This place is tight… two pinball machines, one pool table and a couple tv’s for nba finals… bartender is super chill.. drinks are $6. During happy hour (3-7)… oh ya… dog friendly

If you're looking for a dive bar this place is perfect! A pool table, a couple of pinball machines, friendly bartender and a nice local crowd. Definitely will be back next time I'm in the city
Smooth dive bar if there is a thing. This place really grew on me the first time I went. Cheap drinks, great bartenders and a pool table. What more can you ask for?
Dark, dirty little dive with great drink specials and dogs are welcome to roam free if they're well behaved. Only one pool table but we didn't have any problems squeezing in a couple games. Lots of fun people hang out here and the staff are great.
Quite possibly the strongest, cheapest drinks in the city. Fun bartenders, great music, and they have retro gaming consoles to play at the bar!
Excellent old school dive: not v friendly, dark, kinda dirty, older patrons. Don’t come in here w main character vibes. They have 2 pinball machines.
Great dive bar where we will enjoy fond memories for a long time to come. We had fun guessing the playing card written on the under side of the PBR bottle caps, and for those into craft beer, they offer a great selection. Thanks for a fun time, bartender Stephanie!
I don't want to tell you about this place, because I don't want it to be too crowded next time I go. This is a neighborhood bar for regulars. We loved it! Tip the bartenders generously, and make a point to be social with the locals if you go invade this space :)
Nice laid back spot to throw back some cheap drinks. A respite dive bar where the jukebox is put to good use, a spot where the clientele can be a little debaucherous but you'll always be safe here.
One of the best jukeboxes. My pops used to go here with his friends (one lived upstairs), now I go here with friends. A family affair :)
Classic dive bar with two great pinball machines and dog water bowls.
World class dive bar owned by a serious old school punk. Cash only. Decent prices, especially for the area. A haven for punks, metal heads, and scoundrels of all sorts. I little taste of old school SF.

Amazing happy hour specials - try The Bums Choice. Friendly bartenders, great music and movies and sports on the 2 tvs. Cheers!

Really great place, perfect staff and a good price. However the silence in-between music is my personal nightmare. The rest is amazing
After COVID this little place definitely hit the spot! Outdoor seating, great prices on drinks and its dog friendly. Would recommend to anyone from San Francisco or just visiting I'll definitely return!

2 pinball machines in decent condition with $1 games & loose tilt sensitivity. Local place. See photos for vibe.

Went out last Friday to celebrate graduation with friends. The older female bartender with square glasses was rude and gave dirty looks to our group. She barged in on two girls in our group and falsely accused them of doing drugs. She then asked the other bartender to kick them out. The whole interaction was obviously motivated by the fact that we were minorities. It was a blatant act of racial discrimination and I strongly suggest picking another bar.
Didn’t leave a review last time I was at this place because I wanted to give it a second chance. My second experience was just as bad — this place has the most unnecessarily rude bouncer I’ve ever seen. Both of my experiences with this dude were awful
Bouncer here is a clown. Rude for no reason at all. We left without going in.
Came in to show our friend a day in the city and the bartender was not very welcoming. Asked her if we were not in the right place considering it’s a girls group hanging out. She ignored us but eventually got her to tell us her name was Dana. Dana was not a welcoming person.
