And then there was one... After the kitchen fire that shut down Liverpool Lil a couple of years ago, The Brazen Head is the last place in the city that serves food until 2am with the kind of ambiance that makes you feel like you truly belong in this crazy city of ours. This place has been around for decades, and its location is such that zero tourists go here, all patrons are basically San Franciscans. The menu is quite extensive, we shared the escargot, she had the filet, I had the shrimp scampi. Delicious food in a great, intimate and cozy ambiance. Great bar, and they can shake a phenomenal vodka martini. The service is attentive and friendly. Only draw back is parking. No credit cards, cash or debit cards only. read more

I love this place and have been dining here for over 20 years. Don't bother with their signature dish, "Chicken Marsala". It was delicious just a year ago, but they have changed it to a bone-in leg and you will leave hungry. Please bring back your good piece of chicken breast. No one wants to be served a chicken bone. The tomato and burrata salad should not be served year round. I was told the "heirloom tomatoes are amazing", but this was not the case. A tasteless green tomato and really bad. We left the tomatoes on the plate while nibbling on the burrata and crackers that were served with the dish. Really hate writing this review, but thoroughly disappointed tonight. . . read more

Saturday Date Night: February 26, 2011 @ 6:30 PM Entering The Brazen Head is like entering Harry Potter's world. To me it resembled The Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, and I almost expected Hagrid to burst in through the door anyminute; and for the portraits on the wall to start talking to one another. On a more mature level, The Brazen Head is speakeasy-ish, intimate and romantic. It is very dark, mysterious with an air of old-world charm to it. It is nestled among the residential part and few blocks away from the upscale shopping strip of the Marina district. It was difficult to get a good picture without using the flash because it was very dark. Here's a vitual tour of The Brazen Head's interior.(Courtesy VR National Virtual Tours): http://tours.digispin.com/?sid=56369 A crest on the door is the only tell-tale sign that you have arrived. The building is unmarked. The restaurant is really small and divided into two sections: bar and dining area. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0PLv5h5eRTG6fuWLpUmf4A?select=MGQ42ZKhuXob7VtcMZRqwA The place was only lit by a table lamp on each table. You could barely see the people around you. Dark but not perfect enough for clandestine affairs--so do not get any ideas! The place was loud and the tables were placed so close together. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0PLv5h5eRTG6fuWLpUmf4A?select=pUyKw-EsGoYKYUuH_W7iLw The bar was packed more than the dining area. The place was classy but had more of a down to earth feel to it. The patrons at this restaurant/bar are older (30's to 60's), seemed more mature and sophisticated. The servers were friendly and very efficient. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0PLv5h5eRTG6fuWLpUmf4A?select=oxc2PlwM6EAGc2CM26HHtA We saw people having drinks and ordering few appetizers than eating dinner. Some just had few rounds of cocktails and/or lingering around over few bottles of wine. My fiance and I went for dinner. DARK AND STORMY: I chose this because the room was dark. :) It had rum and ginger, I think. All I remember was that it was not sweet and strong. Well-made and I liked it! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0PLv5h5eRTG6fuWLpUmf4A?select=4qi9kLm0ckN38NcJX7HaHw 1/2 DZ CHILLED OYSTERS $12: Very sweet and fresh. The only complaint I have is they gave us one oyster that almost had no meat in it. They could have discarded that one. We felt like they gypped us one $2 oyster. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0PLv5h5eRTG6fuWLpUmf4A?select=R_gxP-tb9yOjrp_Ub_WBYg BONELESS RIBEYE STEAK $29: 14oz. Certified Angus Beef, Herb Beurre Compose. My guy was very happy with his dish, and he is very picky when it comes to his steak. He enjoyed every bit and said the meat was tender and flavorful. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0PLv5h5eRTG6fuWLpUmf4A?select=J86t2YPzpbidOFnpzmPOOw COLOSSAL PRAWN SCAMPI $19: Sauteed lemon, white wine and cream. Oh so delicious! 4 big plump prawns in nice well-balanced sauce. I wish there were 6 prawns instead of 4 then it would have been a perfect portion for me. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0PLv5h5eRTG6fuWLpUmf4A?select=73cz5XlNtpDOZx3pZr0IHA CHEESE CAKE: It was okay and a good way to end a wonderful dinner! Tab: About $90 including 20 % tip and Diet Coke. PARKING: Very difficult but we found parking after driving around the block twice MIDNIGHT NOSH: Open until 1 am. Perfect for a romantic late night dinner and/or for a nightcap before kissing your honey good nite! OVERALL: A sweet neighborhood spot. A great place to grab a drink or two or even have dinner after a day of shopping at the Marina. Unique and classy ambiance. Perfect for a fun and romantic dinner. If we are in the area, we will definitely return. . read more

Sorry Brazen Head but I am not a fan. The hour+ wait to get a table wasn't a lot of fun and there is no place to stand when the bar is full. We ordered the garlic/camembert appetizer which was good but nothing special (especially the bread which was just 5-6 pieces, not warmed or toasted, just sliced cold sourdough). The free French bread side was nice but just 4 small pieces for teh 4 of us and there was no offer of a refill. I ordered the veal and it soooo so-so. The sauce carried all the flavor, not the meat, and the meat was tough (isn't veal supposed to be super tender?). The spinach was FANTASTIC. The baked potato was good but they only give you one chunk of butter; was there a butter shortage? why not make more available for the table? A friend ordered the hamburger and he said it was good. The patty looked huge. The bun however looked like it came straight out of the plastic bag sad wrinkley top included (again no toasting). The other 2 at our table said absolutely nothing about their meals. Not "this is good!' or "yum!" but nothing. Which to me means they didn't enjoy their meals (prime rib and filet mignon) any more than I enjoyed my meal. Pluses: the restaurant is super darling and the staff was nice. But we won't be back. read more

Hell, what can I say- if you're looking for a classic steakhouse experience, this IS your spot! Everything from the Tudor era English wall decor to the non-descript location to the soft lighting and great waiter, bar and greeter service is designed to reflect an intimate, friendly and breezy atmosphere. The bar has a very Cow Hollow locals feel to it, and very casual. It is purposely built to be a small space restaurant, and you can practically imagine wiseguys in sharkskin suits in the '80s smoking cigars and sucking down martinis at a corner table in the back. Apart from the ambience factor, the steaks are pretty darn excellent, and everyone has to try that french onion soup at least once. This place literally screams successful date night ; ). read more

Sunday nights after 11pm leaves low choices for good food. After seeing a shoe we needed to get sustenance. An old co worker had told me about this place years ago. So we decided we'd hut it up. Place is super dimly lit and the bar is full even at 11.30pm. New York pepper corn steak and beef ravioli picata with garlic bread hit the spot. As we were eating a few of the staff from RN74 came in for their post shift eats and i recognized one formerly from Saison. Small world. If it's good for industry folks it's good for me read more

The restaurant without a sign... way before it became the thing to be a restaurant without a sign. WAY before. It's tiny. It's on the corner. If you blink, you'll miss it. It's dimly lit, romantic, & charming in a storybook way. Not a fairytale way, but rather a Dashiell Hammett novel way. The kind of joint your favorite English or American poet would have surely hung out in. The menu is about bistro fare. Steak & fries. Salmon. French onion soup. The Brazen Burger. All very good, but the star is the steak. For a quintessential BH experience, order a martini at the bar. Or a negroni. Or a Manhattan. Basically, anything masculine, old school, & that would look great being sipped by Humphrey Bogart. It is tiny. Did I mention that? The dining room feels a bit like you're in a train car. It's very cool. You can skip dessert. That's what the cocktail was for. A beloved SF institution. 4 stars. read more

I think every person should live in a city for at least a few years when they're young. One of the most memorable and formative times of my life was when I lived in San Francisco in the '90s, and one of my favorite places during that epic era--and today--is the Brazen Head. It almost feels like a secret club; no sign outside, no cheesy barker at the door, no billboards on Lombard coaxing tourists in. I only found out about this place because a friend of mine lived nearby and she stumbled upon it while exploring her neighborhood for a place to get a drink/meal without being surrounded by the Marina tools (yes, they were around 25 years ago too). The atmosphere is dim, relaxing, and old school. The food is great; traditional/old school food. I've always loved to share the French onion soup and the Caesar salad, followed by the pepper steak or the pork loin. But you can order anything and never go wrong. Prices are very reasonable too. And the drinks are great; this is not a place you'll find a mixologist with a bushy beard, handlebar mustache and eyeglasses that make a statement. This is where I cultivated my love of the martini (back when Eddie--who now owns the place--was tending bar and made the best martini I've ever had). I loved his martinis so much I found an overstock restaurant shop and bought the exact same martini glasses in hopes it would impart something magical into my homemade martinis. I often catch myself sounding like a senior citizen when I bemoan all of my old haunts that have disappeared in the last 25 years, but it's comforting to know that the Brazen Head is still here, hasn't changed much, and is still a fantastic experience. I've recommended this place to dozens of people who have never heard of it, but now consider themselves part of the secret club. read more

Hmmmm, what do I say that hasn't been said before about this place??? Dark: Check. Little lamp on each table: Check. Small Space: Check. Cool little bar: Check. Hidden treasure: Check. Butt cheeks on the window: UNCHECK Short but sweet: 5-6 times I have been here, love the joint. The 2nd time I was here, I went with 4 buddies, my nephew and his friend. Nephew and friend ~21 at the time. We hang at the bar, have a few drinks - my nephew and friend proceed to have two long islands and a beer. They are hammered before we even sit down. So we get a table, the friend is being a goof and he and my nephew decide to go to the car for something. We are sitting next to the window to the exterior, my back is to the window. One of my buddies say "oh christ, what is that fool doing??" I turn around and I am staring right at his butthole on the glass. :| Of course, others beside our table saw it, and, while my nephew and friend are walking back in, our escargot arrives. I slap a snail on the garlic-type bread they give, and, the host comes over and promptly throws us all out with me leaving my tasty little helix pomatia on the table. I went back last night and the host didn't remember me - we had a great time. Manhattan, caesar and pepper steak. Need I say more? Clip it, zip it and keep the eye in the tousers there chief!

Not wanting to default to Izzy's (one of my favorite steakhouses) for my birthday dinner, I decided to try The Brazen Head. This place is easily missed if you do not know its exact location. No visible signs outside. Thank goodness for the GPS. The inside is tiny, hence, no reservations. First come first served basis, and seated only with your whole party present. Most of the tables only seat 4 people, with perhaps 1 or 2 tables for party of 6. So definitely not good for bigger groups. The atmosphere is somewhat strange to me. It is very dark inside. The only source of lighting in the dining area is the orange glows from dim table lamps. I'm used to small, dark places being intimate. But this is not the case at all. So noisy. For appetizer, we ordered crab cakes and apple&pear salad. The crab cakes were overcooked and bland. Dipping it into the mayonnaise made it a bit more enjoyable. The salad on the other hand, delicious! Tossed in light vinaigrette and topped with gorgonzola, apples & pears. Yum! I was eyeing the New York steak on the menu, but my sister wanted it instead. So I opted for the ribeye. Here are my thoughts about the 4 entrees my family ordered: 1) Boneless ribeye steak. Plain. The herb butter did not help with the lack of flavor. Also, I had asked for medium rare but it seemed slightly overcooked. 2) New York steak. While I enjoyed this one more out of the 2 steaks, I was not very impressed. The pepper sauce was delicious, however, the steak itself also lacked flavor. 3) Veal picatta. Delicious! Served with a lemon&caper sauce. So tender and beautifully cooked. 4) Salmon filet. Also delicious! Lightly seasoned with a great crispy crust outside, moist and juicy inside. Yum Yum! For my birthday dessert, I had a slice of chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. The chocolate cake was rich&moist but not too sweet. Eating it with the ice cream was like heaven! All in all, it was a great dinner. A bit disappointed about the steaks. I had chosen this place based on the raving reviews about the steaks. Steaks aside, food was delicious. Our waitress was great. The manager was awesome. We all left stuffed&happy! =D read more

It was 'girls night out' and we wanted steak. My friends and I like trendy restaurants, but this night, we weren't in the mood for small, 'styled' dishes. After reading though reviews for restaurants in the Marina, I decided that we try the Brazen Head. Our cab driver passed the restaurant up the first time. Brazen Head is a small, unmarked, and on the corner (look for the green awning). Inside, it is dimly lit, lined with small, wooden tables/chairs, and a decent size bar. First impression: perfect for a romantic dinner! The restaurant wasn't obnoxiously loud and it was super charming. We were seated within 10 minutes. ** Note: Brazen Head does not take reservations and DOES get busy! The two of us went with prime rib, cooked medium rare. The portions were good sized and cooked to perfection. The horseradish has an awesome KICK to it, which seems to be rare these days. We were VERY content. I can't lie - the thought crossed our minds to order and share a second serving. Don't judge; we're girls with appetites!!!!!! For dessert, we went with the gluten-free chocolate mousse cake... I forgot the actual name, but regardless it was ridiculous!!!! Chocolate heaven, for absolute sure. The bill was extremely reasonable. The service was impeccable. The place was uber cute. I can't wait to return!!!!! (+) Great ambiance with food to match (+) Open until 1 am! (-)Cash and debit cards ONLY. No credit cards accepted. read more

It's late, around 11:30 pm. I'm hungry but I don't want fast food. I want some good fresh quality food! Where am I going to get that at this hour?? Enter, the Brazen Head! A late night bar and restaurant located in the Marina district. I walk in, and there's a host who I must say was very polite and welcoming. A good start already. He tells me it will be about 15 20 min to be seated. He tells me to have a seat at the bar, relax and he will get me once a table is free. It's not a big restaurant. It's small but with lots of character. It's like an old English pub. The lights are low. Dark with ambient lighting. The servers are dressed in black and white. An elegant feel to the restaurant. I'm seated to my table after only a 10 min wait. I look at the menu and my mouth is just salivating! There's just so many good looking items to choose from! Aged angus prime rib, pepper steak in red wine sauce, beef stroganoff, I'm giddy with all the great items to choose from! I see a soup on the menu that caught my eye. French onion gratinee. OMG the best French onion soup I've ever had! Aged gruyere cheese and mozzarella cover the soup. The cheese is melted. It's oozing in to the soup. It had a distinct flavor to it. It's rich and sweet. The onion soup is made even better once combined with the melting hot cheese. I also order the beef stroganoff as it is a special that night. Sooo good! the pasta tastes fresh and homemade. The beef is tender. The onion mushroom sauce is creamy and smooth. One of the better stroganoffs I've eaten. The service is also great. Very prompt with taking plates away, refilling water, and always checking up on me to see if I need anything. Great service, great food, great place! By far one of my favorite late night spots! There's not too many late night spots that serve great quality homemade fresh food. I sure am glad the Brazen Head is one of them. Can't wait to go back and try the other dishes on the menu! read more

I really loved our whole Brazen Head experience (except for one part, but that's at the tail end) --- from the wonderfully friendly host (who was kind enough to tell us the wait time over the phone) to him seating us 20 minutes later when we arrived and to our delightful server. The ambiance is extremely cozy and you do feel as though you are spending a rainy evening in an English pub, no doubt. While the atmosphere is loud, surprisingly, we were able to have a very intimate conversation across our table with no extras "HUHs" and "SAY THAT AGAINs". The food was great - I had the NY strip with veggies and my date had the veal piccatta (loved it). Nice wine menu and even better dessert menu but unfortunately we had to skip that part --- but we won't next time. Now for the bad: it is such an extreme buzz kill that after the coziest two hours and as we're now locked in to a very intimate conversation, we chose the "debit" feature (no credit cards) and were bombarded with that silly machine on our table while they rang up their bill and typed in the tip that we had to say verbally (and then we had to wait for the darned receipt to print). UGH. We will do the cash option next time! read more

The apps were excellent! We got the smoked salmon sliders and the 100 layer, both of which were well-designed and very tasty. Our waiter was excellent.

I want to try their Shepherd's Pie next time, and my husband wants to get the bangers and mash. He was hoping they had a scotch egg, but that's the one item not on the menu. Oh, and some sticky toffee pudding would be awesome! The only downside was a large party of eight people with screaming children. We can't seem to escape that in restaurants lately--even in a pub.

I hate leaving negative reviews, but my experience with the owner of this bar was so upsetting that…read moreI feel compelled to share it. I'm currently living in San Francisco for six weeks while caring for my father, who is recovering from a double lung transplant at UCSF. It's been an emotionally exhausting time, and I was excited to find a neighborhood bar within walking distance where I could occasionally relax and decompress. I first discovered this bar after a trip to Trader Joe's. During that visit, the bartenders, especially Chris, and the rest of the staff were welcoming, friendly, attentive, and wonderful. Based on that experience, I was looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, my interactions with the owner have been the complete opposite. On my second visit, the owner repeatedly ignored me while I was trying to order. When he noticed my service dog, who was leashed, quietly sitting beside me, and causing absolutely no disruption, he loudly yelled across a crowded bar, "Get your dog out of here." I calmly explained that he is a service dog. The owner immediately rolled his eyes and demanded to know what service my dog provides. Because I did not feel comfortable disclosing personal medical information to a room full of strangers, I asked if I could privately show documentation instead. He became increasingly hostile, telling me that he "knew his rights" and that I "didn't know anything," while continuing to demand an explanation. Feeling embarrassed and cornered, I reluctantly answered his question. He rolled his eyes again and asked, "What do you want?" When I ordered a Corona, he responded by pointing his finger in my face and saying, "You mean you want a Corona PLEASE." He refused to serve me unless I repeated the order exactly as he demanded. I was shocked, humiliated, and left the bar in tears. Several patrons nearby apologized to me and expressed how uncomfortable they were witnessing the interaction. A few days later, I decided to give the bar a second chance and brought my partner with me. My partner was seated with my service dog while I walked to the bar to order. The owner immediately recognized me and once again said, "Get your dog out." I calmly reminded him that we had already had this conversation and that I had previously explained my dog's service role. He responded by asking whether I was providing a service to the dog or whether the dog was providing a service to me. After I again explained the situation, he asked what I wanted to order. I ordered two dirty gin martinis, and before I could even finish speaking, he began walking away. When he returned with the check, I asked him to keep the tab open. He again corrected me and said I needed to say, "Keep it open PLEASE." At that point, I asked why he seemed to treat me this way every time I came in. His response was, "Piss off. Finish your martini and you're never allowed back here again. Get out." Once again, I left in tears. Once again, nearby patrons appeared shocked by the way I was being treated. I've worked in professional environments my entire career and strive to treat everyone with kindness, patience, and respect. I was never rude, disruptive, or confrontational. I simply wanted to enjoy a drink at a neighborhood bar while accompanied by my service dog. The bartenders and staff were wonderful. My experience with the owner, however, was one of the most humiliating and hostile customer service experiences I have ever had.

You'll want to bite into them carefully, unless you're like my husband and decide to pop the whole thing into your mouth at once. Another surprise favorite was the dan dan noodles. We loved that the noodles were served warm. Most versions we've had elsewhere are closer to room temperature, so this was a very nice surprise. Once mixed together, the dish was so flavorful. Our food arrived quickly, but midway through the meal we realized we had forgotten to order a vegetable dish. We added the stir-fried eggplant which unfortunately seemed to throw off the timing a bit and didn't arrive until near the end of our meal. By then, we were already stuffed, and the eggplant was a little too salty on its own. I think it would have paired much better with rice or noodles. Lesson learned for next time! We visited on a Thursday evening and were lucky enough to find street parking shortly after 6 p.m. We were seated immediately, but a line started forming not long after. So definitely come early!

These days, you can have almost anything delivered as long as you're willing to pay for it. Still, I was honestly surprised (shocked, even) to discover I could order prime rib for delivery. To me, that's always been a "special outing" kind of dish--something you savor at a steakhouse, not in your pajamas at home. Recently, after a packed day, we had zero energy to go anywhere. Naturally, yours truly was craving prime rib, baked potato, and all the classic fixings. On a whim, I typed "prime rib" into the delivery app--and lo and behold, Brazen Head popped up! We've never been there, but it's been on our "must-try" list for a while. What better way to test it out than right then and there? The order arrived in a classy brown handled bag with Brazen Head's logo on the front. Inside: a generous serving of prime rib, a baked potato, creamy spinach, and a rich au jus. They also included bread, cheese, baked potato toppings, and sour cream. (I honestly can't remember if horseradish was included--but it would've been a nice touch.)Taste-wise, the prime rib was just a bit too salty for our liking, but otherwise the whole meal was delicious. We made a quick salad to round things out, and that was dinner--no driving, no reservations, just a cozy night in with restaurant-level comfort food. Tip: If you're in the mood for a steakhouse experience without leaving your couch, check if your favorite spot delivers--you might be surprised! read more

Apparently if San Francisco if you don't have at least three tattoos, smoke and/or are a regular at Brazen Head then you just aren't cool. Well my friends, I have applied tattoos from boxes of Cracker Jack onto my biceps, I've also been known to suck on biscotti and pretend they are cigars and last but not least I can fool the staff at Brazen Head into thinking I am one of their coveted regulars. My biggest beef with the City by the Bay is that late night dining options are in short supply. And for someone like myself who prefers to dine with Vampires this can really suck. But having friends who know where to go for that midnight NY strip steak is worth it's weight in gold. Brazen Head reminds me of Park Chow but with a dark seedy and edgy side. It's San Francisco cool even without trying. The restaurant has a comfort feel ala "Cheers". No fancy modern seating designed by some famous Scandinavian, no amouse bouche presented with tentacles from some endangered rare octopus, no sommelier will approach your table and try and up sell you a bottle that you really don't want. What you will get is an awesome neighborhood eatery that serves up quality food and with a bartender that will craft the best martini ever. Even you are not a regular, you will still feel welcomed. The servers know the menu inside and out and won't make fun of you for looking like a doof or point fingers at your mismatched dress socks. read more

It just so happened I was sitting at the other end of the table and maybe you didn't notice but he is my BOYFRIEND. Goddamnit, why did you have to be so nice? The nicest waitress in San Francisco just happens to be a beautiful blonde potential boyfriend stealer. She's also very good at what she does.

We popped into the Brazen Head last night and had such a memorable dining experience. We decided to try their lobster ravioli and French onion soup, and both dishes completely exceeded our expectations. The lobster ravioli was rich and flavorful, with a perfectly creamy sauce that complimented the tender pasta and sweet lobster filling. The French onion soup was equally impressive, deeply savory with a rich broth, generously topped with melted cheese and caramelized onions. They also served us warm, toasted garlic bread that was crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with a yummy garlicky taste. The cozy ambiance and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Whether you're craving comforting classics or something a little special, the Brazen Head is well worth a visit. We'll definitely be back! I feel like it's our new favorite place now and it would be a shame to keep it a secret! read more

There is just a fantastic vibe about the Brazenhead. I like to go with a small group of friends for a late-night casual dinner.

I almost feel bad for writ ting a review for this place due to the fact that I dig it so much and I don't want to draw too much attention to it and ruin the atmosphere. They make good, strong drinks. They make 'em perfect in my opinion. The other draw is the food. Their food is the shit, and they serve it until about 1:30 AM. We aren't talking shitty fries and some coconut shrimp from a freezer box. I had a dozen oysters, tuna tar tare, and the single best bread pudding of my life. The place is small and has no sign. This is a real classy gem of the city, too laid back for the hipsters, with a quite looming ambiance that a real bar patron would enjoy. read more
