    Ah this place is special. Lorraine was such a great bartender. Lucky to have a place like this still around. My party really enjoyed our food. My burger was alittle dry but I'm thinking they thought I was vegan and not vegetarian hence they forgot the cheese. The roasted tomato is a good touch to the burger. Good menu, good drinks and kind service. Definitely stop by if you get the chance. Clean bathrooms too!

    Legit Irish pub, but with a lot of TV screens for sports broadcasts. There was a 49ers game the day we stopped by and lots of patrons wearing SF gear, so I guess it's popular on game day. Not cheap though. A Guinness and a shot of Red Breast is $26 before tip. Even by SF standards this seems too high.

    Such a great place! The spirit and camaraderie from the guests, and the ambiance from the staff make you want to come back over and over again. Special shout out to Mel, for going above and beyond, and for making me feel more than welcome!

    Went for a work event. Staff is incredibly kind and hard working, despite us being quite loud and boisterous. Food and drinks are great, had a Long Island Iced Tea. My friends notably enjoyed the Scooby Snacks and the Adios, MF.

    Beer. Liquor. Televisions.

    First of all, why am I at a bar at 2pm on a Tuesday? Let that sink in. Can't really fault much here. Found just was I was looking for: an Irish Pub. It's properly dim, although not much natural light could penetrate the skyscrapers surrounding this cave. There is a mixed crowd pinned to a football (soccer) match between LIV and PSG, whoever the fudge they are. Liverpool and...Persnickety Soccer Guys, I guess. Soccer on 6 of the 8 tvs in this joint. The remaining 2 tvs are NBA analysis blah blah blah. The single bartender is working the entire establishment while doing prep for the evening shift. That's standard. There are 3 females in the bar, including the bartender, and one male/female couple. Why am I describing the mundane details of what is practically every bar in America at 2pm? Because I'm at a bar. And it's 2pm. Maybe you should ask yourself why you're still reading this. Huh? Yeah, I thought so. This is my way of contributing to, um, America? You are welcome, America. You can thank me in beer. I'll take a raincheck, I got a ferry to catch. That's a boat, in case you're listening to my audio-only review, available at most nowheres.

    The Irish bar is very crowded inside, old fashioned decorations and elements for the holiday seasons. I've tried the tequila shot there, and it was very ordinary.

    My wife and I dropped by Sam's Tavern to watch a few World Cup games and it was just the vibe we…read morewere looking for. I stopped by around 4:30 p.m. and there were a few tables where I saw folks finishing up their work day on their laptops with a beer. It's neither overly crowded, nor overly loud, which is perfect for getting work done. Since it was the World Cup and many guests would be camping out for the entire match, table service has a per person minimum spend of $25. This is a really a non-issue because a cocktail is around $15, so two drinks, or one drink with some food, will easily hit this minimum. My wife and I shared crispy pork schnitzel ($17) and an order of their deviled eggs ($12). The deviled eggs were nicely seasoned and included a small salad shrimp on top for some variety. The pork schnitzel was perfectly fried and the potatoes in the included side-salad was well-cooked and not over dressed. I would recommend enjoying the schnitzel with some mustard. Both drinks that I ordered -- an Old Fashioned and a Boulvardier, were well prepared. No notes here. Service here was top notch. Throughout our stay, our server checked up on us multiple times and we never had to wait long to place another order for drinks. Tipping options on the receipt include pre-calculated 18%, 20%, and 22% options (on top of the 5% SF Mandate). Last but not least, the restaurant had clean bathrooms and a bunch of large TV screens on every wall. If you're looking to watch a sports match, Sam's Tavern is the place to go!

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.

The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.

Great little bar in the FiDi, open late, and serves food late at night which is a huge plus. Even after a celebratory dinner, we couldn't resist getting the quesadilla here again - this place makes one of the best quesadillas I've had. Get it with guacamole, which they fold into the quesadilla. The drinks are good, and reasonably priced, especially for SF. Good selection of beers. When you walk in, you'll feel like you're on the deck of a ship - or like you've had a few too many - because the floor is slanted. Fun place, and draws in the local crowd. See you soon, Old Ship.

On our way out of town we decided to drop in here to finish of the weekend. It was late so parking was easy. We sat at the bar with only 1 or 2 other people in the whole place. You might think you've already had 7 to many when yoi walk in because years ago during some renovations the floor shifted and is uneven. Mr. Bartender was nice and the drinks were great. I think we shared a quesadilla. I love it when places serve food late at night. The rest of the food menu looked great with several items I'm looking forward to trying. More places need to serve food late at night. We originally thought this was our first time here but soon realized we have been here before multiple times. Prolly other late night stays in SF from when we were here daily. Prior to oir leaving the the bar got busy and multiple tables were filled. The really late night crowd had arrived, in mass. Nice to see after greasy newsom pretty much single handedly devastated the restaurant/bar scene in SF and elsewhere with his illegal draconian policies for a flu like illness that we all now know was delibrate on so many levels. But that's a different story for another time. Great to see this place survived. Like I said we've been here before but have only recalled it once we are in. No more. We talk about this place often and is on our radar to come back again and again.
