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!!! :)
Great experience, actually friendly people here! Very welcoming Local kinda watering hole ~ not a huge selection of beer but a full bar. Will be back!
This place really lives up to its name! Everyone is very inviting. The bartender and the people are very nice. You can play pool and hang with friends for a reasonable price. I was visiting from San Diego and had a lovely time here
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 :)
We are visitors from Australia & loved visiting the friends bar - full of friendly locals with great drinks and a delicious BBQ! Thanks for your service Randy & Evelyn ❤️
Great friendly local atmosphere.
Had an unexpectedly crazy fun night at Friends Bar last night. Evelyn, the owner, is a fantastic host!!! It was a pleasure hanging out with her and the clientele. Definitely coming back!
The $15 barbeque dinner plate was gourmet quality with generous portions!!! I must put it on my calendar that it's done on Friday, Saturday and Monday. A true hidden gem in SF !!!
Gorgeous owner and staff - they made us feel like we have been going there forever. We will be ! The name is very appropriate ...Thanks "friends" for a great night...
It's a cool neighborhood bar that is good to let off some steam. Has a Foosball table and pool table. Bartenders are helpful & nice.
The name says it all, I’ve only been here a few times but the regulars are always friendly and welcoming. Classic dive bar in the area
Looks like a little whole in tha wall but inside is big has pool table foosball back patio coverd (love that smokers too) and good local beers good place for games wit flat screens bartender was funny!!
Good local dive bar for meeting friends or for getting out of the house for a couple of hours but still on waking distance of home. Friendly bartenders and decent drinks on hand.
Always have a great time here! Finally got a chance to try the BBQ combo plate and was not dissapointed, yum :)
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.
Been driving past this bar for years and went for the first time last night. I had the greatest time playing pool and everyone there was super friendly. Excited to come back next weekend and hopefully many more!
