I have been here for a drink a couple of times during the week. It's an old school Irish pub. The bar is beautiful, especially the wood ceiling. I have not tried the food. The drinks and service are good. A good place to watch sports on TV. read more

Came here on a weekday and there were actually many people there for a midday drink the later in the afternoon it got. The staff were very nice and attentive as soon as I arrived and waited for a friend. We ordered the fish and chips and the chicken club sandwich with tater tots. The fish and chips was one big fish with plenty of fries. However, the club sandwich was a bit smaller and the tater tots portion was much smaller than the fries that came with the fish. It was so small that there was not enough to go with the whole Club sandwich. The club sandwich was good but there was more chicken and less shreddings and avocado than I would have liked. For two people, the bill came out to about $60 including tip, and the bill also included a 5% employer mandate. Overall, the place is spacious and many people were there for salads, sandwiches, and beers with their colleagues and friends. This place has a good vibe. read more

This review is primarily for the Banana Daiquiris. It is so flipping good that I reordered it. It is the perfect balance of banana, buttery, and sweet without it being syrupy. 10/10 will recommend. Their fried food is also bomb. Love their tater tots, popcorn gochugaru chicken and fried pickles. But seriously try their banana daiquiris. read more

Great food, good service, and good beer choices. If you're in the financial district, come early for lunch, they open at 11AM.

Tonight I was randomly walking the streets of San Francisco in search of a meal to quench my pains of hunger. Yelp directed to a location with a lovely burger (fried egg on top). When I arrived, the vibe was, to say the least, flaccid. I continued my journey walking up and down the streets and in the distance, around the corner, I spied with my little eye a bit of buzz and activity. Three apparent establishments with some activity happening. One was DOA when I looked through the window. The next was packed but reminded me of the frat house crawl I did in college -- that time I almost died of alcohol poisoning. Pre Uber and we had to call my buddy's sister to pick us up but I digress. The third choice was Harrington's. Harringtons Bar and Grill. This was simply amazing. With the memory of the "approved by marketing" burger with egg photo I went directly for the harrington's pub burger. Now this burger does not have a fried egg on it. I like the concept of a hangover burger but it's too early in the night to have egg yolk run down my hands. However, this burger exceeded my expectations and quenched my cravings. The Harrington's pub burger is wagyu beef, white American cheese, tomato, onion, butter lettuce, and special sauce. For the love of God (can I say that in San Francisco?) that sauce was top notch! I choose the fries over tots. Normally I skip both. Whatever salt contraption they applied to the fries immediately made me push the ketchup to the side. Ok. Are you still with me? I've saved the best for last. This place has delightful cocktails. I'm working tomorrow so I can only risk the consumption of not enough. The bartender QuiQue says these are his inventions. This guy needs to start a YouTube channel! I've not been impressed by cocktails in many moons (yes I traveled to Las Vegas for my favorite whiskey sour and was let down. Ok, I traveled there for work but my favorite whiskey sour still let me down) but this guy has pulled it off. My favorite tonight is the twisted Margarita. Delicious and spicy. You know... if I give away all the secrets of this place it will lose its allure. Just. Come. Eat. And. Drink! And if you are a beer person they have a bottomless Guiness everyday from 11-4! Please feel it out! Please remember to like and subscribe! It really helps us out here and costs you nothing. Oh. I'm drunk. The drinks ARE good! read more

Stopped in for after work drinks with old colleagues. Great place. Very comfy, friendly and a limited but appropriate menu perfect pub grub. The service was also fast and friendly read more

Drinks are way too expensive, and a low pour. My husband and I each got an Old Fashioned (mine with a normal mezcal, his bulleit rye), and they were both low pour, and came to $45.90 after tax/tip. I even had to go back in the tip function to tip $3/drink because the 20% auto-function would have bumped it well over $46/47 for the two drinks. And this was all at about 4pm on a Friday. We didn't get fancy drinks, it's not a fancy bar, and it was during happy hour hours. I've lived in SF for 17 years: $23/drink truly makes no sense, in particular for the vibe of bar that Harrington's is. Right this second at Total Wine in the city, a 750mL bottle of Bulleit costs $22.99. An entire bottle. Please stop overcharging customers. Please. read more

Always a mainstay after work when I worked downtown. Came back and it's as good as ever. Same scene and cocktails with what seems like a better menu, or maybe the menu just doesn't have the stains. Service was also great (shoutout to Miles and Zach) despite it being a busy night. Nice to see all the Front Street mainstays back! read more

Here's the thing: a review on Yelp tells you more about the writer than the business. For me, stepping back into Harrington's is like hugging a friend you haven't seen for years. I've been going to this joint for literally decades. How long, you ask? A story: one day my high school buddy Alberto and I decide to meet there for a drink. I confess I don't have cash on me and ask if he can cover. He's skint too. This is a very long time ago. You may want to sit down for this part: it was before ATMs. If you needed cash for the weekend, you had to go to the bank before 3pm on Friday, or else you were impecunious for the duration. Alberto and I pool our cash and find we have about 3 bucks. Harrington's was selling an oil can of Foster's for - $2.75 So we shared one and left. When I walked through those doors on Friday, of course I'm emotional and relieved. Because of all the memories. See the 3rd weird photo here? That shows the shelf in the corner where a TV used to sit, before there were flat screens. The set was about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep, hence the shelf. Probably had to stand on a chair to change the channel. The new TV is a definite improvement, as is the new fancy ceiling, but most things have been left alone by the new management. The server Finola says she was there before, the ones I remember are Joanne, Jennifer, and "the young one" Jeannette. She was efficient and easy to talk to. Drinks were good, the menu is slimmed down but looked to be the standard Harrington's fare. The pandemic and general en&*^%ification of San Francisco has cost us many institutions and excellent places to go. To see Harrington's rise from the ashes, albeit with new management, is a red-letter day for downtown drinkers and diners. read more

Had a private party for UCSF where they closed the bar down for just us. I was a guest not a worker for UCSF so I can't speak for setting it up but the drinks were good and finger foods amazing. We had mozzarella sticks, tater tots, sliders that were very juicy and some kind of chicken bites I did not have. Staff was amazing and we closed the place down. They actually stayed a ridiculous amount after closing so we could continue to enjoy. Five stars! read more

Never coming here for Oktoberfest again, sat at the bar for 30+ minutes getting ignored trying to order a drink ‍

It was alright. Our server was nice. I had the Cobb salad. It was good. Nothing special. Drinks were expensive with a very light pour, so that was pretty disappointing. It's a cute place and I appreciate its history, but I don't think I would go back again. read more

Since it has changed hands it's not an Irish pub any more. Over priced and menu is pedestrian

Absentmindedly left my cell phone on bar after lunch, the awesome server ran nearly a city block to return it to me! Reinstated my faith in humanity! Didn't get her name, but this was 7/30/25 about 11:30am. Thank you so much, looking forward to my next visit‼Btw, the Rueben egg rolls were fabulous read more

One of the last unpretentious bars in SF where you can sit at the bar, order a beer and get some wings. Trust me, harder to find then you think. Not like amazing food but it was the exact vibe I was looking for. Been here 3 times. No complaints. Check em out. Max and cheese hit the spot. Also worth noting really good service. They didn't just ignore me they let me know ASAP bartender will serve me soon etc read more

I went to this bar because I know the owner -I'm just confused on the prices? How is a shot of Tito 17$ w cash is it a different price with a credit card? read more

What a great place!! After many years being closed, this Historic Irish Pub & Grill finally reopened under new ownership. I was there for the Grand Reopening for St.Patricks Day last March and have been back many times ever since... The food is delish, original Irish Pub fares, and full bars. The staff is super friendly and professional. Great atmosphere to hold special occasion dinner parties or just to hang out with friends and family. Plus, a destination to hang out watching sports events with many tv screens throughout the two large dining rooms and 2 full bars. Favorite destination downtown!! My new hangout destination!! A++++ Go check it out, say 'Hi' and stay for a pint of Guinness... and more!! read more

Harrington's may have history but it's lost its charm for me and my recent experience has left much to be desired. While the atmosphere maintains its classic pub appeal, the service was noticeably lacking from the start..Although we are locals, we we were actually staying in the city this week for a conference we decided to enjoy a nice night out after a long day to watch the Warriors play so we decided to stop by Harringtons as we haven't been disappointed before..We purchased 2 drinks, 2 appetizers, and 2 entrees to wind down and just relax.... The staff wasn't particularly friendly, the server was new and not really knowledgeable but in training..I think it would have been better if the "senior server" who was training him as he kept referring to him as would have been with him vs him having to walk away each time to ask a question as it was obvious he was still learning the menu..all the food was great until my friend who had expressed that she was not fan of spicy food noticed that her fish burrito was too spicy so tried to pick around it but eventually couldn't tolerate the spice level..when she politely requested a replacement for an entrée that was overly spicy, the new server stated "do you want some more water?" and that he needed to ask his senior server which then turned into a 5 min discussion with the bartender they were unwilling to accommodate and was told no. This inflexibility and lack of hospitality overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable outing. Customer service is an essential aspect of any dining experience, and unfortunately, Harrington's fell short in this regard. While some patrons may have better luck, my visit did not live up to the reputation this establishment has built over the years. read more

Bad service and a the food was a rip off. After being told the order would take 15 min to make I wasn't even offered a glass of water while I waited. I paid $18 for a shepherds pie that looked half eaten. Ambiance would be better if the staff didn't get so overwhelmed by the lunch rush. I was looking forward to this place reopening, but I'm very disappointed. read more

Harrington's Bar and Grill - Irish Pub - $18 for a leaky shepherds pie that looked half eaten. Not worth the money - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

Deceptive 5% Fee Beer was cold, service was fine. Beware this restaurant charges a deceptive 5% "SF Employer Mandate" fee. This isn't a real tax and there is no legal requirement for a fee to be itemized like this. SF restaurants have to provide health insurance for employees and owners decided to itemize a "SF fee" so they could lure customers in with lower prices and hit them with a bigger bill at the end. Bake the cost of business into your prices, please. These junk fees are deceptive and malicious. read more

Staff were friendly. Food was decent, good beer selection. Lots of different options but this one is good nearby

Such a fun bar - great vibes, excellent service and the food is insanely good for being bar food. Don't let the reviews deter you they are from before the re-opening. Love this place. read more

If your looking for an Irish Bar this ain't it. The food is terrible and the bar service sucks. It's a shame because it used to be really great. The Irish coffee I had was $16 + tax and SF fee and had canned cream with some chocolate sprinkles and no taste if whiskey in it. The Bartender couldn't care less about serving. He stands at one end and was just b.s.ing with his friends. This place is a complete and total joke. Too bad. read more

This is a cool historic bar in DT SF. I had gone a number of times before the pandemic but it was closed for over 3 years after pandemic started. They finally reopened last year and it has become one of my favorite places. At 1st the food was just ok but recently they revamped their menu and the food really improved. My favorite is the fried fish burrito. I would even say it's one of the best burritos in SF. It's made w/o rice so the fish really stands out. It is a little spicy though even w/o the salsa the give you on the side. The mozzarella sticks are also good. So is the Mac and cheese. The vibe is classic, historic SF. However,being DT, it also attracts younger workers in the area. They have several tv screens showing various sports games. It's actually 2 bars: The "light side" and the "dark side". The dark side is always open but the light side is not always open except for special or private events. The service is friendly esp Keekay and Tony and Bianca plays great 80's music off her playlist. It's so amazing that the current owner has managed to maintain the historic feel of the place while making it also hip and modern. read more

Im so glad they reopened post covid, Vintage and classic with a crunchy soft boiled scotch egg that has me craving it at random times of the day. Dim lighting with enough for the games and to not poke an eye out on the dart board which is a nice touch. Guniess is also standard with friendly service that made me want to push them past that undervalued 2.8 stars. . read more

Harrington's Bar is OPEN! We had a fantastic weekend starting with the Harrington's street block party Friday, March 15 -- best food, drink, music, and camaraderie! Thank you for coming back Harrington's! Can't wait to come back! read more

Staff was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. Some of the worst service I have received. Do not recommend coming here.

The Legend has reopened! Has the same character and strong drinks, but a more refined menu that includes the old favs. Will once again become my go to for Happy Hour in the Fidi. read more
