Sam's Cable Car Lounge

Stopped in Monday around 1:30 PM. Had a quick drink and ordered the Mediterranean Veggie platter. Bar tender was friendly and attentive.

Happy hour 2-6pm Mon-Fri - $8.50 beer/wine + 20% service charge - and it's a decent serve - see photo. Complementary popcorn and nuts to top it off. The hot dog got the thumbs up from my drinking buddy. Central location away from traffic with cable cars rattling by for SF atmosphere.

Nice place near Macy’s in San Francisco. It’s an old style bar with great service and nice drinks. The only thing I didn’t like there was options of appetizer. Their service was very quick and this makes it a great place to go for a quick drink.

A cool spot offering a huge selection of spirits with a nice variety on the cocktail menu too! Service was efficient and friendly and the added touch of complimentary popcorn and nuts was awesome!! A great sports bar with all the games on multiple screens and a great selection of cigars was also on offer. All in all a great spot!!

Close to hotel, so we went in for a nightcap. Big cigar case near the door. Not sure where people smoke the stogies. No one was smoking on the night we visited. The service was just okay. Not rude, but not gracious. The drinks were very expensive. $40 for a draft beer and a margarita. 20% service charge was added on to our bill.

Incredibly expensive. $30 for a house wine and a bottle of Coors. They try to hide the expense with some free snacks. Don't bother.

Literally the most expensive beer I've had in my life. Just over $30 USD for 2 draft beer. After the currency conversion, worked out to roughly $45. Receipt had a 20% surcharge on it from the manager to give his staff a 'livable wage'. That should be his job, not the customers. Not to mention a higher sales tax (over 8%) than I paid anywhere else we went. Do not recommend.

This place needs a business model re-adjustment. Over 22% in tacked on fees and they didn’t even acknowledge happy hour when it’s posted on the front window! $46 for 1 beer, 1 hot coco and the cheapest app on the menus. BWEARE. I’ve had better deals at the airport.

Total rubbish. They add 20% service fee, by default, and 3.5% trans tax (what is that?!) and 8.6% sales tax to your drinks.

AVOID—Horrible pizza and overpriced beer. They will add 20% service charge to your bill without notice a pizza and 1 beer priced at 60$ because of the extra fees they add— I was alone so it wasn’t for a big group and wasn’t gratuity.. they want that separate. Skip it.

Omg really bad service i went there for drinks Pay for 4 Beers they charge me $63.04 plus 20% off tips this it’s not right in San Francisco it’s illegal to do this they still wanted me to leave extra tips too no 👎 it’s not okkk A call to speak with a manager, but they told me that he was out for two today. I asked him if somebody else were in charge. They told me No people don’t go here they will still your money ..

Microwaved food served on paper plates Terrible do not recommend Went for happy hour 2 rum and cokes 2 blue moons mozzarella sticks gyoza $87

Please do not go to this bar as a tourist. There is 1 toilet so unisex and we had 2 pints and were charged approx $33 or £23.31. What a rip off and after being charged a 20% service charge, I was asked for a tip when paying. Outrageous

17.00 for a pint of beer and not so great pizza. Never be back again.

Walked in with my lady for 1 shot each and leave, asked for well whiskey and for 2 shots total it was nearly $30. I get prices at high class places might be high but this is no high class place. Prices are ridiculous, you want a good reputation this is not the way to do it. I most likely won’t come here again unless it’s a last resort. What a shame.

2 draft beers. (Basic sierra Nevada, nothing special) was $31.60. Most places in the country that would have been $13-14.

DISHONEST owner and management. You get the bill at the end and realize they add on 20% service charge (which does not really go to the wait staff / bartenders - only 8% of that). Also by the way this is not the "SF downtown tax" etc. Just a horrible way to run a business I hope this place goes under, will never go back. AVOID at all costs.

They say 8,50 for a house wine, but let me pay 21 dollar per house wine. I consider this a scam. They blame me for not reading the small letters, but i also sympathized with their "family business, support the locals" sign. It totally felt like a rip off
