It's a cool bar with a unique atmosphere. If you want to listen to live street jazz, this is the place.

The waitress stole my money. I gave her a $100 bill and she gave me change for a $20. Only when I called the Police did she give me my $100 back. Do not visit this bar. They are scammers. They take advantage of tourists. The waitress, security & bar owner are all a part of the scam. She said i was drunk when i had only had 2 drinks prior to going in the bar.

Paid our first tab with a $50 bill. No problem. Paid our third tab with a $50 bill and the bartender swapped it with another claiming it was fake. Just a bit sketchy. Atmosphere overall was great, though!

I wanted to like this place but I feel like my group was disrespected. We walked in didn’t cause any scene. We bought 6 drinks at the bar with the only cash we had and tipped our bartender. We sat there and enjoyed our drinks and music. Then the performer decided to pass around the tip jar directing people to tip. Last time I checked and tip is not mandatory and if he should be paid for the performance that should have been known at the door. He shoved the tip jar in all the members of my group one by one demanding tip. We manage to find a couple dollars but didn’t have further cash and used it all drinks. The performer then demanded that he would play one song and then kick us out in a condescending tone. I’m not sure if it’s a standard to be kicked out by the bands demanding a tip but it felt rude to a group who wasn’t causing trouble and already paid for drinks. He didn’t even do it to everyone else in there. What a shame….

Performer (at 8pm) demanded my group be kicked out because we didn’t “tip him enough” when he shoved his tip jar in our faces and demanded a tip at the cash only bar where we used all our cash. Have a cover if you want everyone to pay. Very disrespectful, we will not return.

Positive note, bartenders were nice.

Nice place, good music but staff who don't want you to stay. Dear barman...remember that a smile is free. Avoid glaring at customers and always addressing them in an annoyed manner. You just make me want to leave

Wonderful end to an evening with friends! Great music, unique atmosphere and great vibes. This venue offers the true American live music experience: authentic, energetic and engaging. A place you absolutely cannot miss if you are in San Francisco. I can't wait to go back on my next visit

I don't know if the bartender is an employee or the owner, honestly I think he should change profession. Not everyone can be in contact with the public. The impression is of being constantly observed, and in fact he did, he always spoke to us in a grumpy way, he had an annoyed look, and he makes you feel unwelcome. More than a saloon I felt like I was at the sheriff's office. A place for old people made to please them, not suitable for young people. I will 100% never return. The only star is for the band because was good.
