A perfect hole in the wall bar with great stiff drinks. The back of the bar has a great ambiance and something special.

What a bar wow. Could be on my top 5 favorite bars in California. Phenomenal vibe, clean, super friendly staff (Dave you are the best) Cash only, which i dont mind. Will 1000% come back. read more

See all

My friends and I have always loved CC's. We would always come here to finish our night. However, we had a very bad experience tonight - we were hassled by a very intoxicated woman and tried to manage the situation. When we attempted to mitigate the situation via bartenders and support staff, we were dismissed. We told the bartender that the woman had gotten extremely abrasive with our group, and had even called my friend slurs. However, the bartender diminished our worries and told us that we should simply move to another area. We tried to discuss the situation with another staff member and he was very receptive - however, he anticipated that his manager would be difficult. This was insanely frustrating and so disappointing. We usually go to CC's as a refuge from the chaos of the other bars in the area. Unfortunately, we will be avoiding this bar from now on. read more

Dingy. Off the beaten path because it's really beat. Way better dive bar options than this trash. CC threw out our drinks before the bar was even closed. We also ordered Paloma's (generic tequila drink) and she handed me coronas instead? Still charged us for both. She also said we smelled like hay - "CC" because one of us had a dog. Lol. Thanks CC. Cash only. Creepy vibes. Rude owner/bartender (though she didn't know the difference between a paloma or corona...so are you really a bartender?). Again better options in the area...stay away. Zero if I could. read more

Obviously CC saw me as a tourist. I was wearing my Hardly Strictly Bluegrass tee and hat I chose the bar because Yelp reviews were average and it was a mere block from my motel. She charged me $14 for a Rum and Coke. I understand, it IS SF, but really? She wasnt very friendly either.No greeting, no smile, nothing. Its now the next evening, Saturday and I am at another bar. Where I was greeted with a smile and the same drink is stronger and only $8. Locals may enjoy CCs,it has cozy sofas, chairs and pillows read more

Best bartender ever we knocked some stuff down and he took responsibility and even made the the sinks over that got spilled and helped clean up everything and everybody even though we all thought it was our fault! Brian is the best bartender highly recommend coming in while he's working!!!!! read more

Hidden gem in the Marina! Cool decor. Classic rock memorabilia. Pool table. Friendly service. I'm glad I stumbled upon this spot.

This place had so much potential but unfortunately it was an extremely sketchy experience. Ladies- Beware. We were approached by who we later found out were employees off the clock. One would simply not leave us alone at the pool table. Constant hovering and questioning.. basically harassing us to finish our game. We got there when the bar was quiet and the pool tables were empty but as soon as we set up and paid for the pool table, they immediately wouldn't leave us alone. We had to alert the bartender of what was happening. I really would recommend staying far away from this place.There was also a joke made to us about drugg**g drinks. Just a really scary experience. read more

Dropped in here before a show at the Palace of Fine Arts while waiting to meet a friend. While the Whisky Highball I enjoyed was nothing special, the bar is the opposite of "Antiseptic Marina Vibes" in the best possible way. The staff and clientele are great company, in a great setting. An irony free zone, where everything is beautiful and nothing hurt. The bartender [wish I could remember his name, but he poured generously :-) ] was a longtimer in the area and you could tell he really cared for the local community and his establishment. I think this is the only bar in The Marina that I would return to. read more

Always a friendly crew at the bar. Pool table is a plus. Good place to end up or get started. read more

CC's Cocktails - Biscuit: very good boy. 10/10. Would pet again. - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

Horrible experience with the DJ named Carlos Carvalho AKA DJ TRAUMA. Super rude & condescending. Not a great DJ for a party environment.

super chill bar with a nice pool table and jukebox, and the owner is really friendly. great place to vibe and converse bc you can actually hear one another read more

My husband's, son and his fiancée visited the City over the Labor Day weekend. We took our son to the places we all lived at when he was young and packed in 3 days of fun. CC's was just a block away from where we stayed and it looked like the kind of bar we wanted to visit. The drinks were great and very reasonable, and we all had a great time speaking to the bar tender/manager reminiscing about the City as we knew it and what was new. I wish we could have gone back one more time but the days were busy, and I wish we'd have gotten his name. He was great! read more

WOW! Came across this spot, came from NYC, the best dive bar left in the city! Was recommended by a person on the flight. Went to a ton of places in north beach but this one is the best in all of the city. Plus you can walk to Golden Gate Bridge. Pool table rocks. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Last night the owner / bartender CC accused my friend of being pregnant and refused her service. When my friend said that she was not, in fact, pregnant, CC told her that she should lose weight. My friend is a beautiful young woman who does not look pregnant at all. Please do not support this kind of offensive (and illegal) behavior by supporting this establishment. read more

cc makes the world go round She's the best Than the rest Great cheese samples sometimes too hehe Look for Zoltar and make a wishhhh read more

CC's Cocktails - CC THE LEGEND - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

MY KIND OF BAR! (CASH ONLY though there is an ATM in back) It was virtually empty at 6:15 on a Wed as we gathered to have dinner across the street at Maybecks. Our bartender Brian is my kinda guy - funny, casual, cool, and fast with an order. The martini glasses are big - but it is only a 2/3'd pour - but in the Marina - a Grey Goose Martini for $11 is a steal! There are couches in front (along with the bar) and a pool table in back. read more

Worst place ever, worst customer service No positive vibes WTF do u mean Only cash! Horrible place in one word Very rude bartender Dude if u want to make money u chose the wrong way treating people like this.. read more

I love this place. Friendly laid back vibes. Nice bartenders and crowd. Funky furniture and decor. Great jukebox.

CC is amazing. Runs a great bar, takes care of her core clientele and knows how to cater to the new crowd. Amazing space, comfortable and gorgeous, i'd let her decorate my home. thanks for the hospitality read more

Real bad experience here tonight. My friend is a well-known Yelp Elite with almost 2,000 friends, but is such a nice guy that he wasn't sure if he was going to Yelp, but went there with only the best of intentions and was so heartbroken and distraught tonight that I had just had to review. Like they always say, no good deed goes unpunished. Depending on how things go, he will most likely be posting a review as well. Nobody deserves to be treated this way and so I am pushing him to review too. Anyway, came in here to say Hi to CC. He knew her from years ago and although the place is off the beaten path and in a bad location, he wanted to stop in and say hi to her tonight. There was only one patron at the bar, "Ray" (an alcoholic local who is in love with the bottle) and in the process of friendly conversation, he was repeated insulted and called a "FOOL" by Ray three times. The fourth time was right in front of CC, but she didn't care. Ray then tried to fight him and grabbed my friend leaving deep scratch marks on his arms (I posted a photo). He could have easily decked and hurt Ray, but instead repeatedly said, "No, not in CC's bar!" He did this out of respect for CC and her bar (not that she noticed or cared) and at which point CC said both of you out. He immediately agreed and then when he was outside, CC locked the door and let the violent, fighting guy stay inside. Now the irony of this is that the guy who stayed inside was the guy who instigated the whole thing and then became physical (WTF!). My friend was the true victim here. When he tried talking to CC from outside (calmy), she ignored him and walked away to the back where she was out of sight.. He also looked up the phone number of CC's on Yelp on his phone to talk to CC, but the number didn't work. The other guy had his drink and looked outside and mockingly laughed. I understand where a bar would want to separate two people during an incident, but when you side with the insitigator who also gets violent and treat a loyal friend like crap, there is something wrong. This really says it all about why CC is so popular with her customers over the years (sarcasm). This bar sucks...if this is how you treat good friends who come by to say hello to wish you good luck and then treat them like garbage for respecting your establishment while forcing them to take verbal and physical abuse, something is wrong. This place won't last...three months tops. read more

CC's Cocktails - My friend's arm (per my review) - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

CC's isn't too bad a joint. It's not too crowded, and the bartenders do a decent job (even though the Guinness here comes in cans...sigh). What killed it for my friends and I is that CC's is a watering hole for groups of THAT Guy. You know: "Hi everyone! I'm nearing my fourth decade of existence and still am single. Instead of coming to terms with my chronic bachelorhood being the result of a terminal case of douchewad-itis, I'm just going to soldier on and keep this up. "So before I head out tonight, I'm going to put on a new outfit I picked up at Abercrombie/Hollister/Express for Men/Forever 21. I'll need to shower first, to wash off the extra orange color off my skin from my spray n' fake tan. Ok...good, now that my clothes are on, time to gel my receding hair line. You ladies won't notice if I make up for it with volumizer, right? I'm at least another 10 years from needing hair plugs! "Ok, cool, now that I'm ready, I'm going to call up my homeboys at their cribs to let them know I'm on my way. We're g's you know? The ladies like that. So as I wait for my ride, I'm making sure to skim through the latest pages of US Weekly to keep myself up to date on the latest trends. "Alright, here I am at CC's. Time to high five my brosefs. I think I'm gonna play it fast and loose tonight... That's right, I'm feeling so badass tonight, I'm doing a shot of Jack--WHILE I THROW A BADASS ROCK-ON HAND SIGN. That'll show my cocktail sipping buddies up! "Hahah...wooo...now that my tank is full, time to boogie down with you sexy ladies out there. I'm bringing my A-game tonight! Yeah, that's right, I'm fire. Shake the dice, shake the dice...reel her in...yeah, you like that? Watch me gyrate my loins like a flacid pinata being whacked. You like that baby? Yeah, that's right... "Baby One More Time" is coming on....yeah...that's dirty...let me work it some more. Yeah, see how I'm showing you I can be playful by licking my finger and swirling it around my moob? Yeah, I see you smiling... "Oh, snap! GNR's 'Sweet Child of Mine' is YOUR song?! Totally rad! It's my favorite stripper's song, too! I mean, dancing partner! You know, we do pole dancing on Thursday nights for fitness. It's totally IN right now. "What's that? What do you mean, shouldn't I be home tucking my kids in? Hey, where are you going? Aw, why you gotta hate on a playa like that? No love? Let me buy you a drink! Come back! "Please? "Oh gawwwd, I haven't slept with a woman without having to pay since 2005..." --A day in the night life of THAT Guy at CC's.* *AKA he who looks to Food Network's Guy Fieri for inspiration. read more

*On our quest to try 52 places in 52 weeks* This place is a riot. Locals only- the owner and bartender CC (yup) yelled at some people who were lingering outside the door smoking. It was amazing. She has amazing pictures up of people she met including Gavin Newsom (I'm pretty sure she made a comment on how handsome he is) and the whole place has a homey vibe...like you stepped into someone's living room. The drinks are strong ($7)and the jubebox has some old school hits. Overall- a nice respite from the local marina scene. read more

One of my favorites in the city. It is a low profile place where you can get a stiff drink, play some pool or out of tune piano and feel like you went back in time. Every visit offers something interesting as far as the clientele goes, not the sterile type, but not the obnoxious drunk ones either as CC escort them out herself rather quick. P.S. Bad neighborhood? This is a joke right? (in advance, it was a rhetorical question) read more

Cozy place. It doesn't get too packed like other bars in the area, which is great because you can actually have a conversation without having to shout. And yes, they have a coin operated pool table. read more

I'd love to give cc's a 5 star but she threw out my beer and then threw me out for no reason. I brought a bunch of people there from bus stop to play pool and I was at cc's earlier in the day celebrating my birthday with Brian. (who by the way is a fantastic bartender and if he could personally receive a star rating it would be way higher then a 5 star) it all started when I put a coaster on top of my beer to signal that I was still drinking it and was outside smoking a cigarette. I looked through the window and watched cc toss my drink away that I just paid for. I finished my cigarette and told her that the drink she threw out was mine and that I had literally taken a sip and she said "I've never served you a drink" so I told her that Brian gave it to me and she said "you can take it up with Brian. So I went to bus stop at 12 to play a game of pool and met a ton of people who wanted to play doubles with me and my uncle at cc's because it's such a welcoming spot. I walked in at 1:00 and saw my friends who encouraged me and my uncle to get a game started. As soon as I put my quarters in she said "were closed you have to leave". So I asked her why she wasn't kicking everyone else out and she said "you can't just walk in and out of a bar" which made no sense whatsoever. It was so outrageous even the customers brought it up to her and let her know that It wasn't right. So in conclusion, the only reason y'all are getting a 3 star is because of Brian and if it was just Dave and CC, y'all would have 1 star. read more

What an amazing little bar! My wife and I went in here after the abomination that was Monaghan's. As soon as we walked in, we greeted warmly by the bartender and the customers - of which there were only four, but we were treated like we'd been going there for years! My wife had a rum & coke, which was generously measured, and I had a beer and a whisky. Our stopping in for one drink ended up with us spending the rest of the night there, chatting with the bartender, regulars, and getting into a game of pool with two of them. We were also given a drink on the house, and exchanged rounds of drinks with the regulars. We even got to meet CC, who turned up to work the bar at around 10:30pm and was extremely cool and a great character. Add onto that the great jukebox selection, the decor and the fact it's completely unlike any of the other bro-laden bars in the area, we didn't want to leave! For our first night in SF, this was a great find, and we'll definitely try and make it back before we leave if we can! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting the one and only CC herself. The woman works hard, you can tell. This bar had everything that I expect from a San Francisco Bar. I found it because I was searching a must visit list and it came up. I enjoyed kicking back on the couches while the bartender made some very tasty drinks. The drinks were a little expensive but nothing outside what I felt to be fair considering the area we we're in. The vibe was nice and the people who were in this bar seemed like real salt of the earth type people. I had an enjoyable experience and not much else to share. read more

Patrons are so friendly! CC bartenders and made me a kick ass G & T. Casual & has one pool table. Fun place to be if a single woman, too. Everyone is respectful. read more

This was literally the very 1st bar my wife and I ever went to in SF, as I was here for an interview/Checking out city/scanning rentals, and this proved and proves constantly to be our favorite place in the Marina, but if you aren't local to the neighborhood, STAY OUT, as you aren't welcome! Kidding..kind of.. But if you do go, please don't be an ass, be nice, it's a laid-back, chill out bar. Cheers!! read more

CC's Cocktails - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

Such a cute and amazing little gem! Got there a little late on a Sunday but had the luxury of having the whole bar to ourselves! So rad xoxo read more

Such a comfortable spot. Good prices. Cute set up. Not a big crowd when we went on a Friday night. C.C. herself was friendly.

I love this place! CeCe is a great lady & lots of fun, & I like all of the bartenders except for one-(Vince.) All the rest are fabulous but my 'fave' bartender is Brian: he is so pleasant, personable, funny, & he 'crafts' drinks, not just pour them. He made me the best drink for me last night on Christmas Eve. Thanks Brian-you rock hard! read more

Super chill off the beaten path hang out away from all the douche bags on chestnut. Great vibe, pool table, comfy couches good music

I'm not sure what Michelle G and Sam W *really* experienced or what they were trying to articulate, all I know is I'm glad I won't find them at a great establishment like CC's. read more

Usually a less crowded bar to relax, drink, play pool and unwind. The only time I've seen it crowded, was when they didn't charge a cover and were showing the Warriors in the finals. read more

One of the best kept secrets in San Francisco as far as Dive Bars are concerned. Even people that live across the street have never heard about it. By no means is this a Marina bar which is probably the best thing about it. Actually, the best thing about it is CC herself. I don't know her story. I'd love to talk to someone who does. She's an absolute sweetheart who's happy to see anyone come in though. The other little known secret to CC's heart is by playing Tina Turner's "Proud Mary" on the Juke Box. It's literally CC's on/off switch. She comes alive and immediately grabs for some of the many photo booth style costumes she has stashed in the back, throws them on everyone in the bar and starts dancing. It's quite the sight. You'll love the decor of CC's, but you'll keep coming back because you'll feel like it's your own private bar/lounge. Show some love. read more

We were the only customers on a Monday night, and we loved it! It feels like the perfect cozy basement. 1 pool table, no drink menu, and cash only - the perfect dive. read more

The definition of a "watering hole". Good bartenders who pour stiff drinks and seem to appreciate their regulars. The place usually isn't too crowded, an alternative to the Marina Bar scene, yet in the Marina, plus they have a great jukebox. Perfect for pre or post dinner cocktails. read more

Cute place. Fun decor. The populace was a little wanting for a Saturday night - 2 middle-aged couples and a couple dudes - one who punched the other and a lady who stepped in. It was entertaining enough and very welcoming. Could have used more people though. read more
