The San Francisco Athletic Club

Currently 340pm on a Thursday. Menu says happy hour from 3pm - 5pm M-F and asked about what items were under happy hour and was told "we're actually not doing that right now". A little strange, but fair warning for the HH folk.

Trash. Absolutely trash. I've been here twice. The first time I went I noticed the place was really dirty. Both on the inside, and outside. Not to mention the food is way overpriced for food that is mediocre at best.

Second time I went, It was all pretty much the same, except this time around the staff were not very nice. And this was before we got our drinks which were terrible. The last straw for me was when we finally got our wings (after a 40 minute wait when they were barely any customers in the place) They were overcooked and dry. I was honestly going to go complain to the owner but I saw him walking around and he looked half drunk. He was also creeping out some of the women there as well. I tried giving it a chance but it's a failure.

Great sports bar in an area where they are few and far between

Quite disappointed. Called 2x to inquire about watching an upcoming MLS match. Never could get a human on the phone but when you press option 1 to “ask about a specific match” it gives a recording stating that they can show ANY match, on ANY streaming platform. So after spending $25 in Ubers, I was incredibly disappointed to learn that in fact they don’t carry Apple TV plus and cannot show MLS games. ***(I will happily amend this review once you update your phone menu/messages and stop misleading poor unsuspecting souls like me).

They have the NFL Sunday Ticket and good drink specials. The menu is better than the average sports bar with a few semi-healthy options (popcorn sans butter, lettuce wedge salad, and plain pretzel bites are your best healthy vegan options).
If you’re a group and plan to grab a table please beware: It does get extremely crowded and packed to the point where you can’t enjoy the game bc either people are bumping into you from the adjacent tables (they pack them way too close together), or the wait staff is constantly in front of you blocking your view of the TV.
The menu is hit or miss; they really don’t know how to make proper cauliflower “buffalo wings”; the end result is an overly greasy bland mess. Sandwiches were ok as were the pretzel bites (one of the safest things to eat here).
Service is so so depending on who’s assigned to your table

SFAC was awesome. As tourists in SF, we were looking for a spot to watch the Stanley Cup Final. The crew at SFAC made sure we felt taken care of when we arrived early for the game and reserved a table for us to make sure we had a great seat. Awesome service, welcoming, and went above and beyond for a sports bar.

Very fun laid back atmosphere, we had my mom and our two year old. It was crowded but they made it work for us to get drinks, food… until a table became available. Tons of TVs. Great seltzer options.

I’ve come here for college football matches (go gators!) and have had good experiences. Everyone is friendly, good beer selection at reasonable prices, and as a vegetarian there were decent food options. Also a good amount of tv’s. SFAC has become our go-to place for games

They got rid of their awesome outdoor set up and the food is very bad and service not much better. Pro is that they have lots of TVs for watching the game inside.

We went here for a pay-per-view UFC event. The staff was great, food and drinks were so-so, and the atmosphere was incredible. Great sports bar - would go again.
