    Biere de Mechante 8.3%ABV ($10/14oz)
    John D.

    Smear the Beer Gastropub and highly-awarded seven barrel brewery located in Union Square that's been in operation since 2014. We needed to kill time between a play and dinner reservations, so we decided to pop in to try a few of their oat sodas. The Good: *Great selection of beers; everything from German lagers to IPAs and even darker beers, like Porters, which are becoming somewhat rare at microbreweries. *Food menu is definitely on-point for a gastropub. Didn't partake, as we had reservations elsewhere, but I'd definitely come back to try. The Meh: *Service was friendly, but a bit clumsy. I'm not sure what happened, we were told to order thru the QR code, which I did, only for the server to come and try and take our order. I informed her I ordered via the QR and somehow she ends up canceling it and then it turned into a whole kerfuffle. All that for two beers and a soda. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *I like the ethos of this place and the idea behind it should be amazing but eh... Something about it was sorta strange and gave me weird shitty dive bar feel, as opposed to a hipster gastropub that I was anticipating. Maybe it's the weird purple lighting? I dunno. *As with all things SF, parking will always be an issue. There's paid street parking (if you can find any) and parking garages around the area. The Ugly: *Someone in the back was clearly medicating their, ahem, glaucoma. Not to sound like a square, because I'm really not. Cuz your boy gets down with the green, if you smell what I'm smoking, but maybe not at work. And definitely not where the customers will get a contact high. Conclusion: Great beers, but the rest I'm not so sure about.

    In the downtown area. Nice atmosphere with bar and regular seating. Cool staff. The fries were hit but chicken not the hottest but both had good taste and not a long wait. Drinks from the bar were good. Also has tv's at the bar.

    Came in before heading to a concert nearby. The ambiance of this place is great, love the decor. Ordered one beer each with my husband and shared the fish and chips. Food is a bit pricey ngl, but it was delicious. Would like to come back and try more beer.

    I loved that Bartlett hall let you add avocado to your cesear salad and the portion was quite large and filling! Our server though looked like he didn't want to be there which did it make it a little awkward as a customer... Pub with long tables to easily sit large groups or there's a cozy fireplace in the entrance for small intimate groups.

    Really bad service and the bartender waited on his friends who came in 12 minutes after us. We sat and waited to order a beer and he gave them theirs first. It was only after I rolled my eyes that he asked for our order We left without ordering. Forget that place is my advice

    So the place it's spacious and the ambiance is great. The beer prices aren't all that bad either. I didn't stay long only because I came for a sour that was posted online but the menu didn't have it when I arrived. I might come back another time but tonight I'm not vibing to the beer selection

    Food: 4/5 Enjoy the HH dishes. The Cajun style shrimp with garlic bread was tasty. The shrimp were also a nice size. The chicken wings were ok, nothing to rave about. The drinks were delicious! Cold, somewhat strong, nice start to and Saturday around 3pm. Service: 3/5 The staff was quick and attentive when available. Because the items were ordered through the app, it takes away the interaction with the servers, so sometimes things might take a bit longer if there's a special request. Ambiance: 4/5 Very nice, warm fireplace and the decore has a very nice American rustic feel. Everything seems very clean and updated. The seats are comfortable at the high top seating. Bar looks great!

    The server stopped by and paused her phone call at the table to greet us. She came back 5 minutes later, still talking on the phone, to take our order. The music was cranked up so loud we could barely hear her. Another customer shot across the room to pay as seems to have been waiting a long time. We ordered and she went back on the phone and worked a laptop sitting on the counter. She poured my beer and left it sitting there for a solid 10 minutes while she played on the phone and laptop. We tried to flag her down but she didn't notice us. Since we were approaching 15 minutes of my beer sitting there and nothing else was moving in our direction, we left. The loud music was very overwhelming and the inattentive service was distracting. Maybe their porter is good. I wouldn't know, and I was looking forward to it. The clocks are cool.

    Is it kid friendly?

    I'd say so-so. The food options are limited and the vibe is very sports bar. But a kid won't be unwelcome.

    Wanting to watch NBA. Will there be a projector? I prefer it on a large screen.

    Yes! We have a large screen projector as well as multiple TV's throughout the space.

    Do I need a reservation to eat/drink at night? Or is it easy to get a table?

    It’s usually easy to get a table but we always recommend making a reservation. You can call us at 415.433.4332 and speak to our host.

    Can kids eat here?

    Yep. Came for a late breakfast with my 3 little kids. No "kids menu" so I split an adult plate between the older two and shared mine with the 3 year old.

What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking. On our way back down to SoCal my brother is still raving about the burgers, this is a MUST-STOP the next time we come up to San Francisco!!

I stopped by around 4:30 p.m. and there were a few tables where I saw folks finishing up their work day on their laptops with a beer. It's neither overly crowded, nor overly loud, which is perfect for getting work done. Since it was the World Cup and many guests would be camping out for the entire match, table service has a per person minimum spend of $25. This is a really a non-issue because a cocktail is around $15, so two drinks, or one drink with some food, will easily hit this minimum. My wife and I shared crispy pork schnitzel ($17) and an order of their deviled eggs ($12). The deviled eggs were nicely seasoned and included a small salad shrimp on top for some variety. The pork schnitzel was perfectly fried and the potatoes in the included side-salad was well-cooked and not over dressed. I would recommend enjoying the schnitzel with some mustard. Both drinks that I ordered -- an Old Fashioned and a Boulvardier, were well prepared. No notes here. Service here was top notch. Throughout our stay, our server checked up on us multiple times and we never had to wait long to place another order for drinks. Tipping options on the receipt include pre-calculated 18%, 20%, and 22% options (on top of the 5% SF Mandate). Last but not least, the restaurant had clean bathrooms and a bunch of large TV screens on every wall. If you're looking to watch a sports match, Sam's Tavern is the place to go!
