Got the kamikaze which was balanced with the alcohol and flavor, not too sweet. Loved the lychee mojito too! Tasted pretty good but also can still taste the alcohol. Music choices were nice. You can join and play your own song when you download the app! Our server was kind and quick. read more

Unprofessional. Lacks detail and quality service. If you are not a regular, good luck.

Love this place and our girl Shirley! She's always taking care of us. This place is always a go to. Live bands, local artists, juke box, dj's, karaoke night & yummy drinks. read more

Super chill, casual place for dinner + drinks. The service was great. Our server gave us tons of recommendations for the city and was overall very sweet and welcoming. Would definitely come back if we had time or are in the area again. The only feedback I'd really have is that it took a little while for our food to come out, but everything tasted amazing so we didn't really mind. Their drinks were also pretty good! read more

Good people, great ambience, great service, and love Shirley she's the best, all that is 5 stars! I love karaoke night! Well, just recently was there for speed dating and was hungry afterwards before karaoke. My first time ordering the lemon pepper chicken. Well, I got some over cooked basic chicken wings, no seasoning and cooked in old oil! Made me sick as a dog! Couple weeks back I ordered the garlic fries and they were good. We dropped the ball on those wings very disappointing! read more

My friend and I were looking for bars around the area after we finished dinner wanted to check out Sip Wine Bar, but instead stumbled across Bottom's Up which is the actually the ground level establishment, while Sip Wine Bar was upstairs. We decided to stay at Bottoms Up since there was a DJ. Their drink menu has a good variety of cocktails and shooters and the price was on the lower end compared to other bars in SF. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive place to drink that has a DJ, I would come here. There is a credit card minimum of around $15. Our bartender was very nice but there were only two people working that night. Luckily it wasn't crowded so we got our drinks very fast. The only reason I'm docking stars is because halfway through our time there, the music became SUPER loud. They turned up the volume so loud that my friend and I who were sitting next to each other at the bar, had to basically yell in order to hear each other. The space isn't that big so I don't think they needed the music to be SO loud, in my opinion. Our ears were ringing after we left. This bar is not fancy by any means, but it's not the worst place to get some cheap drinks/shots. Not sure if I would come back but it looked like other people that were there were having a good time despite the extremely loud music. read more

Came on a Friday night after dinner for a friend's birthday, mostly because a friend of a friend was about to DJ around 11pm. No cover, which is nice because this place is like a bar pretending to be a club. When we first walked in it seemed kind of busy since the entry way is small and crowded by tables. We waited for 45 mins just to order a drink and quickly realized that people were leaving and it was dead. They only had 2 bartenders for a Friday night, which probably contributed to the dead vibe and empty rooms. The music was okay (some hitters) but nobody was drunk enough to keep up with the songs that didn't slap. They also had like... Regular TV playing on the monitors? Basically like at a sports bar but it was weird, music/artist related stuff from back in the 2000s or 90s. Honestly I think if it weren't for my friend's birthday, I would've cut out and just gone somewhere else to drink. It's not even like it's especially cheap to drink here, or has good/quick service. read more

I live very close to Bottom's Up and never gave it a second thought, but a group of friends organized a happy hour here and I was surprised they have decent drinks! Reservations were made a couple days in advance for a group of 10. We sat in their balcony area, which was like a half-outdoor space. This worked out, as we could be outside for COVID safety, but we didn't have to be fully exposed to the wind. Our server was willing to charge separately or split up the bill however we wanted. Note there is a $15 minimum for using credit card, NOT including tips. * Cactus Juice ($10) - 4 stars This was surprisingly well-balanced though simple. It was not too strong and on the sweet side. read more

Very chill bar with reasonable prices - came here on a Tuesday night and they had a local event showcasing old school games which were fun to play and engage with others. I LOVED my chicken sandwich from here and would come again just for that. A simple fried chicken sandwich but the breading was top notch (think it's all handmade and maybe even double fried) and the chicken was so juicy. That in and of itself was worth it. Solid selection of beers so well worth the $20 trip for a beer and food. The only reason I docked it a star is the area seems kind of shady so it's not that hustling and bustling most of the time so good for a chill night and if you are going with a big group to have a relaxing time. read more

Bottom's Up - Fried Chicken Sandwich - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

Chalk this up to a learning experience. This place also functions as a club and the pricing shows on their bad version of a mixed drink. $13.75 for a small pour rye old fashioned. The bartender made it by pouring soda and bitters into the glass, then icing it, then using a measured cup for the rye. The worst part though? She had the audacity to squeez a quarter of orange directly into the drink. Disgusting. This might work for inexperienced twenty-something's, but not me. The decor is modern, and the establishment a bit on the dark side, the one thing I liked about the place. Liquor selection is limited, and beer is just your average oat sodas. I got the impression that the neighborhood is a tad sketchy, but I felt safe enough. Parking is not impossible. read more

Overly priced drinks that taste water downed! I tried to give this place another shot and I can't. The DJ was amazing but the drinks and the annoying service of the bartenders constantly coming around and picking up the empty glasses while we are in mid conversation annoying. I get you wanna keep the place nice and neat but damn like every 5 mins come on. Again watered down drinks which are super pricey no thanks! read more

went here for the first time last night while bar hopping for new years, it's a little bar but had a dj which was random, cool and fun especially on new years. there weren't many customers but there should be, don't listen to the negative reviews. i definitely recommend trying it out! read more

It's convenient for me because it is across the street, but the quality is iffy. Staff is kind of...

This place is trash. Not only did I wait hella long at the bar for a bartender to approach me but then when I finally ordered a drink they overcharge. I got a tall tequila soda with Casadores reposado. The bartender initially said $11.95 which is already high for a bar this caliber to be charging for a drink like this. Then she hands me back six bucks to which I reply "I thought you said it was $11.95." The bartender ignores me and just turns around; no eye contact. They rude, they overcharge, and they don't give proper change. Don't know why I still tipped but this will be the very last time I go here. Go across the street to Rocks Den. It's a better spot by far. read more

It beats the airport if it was free. Seating is hard, the food is buffet quality, the whole lounge is cold instead of different areas with different temperatures. The staff has a combined IQ of 80! It looks fancy but I have sat in many hotel lobbies that beat this by a mile. If you want to sit up straight and work on your laptop in peace and quite ... then it's ok. read more

Dive Bar. Gresel music (juke box). Great bartenders. Just keep rubbing them. They are gems. Great customers. They already shine when they enter. No kitchen, but food can be delivered if the price is right Good atmosphere. See you there! read more

Great local bar, great people, great drinks, great food. Even better owner. Irish trash can all the way!

Best place in the mission to come and chill, the bartender Panda is very attentive, also has great recommendations for snacks and drinks ya must try a galvatron shot hahahaha. Also the best part is the owner Shirley always makes sure you are good, and I like how her bar doesn't have that sticky floor feel it's always clean sometime I forget I'm in a bar. I never have an empty glass when I'm here to watch the games best part is they put on the hockey game yeeeeeee. Definitely recommend the wings and the sour soup hella bomb. read more

Not really into the type of crowd but it's my favorite neighborhood bar in The City. Been knowing Shirley since college. Always looking to improve the venue. She really takes charge knows the neighborhood competition and what her customers like . Best Chicken Wings in the "E". It's one of the last places in the neighborhood still left. read more

Bottoms up, bottoms up, up, every single cup Got a couple bottles, but a couple ain't enough Bottoms up, bottoms up, up, throw your hands up Tell security we 'bout to tear this club up With no live Dj on a weekday, you have a jukebox that charges $1 for 2 songs, a modern venue and a small setting. Not the best location, but close to home for others. Food is available from 6p-10p, flat screen tv's to watch the game. Pay a visit on a weekday its dead, come on a weekend its packed. I happened to come on a Thursday night to watch some football & have some cocktails-status: dead LOL but thats okay because I was here to catch up with a friend. The food we ordered was salty & oily-but what can you expect, your at a bar. Will I be back? umm so call me maybe.... read more

I'm writing this review, so you don't have to later. Every now and then you just have to say no thanks. I can see how some people may like this place, but being a girl who loves good times and good cocktails - the Bottom's Up just didn't do it for me. On the night I went, the place was a little packed. No cover, but its no "ultra lounge" - it's a bar that looks like a club. A few things I noticed: * My Manhattan was expensive, but it was very poorly made. I'm not sure how you can screw it up if you use quality booze. It was so bad, I had to ask what it was after taking a sip. * Bathrooms so dirty, I didn't want to hang my purse up besides use them. Why are some chicks so messy? * Drunk hoochies knocked over the Christmas tree that was on the dance floor. Tis the season!! * Police presence towards the end of the night looking for someone. They were not there to dance, after they showed up - I just wanted to leave. That's not my scene. Luckily the location is convenient to catching cabs, public transportation and such. I was on my way, ready to forget that last stop of the night - until I realized that we all come across a "Meh" spot and they need to be reviewed too. read more

Bottoms up, bottoms up, up, every single cup... In Trey Songz' Bottoms Up song, he says, he gots a couple of bottles but a couple ain't enough. In our case, a couple of drinks at Happy Hour wasn't enough so after dinner last Wednesday, my friends and I ended up at Bottom's Up. Bottom's Up is an Asian Bar that's located in the unassuming Excelsior. Unlike the neighborhood Asian bars in the Sunset and Richmond that are very divey, Bottom's Up is modern, chic and a bar/lounge that would imagine be located in SoMa. It's sports bar meets ultra-lounge with leather booths, fluorescent lighting and multiple flat screen TVs. PROS *Spacious, clean and modern with outdoor front patio *A plethora of specialty cocktail choices *Reasonable drink prices (~$7 for top shelf liquor shots, specialty cocktails are ~$9-$10) *Food is available *Crowd is more "mixed" than Asian Invasion to the max CONS *$20 minimum for CC's *Jukebox ($1 for 2 songs). NO music if no one puts money in the jukebox. WHACKED! *Sketchy area with tons of cops roaming around Although they have a DJ spinning on the weekends, it's not a place I would spend my Friday or Saturday nights (too low-key and the crowd is a little too hood for me). I hear they have an awesome Happy Hour Deal: 2 drinks and an appetizer for $10 though so I'll definitely check that out! Bottoms Up! read more

Good drinks and great atmosphere. Very friendly staff that is always welcoming and attentive.

Drinks are reasonably priced...strong too! During happy hour beers are $3 until 8 pm. Three flat screens to watch the game, juke box (decent selection) and dj's Fri & Sat nights. They have events here and there too. They have bar food (chicken wings, spring rolls). You can park at the BofA lot (off of Ocean St) or street parking. There's a lounge area right when you walk and is separated by glass windows from the actual bar area. Shirley, the manager, is friendly and also one of the bartenders, Lily (thanks for making my snake bite the way i like it) =P Mexican food a block down when you get the munchies! The crowd is mainly in their 20's to early 30's. They do check id at the door on Fri & Sat. Cheers! read more

I once managed to spend all the cash in my wallet while having a tab open. They have awesome lychee cocktails and the last time they were there they had $5 shots for all their top shelf alcohol. I think it was top shelf. I don't know my alcohol. Whatever shelf Belvedere is on. Shirley is the best bar owner I've ever met and while I once laughed at Olivia Vanessa R's review "and my friends are always here...for some reason............" HER FRIENDS REALLY ARE ALWAYS HERE. Every single time I've been here, I've ran into one of her friends. Dafuq. read more

This place has just about all the requirements I need in a club/lounge. - no cover - no dress code - no lines - large, long bar - dance floor - great djs - lots of seating and tables - decently priced drinks - right next to PLENTY of restaurants that are open late Some things about this place that I do not like however ... - needs more bathroom stalls (and they always run out of seat covers & toilet paper before the night is over, they should just leave extras in there) - lack of bartenders (i know that you'll have to split your tips if you have more people, but cmon ... think of what's best for the people.) - the $25 credit card minimum - can't keep your tab open (so unless you buy rounds or buy a BUNCH of drinks for yourself, then I suggest bringing cash) None-the-less this place is great and I'm sure that if it was somewhere closer to the downtown area that it would be packed every single night. read more

update: $28 gets you a Grey Goose tonic, a Belvedere tonic, a Remy & Coke and a Stella. Open-tabs only until 10pm. Minimum $20 on a CC-charge. Finally got a chance to hit Bottom's Up...wait, that didn't sound right. Finally got a chance to try Bottom's Up...wait, that didn't sound right either. Finally got a chance to go into Bottom's Up...wait, that didn't sound right neither! Finally got a chance to go visit the bar at 4704 Mission Street. Phew! From the few times driving by, I've always thought it was a strip club until yelp-friend ABBY A. did a review on it. This is more of a bar/lounge/karaoke atmosphere, and definitely not divy IMO. On a Tuesday night, it was not crowded at 11pm, and there were more smokers "outdoor-seating" chillin' than were people inside. But, $9 for a Ketel One tonic, and same for a cranberry vodka tonic? Whoa! So will return, of course, but more likely for happy hours. The TVs had SportsCenter on at the time. read more

"Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you." I better watch out since I just gave a pie in the face to the 2 people who organized an entire fundraiser for me from start to finish. I'm a trouble making instigator. They got even ... but it was so worth it. While this place is sort of in the middle of no where .... and the store front next door that looked like a car drove into it scared me somewhat, the interior was classy and cool. The outdoor patio was very nice and the entire establishment as well as it's regular patrons, owners and staff were all super nice and accommodating to our rowdy Thursday night group. The drinks were made fast with a full bar and the food we had was also pretty tasty. Next time though, they need to not run out of the blue moon by 7:30. Next time though, I need to not start drinking at 6:00 and taking the name of the bar quite so literally. read more

Love this place: In a nutshell, reasonable drink prices, strong drinks, cute/friendly/knowledgable female bartenders, great interior & outdoor patio, great calamari, always good music & a nice owner Credit card minmum is $25....no one likes a minimum, but c'mon $25 minimum is WAYYYYYYYYYY easy to meet. Had a girls' night here recently and had a great time-we sure did keep the rounds coming and def spend $$$. The owner comp'ed a round ($50 worth) and was verrrrrrrry great about it-she didn't have to. check it out. great times read more

SHIRLEY, you came to me in my time of need when my pride and my liveliness was on the line. You came. And you showed me kindness and a maternal love that made me reborn. My mother neglected me and she fulfilled that spot. Shirley is my reason why, come here! You will be changed, you will experience gratitude. You will know the comfort of wearing a sweatshirt to work. You will know the enjoyment of drinking a peach cocktail. You will feel true love and you will feel like you matter. Thank you Shirley and Linda, you matter! Also I locked myself in the bathroom and I didn't even care because I knew Shirley would come get me! read more

I'm one of the regulars for the past 10 years. This place just amazes me how well developed and accommodating it has been for the customers. The bartenders are a HUGE factor why I come here. They make sure everyone is pleased and satisfied with food and drinks in their hands. The new wine bar is a creation that caters to many crowds. I'm happy to be able to call this place a family and friends bar. I highly recommend trying this place if you have never been before. read more
