    It's your typical sports bar with plenty of TV's, seating, games and an impressive beer lineup. We were meeting a few friends and only having drinks. No wait, no lines, plenty of open seating, friendly staff.

    Based on Yelper reviews thought this place interesting and stooped while on a staycation. Large space with many TVs, gaming area, array of seating options and awesome beer selection. Was debating between two and she offered us sampler to make our selection, easy, wow. Loved her rec of fog city ipa. Yelpers stated that they didn't have table service, but we caught them on a day they did. Our waitress was very friendly, helpful, and came with a cheery smile. Ordered 18 wings which had a nice kick to them. Just wish they were hotter and crispy. Then ordered truffle fries. Asked for hot and crispy and they delivered.

    An SF staple! You can't go wrong with 3 floors of entertainment. GG Tap is busy for home games and crazy for city events such as Santa Con. Great selection of beers including house made options. Traditional bar food options: wings burgers etc. Convenient location with somewhat easier parking after 6pm (meter restrictions)

    If you're looking for a place to watch the Niners game in San Francisco, Golden Gate Tap Room is definitely the spot! They had two different floors, the second floor showing multiple games, and the third floor was dedicated to the Niners. We got here about an hour before game time, and they open the third floor about 30 minutes before the start of the game. I'd recommend getting there around that time to snag a good table to watch the game They have an extensive beer selection along with a full bar. There are no signature cocktails, but I got a lemon drop that was made to perfection. The bartenders were amazing and ran that place like a well oiled machine. To snack on, we got an order of the garlic fries. As a french fry connoisseur, these were DEVINE!! Thin, crispy and piping hot with a spicy mayo and ranch sauce on the side. They were so good, we ordered another. So simple, but so so so delicious. I will 100% be back here for another sporting event!

    pretty good calamari, appreciate they include tentacles. a little chaotic trying to find a spot for a game so come early. because it's so busy it takes a bit for your waiter to come by

    fun, chill space especially if you're a Bay Area sports fan! We've been here during the day when it was slow and also during a 49er game. It was totally packed during the Niner game and the slow time is nice to take a break from walking around Union Square.

    We came in for a beer on a Sunday night. It was a bit dead, the bartender was nice. Overall it's an okay sports bar to come check out.

    This is a really great place to watch sports and hang out. I find that it's really hard to find a sports bar that has: 1. lots of TVs 2. decent food/variety of food 3. variety of drinks 4. large This place has a very large menu, lots of beer, the space is huge and multi-level. There are fun games and pool here as well. You do have to come here early to secure a seat for busy game days. I love how every spot is a good viewing spot. They also have happy hour as well. I was bummed that on a big night like NBA finals, they were out of certain popular beers and the section option we picked was a bit flat or what was recommended was not similar to what we tried to order.

    Golden Gate Tap Room is a great spot on game days. They always have the games on, the crowd shows up, and the energy is exactly what you want if you are trying to watch sports with other fans. The vibe during big games is fun and lively, and it feels like a proper sports bar experience. On non game days, it can feel pretty empty, which is a bit of a vibe killer. That said, they make up for it with a ton of arcade games. I once spent a full hour on the Big Buck Hunter machine and had a great time, so there is definitely still stuff to do even when it is slow. They also have an excellent selection of beers on tap, which I really appreciate as a beer lover. One downside is that service can be pretty slow on busy game days. It feels like they do not always have enough staff to keep up when the place is packed. Overall, still a solid go to for games, beer, and killing time with arcade games.

    We stopped by here for a quick snack and to kill some time before our next reservation. The place is much bigger than I expected, especially when looking from the outside. This is a spacious sports bar with games to keep you occupied. We had some carne asada fries and a pepperoni pizza. The carne asada fries were a good appetizer. The pizza was decent but smaller than I expected. The staff was friendly and made sure we had what we needed.

    Okay, look, when you want a sports bar, you want a sports bar. This isn't the romantic date spot or the place you take new coworkers to impress them... unless they're Warriors fans. The space is large enough that there's room for a ton of TVs with an assortment of sports paired with speakers bumping great music and keeping the energy high. You're not here to decompress after a high pressure meeting, you're here for loaded tots and beer, SO much beer. The folks here are great, very accessible and cool with suggestions, especially if you're looking for something new to try from their stable of beers. Round up the troops, come watch the game(s), get it going with the bar grub and impressive beer selection and you will NOT be disappointed you stopped by. Just be ready to hike upstairs as the place is not on the ground floor. Thankfully, after a night of trying out great beers it's much easier to get down the stairs than up them... just, you know, try not to roll down them.

Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking.
