I've been meaning to write this review for three years. That's when my wife and first started going to this fantastic bar in Sunnyside. It's always a fun, relaxed, and welcoming experience–for regulars and new faces alike. Good people, excellent beverages, very nice pool table. Shoutout to Rudy.

Great experience! All locals and truly the most inviting bar I've been to in SF. Drinks and food are great, with the most reasonable pricing I have ever seen in SF! It really does live up to its name, and I've made more friends coming away from last night!!! :)

A super welcoming and lovely local bar. Everyone we met inside was incredibly friendly and the four of us had an awesome night because of it. A small place, but still has a pool table, foosball, and a cool outdoor patio. The owner's dogs are adorable as well! Would love to return!

Our favorite neighborhood bar. We’ve been in SF for almost 8 years and there’s really no place like it. You’ll meet the friendliest folks all around (owner, bartenders, guests). Whether you live in the area or are just visiting, you have to stop by. We love Evelyn and the Friends Bar crew :)

I haven't been here yet, but I felt like the two, single star reviews, needed to be outweighed by another 5 star review. I drive by this place all the time and it appears everyone is having a jovial time.
