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

“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.“

“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.“

“Final Final will forever hold a special place in my heart. Was in town with friends visiting from NY and we were thrilled to find a bar that showcased New York sports. We watched the Knicks win their NBA Championship 🏆. The vibes were great, a lot of good energy and fun atmosphere. Was impressed with how the bar tenders handled the huge crowds. They seemed short staffed but you wouldn't know it
Very fun experience“

“Best oysters offer ever. So fresh, creamy and just delicious. Fs was as good as Kumamoto oysters. Couldn’t resist its deliciousness had to order two and half dozens. Also other food was good, please good service and friendly people. Definitely must visit“

“This past Saturday I decided to check out this place with my friends after the game. They have a variety of drink selections and a decent food menu options, including some vegetarian-friendly dishes. Service was 10/10! The girl who was helping us was friendly and patient with my friend, when she was struggling because of her English. All of us had a great time here. Glad we decided to give this place a try and will return!

Inner Richmond is not the most difficult neighborhood to find parking for in the city, but it can still be a hit or miss. Recommend people to just Lyft/Uber/Waymo.“

“We were hungry, it was Memorial Day, we just left Best buy, and we walking down the street, and we noticed this place and it had a big window whiich caught our eye and we looked in and decided to check it out. We had our furbabie with us and he was welcomed too. We ordered something to eat and a drink and water for our furbabie. They had all different games to choose from and a pool table. We ate, we drank, we played Bingo and won a few games, we received, free drink tickets to use that evening, and gifts we picked from. The people that worked there were polite and friendly and the customers were friendly too. There were other furbabies hanging out too. We enjoyed ourselves and we will be back to visit. They have a variety of entertainment for each day of the week.“

“Limoncello is a great spot in SF for a delicious, satisfying sandwich. The bread is fresh, the ingredients are flavorful, and every bite has a perfect balance of textures and savory goodness. Portions are generous, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch or casual meal. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere round out the experience. Definitely recommend!“

“Can’t beat the rustic atmosphere and the bartender was very friendly and informative.“

“Nice bartenders good drinks. Great place to watch football.“

“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.“

“This place is amazing. Great bartenders. Chill atmosphere with good bar food. Owner Paul is a great dude.“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“Went to Sam's Grill tonight, a long-standing restaurant in San Francisco. Fish is their specialty. I was not disappointed. I asked the waiter if I should order the lobster risotto or fish and chips. The waiter did not upsell, which impressed me. The fish was fresh and the batter was thin and crispy. The chips were good and the coleslaw was fresh.“

“such awesome chill vibe!! jessi the bartender was super sweet and made us feel super welcome, she was holding it down even amidst the masses at puzzle night. also just love the set up of the bar, really good for groups or to find a private space if needed“

“The grilled salmon is spectacular!“

“I always get the baja style fried fish tacos Nick's way. Had some friends try them last night, and everybody thought they were incredible. I personally also add their habanero salsa which you'll have to request for if you like that much heat. Their house margaritas are the perfect accompaniment. The staff is all great. It's generally busy every time I'm there but luckily I've never had to wait very long for a table (that might just be luck).“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Great food and quick service.“

“so my wife and I were craving some ramen for lunch in San Francisco. I came upon this random spot on Google, read the reviews & skimmed the menu. looked pretty damn good based on our personal ramen preferences. my wife ordered the black garlic oil ramen. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen. we both are very picky with our ramen - we like our broth rich, salty, creamy & flavorful. and let me tell you, coming from the east coast / NJ / NYC (we have great ramen spots there) - AFTER HOURS RAMEN TOTALLY DELIVERED 200%. I could not stress enough to my wife how satisfied I was with our meal today. oh & they had some nice 2000s hip hop/pop/r&b music playing during our lunch. loved it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you're in the SF area. located couple blocks from ocean beach so you can walk off your food.

AFTER HOURS RAMEN, thank you so much for the delicious food & service! this is our go-to now! see you soon!

PS. it's BYOB. there's a liquor store right on the corner of Taraval & 40th. you're welcome :)“

“Comfortable Like a well worn pair of shoes“

“A great place to enjoy a cold beer with great views of the bay and great vibes. I have been several times and always enjoy myself. I recently went to watch world cup, and another time after a Giants game. Two different experiences in terms of crowds, but the beer was great. I love the Kolsch. The bar tenders are very friendly and attentive. This has become my go to place to visit when I come to the city. Thrive City is a great addition to this beautiful city. Support these wonderful businesses around Chase that make this area worth visiting on non event days. I live two hours from the city, but always feel welcome at Harmonic when I visit.“

“Wow I’m amaze how the taste of their wings and fries I love it a lot. Just glad my sister take me here and the lady allow us to bring her dogs. It was such a nice gesture. Will definitely come back for their wings and will try their burgers

Food: Excellent
Service: excellent
Atmosphere: excellent“

“Great bar that has friendly patrons as well as lots of entertainment. You will often find love entertainment on the weekends, and always loads of pinball.

Bar has quite the selection of craft beers, and bar staff are knowledgeable to help find your perfect pint.“

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

“Awesome! This place seems like a hangout for Business People but after 5pm, it's a hidden gem for the locals. I love the environment, Sports on all the TVs, the Steak Nachos are Incredible and the Staff is Amazing! Definitely will Recommend to My Friends“

“On weekends they serve food and offer regular pool leagues for all levels. The regulars are friendly and open to talking to newcomers. If you’re from the area you need to go! They embrace locals and make you feel like you’ve always been there. Their shirts are great too and the smoking patio is a huge plus since it’s right out the backdoor. It’s a real SF institution with a ton of history and an even better staff of bartenders. Definitely one of my favorite spots to hang out in the city!“

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

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

“#AmazingBar #HiTopsSanFrancisco 🥰“

“Home for relaxation and heart breaking last minute goal“

“I went to watch the World Cup game. Brazil and Morocco . They have several tv. However I just didn’t enjoy myself. Maybe not my crowd. I don’t know. Felt like a family place crowd rather than a sport bar. I had yummy bloody marry and Diet Coke. My neck hurt tho watching tv. Since the position of the tvs and bar didn’t work for lot of us. Not their problem tho.“

“My new favorite dive bar in the city. A great blues band was playing the night we went and the atmosphere was fun and full of happiness. Excellent and creative cocktails (the Bee's Knees and the ginger cocktail are very much recommended). Service was exceptional, we'll be definitely coming back! Love this place, A+++

Parking: best to get here via ride share because parking is extremely difficult to find.“

“Such a cool and chill spot.“

“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.“

“i liked the food although hoegaarden beers should be served in a traditional hoegaarden glass…. wasn’t expecting a small glass“

“Great spot. It’s a local gem.“

“Plenty of TVs! Changed to my relatively obscure game (UVA v Northwestern on CBS Sports Network) upon request - even turned on the sound. Solid beer selection on draft. Several other games featured for other patrons. About half full on a Friday afternoon, with several friendly conversations adding to a nice vibe.“

“The steak sliders and garlic fries were so good! Service here is excellent! Dave and Tasani made sure to check on how I was enjoying the food and kept refilling my water! Excited for my next trip through SFO! Will definitely eat here again!“
