    Came here the same night as a Fisher concert at the Moscone center. It wasn't too busy, and the were playing/showing live Fisher sets on the speakers/tvs which made for a really fun vibe. As soon as we walked in, the service was great and throughout the evening the staff were on top of everything. They had a fun Fisher inspired drink special which was amazing, and overall the prices are very reasonable for how fun this place is. I realllly like the quality of the darts/boards and the games we played were all so fun! I will definitely be back!

    Great for corporate events and birthday parties. Dart games with automatic scoring, cocktails, and food. Drinks were pretty good, but food was underwhelming. Best cocktail was their take on a Naked and Famous with mezcal, Aperol, and yellow Chartreuse. Seven layer tuna tartare was quite bad, with 7 people we didn't even finish it. Salads were good but way too much dressing. French fries, sliders, and baked oysters were the highlights. Service was friendly but surprisingly not super attentive given how much we were ordering - we'd probably have gotten twice as many drinks and food if they checked back in more. I think they're still new though, so will give some grace. (They seemed a bit off their game, even spilled a bunch of drinks early on. ) But the 25% included gratuity is a bit much (20% tip + 4% surcharge which was calculated on top of the tax). Minus one star for that - I hate hidden fees.

    Great food and had lots of fun playing the different dart games. Ambience was fun. Cocktails tasted great. I love mezcal and they had several mezcal options. Food-wise our group ordered: - tuna tartare - pork & kimchi sliders - shishito peppers - beef tongue - trout dip - steak frites I recommend ordering a bunch of food to share with friends. Only thing that was okay was the steak. I can tell it was cooked good, but it was small, super tough and chewy - not sure what cut they used but I would recommend using a better cut.

    Stopped by for happy hour with a group of friends and we had a great time! They have a good happy hour menu with drink and food--their burger was excellent. I definitely want to go back and try out theirs darts setup.

    Very cute space - went for a happy hour of ~10 people around 5pm (made a reservation)! They have virtual darts that you can easily play for an hour or two. Our entire party was able to play the same game. We had a really fun time! I believe they opened just recently, since everything is clean and modern. Service was very sweet and attentive. They've also got fun bar snacks and creative cocktails.

    Welcoming new bar that took over previous Thai restaurant, place itself remained vacant all throughout covid so glad this place opened up several months back. Well renovated, beautiful furnishings, very clean bathroom area. Good happy hour options - the shishito peppers were on the oilier side, but was a generous portion. $45/hr for darts on the higher end but if you come within first hour they open it's complimentary, so might try that next time. Seems like their pricing is to be competitive with Spin next door - which invites many businesses to book out the place for private events. I do like the multiple TVs they have scattered by the dart section - could see people coming here for the games.

    I found this place to be big on curb appeal, but more pretentious than it needs to be. Pros: The games and ambience are perfect for date night or company outing. Cons: They could benefit from a happy hour, a few well known steakhouses just blocks away offer HH all day every day. Darts are $45 for 90 minutes Well drinks are double what they should be for the area. The bartenders measure like scientists with the jigger. Overall I feel like Golden Eye has potential but needs to make adjustments to keep up with the neighborhood.

    I had a blast at golden eye social a few weeks ago. You get 90 minutes to play as many games as you'd like. There are tons of fun games to choose from, even though I lost at all of them. The drinks and food were spot on too. Definitely plan on going again with a larger group soon.

    Came here with a group of 10 to celebrate a birthday and it was such a great way to get the night started. We reserved 2 of the darts lanes for 90 minutes. Customer service was great, food & drinks were great and ambiance was clean & modern. The darts itself was so much fun & would definitely be back. Their Bullseye cocktail was a hit in our group and the food was better than your average bar food. My only complaint is that when we ordered the 2nd round of drinks it took a while to come out & we found ourselves being rushed to clear the area before the next reservations arrived. Also, everything was on the pricier end but it was worth the experience & friendly competition. Cheers!

    Golden Eye Social will now and forever hold a special place in my heart and belly. My best friends rented a table and darts lane at golden eye after my fiancé proposed to me and I could not have wanted or wished for anything else. Levi - the amazing liquor wizard behind the bar made me any drink I could ever want and was incredibly hospitable. He even went as far as to help us take cute photos at the bar top and made sure to place the flowers in the perfect spot. He also found out from my fiancé that ducks were one of my favorite animals and he gave us two (which were decorations for a specific cocktail) and put a tiny napkin veil on it to congratulate us. There was another kind server that asked if she could help us take pictures because she loved our energy. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better way to end our getting engaged day. Ambiance: 10/10 Hospitality: 10/10 Alcohol/cocktails 10/10 Food: 10/10 P.S. one of the bathrooms has a really cool button.

    Golden Eye Social definitely makes a statement with its fancy, upscale ambiance. Our experience had some real highlights. The food was genuinely very good. We absolutely loved the mushroom steak and the fries; both were delicious. That mushroom steak, especially, felt pretty luxurious - definitely a treat for a special occasion rather than an everyday order. And our cocktails, a Manhattan and an Espresso Martini, were both well-made and enjoyable. Beyond the food and drinks, a fun surprise was their augmented reality darts. These aren't just regular darts; it's that cool setup with the 3D projectors, which made for a really unique and interactive game. We had a blast playing, and it was a bonus that it was free for us during our visit, though I understand it can typically cost around $45, so it's worth checking current pricing if you plan to play. However, where Golden Eye Social truly fell short was in its limited vegetarian and especially vegan options. Aside from the fries and the mushroom steak (which I suspect might have had egg, like other dishes), there was hardly anything else available for those looking for plant-based choices. In a city like San Francisco, where you're surrounded by restaurants boasting diverse and inclusive menus, this felt like a significant oversight. To truly appeal to a broader clientele and genuinely stand out in this competitive culinary landscape, they really need a more comprehensive and clearly labeled plant-based selection on their menu. Overall, Golden Eye Social offers a very stylish setting, good food and drinks, and some unique entertainment. If they could infuse a bit more warmth into the ambiance and significantly expand their inclusive menu options, it would truly elevate the experience.

    My new favorite! Top tier drinks, the Combination Finish is my personal favorite, and great food! The Golden Burger was soooo good and was a wonderfully filling portion. No sad thin burgers here, and lots of fries! The dart lanes are surprisingly really fun even if you don't have any experience (or skill) with darts! The games you can pick from give you different goals and rules, all with different animations and themes, so it isn't just the basic dart board game. Well worth the reservation if you want an activity for a friends happy hour, a casual date, or work event. Food pricing felt pretty standard, but the drink pricing will have you getting second and third rounds without clutching your wallet in fear. Where else downtown can you get a $15 espresso martini?? The service! The service is unmatched. The bartenders, and servers were all so friendly and eager to make sure you were enjoying yourself and had everything you needed. Even the managers were floating and making sure everything was perfect, checking in on tables and the staff. It's evident how much care they put into the place, and it felt like everyone was genuinely happy to be there. Conveniently located by lots of public transportation too. Less than a 10 min walk from bart/muni!

Luckily, my friend had already been to Iron Horse Cocktails, and suggested we go there instead. Walking down the alleyway it is located in was a nice getaway from the otherwise hectic union square atmosphere. Walking in was also a neat experience that felt like we were stepping out of the city into a tiny pub. We also really liked the atmosphere inside and the cozy upper floor that had an interesting mix of old paintings and woodwork, creating an eclectic feel. I got the We've Got the Beet cocktail with mezcal, beet reduction, ginger, fresh citrus, thyme and firewater bitters. I love mezcal's smoky flavors and was drawn to the combination of ginger, citrus and mezcal flavors in the drink. The cocktail was very good and had a nice smokiness from the mezcal, along with the kick from the ginger and zest from the citrus, creating a refreshing and tasty drink. My friend got the About Thyme, with gin, blackberry liquor, black pepper thyme syrup and fresh citrus. We both really liked his drink as well, which had an interesting kick from the black pepper thyme syrup that offset the gin and blackberry liquor nicely. While we only had time to grab a drink each, we were both very happy with the drinks and would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

There's zero hint from the outside about what's waiting behind that door and that's part of the magic. Inside? Total vibe. Moody, trendy decor, shelves of great vinyl, solid drinks. It feels like the kind of spot you accidentally stay at way longer than you planned. Greg, our bartender, was fantastic. Friendly without being over the top, and he even gave us bar recommendations all over SF, which was a nice bonus. We ordered the Mi Sharona and the El Mariachi. The Mi Sharona leaned a little sweeter than I usually go for but it was still really good. The El Mariachi, though, was the winner: just the right amount of spice, subtle and balanced, not overpowering the drink at all. Love this spot.

For $15 a cocktail, it's definitely one of the more affordable spots in the city. Came here on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't busy, probably since it was quite early in the day. We got 2 drinks: - The Green Room: this hands down is a great cocktail choice especially if you're looking for something on the lighter side. I would recommend this if you are unsure what to try. - I don't remember what the second drink was called but I do remember it had roku gin in it (not sure if it is the gin and juice). It is definitely on the stronger side. If you do not enjoy gin... you will not like this. Was not expecting it to be so strong. Overall, I like the vibes of this place and like that it is open on the earlier side. The drinks felt a bit of a hit or miss, but we only tried 2 of them.

I always go with the nachos and have never been disappointed, perfect portion for me, but could be shared if you're not super hungry or wanted to mix in a bunch of different food items. Service is friendly but very slow; especially for drinks. I'm not deducting any stars for that though, it's a very small bar that gets very crowded during happy hour so the staff constricted by space, not a desire to work.

Being from the Bay…read moreArea and having lived in Oregon for the last 6 years, there is a chance I may have hyped California Mexican food in my mind too much; I don't think so but there's always a chance. Had lunch here with some colleagues (I've been here before but it's been 10+ years). In general, the group found the ordering method a bit wonky. It falls for me into the category of one of those spots who did some things for Covid and has continued those practices because they seemed to work. You go into a line and order entrees at the first station; but it's not clear which ones and some are precooked and some aren't. But you don't order beverages or sides there you do that at the register. Seating is self service and you grab your own napkins and silverware at the bar. Fine; but if you don't know no one is going to tell you even if you ask. Food - pretty decent food. I got the shrimp plate. Rice and beans standard - and lots of them. Shrimp not too many, but I was not super hungry. Salad, lots of it but wilted hot and weird. I could have gone without or preferred some escabeche. Tortillas; corn, store bought IMO. Ceviche; not bad not great. Guacamole same. All in all I ate about 1/5 of my plate and had plenty so if you want to fill up and have a bit appetite this is for you:

Arrived on a whim at around 6pm on a weekday and found a nice seat at the bar top. They have these little orb lights that can't be moved.

He also told me I was right on time for the saber champagne presentation -more on that in a sec. For drinks, I ordered the Hibiscus Spice and the Paradise cocktail. Both were super fruity and delicious! I had a great time sipping on this while chatting it up with a few folks at the bar. To nibble, I can never say no to ahi tuna tartare and this one was great! The most interesting little wafers, ahi tuna with some avocado cream and a little spicy sauce. I absolutely devoured these! So good! Now for the best part, the champagne presentation! A gentleman gave a little info session on on how this process is done and at the end he took a giant to a bottle of champagne to open it. Really Cool! What made this even better was that everyone at the bar got to snag a complimentary glass. What a treat! Super cute little hour of so sitting at the bar at the St. Regis. Absolutely a little pricey, but i'ma girl who lives to spoil herself a bit. Because YOLO. Right?
