They don’t allow costumers to split a bill. Very bad experience.

My experience was fantastic. Maybe because coming here was a part of a surprise party for my b'day. It is a magical place, probably very well known among locals, and might be a perfect tourist spot, because of it's atmosphere. It's like a living art nouveau painting and you're the main character.

Steeped in history, this bar has not lost its charm to tourism. Delicious drinks. Clean bathroom. And a place I easily spent too much time in.

By far and away the best bar in North Beach and one of the best in the city. This place has a really cool vibe and is nicely decorated. During the week it is usually decently busy, perfect for hanging out at the bar and chatting with friends or a date, but weekends it can get absolutely slammed. There is an upstairs section with nice views of the downstairs for people watching and of the street / alley outside, but sometimes it can be incredibly tough to snag a seat. It is pretty tight inside and not a huge place, but it is pretty easy to strike up conversations with people. When it gets slammed with people getting a drink can take awhile sometimes. Prices are definitely on the cheaper side and this bar really does attract all types of people. I always run into people visiting the city here, as well as people that are there all the time. Even when I am going out in other parts of the city I like to start off my night here and it is one of my favorite bars.

Years later, I still tell stories about the Long Island Iced Tea I had here. Perfection.

This bar is for people watching, you'll see tourists, dates, and even the occasional pseudo intellectual; cough, cough..........

Somehow this place is over hyped but sticks the landing. Maybe this comes down to the prices being reasonable and the bartenders seemring to care about the bar and the experience.
