    Spicy margarita!
    Ada F.

    What a fun bar! My friends hosted his birthday party here and it was so neat that they made it a private event! Loved the ambiance here with the string and dimmed lighting, massive antelope decoration in the middle of the bar, and a cool second story lounge area upstairs with video games! Plenty of tv screens to watch things. I requested for a spicy margarita and the bartender made me one off the menu. She asked if I liked mango and honestly, this was one of the best spicy margaritas I've had! She definitely understood the assignment about making it spicy because she rimmed the glass with tajin and garnished with a jalapeno slice! I think we were both shocked how well it turned out considering she didn't have a recipe and used what was available. 10/10! I loved that they had this game with dropping a ball into numbered slots. My friend gave me one to play and I antiskid won the champagne bottle #9! That was super fun!

    Very chill little spot for drinks they also have plinko and darts for a little extra fun. The bartenders were nice and personable but I can't vouch for mixed cocktails because we had beers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was good, they have TVs and it was a younger chill crowd.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The area isn't too sketch so I'd pop in again for drinks with friends.

    Chill, mixology vibes, slight rustic look. Bartender was welcoming, BOGO shots from 5-7 for happy hour during the week. Didn't see any food available so that doesn't apply. All n all I enjoyed it and plan to return soon now that I'm mobile. Prices weren't outrageous either.

    Jackalope is a small but mighty bar. The space is minimal so it'll get cozy, but they have a few elements that make it stand out from the rest. First, there's a crow's nest area that you should take over as soon as you get there. They have a couple of screens where you can play old-school video games including Duck Hunt. For $11, you can play Plinko-Drinko with the best prize being a bottle of champagne IMHO. I rented out the bar for my birthday, and it was a lot of fun! I don't even remember them charging me a minimum, but this was pre-pandemic. If you're hitting up a concert at The Regency, it's a great place to pre-game.

    I came here last night with some friends, and the vibe was just perfect. They had some 90's throwback music on a Sunday night, and it wasn't crowded. Love the low lit atmosphere and decor! For any gamers, there's some arcades that we saw. We hungout at the high tables and our server was so sweet. The drinks were decently priced too. She surprised us with some fun cocktails! We'd definitely come back.

    Immaculent vibes however they do keep it a bit warm for the crowd. Exemplary if you run cold Do not ‍ follow fire marshal health codes but it's chill

    we won! tall boy and a shot of jame-o

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. On our way back down to SoCal my brother is still raving about the burgers, this is a MUST-STOP the next time we come up to San Francisco!!

    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!

    To celebrate America's 250th birthday, my friends and I decided to stop by Hardwood Bar & Smokery…read moreas it's one of the few BBQ establishments in SF. All seating is bar style with high tables hence the name "Hardwood Bar." The food was okay and I'd much rather go to Fikscue if I'm feeling BBQ next time to be honest. We shared ribs and each of us got an entree. One of my friends often orders from here for delivery and was excited to try it in person so that the food would be hot. Surprisingly, our tri tip and brisket came out slightly cold so it wasn't that different from delivery... The ribs were okay and not the most tender. Our server was great and service was good despite the restaurant being relatively full and served by one person. What I find the most perplexing is how they calculate the "SF mandate" fee and sales tax. I'm local to SF so I'm used to restaurants tacking on this "SF mandate"/"SF healthy mandate" fee, but their calculations just seem a bit off (see receipt). If we're calculating this correctly, 4% of $130.40 should be $5.22 and 8.63% of $130.40 should be $11.25. If you include the SF mandate fee in the tax calculation, then the $11.74 is right (if you include their calculation of the SF mandate fee). I'm not going to argue over a 50 cents or so but it's the principle of it! They should definitively state the actual % of 4.35% they're charging instead of just stating 4%. I mean at scale -- it adds up right? It rubbed me the wrong way for sure.
