Paul SMarch 29, 2014Old School! This place is great! Pub food at really reasonable prices. Skee-Roll, Mortal Kombat, Pool, Foosball, and GOLDEN TEE for your entertainment pleasure! Lots of TVs to watch sports on.
Amazing beer selection, both on tap and cans/bottles. Food menu should cover your needs, they even have a brunch menu until noon.
Multi-story bar with plenty of space and plenty of screens for watching sports while hanging out. Also have bar games to play as well, and pretty good appetizers.
It can be brotastic at times, but it's spacious and has a little something for everyone, whether a tourist, a TV watcher or game player.
Joey CombsMay 23, 2015Great selection of beers and a big pool table. Great place to bring a big group of friends and throw back a few cold ones before heading out.
Gnat BrainOctober 25, 2016Your classic sports pub and bar but with great craft beer options to boot.
Michael CruzJuly 30, 2013This place is awesome! Give me skeeball, pool, giant tvs and a great craft beer list and I'm a happy drinker. This place has it all. Not just for tourist!
Matheus PortilloOctober 29, 2014Free cinema size screen for sports. "Free The Beatles". Free Nachos with yelp check in. Free pool. Totally worth it
Natalia BakerOctober 14, 2014Watch Monday night football with quesadillas, wings & sweet potato fries for a true American experience. Can also play shuffleboard & other games.
BommyJuly 29, 2015Huge space with various games and nice beer selection. Great place to come with a group or for sports games.
So many games to play, from fooseball, skeeball, and more. Big beer selection. $6 gets you a spin on the drink roulette wheel. Currently only open till midnight, though.
Great spot for a decent draught selection and yummy bar bites. Shuffle boards, arcade games, sports and banter.
Sabina B.December 21, 2014Great beer selection, but the main reason you're here is to play Buck Hunter/skeeball/shuffleboard. Better on weeknights, gets super crowded and fratty over the weekend.
Kaitlyn ReedAugust 28, 2013Spin the wheel of beers! It's worth the $6 plus they've got skee ball, shuffle board and the place is very spacious.
Bre RozApril 13, 2015There is a lot of fun to be had here, but if you drink too much, take the elevator back down. The stairs may be too much for you.
- Christie HeikkinenMarch 6, 2017Great for groups! Big beer selection, good food, lots of seating, and games to play!
_December 22, 2014Grab a beer and play some pool, skeeball, or just watch the game one of their many giant tvs.
Ali AndersonJanuary 31, 2015hidden gem in Union Square - huge space, shuffle board, and wide beer selection.
Multi-floored sports bar. Two giant shuffleboards. Private areas available to reserve for larger parties.- Yvonne KwanAugust 7, 2014HUGE selection of beers for every palate. They also have fun arcade games to entertain you!
Dave WhelanJanuary 14, 2015Everything seems to be a game of chance here. After I ordered, the bartender told me he gave me $2 off my burger, and the beer was free. Your mileage may vary.
Irina LeonidovnaApril 9, 2016Huge place, really great for watching games, in a group, and drink cheap drinks
Mar VJuly 17, 2013Entry-level craft beer list, but cool place! Can't wait to see what else they bring in once they are fully open.
Beer roulette wheel plus good deals on drinks for happy hour. Plenty of TVs of any sporting event is on too.
Not best place for a night focused on arcade/video games, even on a not busy days. 2 pinball machines often break, Wacky Gator intended for single mallet/hand. Not regulation skee ball lane length.
ShinaApril 25, 2015So many levels! Great place to watch a game and get some brews with a large group.- Greg SchechterAugust 14, 2014Lots of beer, TVs, and games. Check out the free popcorn and the skeeball
Paul CunninghamJuly 16, 2015Nice place. Good beer selection. Billiards, shuffle board, video games. $1 / play skee ball is pricy.
Anna LouFebruary 26, 2017Philly cheese steaks were popular in my group of 6. They have shuffle board!
Steven WallerMarch 13, 2015Epic by most standards, I'd consider going back to watch sports, play games etc
Best sport bar in San Francisco. Full choice of world beer
Great place to go to watch a game. Plenty of screens and lively crowd.
Michael DoughertyAugust 25, 2013Picked 3 beers in a row that they were out of, barkeep poured me a shot of Jameson. That's some good service ;D
Andrew ZimmerSeptember 15, 2015Large place with a volume model. Would be much better if kinks were worked-out, but still an acceptable experience.
Matt SOctober 31, 2013Tons of beers on draft but only a few that aren't fairly common. Big place. Lots of games.
Andrew SipotzAugust 28, 2013Cheap happy hour drinks but avoid food. Rotting celery one week, stone cold wings the next. Also the prices are misleading, happy hour doesn't get you a full order of food
On a crowded day, sneak in through the back entrance around the corner.
