The Caesar salad was simple but well done, and the roasted cauliflower with its spicy tomato-style sauce was delicious. The highlight was the pesto pizza with asparagus and peas. The crust had a perfectly crispy underside, and the pizza was full of flavor. Service was friendly and attentive. It also looks like they have a brewery setup, possibly from the previous brewery. We visited on a Friday at lunch, and it wasn't too busy. I hope they're packed on nights and weekends because this place deserves to stick around. We'd definitely come back.

Panko crust definitely was charred and overcooked Fries hit the spot though! Pork chop presentation looked really good but most of the pieces were very fatty and not a lot of meat.

We were headed to another spot later, so grabbed two rounds while here. I arrived first and was able to grab a table by the window. He got the first round which was just a beer and Jameson. I grabbed the second which was the same plus a bag of chips. The total for my round was $14.56. I had no idea HH had a back patio. We ended up there for our second round. I adore sitting outside, so it was nice to catch up while sipping our drinks. After our event, we came back for two more rounds to end the night. Our party grew to 5 and we sat at the bar. A gf got the first round and I got the second round of shots. Total for that was $31.20. I had Jameson, some had Fireball. I can't recall the rest. Fun neighborhood bar. REVIEW #3856

Quality/Quantity - Our local neighborhood bar. Indoor and outdoor seating (smoking)…read more Today it looked like every one went out front to smoke, I did not check to see if the back was closed. My buddy is a regular and knows the team that works here. This has been our go to place when I visit. Beers on tap, full bar, cocktail program, etc. Pool, darts, etc. Events - Bands, live music, etc. Happy hour available. But we always meet late at night as he is just too busy during the day and still has young kids. Atmosphere - Decent size neighborhood bar. Full bar, cocktails, wine, beer, etc. Quiet for a Friday night, which suits me just fine; actually, I prefer it that way. Open 7 days a week from noon till 2am, and we closed the bar, as usual (Yelp hours differ slightly). Events - See their website. Dart league, pool league, etc. Service - Good, not sure if she recognized me as a "regular" or because my buddy who is a regular and showed up later. Always able to open a tab or pay as you go. FYI - Free BBQ on select Sundays and munchies on select nights. Price - $80 + generous tip. Yes, we drink a lot. And could have even drank more. Actually very reasonably priced for SF, considering how many drinks we got today. Just noticed that I can buy pitchers?!?! That might save me a few $$ in the future, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2013; we have been day one customers. And will still continue to be.

It was pretty empty when we went but we enjoyed the boozy milkshakes (the chocolate banana was super fun) and ended up sharing a scorpion bowl as well.

The Glow-Up The "grandfather of tiki" finally went to rehab--and by rehab, I mean it actually got a scrub-down. The legendary grime has been replaced by bright floors, refreshed bamboo, and a bar top so clean you can actually see your pupils dilating after the second round. It's still a dive, but now it's a dive you can bring a date to without needing a tetanus shot. The Heavy Artillery The drinks are still served in bowls large enough to sustain a small village during a drought. Whether it's a Scorpion or a Mai Tai, the ratio of rum-to-juice remains aggressively in favor of the rum. It's tropical, it's blue, and it will have you reconsidering your career at the bank by 10:00 PM. The MVP Bartenders The real reason to crawl out to the Richmond? The bartenders. These absolute legends navigate the chaos with the speed of a high-frequency trader and the patience of a saint. They handle a room full of "one more bowl!" requests without breaking a sweat or losing their wit. The Verdict: It's the oldest tiki bar in SF, and it's finally stopped looking its age. Go for the booze, stay for the bartenders who actually know what they're doing.
