Amazing food! Amazing drinks! Had my window smashed in when I got back to my car and my date offered to cover the fee for the damage, so be warned about the neighborhood -- but Chambers itself is a beautiful date night spot for cocktails and truly quality food. And it's Insta-friendly, with that big sign and all. What more could you want? read more

Amazing cocktails, food in an incredible retro, historic and hip location. We came during fall 2020 and were seated outside, under heat lamps, right next to the pool in the open courtyard. Service was attentive and suggestive of what would come to be, the best part of the night, the food. I had an incredible old fashioned with the brussel sprouts and the ribs. We had a great time and can't wait to go back. read more

Good drinks and ambiance. Loving the vinyls and swanky feel. Tasty small plates compliment well with my cocktail:)

Went for dinner last night, a friend's 30th birthday party. This hotel/ restaurant has a Rock N Roll feel, with great patio seating, dim lighting, cool bar inside. They have a decent wine selection and a wide range of prices which is nice. The cocktails are really strong! These are the best features of the restaurant. The service at this place is poor at best. We sat at 8, got our appetizers just after 9, and our main course just after 10. It seemed like a really long wait to eat. The appetizer my friend and I split was the Hamachi ceviche. The dish was small, and not enough for two, it was a let down after waiting over an hour. We both had the burger for dinner, which neither of us cared for. After waiting for over two hours to eat we were ready to get out of Chambers. The service is some of the worst I've seen in San Francisco. The manager came to assure us two occasions are food was on it's way, but it just never seemed to come out, I felt like they had forgot about our table. There were 15 people in our party. They forgot to bring food out to several people in our group. It was just a bad experience on a great night for my friend. I wouldn't come back here. read more

Chambers is a chill spot, great for dinner, drinks and just catching up with friends. The food is and drinks are delicious. The (Be Amazing) bar and outdoor area is great for groups and a few friends. Pros: The chill atmousphere, the delicious food and drinks Cons: Not in the greatest part of SF and pricey $$$ read more

Truly, this place is a-ok. Main points: -Pretty good food: jerusalem artichoke soup was intriguing and apparently I'm a sucker for squid ink. Truffle ricotta was dependable, even though the bread was perfunctory. A lot of people were getting the burger so if I ever came back here, I'd try that. -Meh cocktails: drinks are so-so and a bit imbalanced. The Gin Drink sounded promising but needed a lot more cava to balance the overwhelming flavor of cynar. (Don't know what that is? Neither did I until I googled it in front of the waitress. Education + technology ftw.) -Atmosphere: cute, hidden away vibe. Unfortunately this was more of a cubic zirconia in the rough than a diamond in the rough experience. read more

Really good place for drinks and hang out. Haven't tried food yet , but the environment is really cool. Liked it .... read more

Amazing place Burgers with pork belly was insane ! Hangover hash f great dish So many tastes in one plate read more

Food was good. Had pork belly, Egg royale, and spiced french toast. Negative... tenderloin leaves a lot to be desired. Parking isn't great. Bathroom had bad public bathroom smell read more

We went there for a laid-back brunch, and felt like things were taken very, very seriously over there. This didn't make us as comfortable as we were expecting our brunch to be... The girl at the door was very helpful, but not friendly at all. The food looked great and imaginative, and tasted alright (way not as good as it looked! but decent anyway...) The waitress (young blond gal, whose name I forgot) was really, really awesome, a ray of energy in an otherwise pretty grim and "serious" ambiance. We probably won't go back, but I understand how people who like hip places without caring too much about the food itself will like it a lot. read more

All I can say is wow - this place is a total SF gem. I came to Chambers for the first time on Saturday for Brunch. I have heard really great things from friends and knew I needed to check out the iconic Phoenix Hotel. With some friends visiting from out of town I knew this would be the perfect time to go. I made a reservation that morning and it was no issue sitting a table of 6 outside by the pool. The whole decor was amazing, I loved the the old bookshelf and the the various kinds of tables throughout the restaurant. But my favorite part was the outside patio, with the bright colored hotel room doors and outside furniture, the pool and the funky sculptures I knew this place was right up our alley (regardless of the fact it's located in the Tenderloin). Since it was a beautiful Saturday in SF, we decided to do the bottomless mimosas. What a steal, especially since we love our morning cocktails. Our server was very attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty. And then there is the food... Let me say this again, WOW. My friend visiting and I shared the egg-in-a-hole (4 stars) and asked for the bacon crunchy, which is a must in my book. The brioche bread was amazing the side salad was extremely refreshing. We also shared the Pork Belly (which is the reason why I had to write-up a post 5+ stars). HOLY YUM!! This was probably the best brunch dish I have had in SF. The crispy kale, the spicy gochujang and garlic potatoes combined with the running soft boiled eggs was absolutely TO DIE FOR. I'm not the biggest Polk Belly fan but this was good! I also tried my friends Eggs Royale (4.5 stars) which was an awesome play of eggs Benedict and lox. I will 100% be back and will be telling all my friends about Chambers. read more

(4.33) ~ Very Good overall Food & Service!;) NOTES: It's a casual & laid-back atmosphere. Located in the Hotel. MY MENU: ** Pork Belly Brunch Dish = (4.5) Very Good! ** water(tap) = (4) very good...must be filtered;) ** Orange Juice = (4) very good...freshly squeezed too;) ** Coffee(french press) = (4) very good read more

Food was 4 stars, service left something to be desired. More specifically my gripe is with the Phoenix hotel staff. We arrived 8 minutes early for our 5pm reservation. The restaurant wasn't open yet and the front desk clerk suggested we go down the street to another bar to wait until Chambers opened - when I responded that it was only a few minutes he said "you can do a shot then". Hmmm, so then I asked if we could just wait by the pool area, to which he was all to happy to say "No, that is for hotel and restaurant guests only." But we are restaurant guests? No he said, not until we check in for our 5pm reservation. So we sat outside, on a bench, in the middle of the Tenderloin, to wait 5 minutes for the restaurant to open. Tater tots and Smoked grit fries are delish; ambiance and music are spot on - but I was just rubbed the wrong way by our first interaction to ever come back again. Granted, dude isn't an employee of Chambers, but when your restaurant is in a motel, their staff is part of the service too. read more

Chambers is in such a weird spot that it's definitely a hard-to-find hipster bar. Once walking in, you're really transported to this outstanding mix of dive bar and class. The books and records on the wall are mesmerizing enough, but the cocktails are out of this world. From the outside, you'll never find this place so make sure to look it up beforehand. Don't miss out on Chambers- especially if you're into pool parties- you'll love the parties at the adjacent hotel! read more

The food is just absolutely fantastic. We had the Kobe beef tri tip, which was like buttah- so smooth! The pork belly was delicious and dissolved like cotton candy and the burger was a perfect finish! The service though really sucked. I'm not even going to lie. They came over maybe 2x (order, check) to the table and we waited for a lifetime for the check. She even forgot our wine, but after that we were over it. Service gets a 0, but the food was a 4 for sure! read more

Food was pretty good! The fruits were fresh and the biscuits are to DIE FOR. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the brisket. I didn't care for it too much. It was a bit tough and too sweet. I wish I had just ordered another Biscuit and Gravy. Mimosas were yummy--juice was good! The service was okay. We sat on the patio and it took about 10 minutes to get someone's attention so we could get water. But they were very friendly about it. They also continued to serve us mimosas after we paid which I loved! read more

Overview: Eh food and even ehhhh-er service. Not sure if the servers were having a bad day but they seemed irritated in answering basic questions about menu item. Good: French toast dish was very good. The bourbon syrup was spot on. Bad: Everything else. Eggs in the hole dish was cold and dry. Side of pork belly was cold and barely cooked. I understand that you don't want to ruin pork belly by over-cooking but how about exposing the food to an open flame. Best part of the experience was watching the guests checking in and out of the eclectic boutique hotel that the restaurant is adjacent to. Also located in one of the seedier neighborhoods of the city. Not much car parking but plenty of shopping cart parking out front. read more

Great vibes, great food, great service, always. The pork belly and soufflé pancakes in particular are to die for

I went to chambers last Saturday with a big group of restaurant servers and sat on the patio. Had a good time, everything was great. We went to pay the bill- we paid with cash and partial credit cards. Later, we realized our cards were overcharged $100 and we called them on it and they denied receiving $100 cash. So it seems our server, tall, dirty blonde, big boobs-pocketed the $100 and had a good night. We Won't be going back. read more

It's a pretty cool lounge and it's perfect to go for an after party. It's not too crowded and that's a good thing. The music is pretty good too. read more

We are from South Carolina visiting San Francisco for vacation. We are staying at the Phoenix built onto the restaurant. The guys at the front desk recommended the restaurant. We looked up reviews on Yelp and decided it'd be worth a try. The restaurant is cool and hip. Our waitress Rachael was courteous and helpful. We ordered from the "small bites" menu and were happy with our choices. My wife got the potato gnocchi and I ordered the crispy pork belly. We also got an order of fries to split. Everything tasted great but it was a little pricey for the amount of food received. To be fair we are from a state of large portions, and we expected to pay more for food here. Last night was our first night in the city so we are adjusting from coming off the road too. read more

We ditched our original reservations somewhere else because we were so blown away by the customer service here. We were staying the night at the Phoenix and wanted to have a cocktail before heading out. I wish I got the name of the bartender in the back because she was amazing. Long brown hair, beautiful but just so kind! Her cocktails were spot on and she was so attentive to us and everyone at the bar. Because of her we decided to cancel our reservation some where else and to stay for dinner in the main dining room. I believe our server for dinner was Christina. Again, amazing! So hopeful with the menu, so sweet. She was just fun to talk to and gave us great recommendations! She even brought us out a delicious creme brûlée. We were so stunned with her generosity and kindness. It actually happened to be my husband's birthday too but we didn't even say anything so it was such a treat to have that as a surprise. Coming in from Oakland for a night of fun in the city I truly think we were meant to be there that night. It was hands down the best experience we have had in either city. The food was delicious but to us customer service is everything and yay to Chambers for having such awesome people represent them! I would recommend this place to anyone and we can't wait to go back! read more

food is supper yummy but it gets packed so hard for service to get there The appts are amazing. steak amazing, sea bass way too small. the drinks are pretty good read more

4 Stars for Drinks Had a Cube Libre with Flor de Cana! Killer Wine list is ok, but only a handful of by the glass options so plan on buying a bottle 2 Stars fro Food...there is plenty of room for improvement. Chambers has a ton of potential, but the menu doesnt seem to make much sense..its part gastropub, part classic American, part Japanese, part I dont know wtf Saturday night...Arrived and was seated and greeted with a cool table near the window to the pool. The atmosphere is great and I loved the decor, but unfortunatley the food wasnt so hot.. Started with truffle dip and chips which was ok, but the chips seemed like bagged Ruffles so nothing special Next was the Smoking Hamachi, which was a cool concept but didnt pack much smoke flavor and the dipping sauce added nothing at all. The fish itself was mediocre quality at best. We split two entrees 1.Oxtail Ravioli - ok so this one really confused both of us...while it says Ravioli, its really more like a pot sticker on top of Asian style veggies cooked in soy sauce..I guess if that was the expectation from the get go I wouldnt have been so thrown off. The soy marinade made the whole dish really salty. 2. Salmon - normally I would go for something more exotic than salmon, but due to Chambers limited entree choices (5 or 6 total) The salmon was small in portion (size of a deck of cards) and garnished with a cauliflower mash that made the plate even more bland..overall this is well below par for SF. I really want to like this place but the menu/food has a long ways to go - I'll be back, but i think drinks only will be the choice...also have fun parking! read more

This is a place I usually wouldn't like all that much, but I had a good time here. It's in the tenderloin, so it's not a great area, but you walk inside and it's pretty hip and trendy... it's by a hotel there so it has a old hotel/diner layout? but totally supremely remodelled to be modern and fashionable. There's a small bar up front w/ some tables, then a long narrow area w/ more tables and in the back there's a slightly bigger bar. We were there 7:30 PM saturday so it should be packed, and all the tables were, but it's no problem to find a spot at the bar and get a drink... cocktails were pricey.. $11 i think?... anyway, our table was ready, and we sat down and it's tight quarters, but they do everything well.... I liked our server... foreign.. I'm guessing she's ukrainian (i have no idea... she could have been swedish.... she was blond and spoke w/ a thick accent)...but she was unassuming and helpful and not pretentious unlike some servers can be at trendy places like this...anyway... we got the truffle dip which was tasty... they probably make a killing off of that... the tritip thing on the sizzling round hot stone was just OK... the crudo was good, I don't remember what else we got... but the reason why this is 5 stars is the burger. I ordered it medium rare and didn't get anything extra (they offer avocado and porkbelly on it), but I just got it as is... it's probably one of the best burgers I've had in san francisco. Very distinctly smokey... I love butter lettuce, single slice of tomato.. I don't remember any pickles, but the smoked red onion? was awesome... but the kicker was the aioli.. it was a whole grain mustard aioli? loved it..... meat was nice and juicy and well seasoned and the whole thing was just the perfect size burger... patty not too fatty.. not too small.... and I like the fact they don't have to put bacon on it to make it tasty. this place was pretty pricey in the end.. we didn't get dessert, but it was like $80 a person b/c of all the drinks and appetizers/sides... bathroom was clean. read more

Came here with my date and was pleasantly surprised. At one time I had been here and couldn't quite remember until now, but I believe this was once the Bamboo Lounge. I think... Anyway, our Latvian mixologist knew how to serve up some pretty interesting cocktails. All quite good I felt. Unfortunately, we could not experience the back area as there was a private party. So rain check for a revisit to see that part. The front part is much more casual and so are the patrons. Good vibe though and good space. We scored on the couch / lounge area and that was perfect for us this night. Allowed us to enjoy our drinks, some aps, and get a little close... Food wise, we had to try the sizzling kobe tri-tip, shrimp bisque, and the truffle ricotta. All were quite good and balanced. The kobe was probably our favorite out of the three. Service was prompt as well and always nice. Decor is not a Hard Rock Cafe theme. Much more subtle and record store like in nature, but nicely done. Overall, I'd recommend a visit to check this place out. read more

After doing the Bay to Breakers this year a friend found this place via YELP! so we decided to head there for refueling. Luckily my friend called and got the low down, when we arrived 20 minutes later the hostess tried to brush us off and say that they were booked entirely and weren't seating on the patio poolside (though the restaurant was entirely empty and that the pool had seating for 3 parties) so we made out with a shaded pool table. Service was ok, our waitress didn't understand that we had a 2 yr old with us and to bring the fruit bowl and emergency fries stat - they came after the meals did 25 mins later...luckily we had snacks in a bag. The food was delicious (spiced french toast with strawberries & bourbon syrup is recommended for breakfast/brunch) but the beer selection was allegedly sold out. When we selected one variety we were told it was out, then the next selection only had 2 left over so after we ordered them it was gone, selection 3 was out, FINALLY selection 4 was in stock. Pitiful. read more

I had my birthday dinner here and the place exceeded my expectations. I had a party of 10 and we got to sit in a cozy corner surrounded by old records and perfectly dimmed lighting. Our food tasted amazing and the drinks were tasty-each of my friends found a new favorite cocktail! My only complaint was the slow service. I only noticed because we had somewhere to be after dinner, but otherwise it would not have been an issue. My friends loved the place too. Super sexy vibe at the bar and at the pool outside. read more

I had Sunday brunch here with a group of 11. The restaurant was able to take a large reservation on a Sunday which was part of the reason why we chose this place. I had the smoke salmon, egg, and hash brown. It was just OK in my opinion, everything besides the salmon tasted a bit bland. My friend got the french toast and that was very good. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night which was really slow but was still such a charming place ambiance. Boyfriend and I ordered the Kobe beef and liver plate. Both were okay. But we both thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails. I ordered the spicy cucumber which I loooved! This would be a good place to take a date or someone from out of town. Such a cute space. read more

Meh! I used to love this place both for drinks and dinner. But now I think I'll skip dinner and just coming in for drinks. The food was ok and took forever and the price is a bit on a high side for the quality they serve. I came in in Saturday had the pork belly and duck breast and my bf had the burger. Just an okay not super excited to go back here for dinner, maybe just for drinks. The drinks somehow were great so two stars for that. read more

the atmosphere is incredibly fun, with a cool vibe and fabulous food from Chef Trevor Ogden. We went for brunch & had an incredible Pork Belly dish and a few other dishes that were all fabulous.

Overall review: 4 Stars (Brunch only) Ambiance: clean and peaceful. No drunk rowdy people ruining your dining experience Parking: street parking available and should be easy to find within walking distance. Reservations: easy to make! Drinks: House Bloody Mary with vodka. Recommended Food: - Eggs Royale: slightly salty for me, but a very good dish. highly recommend if you like that salty, crunchy yet chewy texture - Pork Belly: salty yet delicious. I was addicted to the seasoning and I wiped my plate clean - Souffle Pancake: i am not a sweets person but this was pleasantly delicious. the icecream on top of it really makes it - Biscuits and Gravy (side): pretty standard. it comes with two biscuits and they're pretty big, so don't be fooled by it being a "side" read more
