    Us in the game room. I covered everyone face out of courtesy.

    I learned about this place through a video and I was in charge of finding an alternative activity for our rafting plans and decided on this. It's $45/person but I found a deal on groupon 14 people for $313? If you commute is by car, be prepared to pay for parking. I parked at Airgarage $10/hourly, max $25 daily unless you can find a better one. Since we were a big group, it was really easy for us to get into the mood of competitiveness. Our host also made the atmosphere really great. From testing your knowledge skills to testing your luck, all factors will determine your chances of victory. Needless to say, I think is a great experience and we all had lots of fun! Though I would suggest getting the groupon deal as it could be a bit expensive for some people.

    Went for a team onsite and it was a lot of fun! They give you a host and an hour full of really fun back to back games. The games were creative and a ton of fun. Good wholesome night out. A little pricey for what it is but i would suggest it for birthdays or corporate offsites

    It was pouring in SF and we actually saw this at the California Welcome Center in Pier 39. I've always wanted to be in a game show and this was so fun! There were only 2 of us but I'm super competitive so it was right up our alley! The variety of games was really fun and gave both of us chances to win. Godavari, our host, kept us very engaged even with just the two of us. Thank you! We want to come back with a bigger group :)

    Came here with a group of 14 and wow was this an awesome experience! Good: - Live host, who had great segues! - Such a diverse mix of activities, lots of things that were a mix of luck, reaction time, skill! - The team v team aspect was so so fun and we pre split up teams - The production value was insane. So smooth and felt like well worth the time. - My friends bonded, laughed, jumped in anticipation and screamed at all moments. 10/10 Bad: - That it ended so soon! Overall I loved this game show experience, it was like being on a show but without actually being on live TV.

Of course I was going to write this anyways, mostly to brag about what a fun time I had! My friend invited me to Eco-System, a co-working space where they did a demonstration and video recording of this fantastic corporate trivia tool. The emcees were energetic, and at first I was like, "Oh god, I hate cheesy games," but I totally got into it. There were three rounds of various questions. They were creative and well-written... more critical thinking than needing to know random facts. I'm not that great at trivia but was still able to answer a good number of questions. And best of all, there's "Smartass Responses!" Basically if you KNOW you don't know the answer to something, you can type a smartass answer, and if it gets a laugh from the audience, you get a silly prize. Just the engagement of all different knowledge levels is impressive. There wasn't a dull moment, and even though we were only allowed to use one person's Smartphone, all the mechanics worked out well. I hope to find a purpose for hiring The Big Quiz Thing. Fortunately and unfortunately I work remotely, so I can't exactly organize a corporate team-building event. I just want to have this experience all over again. So glad my friend invited me, and I would highly recommend them!

Inside, though, the brewery keeps its own identity and focus. They don't offer a huge beer list, but what they do brew is very, very good. The emphasis is clearly on quality over quantity. The beers are exceptionally well balanced and thoughtfully crafted. My favorite was the dark beer Old Time Bock & Roll, a collaboration with Armistice Brewing Company. This Double Decocted Doppelbock is smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced -- a real Doppelbock in the traditional sense. Deep malt character, rounded body, structured yet easy to drink. Exactly what the style should be. The beer was served properly, at the right temperature but not in the correct glassware, by a cordial and enthusiastic staff member who clearly enjoys what they're pouring. That attention to service makes a difference. Overall, a great brewery stop in a very touristic area -- focused selection, excellent balance, and beers brewed with real respect for style. I'll definitely return for another Doppelbock.

What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. 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.

I want to try their Shepherd's Pie next time, and my husband wants to get the bangers and mash. He was hoping they had a scotch egg, but that's the one item not on the menu. Oh, and some sticky toffee pudding would be awesome! The only downside was a large party of eight people with screaming children. We can't seem to escape that in restaurants lately--even in a pub.

    I hate leaving negative reviews, but my experience with the owner of this bar was so upsetting that…read moreI feel compelled to share it. I'm currently living in San Francisco for six weeks while caring for my father, who is recovering from a double lung transplant at UCSF. It's been an emotionally exhausting time, and I was excited to find a neighborhood bar within walking distance where I could occasionally relax and decompress. I first discovered this bar after a trip to Trader Joe's. During that visit, the bartenders, especially Chris, and the rest of the staff were welcoming, friendly, attentive, and wonderful. Based on that experience, I was looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, my interactions with the owner have been the complete opposite. On my second visit, the owner repeatedly ignored me while I was trying to order. When he noticed my service dog, who was leashed, quietly sitting beside me, and causing absolutely no disruption, he loudly yelled across a crowded bar, "Get your dog out of here." I calmly explained that he is a service dog. The owner immediately rolled his eyes and demanded to know what service my dog provides. Because I did not feel comfortable disclosing personal medical information to a room full of strangers, I asked if I could privately show documentation instead. He became increasingly hostile, telling me that he "knew his rights" and that I "didn't know anything," while continuing to demand an explanation. Feeling embarrassed and cornered, I reluctantly answered his question. He rolled his eyes again and asked, "What do you want?" When I ordered a Corona, he responded by pointing his finger in my face and saying, "You mean you want a Corona PLEASE." He refused to serve me unless I repeated the order exactly as he demanded. I was shocked, humiliated, and left the bar in tears. Several patrons nearby apologized to me and expressed how uncomfortable they were witnessing the interaction. A few days later, I decided to give the bar a second chance and brought my partner with me. My partner was seated with my service dog while I walked to the bar to order. The owner immediately recognized me and once again said, "Get your dog out." I calmly reminded him that we had already had this conversation and that I had previously explained my dog's service role. He responded by asking whether I was providing a service to the dog or whether the dog was providing a service to me. After I again explained the situation, he asked what I wanted to order. I ordered two dirty gin martinis, and before I could even finish speaking, he began walking away. When he returned with the check, I asked him to keep the tab open. He again corrected me and said I needed to say, "Keep it open PLEASE." At that point, I asked why he seemed to treat me this way every time I came in. His response was, "Piss off. Finish your martini and you're never allowed back here again. Get out." Once again, I left in tears. Once again, nearby patrons appeared shocked by the way I was being treated. I've worked in professional environments my entire career and strive to treat everyone with kindness, patience, and respect. I was never rude, disruptive, or confrontational. I simply wanted to enjoy a drink at a neighborhood bar while accompanied by my service dog. The bartenders and staff were wonderful. My experience with the owner, however, was one of the most humiliating and hostile customer service experiences I have ever had.
