Athonia CappelliDecember 1, 2017Vegans: Ask them to hold the worsteshire & horseradish (it has egg in it). That’ll make it 100% herbivorous. Hell, you could feed that drink to your brachiosaurus 🦕‼️ what’s more? it’s only $5!!
Jessica RaeSeptember 3, 2013Day Drinking. Popular mission biker bar with large outdoor beer garden and BBQ, great for sunny day drinking. Great Bloody Mary’s. Motto: “Warm Beer, Cold Women”.
cami j.April 25, 2017the menu is expansive, and the bartenders are friendly. lots of great local beers on tap, and the beer garden out back is great! also, the grilled cheese is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🔥🔥🔥.
It is nice to sit outside with a friend for a beer in the afternoon. It can be a little cliquey here, but mostly nice enough. They have so many beers on tap, there's something for everyone.
Marcelo GobettiMarch 31, 2019great vibe, sit outside and enjoy the sun with good music, good beer and of course good burgers and fries! also smoke-friendly so you can be yourself without worrying that much about annoying folks
Lucero ViktoriaMay 3, 2015great beer garden type of place to chill with a cold one on a warm day. plenty of shade, unlike the open Biergarten. immensely popular, so get comfortable with the (mostly hipster) crowd and noise.
Probably the best open bar place to hang out with friends amongst noisy crowded ambience. Smoking is allowed too. Try the burning daylight.
Brian StraussSeptember 7, 2015Perhaps my favorite bar in life. Slight anarchist vibe, mixed with cheap (for SF) drinks, plus a killer outdoor area makes for a fabulous daytime drinking spot.
This bar has become a faux dive. Most of the people that come in are slumming it for the day. I miss when this was a real dive,now everyone is a techbro incognito.
Jon BlajApril 18, 2013Hammer in some ultra bonuses w/ Slayer at yer back and a double whiskey coke in yer head, impressing all the punks and hard fuckers on the Attack From Mars and World Cup Soccer tables. 75¢ a play!
There is a bike rack on the patio so you can bring your bike inside rather than locking it up on the street.
Tasting TableSeptember 5, 2014Take a look at its extensive & impressive draft beer list—almost all of which is available by the pitcher. Fair warning: Drinking Total Domination IPA by the pitcher ($19) is dangerous, if delicious. Read more
Stephan GenschApril 5, 2017Awesome drinks (beer) and quite solid food options. The beer garden is just a great place to hang out on a Saturday (or any other).- Joshua HaftelJanuary 27, 2015Can't go wrong here. Large outdoor area, great beer selection, full bar, and burgers. Excellent place to hang out with large groups of friends.
OkCupid Daters' ChoiceJuly 13, 2017Zeitgeist was voted the Best Open Air Date Spot by OkCupid users in the first-ever Daters' Choice Awards! Tap Read more for additional date spot categories in San Francisco. #daterschoice Read more
Divey bar with an awesome patio out back and games indoors. Cash only. They sell pitchers of all of the numerous beers on tap.
Shagun AulakhNovember 22, 2014Great when your want a low-key dive bar, with an outdoor patio. One of the few bars that still have that vibe that SF used to have before the tech boom hit
AnissaAugust 23, 2016Lots of options on draft and I love that they clearly mark the Bay Area brewed beers! Hawk Hill was great if you like wheat beers!
John KhuuDecember 17, 2015CASH ONLY. NO PHOTOS/VIDEOS. Besides that, the guys are completely nice jerks. Hang by the bar and get to know them, they have so many hilarious things and stories to talk about.
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Last time we sat out back at this biker bar—cycles not hogs—we played a game of poker with strangers, met a guy who claimed to travel the country recording train whistles for Neil Young. Read more
SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012Here you'll find one of the best Bloody Marys in town, dozens of craft beers on tap, not to mention a darn good cheeseburger - all served up with no-nonsense attitude.
Jussi HäyhäApril 25, 2019A place where bikers, punks and other misfits used to hang. The music and decor is still. Otherwise taken over by Patagonia vest wearing techbros like rest of the City.
Missy BergenSeptember 3, 2012Can't go wrong here. So many good beers on tap, including Grand Cru and Damnation on tap. The locals rave about the bloodys. Sit outside in the bier garden.
Francesco PittarelloOctober 13, 2018My favorite bar in SF. Wide selection of beers and nice garden. Only downside is that the bar accepts only cash.
Dive bar with a surprisingly large (and crowded) back yard. Over a dozen taps, and grilled cheese sandwiches. A trendier crowd shows up on the weekends.
First time I was here, I stuffed my face with a cheeseburger and two grilled cheese sandwiches! Nice young crowd! Great prices! Good variety on tap!
If you find that you cross faded wrong, the ladies bathroom is a perfect place to bring a friend, lay your hues down and have her play with your hair till the room stops spinning.
Daniel SandovalSeptember 22, 2014Cool beer garden. It gets paaaaaaaacked on the weekends. Good spot to just grab a table and meet a bunch of new people.
JessicaAugust 15, 2011Chill here on a (unusually) warm day in the City.Large bench seating makes it easy to make new friends (who will probably buy you a beer).Free matches with naked bitches on 'em a plus.TAMALE LADY <3
Good for large groups if you can find a spot on the benches in the great outdoor space, and extensive draft beer selection.
Jennifer AndersonApril 8, 2014Spectacular beer selection, excellently priced. Come here! Oh, except, based on how packed it was at 5pm on a Monday, maybe don't come here if you like sitting down.
Marta TapperoSeptember 12, 2016Great outdoors place. Good drinks. Sometimes the music could be a little loud, but still fantastic place!
ShinaJune 20, 2015Best damn grilled cheese sandwiches. Cash only so come prepared. Great outdoor spot for large groups as well.
A SSeptember 15, 2016Best bar in SF. Just check it. Bring your ID and be chill, this place is not for arrogant and toplofty people.
Showtime NetworkJune 18, 2010A tucked away popular SF spot with outdoor seating, cheap drinks and pool tables; the perfect spot for a gorgeous afternoon with friends. - Whitney- LaurenNovember 11, 2013Awesome vibe, chill bike-friendly bar in the Mission. Gets PACKED on the weekends. Cash only, smoking allowed outside.
- Men's Health MagNovember 15, 2011Whatever cultures collided to bring a beer garden, a BBQ pit, and a biker bar together did it right. Snag a Spaten Premium Lager. It sticks with your ribs. And there will be a lot of ribs.
- Caro SchieferMarch 26, 2017Great location. No photos allowed :) huge beer selection some food is also available. Cool indoor garden.
Gabby GolubFebruary 24, 2015great beer list and enough open space for a huge group - music is loud, just the way it should be here!
This place is still as good as it was in 2014, when I came the first time. People are the same and the beer is still as tasty
Pedro Couto e SantosNovember 10, 2015Cool bar, some good music, but some wild variations as well, probably due to the juke box. Still, cool bar.- Men's Health MagSeptember 16, 2014Last time we sat out back at this biker bar—cycles not hogs—we played a game of poker with strangers. It was just another night at the picnic table-filled backyard at this Mission District stalwart.
