50 Best Sports Bars near South San Francisco

“Absolutely amazing food . Came here on a trip from jersey and was recommended here . You won’t regret it .“

“The pink pancakes, huevos rancheros and chiliques were outstanding. Loved the food. The place is in an odd location: industrial fruit packing district in a weird parking lot. We didn’t think we were at the right place because of all the fork lifts. Server was lovely. It’s not the best atmosphere for breakfast but the food was good.“

“A perfect site for relax a have a good time with your friends or just drinks!!!“

“great place for friends and family but not a place to bring your own gear. but I still recommend it if you just wanna a good time.“

“Nice place to watch sports“

“What could have been a less-than-pleasant review has turned into a 4/5 stars for me thanks to one of the co-owners jumping in to take care of us. It was 1pm on a Saturday, we came in the server working told me to order at the bar if I wanted to sit outside. He didn't bother to mention that they're only serving the brunch menu and the hard copy menu I grabbed from a table didn't have dates/times specified for service hours. Turns out they're ONLY serving brunch at 1pm... and NONE of the items we wanted (including my starving toddler) were available. I'm super appreciative of the co-owner who followed us outside and offered to check in with the chef about food options. The kitchen made my kiddo mac 'n' cheese and salmon tacos, saving my sanity.

This was completely unexpected and changed my perception of the restaurant. I'll be coming back, this time when they're serving the lunch/dinner menu so we can try everything else we wanted.

Seating isn't great for kids who aren't tall enough for bar stools. There was one standard height table in the parklet and one inside.“

“Our regular stop when in San Francisco....and our favorite St. Patrick's Day loca....“

“On our honeymoon, they made us feel very special, fantastic food, outstanding service, thank you Shah for all of your attention!!“

“good food and drinks! Laid back, fun , casual neighborhood bar, New England pub atmosphere,.“

“This was a great find as we were looking to eat dinner at The Bird but it was closed.. Turns out they serve the same food one door over after the restaurant closes, but in a bar instead. The place was great, servers were friendly, and there was enough seating. The music was a bit loud for our taste, but bearable for a short while. It was a bar after all. So glad we found this spot.

Parking: Difficult to find parking in Hayes valley at all times, avoid driving if you can“

“We had Rompiballe Sandwich and The Milanese Sandwich. Our favorite one was The Milanese Sandwich even if both sandwiches were very tasty. It was very fresh and we liked the harmony of ingredients. Service was fast and we didn’t have a difficulty finding a table. I felt like I was in a nice sandwich shop in Firenze. Thank you!“

“This bar is so cool! The Bartenders are so nice and make awesome drinks and and awesome kitchen! I tried one of their burgers my first time there and it was awesome! I like to go on Sundays when they have a karaoke crew come in! I always have fun coming out and meeting new and more people to sing with!“

“Great local bar with affordable drinks!

We came on a cold Wednesday and it wasn’t busy at all but it was still a great place to watch a game.

This place does get extremely popular and busy when it’s warm outside or there’s something big going on! They have mostly indoor seating but also outdoor.

There’s no food menu but you can bring food from outside, like Za Pizza.

With the photos on the walls, this place is a blast from the past and honors the history of San Francisco.“

“Lady always that serves me is always nice and pleasant I always go in there and get the gumbo it never stinks or smells real fishy it's always a whole half of crab the food is good and if I ask him I can watch whatever I want to see on the TV they good folks“

“Love the sushi and D J.great food and TVs every where I really like it.“

“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.“

“Spent a great evening a the Mad Dog in the Fog. Good food. Good trivia. Great people. Thanks to Killian for making our night sensational. Best Irish pub in San Fran.“

“Brixton is a gem! The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, the service is top-notch, and the food is consistently delicious. Their cocktails are expertly crafted, and every dish, from appetizers to mains, is full of flavor. A perfect spot for a fun night out or a casual dinner with friends. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for contributing to the great night out :)“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“Good food 🥘 Fun atmosphere“

“I was grumpy that my people were dragging me here and I was WRONG. It. Was. AWESOME!! Food was great. Drinks were great. People were great. 10/10. Get the fried chicken. Or the wings. Or the rice bowl. Or the brussels sprouts. Or anything; they’re not here to disappoint.“

“Great food and quick service.“

“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.

There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.

Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.

To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.“

“Its airport food, its ok but nothing to write home about. The service on the other hand was great. Im used to gettimg my food and never seeing wait staff again but this place was different and i really like that. Will stop in here to eat because of that when i can. “

“I could give a F about Basketball but sadly it's an opening to charge 9,10 dollars for a beer. Beer were decent but certainly not 10 dollars beer. I really liked the view of the water and ship yard, also it was well wind protected. Parking here sux! Watch out for time and day limits. As for food it's basically a pretzel pub, big gourmet pretzel but...eh!...No food trucks in sight. Bring a pizza. Beer Rules“

“Best Irish coffee in San Francisco and the three Sullivan s are the kindest nicest bartenders in the country 😎😎🍀🇺🇸“

“Good drinks, great atmosphere, best food!!“

“Home for relaxation and heart breaking last minute goal“

“Favourite neighbourhood bar!“

“Found out my great grand father owned this bar 70 years ago and came in here early this afternoon and I'm so amazed how amazing the staff and customer were to me and telling me stories about the bar was an amazing experience for my 1st time. Ever I love this bar“

“So much fun, great service.“

“Great location and selection of food and the selection is expanding from what I hear! Kid friendly and a great place to have birthday parties, happy hours, or for any reason. Indoor and outdoor seating options (dog friendly outdoors). They also have lots of TVs for MMA, European, Cricket, and all sports fanatics, inclusive of Baseball, Basketball, and Football! VJ’s also has a FULL COCKTAIL BAR! Great beer selection as well! The owner and his staff are all great. Come by and check out VJ’s! It’s next to the UPS Store at Marina Village.“

“Me and my boys love to go to this bar after we play basketball on Sunday nights at the recreation center nearby. We've been going there for years. They always have the game on for us and the bartenders have been fun to chat with, especially Mary who loves to make sure that we stay hydrated with water while we enjoy our beer.“

“The food was awesome 😋😋 The atmosphere was good 👍👍“

“Great spot. It’s a local gem.“

“Such a cool and chill spot.“

“The grilled salmon is spectacular!“

“I've been meaning to write this review for three years. That's when my wife and first started going to this fantastic bar in Sunnyside. It's always a fun, relaxed, and welcoming experience–for regulars and new faces alike. Good people, excellent beverages, very nice pool table. Shoutout to Rudy.“

“This is our 1st time to San Francisco from from Washington and were able to watch the Seahawks game among all the other games with a great crowd of football fans! Food and service was amazing especially during such a crowded busy time!!! Thank you!!!“

“The sweetest waitress I've ever had! Food was to die for, the Salmon BLT has me on the floor swooning it was so good. The Lemonade I had with it was not overly sweet and had a amazing lemon level. 10/10 would be an amazing place to bring anyone to, friends, family, first date, and great for coworkers!“
