I had an amazing experience at Norman Rose Tavern. As someone who's been on the hunt for truly good…read morefish and chips, I can finally say I found something worth calling the real deal. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the portion size felt fair for the price. The staff struck a great balance -- friendly and attentive without constantly interrupting the meal to ask if everything was okay. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. At one point, the music was slightly loud for my liking. Another guest politely mentioned it, and the staff immediately turned it down and made sure everyone was comfortable. That kind of responsiveness really stood out. What truly went above and beyond was what happened after I left. I had forgotten my hat on the seat, and instead of just putting it in lost and found, our waiter actually ran out of the restaurant and caught up with me before I crossed the street to the parking area. That level of care is rare and genuinely appreciated. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. I'd absolutely bring my family here -- kids included -- and would recommend it to anyone considering stopping by. .

Service needs improvement…read more We went to this tavern to watch the World Cup soccer game. I was with a party at four and our dog. We sat out on the patio, which was dog friendly, which was very nice My gripe is that the service was rather slow, and the server wasn't very friendly. The kicker was we were ordering off the happy hour menu, which goes until 6 PM, and around 5:30 we asked the server if he would come back in about 15 minutes so that we can get our last order in before 6 PM He came back at 5:55 and we ordered a few more things from the happy hour menu and he said "happy hour is over, you can no longer order off the happy hour menu." I asked him "how can that be? It's still 5:55. The menu clearly states that happy hour goes until 6 PM plus we asked you 30 minutes ago if you can come back in 15 minutes and you said yes." He said he was told that happy hour is over and he can't take any more happy hour orders I told him to ask his boss or whoever told him that to come over and explain it to us He said the owner told him that I asked him please have the owner come over and explain that to us He went over and talked to the owner and then came back and said I can take your happy hour orders But that's just uncalled for you. They have a happy hour to attract business and they need to honor it. If it's 'till 6 o'clock they gotta take happy orders 'till 6 o'clock. Cutting people off five minutes early just results in upset customers. It's poor way to run a business. Other than that, the place is OK Food was all right, nothing to write home about. I won't be coming back.

Also a recommendation from friends who's in the neighborhood. We ended taking an uber as we weren't quite sure where it was. Honestly we could have walked there....lol... It was pretty lively when we walked in. They're open till midnight I believe and we arrived about 10:30. It's not quite a dive bar but somewhat better. Theres two pool tables right when you walk in through the back. Theres the bar counter along one side. I think there's only one bar. Besides that, food is also served. A good crowd with locals when we arrived. Both pool tables were utilized and a line was set. Drinks, we got a couple of the Moscow mules which was informed that they only had one cups left. Guess people take them. A couple of those and beer and margaritas. They were quite nice. Kitchen was still open, so we put in for some good. Heard that their fish and chips were good so that was ordered and the fried pickles. Food didn't take long to arrive. Yes, the fish and chips were quite nice. Two big chunks of fish which was nice and flaky. Served with tater sauce and marinara. Fried pickles were ok, a little too salty for my liking but good. The place was fun. A lively crowd there for the same reason. Drinks and having fun. Pool table was getting utilized the whole time. Food was quite nice. A fun local bar.

Y'know, I've never been in here for a drink, much less a beer. Shocker, I know. That's because when…read moreI walk on Haight, as I often do, I usually go from the Upper to the Lower. That means when I'm shuffling toward Market Street and happen to be in the mood for a cocktail, I would've already made my stop in the Upper Haight at spots like Zam Zam or The Mad Dog in the Fog. So I'd be fully snockered by the time I get to this block. At least that's my story. However, even without a booze break, I still get hungry, especially on my way home in the late afternoon. I figured this would be the place to get a good pub burger, and I was right. They offer four burgers, and I went with the $18 Mushroom Swiss Burger. Accompanied by fries, the beef was medium rare and juicy in a fluffy brioche bun with aioli, sautéed mushrooms, melted Swiss, tomato, and lettuce (Photo 7). Standard, I know, but tasty and satisfying.

I actually used to live in the neighborhood and the last time I came here was back in the '80s, and it's great to see that it really hasn't changed much at all. The bartender was friendly and they had a good selection of beers on tap and in bottles. I stuck with beer, while my wife ordered a vodka soda and appreciated the generous pour. Overall, a great neighborhood bar to cool off and relax. Nice to see some places in the city stay true to themselves

I'd never had chicken and waffles before, I always thought that was a weird and silly combination, and I still think that. The waffle was okay, not crispy enough for my taste, but the honey butter served with it was very good. The standout though was the chicken. 2 deep-fried pieces that were as good of chicken as I have ever eaten in my life. The breading was flaky and crunchy while the chicken was moist and tender. I could've eaten much more as the pieces were rather small. When I was growing up, just about every restaurant I went to offered fried chicken, now I can't seem to find it anywhere. If you've been foolish enough or bored enough to read any of my other reviews, you know I don't eat beef, so I have a ton of chicken. This was some of the best.

With everything the bring to the table, there's something above average. For instance, the fish and chips is loaded with flavor. Maybe it's the starter sauce, or the fact the use some of their own beer in the batter. Maybe it's just that they use the best ingredients. The beef barley soup is pretty good in the same way. It wouldn't be right to brag about it but they could easily say "our food is better than yours" to most places in the neighborhood.

I enjoyed the addition of the crispy onions, and it had the perfect amount of dressing. My friend ordered the burger and said it was flavorful and the Gouda paired well with it.
