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.

Atmosphere had all the vibes. Great drink selection and good ole darts to spend your time. Great service.

Pros: The bartender was really cool and personable. The space is huge and has the atmosphere of a speakeasy. It's in what appears to be a relatively safe neighborhood and there are other bars close by if bar hopping is on your agenda. They do have a variety of beer and I think most people can find something they like.Cons:People mention darts in a lot of reviews. As a league player from another state, when I travel I want to find a place to sling the ole arrows and this place is kind of a consolation prize in that regard. The right board was demolished and not usable as a regulation board. The middle board was off center and not movable. The board on the left was the closest thing to regulation but all in all, these boards need to be replaced. It costs $35 for a basic Unicorn board and $60-$100 for higher priced Unicorn or Winmau boards. And they last a LONG time if you don't leave darts sticking in them for days at a time (and rotate them). Lastly, for me, IPA selection is important and they only had one decent one from what I could tell. See if you can get some Pliny, Elysian Space Dust or even some Stone/Ballast Point IPA's... So yeah, darts doesn't factor in for most people, but it did for me, as did the paltry IPA selection.

I was here on a very quiet night seems like it would be a very good sports bar sometime I'll stop in and watch a game.

What do I say about Yancy's in 2023?Last time I was here was 2010 Giants playoff run. Before that was here weekly when George & The Wonders played. Fond memories.But it's not in my hood and it never comes up to meet at amongst the homies.Wonder why none of the homies come here anymore? 2023, the place is dark and empty on a Saturday evening. Strange. But I don't necessarily mind dark and empty. Cool.Sat down and ordered drinks. Ordered more drinks. Bill comes and looks high enough for me to take a look at. I breaks out my abacus. WTH?Did I teleport to Fisherman's Wharf tourist trap? This is still a local place to catch a Giants game on Irving right?Oh drinks on the rocks or neat are $1 surcharge per drink. Rocks. Neat. Surcharge. Club Soda is $2. Club. Soda. A bar. Neat and rocks surcharge. Do they pad the bill with an extra round, seemed like it but I can't say for sure. Didn't know I had to watch my tab like that here.Now I didn't go to Wharton but THIS Mr. Yancy is why your bar is empty on a Saturday night.Even drunks, degenerates, and lushes know what their bill should look like.Won't be back. Too many local places that don't treat drinkers like stumbly conventioneers on expense accounts or lost tourists who got on the J from downtown by mistake.Zero stars gets one star only for the memories.RIP George & The Wonders.RIP this bar.
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 ?

Yancys promotes itself as a sports bar. On Sundays they don't open until 12 Noon. Many NFL games start at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. So if there is a great NFL match-up on Sunday morning I automatically know I can't watch it at Yancys. Cocktail waitresses that consistently bug you to buy more drinks. Viewing angles that are uncomfortable and often obstructed by people walking in front of you. Overall not a good place to watch football games.

Love Yancy's! Amazing bartenders, great jukebox, friendly patrons, and love that you can bring outside food. Only a few things keep me from leaving a "5 star." The left two dart boards need to be replaced, as they've been so worn down that thrown darts often bounce off the boards. It'd be awesome if some of the tables were taken out and a pool table was added. I'd also like to see a return of the popcorn machine.
