just to stay for the band but never giving my cash to a place with such rude staff. Extra star for the hot granny on sax.

Overpriced, no real menu, and the restroom situation isn’t great. However, there is live music and a fairly nice crowd.

They only accept cash, but they don’t clarify when you walk in. So I went in, sat for a while watching the band, but nobody came to take my order. When I moved from my spot, the man behind the bar—who I think is the owner—spoke to me and kicked me out because he pressured me to order something, but I didn’t have cash. Anyway, the only good thing about the place was the band I got to listen to for a bit. Really bad attitude and predisposition, and he even spoke to me in a rude, aggressive way when i wasn't doing something wrong on purpose. If you dont want people to walk, just control the entrance man and don't take it out on me. Never coming back and wont recommend.

The bartenders are always phenomenal. Sherry is always so attentive and the live band is always great! Cash only but worth the stop in
Old dumpy dive bar. Bunch of old timers get together and play live music.

Heard somebody say it’s a quintessential SF bar and I’m just gonna have to piggyback off that. Really great place to me, on the smaller side but that just makes it a little more fun. Cash only
