Great old place. I just came back from San Francisco where Yancy's is located and walking in felt like coming home. This was the place I turned 21 and now 43 years later find myself standing at the bar. Yes, it looks a little worn like a favorite old sweater and totally comfortable. The only thing missing was the Pac Man machine in the back by the big screen. I love this part of San Francisco. A nice selection of restaurants little shops and just character and charm. If you are in San Francisco and want to check out an old neighborhood bar going to Yancy's won't disappoint you.

Very rude short woman bartender who was very aggressive in taking our IDs. She had zero patience even though it was a slow Saturday night and we were taking our time in figuring out an order for our group. I don’t know if she woke up on the wrong side of the bed but it seems like based on the reviews I’ve seen on here this is a typical experience. Avoid this bar.

Great dive bar with friendly bartenders and a good selection of draft beers and spirits. Plenty of room for groups to gather. Dart boards, multiple TV's, and groovy tunes! Fun spot to have some drinks for happy hour or after dinner in the neighborhood.

I love this place. Laura is a great bartender. Fantastic neighborhood spot. They show all of the sports, have pool tables, darts & plenty of places to sit down with friends. The bartenders pay attention to the regulars. The prices are good & the ambiance is comfortable! I've been in several times but not when Laura was behind the bar. I had my kids in my SUV, picking them up from a long day & ordering food from La Fonda & Pasquale's. I went in to use the bathroom. She said, "Hello!" She didn't know me for in being a regular as, I've never had a pint at the bar when he was working. She mentioned kindly, "The restrooms are for customer's only." I apologized. I love that she paid attention as, she didn't know me from a hole in the ground. I can only imagine how many stragglers come in, only to use the toilet or wreck havock. I'm looking forward to coming in on her shift & ordering from her. It's a gem of a place with an excellent staff. Good to have a neighborhood gem with staff that pay attention.

We stopped in a few time's for drinks. Both bartenders were very kind and welcoming! It is a relaxing atmosphere. When we come back to San Francisco we will definitely stop by again.

Been coming to Yancys since I moved to the inner sunset. Giovanni got us hooked here. Between him & Nate this bar has become my favorite place to hangout. Conversation- amazing. Music- incredible. Drinks- same as every other bar. Everyone in the inner sunset should come here, they treat you like family.

Bartender put us off before we even were able to order. Didn’t like that we put two small tables together, to make room for seven, and food, we left. By the way, it was at 7pm, and no crowd, only a handful of people at the bar. Way better bars elsewhere in the neighborhood.

A fun bar with a great setup. Plenty of space so it doesn't feel cramped and many TVs so you can view them from any place in the bar.
One of my favorite bars in the area, doesn't fit the mold which is

Fyi i hope you like your free popcorn extra salty. This divey bar has been around for ages and is a regular hang out for many locals. There is no food other than free popcorn offered however you can bring in outside food. Ecclectic rotation of Asians, college students, hipsters and the like. Nice big tables in the back for groups and cozy nooks you can lose yourself in. popular game day hang out with 3 dart boards in the back.

Super chill -- they have darts, couches, and a bartender that is... a bartender ?
Alexis is the best Bartender in San Francisco
