I made a reservation several days in advance and never received a password. The door downstairs was propped open, so that we had to pull it back to confirm it was the locker we were supposed to step through. No one confirmed our reservation upstairs and no password was requested. Our drinks were all tasty, but the cherry old fashioned was over-sweet. What was particularly disappointing about the experience was when I ordered a Black Manhattan for the second round I was told the bartender was new and only making drinks on the limited house menu. My second old fashioned was okay, but I was expecting a higher end experience overall.

I appreciated the thoughtful touch of being served water in cute little glasses, and the staff was attentive about keeping them refilled. The live music created the perfect backdrop for the night, and it was great seeing people dancing and genuinely enjoying themselves. Whether you're looking for a fun night out or a great date-night spot, The Howlin Wolf is definitely worth a visit. I had a wonderful experience and would happily return the next time I'm in town.

The prices for drinks are incredibly reasonable, and I am already planning my next visit. The ambiance is simply fantastic; a refreshing departure from the typical bar scene in the Tower District. I was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming LGBT-friendly atmosphere, reminiscent of the spirit of San Francisco ‍ Karaoke nights on Sundays and Wednesdays were an absolute blast, offering a delightful and entertaining experience. I would rate this place a perfect 10 out of 10.

It's fun to be greeted by the staff and regulars when I walk in. Bartenders know what I am drinking before I even ask. It's still like family and I wouldn't change a thing!

I have been doing karaoke here for over 10 years. I was totally happy with The Brig and tried to be…read morea good patron and I would help out a little. I have discovered that management doesn't pay all its help and expects free service. There isn't a dress code for the workers or the clientele. Those that came just knew how to behave and what to wear. The air-conditioner runs constantly, the fans in the bar are going constantly and the back and front doors are open wide. It gets to cold to be comfortable in The Brig and it's because the bar tenders are too hot. Vaping goes on and nothing is done about it. Men go into the Ladies room do whatever in there and excape out the back door. I have personally experienced this twice. The service is slow and poor, at best. Tables are cleared but not wiped down. The bar now is messy and unorganized. Some of the help don't know how to mop up a spilled drink. The help dresses scantily and shows more that they need to. This might be the problem. The clientele has change and it's not the regulars that come in there any more. The clientele is moving to be a rougher, more dangerous group. Karaoke was great this last Sunday night (March 1, 2026). A few of the old crowd was there and it wasn't the dive bar we had on Saturday night (Feb 28, 2026). I will continue to go to the Brig as long as I am with my DJ. But someone in control needs to look at some of this.
