“Nice Irish bar right in the middle of Broadway in Burlingame. The drinks are decent and there’s a great atmosphere. They have a little beer garden at the back which isn’t noticeable so ask at the bar for it to go look for it. It’s a cash only bar but they do have an ATM indoors but it charges you for a transaction. Best bring cash with you.“

“awesome pub very friendly gutted we only found it last night highly recommended 👌“

“The best bar in the Haight and it's even better on the first Fridays of the month when they have live Grateful Dead music! Went again last night and had a blast not to mention they've got Dogfish Head Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale. Neil pours a perfect pint and the prices are right! A true SF treasure! Bonus - I scored a Doghead T-shirt :D“

“Been to this place twice. Dropped in on a Friday and it was kinda slow The gentlemen working the bar didn't seem like he wanted to be there. But he still put on a smile when serving the drinks. Went back a there was a woman bartending. She was extremely sweet and very welcoming. There was also a back patio that also has a tv and you could smoke back there.“

“Great local pub atmosphere, good food and friendly staff.“

“Honestly, as a beginning patron at this establishment, I found the size and friendliness of this Irish pub substantially welcoming ??(that's a two thumbs up). Surviving the restrictions of covid, we all had to make allowances regarding dining. So getting there with some streets still blocked off in San Mateo(to better the businesses survival of our industries) it may take you a few twists and turns to get there so DON'T GIVE UP if your GPS tells you to take a turn and you find it has blockades... Just go another block or two down and you'll find yourself on the right street. Parking is a little strained... But the secret is there a little alley directly across the street from the front door and there's a number of slots avail at NO COST! On Tuesday nights they have an amazing kareoke event, but be prepared to get on the waiting list as my last experience it was pretty much packed... Which I dig cuz the audience participation was like a community. The bartender ALWAYS replaced your glass with a fresh chilled pint glass when you're trying one of their many flavors of draught on tap and was always on duty ready to serve his patrons. Friendly, warm and inviting. I take enjoyed myself and have returned since then. Prices are very fair. I suggest trying the Cali Squeeze on tap on a hot summer day. The essence of orange infused with a malt beverage is so refreshing on a warm day and doesn't seem so heavy when you're hot. I'll be returning.“

“Great old Skool bar. Bartender rocking on Spotify! good times! good drinks! Good peeps!“

“Would absolutely recommend this bar. Corey was incredible, he’s a great conversation and even made us a special concoction for fun. The people and environment is a 10/10, everyone was so friendly and ready to jump in on a conversation. However, we were drawn in with the belief food would be on the menu but were informed the kitchen had been closed for a few years now. So if you’re hungry, don’t count on any fried pickles or bacon tots.“

“Home for relaxation and heart breaking last minute goal“

“Great local and visitor’s vibe. Family experience as a local guest. Good billiards talent… I’m home from the hospital today, Dovre family.“

“Harrington’s has quickly become one of my favorite bars in San Francisco. It has that rare combination of being lively and energetic while still feeling comfortable enough to actually have a conversation with your friends. The atmosphere is always fun, and the crowd is a great mix of locals, regulars, and people just looking for a good night out.

It’s such a great spot for a girls’ night because the food is surprisingly good. We ended up ordering a bunch of snacks to share, and everything paired perfectly with our drinks. It’s the kind of place where you can come hungry, stay for hours, and never feel rushed.

One thing that really stands out is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The bartenders and servers keep the energy up, make great recommendations, and genuinely seem like they enjoy what they do. And yes—they’re also an attractive crew, which definitely adds to the fun vibe without feeling pretentious.

If you’re looking for a neighborhood bar with great drinks, tasty food, a social crowd, and excellent service, Harrington’s is an easy recommendation. Every visit has been a great time, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“Great venue for parties & just a nice place to have drinks. Beer selection is fabulous as is the atmosphere. McGoverns bartenders are fun friendly & helpful. There are numerous games to enjoy playing from table hockey, billiards, checkers, pinball, ect. If you walk in solo...you’ll find yourself with plenty of friendly people & conversation!“
