    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

You can order drinks directly at the bar or find an open seat and have a server take your order. It took us about 10 minutes of walking around before we finally found a table. Although the service was a little slow at first because of how busy it was, once we were helped, the experience was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The food is definitely on the pricier side, but it's well worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the martinis were especially impressive. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline, The View Lounge is a great choice. The combination of great cocktails, tasty food, and the incredible city views makes it a place I'd happily visit again.

Servers were frequently walking around attending to all the tables. We loved everything we ate except the tuna ( we didn't like the sauce) the tuna was great we just didn't like the sauce For drinks we had the Garden Fizz, Paloma, and Lycheetini. All wonderful For food we had : charcuterie board, prawn cocktail ( HUGE prawns and my second favorite dish), ahi tuna tataki, chicken adobo tacos and the Prosciutto flatbread ( my favorite!) For dessert we shared the Ube Crème Brûlée I wanted to try the house made chips cause they looked delicious but I was too full. Definitely a great place to come and celebrate!

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

The view is absolutely gorgeous from indoors, with wraparound floor to ceiling windows giving you a panoramic view of the city. Setting is a lot more intimate and cozy. The menu is only one side, leaving no frills but something for every diet. They have a live DJ playing music making this restaurant truly the perfect place to start your weekend. We ordered the roasted bone marrow and chicken caesar salad for our appetizers. Both great and pretty filling together, the portions for the salad were more than generous. We ordered the mushroom risotto and braised short rib for our main entrees. The mushroom risotto had the perfect amount of parmesan and butter, this alone was filling enough. Short rib was pretty dry, paired well with the risotto but overall we could've done without. The staff is quick to refill your drinks but the food does come out pretty slowly, highly recommend ordering everything at once so you're not waiting for your entrees. Would come again but book a reservation in advance for the outdoor seating.
