Low profile bar. Divey feel, but a but nicer. Comfy booths and plenty of tables. Outdoor area is nice on those random sunny SSF days. They've got some good cocktails and good selection of beers in tap. Free popcorn at times as well.

Every bar should have a popcorn machine. This place is so cute and even if it wasn’t, there’s POPCORN.

What a great local bar. The girl behind the bar was fantastic good personality chatting with some of the locals. There was also a gentleman behind the bar as things started to get busy he backed her up, he was also very approachable. These guys know how to read a room. I will definitely be back.Parking: Little tricky to find parking close to the bar but if you continue to go around the block you can park on the street about a block or so away.

Nice selection of draft beers. Mix drinks are only made with fresh ingredients, no premade mixers.

A SSF local bar. The atmosphere was chill. When its warm the patio is a good idea. They have a pop up restaurant that comes in and makes different items like tacos, nachos. The two guys working the bar that evening put in some work. The line was extremely long for a Thursday evening no game. Amazing job!

Great cocktails and great company. The perfect, casual place to go and grab a drink with a friend or watch the big game. Friendly service and space to sit on a Tuesday evening!

Love this place. Animal friendly. Great tacos, beers and service.

Awesome spot that's been around for many years. A mainstay in SSF where maybe you founded a Biotech company on a napkin from here. Right off the freeway near some motels and car shops, they have a relaxed vibe for a easy date, Trivia night Wednesdays or Monday night football.They make some great classic cocktails, some with twists and have a great beer selection with local craft batches. Summer nights can include some time in the back patio or an after work drink, definitely a place that will not change in the face of the many new buildings going up. Gotta love it

Hidden gem with lots of potential. Bartender was great knowledgeable and experienced. Good music, patio a good spot for the locals.

Dive bar with a surprisingly nice outdoor patio. Good beers on tap. Great place to hang out for a beer after work.

If you can look past the dive bar faults then it's perfect. They even have comfy corner bars for you to post up and just drink. That's what a dive bar is for right? Moscow mule isn't bad for a dive either
