We stopped in for drinks and ended up staying for dinner! The fish and chips were sooo good, crispy yet still tender. We munched on charcuterie and hung out, great addition to the neighborhood.

I love this place so much. They allowed me to host my bday party and were beyond professional and helpful. Previous customers were all out way before the reservation started, large food orders came quickly so no pre-orders needed, and the manager Colm and bartenders were very kind and responsive. The space feels like someone’s nice modern apartment and always cozy. Cocktails are great too. Thank you!

This place is a welcome alternative to the very mediocre dark bars in the Castro full of depressing drunks and crappy beer/wine options. One side of the bar is full windows, which gives it a great convivial atmosphere.

Great neighborhood bar Lots of beer on tap including cider Great pub food

First off the service is amazing! The setting is comfortable and inviting, and then the wine and food was amazing. I meant to stop in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than anticipated. The team was amazing, so kind and great to talk to. Fish and chips, cheese plate and Caesar salad were delicious. The bubbles and Sauvignon blanc were also tasty. I’m coming back again tomorrow!! Finally a great neighborhood spot!!!

Great brunch options! I had a solid breakfast plate. I love the seating options too - casual yet stylish high top seating with airy bright natural light at atmosphere. Their actual preparation of the simple breakfast platter was impressive for the great price - I hate when fancy brunch places charge a ton for simple egg plates so I appreciate that they priced it affordably! Perfectly crispy bacon, tasty premium artisanal toast, and crispy home fries were just all well made and the service was super friendly. The manager also came by to check in and was clearly taking great care of the staff and customers. I didn’t have high expectations because it seemed like they just started offering brunch but I’m so glad to stop in when I walked by. Definitely stop by and try Bar 49!

Great chill neighborhood bar with food that’s popular with locals. Friendly, attentive bartenders and good cocktails. Highly recommended!

Such a great addition to the Castro -- friendly service, broad range of offerings, beautiful tile behind the bar. Here's hoping Bar 49 will be a long-standing presence in the neighborhood! Definitely worth stopping by

Amazing place to go for a night out with friends! Drinks & food are amazing; highly recommend the chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, mozzarella sticks and pizzas. Make sure you try their cosmo and Moscow mule! Very friendly staff as well!

I’ve been to every iteration of this address over the last 17 years and Bar 49 is my favorite concept for this location. I love the chill/hangout vibes. 10/10 That said, what I’m here to review is the service. Hands down, the folks that work here are genuinely the nicest crew in the Castro. I’ve never felt so welcomed & remembered by any other staff and THIS is what keeps me coming back. Most other places in the Castro are friendly too but there is something extra special about how this staff takes care of their guests. Thank you.

Smallish menu, but good food. Service is excellent- friendly, caring, timely. It can get crowded at times, but worth it. Solid selection of beer and wine (good wine is rare in the Castro neighborhood outside of the wine bars).

I’m a long time, former business owner in the Castro. Businesses come and go all the time. I’m so glad this spot is doing well. My sister and I went in for brunch this Sunday. We each ordered an adult beverage. I had the bloody Mary, that I loved so much! My sister got some vodka… Blah… Blah drink. I think she liked it as well. And we split the hamburger with onion rings and the breakfast club sandwich with Potatoes. Both were really good. However, the burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I would go back for that alone. But the service was the best part. Food obviously amazing. But the service was spectacular. I felt welcomed and attended to. Thank you so much for that! I’ll be back. ;)

It's an odd shaped space. Many businesses have tried to make a go of it there without much success. It should just go back to what it had been for years, the Baghdad Cafe. Some of the food items are tasty and others are too trendy and trying to hard. Portions are a good size. The beverage menu is almost all beer but the food offered does not really pair up well with beer. There are a very few other beverage choices if you are not a beer drinker. The unique paint color that has been chosen as their decor color does not lend itself to a comfortable atmosphere.

It’s a great spot, but the staff decides to close the kitchen early all the time- we’ve literally walked in 10 times in the last year during allegedly open hours only to be told the kitchen staff decided to close early. Tried to be nice about it but it’s happened one too many times for me to keep letting it go.

I really wanted to like this place but it was just okay. Pros: - super cute space, perfect amount of light - always seems to have a fun crowd Cons: - service was meh, not very friendly - menu said the chicken wrap comes with fries but they said it’s an add on when I went to order? For $20 after tax, it was dry and weird. Big chunks of cucumber and had cherry tomatoes instead of sun dried as the menu said. The actual chicken was good tho.
