Absolutely one of the best, most unique bars I've been to. My boyfriend and I came on a Saturday night and it was a vibe from the second we walked in. Porn clips inserted into videos playing on the walls, water beds, jacuzzi seats, literally everything a dad's 70s garage would have. The music was amazing and we loved the staff, will definitely be back! read more

So this is definitely a dive bar, and I mean that in a great way. I really like the way the place looks inside, with car seats used as booths. The drinks weren't overpriced and the service was good also. I think this might be my next regular spot once I return to normal working hours again. read more

Was wondering around and stumbled in. Such an interesting bar. We sat in jacuzzi seats and just looked around the bar. I love a unique bar. The DJ was playing hyper pop and gave tumblr 2010 energy. I loved it. I'll be back. read more

Kozy Kar - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

Such a quirky and unique place, everywhere you look you'll find something bizarre. There's a waterbed, jacuzzi style seating, interesting bathroom signs, an old timey pong ball machine game. Me and my friends had a great time here simply interacting/enjoying the surroundings of the bar. The drinks (at least the cocktails) were not the best and service was just okay. read more

More of a novel place to visit. The strong scent of incense reminded me of a grandmas house. My friends took me to this spot since I'm visiting SF. There's a waterbed seating area by the entrance (looks like the fir shag cover needs to be washed) and a booth area made with old jacuzzi parts. A place with a lot of personality. And disco lights. Posters of naked ladies covers the entire place- floors, walls, tables, everywhere. Boobs and weenies everywhere you look. Definitely not somewhere I'd come back to regularly but it was a fun place to visit. The p*rn on the tvs was shocking lol. Honestly I'd recommend checking out this unique bar but maybe not for everyone. The bathroom door is just a curtain. Btw the bras you see at the bar are donated by the community. I was told you can just offer up yours on the spot if you want!! read more

I really think everyone needs to check this place out at least once because it is like no other place. Reminded me of a bar in Williamsburg, very weird and fun. You walk in and theres a water bed to the left, look up and its decorated with playboy pinups as well as the floors. The lights are all red and bras and panties hanging along the bar. Chairs along the bar are car seats and other weird shit. in the back of the place is where you need to go. There are sections for bigger parties. Theres an RV, theres a couple tables inside a covering but the best one is an open jacuzzi that seats about 4 with a table in middle. Grab your drinks and head to the back and laugh at all the weird shit. SO, grabbing the jacuzzi comes with a tv behind you that shows music videos and then cuts to porn for like 15 seconds after like a minute of music. Goes from a Madonna video to some lady suckin away! Pretty funny stuff. Watching peoples faces makes the time. read more

My friends and I came here after going to a wine bar on a Saturday night and it was definitely the most unique bar I've been to in SF! It's a super quirky bar with waterbeds and very interesting decor that is definitely not for the faint of heart. It was pretty crowded around 10pm but still not too crowded where you couldn't get around. Overall would recommend for a fun and different atmosphere to grab a drink. read more

This is the worst establishment I have ever been to. My friends wallet was stolen by a patron and/or employee of Kozy Kar. Also I got bed bugs from their nasty bathroom. This place is filthy, if you are a girl STEER CLEAR. read more

Swanky porn vibes stiff drinks bad ass bartenders ...everything you want and didn't know you wanted from a classic dive. 9/10 recommend

There was a single roach crawling on my friend while we were having drinks at the bar!!!! We closed our tab immediately and left. Enter at your own risk. The service was great though. read more

Sad to give a 1 star because I've actually come here multiple times and had a good experience, but this last time I'm pretty sure one of the staff's friends that were the last people in the bar other than us stole my phone. I played the sound to locate my phone when lost, and a noise went off on him and everyone then looked at him. He played it off like his phone was ringing and answered it, but he really just muted the noise because when I was playing the noise after that you couldn't hear anything, but my phone's location was saying it was in the bar. They rushed me to leave because they were closing and wanted to go home, and so we waited out front for all of them to leave to see if my phone's location was updated once they left. After 20 minutes, the friends of the bartenders, who I think stole my phone, walked out, looked at us, and quickly started to jump in a car. However, before they got in the guy asked if anyone wanted to buy molly or cocaine off of him. After that, my phone's location stopped responding, and later, it said it was in a different part of the city. We got the guy's license plate and reported it to the police, but all this to say don't go here. Yes, the staff were nice and let me look for it after they closed, and said to contact their Instagram to see if the cleaners found it the next day BUT their friend was in there the whole time and it was obvious he had my phone after the noise went off on him. Yet no one did anything and they said we had to leave because it wasn't there. read more

I was very pleased at the fast service and tasty drink options at this niche bar in Polk Gulch. The ambiance was perfect to bring my date after we had an amazing dinner at Fiorella up the street (which was also amazing). 10/10 would highly recommend. I'm definitely sending all my friends here. read more

I stopped in with a friend just to spend time together. I ordered a drink then was told to leave they were closing. As we were leaving bartender angrily stated as we were walking out the door we closed you need to hurry up and leave. So rude and unacceptable there were still patrons in the bar. This is not job for him. read more

Everything a dive bar should be! Love the interesting seating options. Kozy Kar is always a good night out with friends.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Staff are completely unprofessional and harassed a group of girls near us and kicked them out quite agressively when they weren't entertaining the harassment. The place is also unhygienic with no doors on the bathroom stalls, only curtains that don't close all the way. Very strong incense smell but the real issue is the staff. If you are a group of women checking out bars in SF, stay away from Kozy Kar. read more

Kozy is a must go in SF!!! The bartenders are awesome and always so much fun! There is great music and it is always so much fun! My personal fav is the hot tub booth! read more

TL;DR - Must go institution in SF! You have to go here if you're visiting SF!!! This is an iconic place because it truly is a reminder of how weird SF used to be and how weird it still is. Mind you - there is porn that plays on the tvs. There's tons of weird and unique booths and seatings. You have a small dance floor. The drinks are cheap. The area this bar is located gives you options. Honestly, never had a bad time here. read more

Rude workers. Bartender looked at my friend in a rude manner ordering an AMF. Workers were also forceful

Fascinating... Waterbeds to lounge in... 80s TV commercials with pornography spliced in... Bar with pictures of nude ladies... Booths with Jacuzzi seating... And decor that I wouldn't call pro-feminists... The crowd is typical 20s-30s San Franciscan hipsters...I wonder how they all afford to live here. The bachelor party and I were pretty drunk by the time we arrived, but I do remember that 2 Stellas, 2 tequila shots, and an Old Fashioned ran $38, which I don't think is too terrible for San Francisco. read more

If you go there, be aware that you deal w dangerous, stupid people. A staff member lost his mind after I slapped the pinball machine that was not working, the ball got stuck and he refused to help. I did not shake the machine or anything crazy. I then got assaulted by 4 men, for no reason, a guy who said to be the owner punched me and threw me to the ground. I was trying to de-escalate the situation the whole time but he was insulting me non stop until I left the place throwing my glass on the floor . if you go there, be aware, this is dangerous. read more

Was here with my friends we had like two drinks and then when I left outside for a smoke the bouncer said I was too drunk to go back in which I was not and at the time my tab was still opened and after my friend got my card back for me I had a charge of 300 dollars on it and when I said to the bouncer wtf is going on I want to go back in and ask the bartender he punched me in the nose 3 times which made me bleed so definitely don't go there the bouncer will threatened or assault you, if you had the same experience as me please let others know. read more

Kozy Kar is a unique place. Cheap beers, bras hanging above the bar, old half cars with worn out seats to sit in, pictures of older era playmates on the bar, a loop of 70s TV shows mixed in with porn, etc. People that love themes and kitsch would probably like it here. I wish it opened earlier so I could come here right after work (opens at 7) but it's not an after work kinda bar rather more of a dark divey drinking den until the wee hours type of place. read more

This place was very interesting! It's a unique bar that has a total 70s vibe to it. They don't have any beers on tap and don't have any specials. They have a few beers in bottles and then of course a full bar with alcohol for your choice of mixed drinks. They take card and cash. But I did enjoy the aesthetic in there! Super cool! They have seating that is very different from any bar I've seen. One is like an old car and another one is an old jacuzzi. They have a few small screens throughout the bar playing porn clips which I thought was funny and very different. Overall it was a cool spot! read more

Wow, what the fuck bar did I just go to? I can't say I didn't enjoy myself, as Kozy Kar was a very unique SF experience I would never have in San Diego. In fact, I don't think this bar could exist in very many cities around the US. But it totally works in the SF. Would I go back? Probably not. Just not my scene. It'd probably be cool to take some people here as a group as Tim K. pointed out. With waterbeds & 70's porn playing on the TV, it's definitely unique. But Tim also said it was the worst rum & coke in his life. I stuck to beer and was happy about that decision. So yeah, good for a laugh but not a bar you'd see me at regularly if I lived in SF. read more

My friend once said, "Everyone is a pervert...EVERYONE." If you claimed not to be, than you were are a "LIAR". His words. Not mine. As a former Catholic school girl, growing up, I was very shy and innocent. Despite my cray cray Yelp persona, I'm still that "shy and innocent" girl inside. Seriously. Just ask my dad. And then came, Kozy Kar... HOLY F*CK! Titties all over the walls, on the floor, in the bathroom, bouncing on the TV screens....my eyes got more exercise than at 24 Hour Fitness (I took a pic of the XXX wall but it's NSFW and the last thing I want is HR cracking the whip on you.) It doesn't stop there... Stripper pole, jacuzzi, shagged covered motion in the ocean waterbeds, vintage VW seats and even a "love shack" inside a converted VW van. Black light time! And I don't mean for a rave party. It may be tacky. It may retro cheesy. It may be a bit dingy. But I f*cking loved it! Where else can you sip a stiff drink while watching money shots while c*ck 'n cuddling on a waterbed? Only IN Kozy Kar. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/TqPNHkYhk3t-hUPQHW2JVA?select=Kh2rlSxauaDGbNADE4u4HQ#YjN65iCBjGXygWdMo4ER3A I enjoyed every moment there especially all the "eyes" looking at me! Yeup, I AM A PERVERT. *Le Sigh* OTHER NOTES: *Stiff cocktails: $7-$8 *5 drinking alcoves (e.g. waterbeds, VW van, jacuzzi, etc) *70s-80s movies playing with soft porn mixed in *Small dance floor *Marina-type crowd *Two restroom stalls with changing room curtains *Credit cards accepted read more

Fun and raunchy bar in the Polk area. Good place to hit up if you are planning to get HamTown. I only give it 4 stars out of 5 becuase any type of alliteration with K is too close for comfort, IMO. Also, they would not fix up a Schlitz Cocktail when I ordered one. (Note: A Schlitz Cocktail is a can of Schlitz beer served with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It's delicious! If Schlitz is unavailable, you can use PBR as a substitute. Also, I've found Olympia works well.) read more

Kind of a grimy place. Interesting decor - bras on the ceiling, naked prints tiled on the floor, random nostalgic items throughout the bar. Bar tender was mad when I didn't tip much and gave me an attitude about it. Would not return. Long Island Iced Tea was strong. Vodka cran was watery. read more

I had to check out the Kozy Kar for myself last Friday so I headed over there with a friend for Happy Hour. It was pretty empty around 4:30 p.m. with a couple people here and there. The bartender was a real funny guy and laughed when my friend tried to order a Newcastle. No beers on draft and the wine comes in boxes, the white wine isn't chilled but I'm sure they will offer up some ice. I moved around a few times since there was so much room. The waterbed seats were cold and a little awkward to sit on but I laughed while squirming to stay in my seat. The seats at the bar are a little too close to the counter and kept banging my knees. There are no purse hooks either, but I think they are working on that. My big peeve was the bathrooms, the door is open and there are curtains on the stalls instead of doors. You cant really knock on a curtain and I felt a little uncomfortable. It was okay, definitely a different place that has a fun feel to it. Maybe I'll go back in a few months after the kinks are worked out. read more

This is one of my favourite dives in the city. If it isn't a dive, I don't know how else to describe it. As soon as you walk in, there is a water bed immediately to your left. Decently comfy but kinda awkward to sit on with a large group of friends. Next down the long hallway is the bar. Above the bar is lined with lingerie, kinda weird kinda funny. The bars serves good drinks, standard pricing. Walk to the back, and you have a dance area with a bunch of unique booths. One of the booths has access to another water bed! My favourite memory from here is definitely when the bartender lined up at least 10 Jaegerbomb drop shots. And then they turned on a little alarm at the back that I never knew existed that they said they play for their favourite group of the night. read more

Ian and Benny were great hosts! It was my first time and very cool very chill! Affordable as well!

If you're looking for a fun bar with a funky atmosphere this is for you! if you're looking for A-class, artsy-fartsy cocktails -- this isn't the place for you! I read a lot of reviews about the bouncer and the staff behind the bar being rude/kicking people out for absurd reasons but didn't experience nor witness any of that when I came here! I found the bouncer to just sit there and check my ID, which is technically his job, and I found the bartenders to be extremely friendly and we even joked a bit about me getting kicked out but I never felt threatened nor was i kicked out lol I also wouldnt classify this place as "classy" which is one of the reasons I personally wanted to come here. The decor is 70s themed with old vans and hot tub jacuzzi cut in half that serve as booths (short dresses and skirts beware). On the TVs you catch quick glimpses of 90s porn, was pretty disappointed it wasn't 70s porn to stay on theme but oh well! All in all, I would definitely return with friends with an open mind but in no way shape or form would I bring one of my parents or family members here (that would be awk) read more

All I'll say is I ordered my friends drink and then went back to order mine and I'm 99.9% sure I got roofied by either the bartender or someone by me. I blacked out after that drink and I wasn't even drunk when I first got there. I'm definitely not going back. I'm writing now because I couldn't remember what the bar was called and just found out. Just be safe out there people. read more

This is the most incredible dive bar in San Francisco. Snag a seat in a waterless hot tub or converted GMC Van with a bed in the former trunk. Anyone saying a bartender was "rude" is clearly not accustomed to the dive bar scene. It's loose, it's raw, it's Kozy read more

I have never seen so many bartenders laugh at their own jokes in place of serving customers. They referenced Interview With A Vampire the TV show pretty consistently, so I would probably recommend seeing that before coming into the bar. 5/5 stars read more

It's honestly sad that I have to write this review over the POS staff who are compete a holes. And after reading other reviews, I definitely would have never even gone here. We came here because it was "on our list" of places to visit. BIG MISTAKE! We asked the bartender if we could charge a phone while consuming a couple drinks. After hanging out and having a couple drinks, all while leaving an extremely generous tip, we went to grab the phone from the charger behind the bar. The bartender's screamed at us, threw our drinks out and said "that's not liberal of you". Then told us we had to get out all because we grabbed out phone from the charger. I was completely taken back by this behavior. Insane to me. I asked for my tip back out of principle and was called a dick and told to get the fuck out. Whatever. Dont go here. Its not "kozy." Go to the Saloon instead. It's worth the drive. Better environment, great service and live music. Oh..and our phone was locked after leaving it with those guys. Sketch and untrustworthy. read more
