    Came here after work. Lots of tv. Have outdoor seatings and some tables inside but you can also seat at the bar area. They have free popcorn. They wr code for the restaurant next door but they are okay for you to bring outside food. As for the drinks, they have beers, cocktails, and wine or take a shot if you want too as well. They have a pool table and jukebox if you want to play music. The staffs are nice but they can get busy once the place started to get busy. Prices are decent/average.

    It's not the bar but the people. Worst bears bar ever. None of the "fans" are watching or care... they are rude and day drinking which could be done anywhere. It's prob the location... the Marina. If I move here, I'm creating a new bears bar. AND THE MIDDLE TV GLITCHES! So when the college kids are blocking you and you only have one tv.... It's ... uh.. painful. ! This is not it. None of this would be allowed in chicago. Maybe raise the volume of the tv?? No food, but you can bring it in. If there's another one, I'm game. I asked Reddit :( good beer/cider selection tho!

    Such a good place and vibe to have beer on Sunday and honestly even on the weekends for all the people that like complicated things please don't go!

    Went in during lunch for pick up. Clean, nice, games were on. Man behind the bar super sweet and…read morenice! Onion rings and fries were tasty and crispy! Loved them! Burger was good in my opinion. The bun was sturdy burger was tasty. Will try the specialty burgers next and veggies burgers! The office will come by more often for burgers and fries/onion rings. Also, UB sauce was like a tangy bbq ketchup all dressing sort of sauce! It was good! Don't hesitate to try it out!

    I wanted to like the food, but something about it will probably keep me from coming back…read more It was a downstairs bar that had football all around. We got here shortly after opening. They were out of a few things we wanted, which I could live with, but the food is what got me. Most of the reviews say the burgers were really good and the buns were good as well. I felt the buns might have been at the point where they were almost going stale. Like they wanted to be fresh, but something was holding them back from being fresh. Maybe if the buns had been warmed a bit, it would have helped. The onion rings weren't bad, a bit crunchy, more so than your average beer battered onion ring, but I suppose I would have to try them again to really say if I like them or not. I know it was early and it was a bar setting, but having to sit, not be given a menu, had to grab from a different table along the wall, go up and order, didn't sit well with me. Maybe it's just how the bar is? Not sure as I've never been. The bartender that took my order was nice and friendly. Decent place to watch a game? Sure, looking for a lunch spot for a quick bite? Probably not.

    Bartenders are absolutely the WORST On Thursday,, I was…read moreclearly sexually harassed by a man at the bar not once, but twice. He treated me disrespectfully and asked me something absolutely absurd. After he continued harassing me, I reacted by giving him a small slap across the face. Instead of taking what had happened seriously or making sure I was okay, Jason and Jesse decided to kick ME out of the bar and ban me, while the man who sexually harassed me was allowed to stay. What made the situation even more disturbing was the way they treated me afterward. They laughed in my face while telling me I needed to leave, and as I was walking out with my girlfriends who witnessed what happened they were laughing and calling me crazy to the group of friends that harassed me I understand that a bar may have policies regarding physical altercations, but the complete lack of concern for the harassment that led up to the situation was appalling. I was the woman who had been sexually harassed, yet I was the one removed and banned while the man who made sexually explicit comments toward me got to remain inside and was seemingly treated like a friend. Based on my experience at night, I absolutely would not consider this a safe or supportive environment for women. Being sexually harassed is already upsetting enough. Being laughed at and punished afterward while the person who harassed you is allowed to stay made the entire experience significantly worse.

The…read moreBrixton is a classy higher-end spot that is perfect for larger groups or family gatherings. They offer a huge variety of New American fare with generous shareable portions or small plates. The layout was well thought out as every table is comfortable and offers visitors enough room to play musical chairs for those large group meetups. The Brixton gets busy fairly often, but again, the layout and spacing makes it such that you can hear everyone in your party without screaming. The food is great, and I've yet to find a dish that I wouldn't resoundingly recommend. The servers are knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. The Brixton is always on my recommendation list as a place to hang out in the Marina/Cow Hollow area.

But it was still hard to hear each other across the table. My husband had a drink at the bar. He ordered a second at the table and they brought him a third. We ordered wontons that never arrived. He ordered a salad with his hamburger and they brought him fries. The food was delicious. Dessert was disappointed. We ordered an apple pie but it was more like a pop tart. All pastry and only a tiny bit of apples. Our server was very helpful and accommodating. I understand that the kitchen was slammed. But I always wonder when the wait staff who takes your order is not the one delivering your food. That's where the mistakes happen. My scallops were delicious. All four tiny ones. Next time we'll come when it's hopefully quieter.

    The Horseshoe Tavern has been our neighborhood watering hole for over 16 years, and at this point,…read moreit feels a lot more like family than just a bar. So many memories have been made here -- birthdays, celebrations, nights out with friends and family, and plenty of random evenings that turned into some of the best ones. We've also made friendships here that have lasted for years. It's one of those rare neighborhood bars where you can walk in, see familiar faces, bring your dog, grab a drink, and immediately feel at home. I was especially honored to be asked to guest bartend for The Equal Pour, an event celebrating 55 years of women being able to bartend in California. It was such a fun and meaningful day, and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie even stopped by to celebrate with everyone. And because the Horseshoe always seems to have a good story attached to it, we were also there when the Budweiser Clydesdales came by to deliver beer -- definitely one of those only-in-San-Francisco neighborhood moments. The staff here has always treated us like family, and that's what keeps us coming back year after year. No pretension, no fuss -- just good people, a great neighborhood atmosphere, dogs welcome, and a place that has been part of our lives for well over a decade. The Horseshoe is a true Marina neighborhood gem, and I hope it stays exactly that for many more years.

    My friend and I were in the Marina after an event at Fort Mason, and were looking for a low-key bar…read moreto get a drink. Fortunately, we were lucky to stumble across Horseshoe Tavern, as it immediately gave across a welcoming and comfortable vibe. Although there was only one bartender working the bar which was packed with a lot of people watching the Kentucky Derby, the service was incredible and the bartender immediately acknowledged us and took our order. We ended up getting two rounds, and again the bartender was super prompt and attentive with service when we went back inside for round two. Overall, this place is a gem, especially being in the Marina. Down to earth and comforting vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice watering hole or a place to play pool.
