The best dive bar around town! Get there early to claim a pool table. Drinks are strong & cheap & bartenders are hilarious!

A go to staple for me. Plus they have indoor bike parking. Great drinks, amazing food, wonderful people.

Locals unite. No one can it nicer than Cat Ho, the bar director at Arcana in the standard. On nights when she’s able to leave Arcana before 11 p.m., Ho pops over to this 33-year-old dive. She says all the items are hits but gives special shoutouts to what the menu calls the “classic schnitzz” ($13), a take on a fried chicken sandwich, and the “bent totzz” ($12), which sees tater tots smothered with bacon, shredded cheddar, lettuce, house sauce, and a mountain of pickled jalapeños. But the draw for Ho is the “din din noodzz” ($8), a plate of spicy yakisoba noodles stir-fried in a peanut sauce and sprinkled with herbs, bell peppers, and seasoned peanuts, to which she adds a piece of fried chicken ($9). “After a long shift or night out, that’s pretty much all I’m craving.” Say hi if you see me and my tall friend stuffing our faces with schnitzel sandwiches and having a beer.

My weekly pool spot. Extremely nice people. I don’t like drinking that much and they never pressure me. I just go pay for the pool table and have fun!

Lively rock-based pub in downtown San Francisco. Bartender was awesome and friendly. Don't forget to ask for a Lemmy (JD&Coke) while you're there.

The bartender, Johnny, is a very cool dude :) Had a burger from Overkill Grill located inside Benders. Pool table, jukebox, rock and roll. Many IPA's on draft. I'm an IPA guy. Tell Johnny I said hi.

Great place to visit if you want to play competitive pool, have great drinks and socialize. The food options are decent and accommodate vegetarians. I did get to witness a bar fight but it was quickly resolved.

10/10 atmosphere; this place is a little oasis of the true SF and the Mission spirit. Has a pool table and grunge aesthetic, but still plenty of space to mingle and meet new and old friends. Lighting is not as dim as other places, making it more inviting and welcoming + shows off the cleanliness of the kitchen (solid burger!) Hidden gem

Actually a true dive bar. Great atmosphere, cold drinks. Very cool vibe! Felix is awesome! Drinks were locals prices and good. Didn't order food but employees, locals that were there and music was awesome. This is not a tourist trap or a high-end bar that tries to be a dive bar. This is truly a local neighborhood bar where you can relax and have a good conversation and enjoy the people.

Good hangout place especially for people who loves pool. I am not sure how crowded this place can be but we got a table and play several games when we arrived around 4 pm on Saturday. It is only 2 dollars a game and you can purchase food and drink easily. You can even go to play a pool without food, but you will feel like you want to support the business. And the food is legit! I got a burger and it is delicious. I wish the patty is bigger even if a higher price. Still it is a solid burger with bacon and cheese. Tater tots is also great, crispy from the outside, piping hot and soft inside. Definitely a good place to hang out with a pub vibe.

Great spot with a bit of a punk rock vibe. Excellent pool tables mostly for sharks. They have cool shows, and play good music even when they dont. It can get a bit crowded just like any spot in the city but it's never too overwhelming. The staff are always friendly and cool. They pay attention to taking turns ordering but are also quick enough you often don't have to wait too long. Beer selection is a decent range, not sure I've tried much of anything else in my visits but have heard they have a good burger. It's one of the highlights of first moving to SF and remains a favorite even though I don't always make my way over there.

Came here right when they opened for our lunch break, sooo good. I got one of the grilled cheesez with crispy tortillas and enchilada sauce, such a tasty snack. The tots were also great, super crispy.

The coolest hole in the wall bar around. Pete pours em heavy and Richard makes an incredible smash burger. Don't forget the tots! Damn!!!!

Always a great time with old & new friends & pups on the back deck. Full bar, pro bartenders, classic juke box & tasty kitchen. Perfect spot to kill the afternoon. ***Bent Burger*** keeps me up at night, haunts my waking hours, meets & exceeds my momentary emotional needs. I can't quit you Counter Offer.

Another chill spot for the locals proud of its dive, biker-bar like feel with two pool tables, a popup food spot inside, and a cage door haha. When we were here it was dead so guess there are some weeknights where you've got all the room and tables you'd want.

Dive bar. Fun spot. Good food. Pool tables.

Cash only dive with pool tables and bike storage. Fun laid back place, but it's an odd mix of people and too many smokers.
