Saturday lunch at the Patriot House hit the spot. The place was not busy (it's a bit out of the way up on the third floor); our server was prompt and friendly. I had a burger with a side salad - both very tasty. My wife had the arugula salad and enjoyed it. read more

After being seated, it took over 30 minutes before a waiter even greeted us. Mind you, it wasn't that busy either. This place was severely understaffed and every person working looked miserable. The food ended up being pretty alright, the chicken sandwich was bland and boring, but the sweet potato fries were really good. The beer I ordered also tasted like it came from the bottom of the barrel, which was disappointing. This place has a great bar vibe, but unfortunately the food and the service are rough. Would not recommend. read more

Outside patio under the umbrellas is nice and quiet! Usually not too packed there. Inside was a lot busier during the World Cup games Not many seem to Know about this spot.

While a long time place for company happy hours, I think Patriot House is gaining more traction with the general public. Known for their happy hour and great staff, there's always a steady flow of customers coming and going as well as the regulars that basically have seats at the bar with their names on them. Either park in the garage, or if you want to attempt (and I use the word attempt fully understanding it's not going to happen) finding street parking either works to access the venue. read more

Ua four guys dropped in after a serious hunt around the block, parking wasn't a trick at all compared to the random stairs and seemingly hidden upper floor entry for this old school broody mood of tired woods and cozy couches. We settled and got greta service right in, timed mid afternoon and avoided any rush. Ordered up tacos, sliders, Reuben, and Burger, I noticed only the burger was sized properly! But prices normal for the city, beer went down right, and my Reuben tasted made well. Waitress explained her accent arrived from a dingy northern Ireland town called Kerry which I recall from Top Gear or somewhere! This became another fun adventure on our way to short weekend vacation out of Indiana. read more

Patriot House is tucked away in the upper area of embarcadero 2, therefore, it doesn't get a ton of foot traffic. My work does happy hours here often, because it is a reliable place to get a table for a large group. Surprisingly, when we came in yesterday, it was a lot more crowded than it usually is which adds to the vibe. In general though, I wouldn't come here for the vibes since some days it can be relatively empty. There is an outdoor patio which is nice for sunny days! Overall, the food and drinks are good and the service is great! Our favorite menu item is the fries - they are almost like salt and vinegar chips. Super tasty! Overall, this is a good place for groups to come and get a table :) read more

Came here for dinner Saturday night before attending the Punchline comedy show. Patriot House is a hidden gem! Ordered hamburgers and the grilled margherita sandwich. Ordered vinegar fries, two Lagunitas beers and two margaritas. Everything was incredibly delicious! Hands down one of the best burgers! They did a great job with the margarita and did not water it down with ice. Our server/bartender Aleisha was awesome and super friendly, absolutely loved her! The bill was incredibly reasonable for the quality of food and beverages! Ambiance was very cool, it was very clean and the bathroom was very clean! Great job and thank you for the awesome food and service! Hope to get back soon! read more

My friends and I ate here before a comedy show at punchline comedy club. Great location to eat before a show. Big indoor eating area and super cute outdoor patio to enjoy on a nice day! They have happy hour 7 days a week with a good variety of items. We shared totchos and salt and vinegar fries. Both were delicious! Drinks were good and everyone enjoyed their food. The tacos were filling and fresh. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming. Really happy with our experience! read more

Patriot House - Grilled mahi tacos - Gastropubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

Intimate, dark atmosphere but plenty of seating and tables for large crowds, especially on Wednesday for trivia night. There's plenty of screens for watching games and an outdoor patio area (with seating) if the weather is nicer and its not too windy in FiDi. It's on the 2nd floor of the Embarcadero Center, tucked away and not the easiest spot to find unless you know where it is. Service is consistently friendly and somewhat quick, even with peak hours (like trivia nights). I'm usually there with friends and almost always stick to the happy hour deals, which are not the best I've had but great bites to be something you can always order and split while folks order drinks. There's usually a cocktail or boozy slushie of the day and the rest of the happy hour menu is great. I personally am fond of the spinach and artichoke dip. Not a date night spot, nor would it be my go-to for dinner, but it is a great hangout spot to invite a bunch of people without committing an exact number, and chat and catch up with whatever friends show up over a couple of drinks. I think that's true for most of the locals who know this gem. Trivia is a plus. I think people are always a little surprised they don't have military discounts (despite the theming of the place). read more

Needed to brag a quick dinner before seeing a show at the Punch Line and Patriot House was located just across the street which made it the perfect option. Service was prompt and we both enjoyed our meals. I had the chicken quesadilla which had a good amount of chicken and peppers in it. My husband got the fish and chips and was really impressed. read more

Came here on a Tuesday was still pretty packed but was able to get seated. A little bit difficult to find inside the Embarcadero center. We had bingo, which was really fun. Food was really good. Typical cocktail drinks were decent. We definitely like to come back here again. read more

Patriot House is an SF institution. Yet also a true hidden gem, given it's concealed location on the second floor of the Embarcadero Center. It's perhaps most famous for it's appearance on the reality show Bar Rescue - when it was transformed from a bar called Holding Company into an American Dream with revolution era memorabilia on the wall. This bar is a great place to catch a game, or congregate for a happy hour after work. The menu is traditional bar food with offerings like tatchos (tator-tot nachos), quesadillas and wings. For drinks, you have some standard options like Trumer Pilsner and Firestone Walker 805, but you also have some nods to America with the State of the Union cocktail or a traditional Budweiser. If you're into more trendy options, you can also order the S'more Espresso Martini or an Aperol Spritz. Overall, you can't go wrong with Patriot House. A true American hero. read more

Comfort bar, food and lots of TVs. What more do you need? The beer is cold the drinks are heavy and the service is amazing. JYW says catch a game here and some snacks for sure a financial district staple read more

PUB GATHERING My co-workers stated this place used to be the Holding Company, which was a gathering place for the insurance industry. The first time I ate at the Patriot House was around August of this year as a lunch gathering for co-workers to mingle as most of us have hybrid work schedule. For lunch I ordered one of the specials - tomato risotto with salmon. I've had mixed experiences with salmon at restaurants as they tend to be overcooked. At the Patriot House the salmon wasn't overcooked, but moist. I also enjoyed the crispy skin of the salmon. With the tomato risotto this dish was hearty and filling. I washed down the dish with a soothing cider. The second time I came for another company gathering in December. I don't like order the same item twice. This time instead asking for a special I ordered an item from the menu. The item that really intrigued me was the braised beef short rib. When I received the dish the short rib was placed on a dollop of mashed potatoes. The savory beef rib matched well with the airy mashed potatoes. The portion of the short beef rib and mashed potato balanced each other. I didn't drink cider this time but ginger ale. Inside the Patriot House the decor has a dark amber color that makes this place look similar to a pub. This place has an inviting, soothing atmosphere that is opposite of a dive bar. I can see my co-workers said this place is a great gathering place in our industry. Regardless if the occasion isn't work related I can see myself come back to the Patriot House for a nice meal to eat and a cool pint to drink. read more

Hungry and looking for a quick bite, we came in here. Beers and bar food is what this is about. It's all A-OK. The servers were so friendly and lovely it kinda made the place which was empty when we popped in for a happy hour on a week day...SF is what it is and that's fine but the nice people working there made it. Else it was anytown pub food in downtown SF. But hey...if you got a larger group and not 2 people this would be a fun spot. read more

We super love this place..an after work happy hour and their lemon pepper wings is our favorite! I even brought my husband here! I am actually one of the regulars here! I was so sad that they changed their hours and Thursday is now closed and don't know why! Thursday is my Friday so this is the only time I can go after work read more

My husband and I stopped in for happy hour for the first time and were really happy we did! The food was really good. Honestly, probably the best wings I've had in San Francisco. They were meaty and large and well flavored. My husband like the sliders too. Really inexpensive happy hour meals and drinks! They also have daily specials or events happening. We happened to be there during bingo night, so got to play a few games before we went to our show. It was a nice way to break up the week! We will definitely be back! The bar itself is beautiful, and they had some great areas to watch games on TV. We took a peek at the dinner menu and they look like they have some pretty great options outside of happy hour so we'll have to check those out another time. read more

We have had a reservation for over a month for 13 people. Service was AWFUL. It was like we were bothering our server. We tried to order drinks and she couldn't be bothered and stated that nothing was in stock. Wings were very good, but not worth the aggravation to get them. read more

Pure crap on a plate, perfect faire for someone on Death Row. I've tried this dump a few times with mediocre being the best compliment to offer. Today was so very special... Cheesesteak that isn't served as a cheesesteak and lacking the namesake... steak. Some bright mind decided to add red chili flakes. Good for some, not for me and this presented a dilemma. No where is this mentioned on the menu, yet it exists. Couldn't-wouldn't eat it. Certain medical conditions will not allow this. Salad a a side, cool, except for the vinaigrette which consisted on questionable balsamic and nothing more. Alternative was a "Ranch" option which was basically mayo. Again "Pure Crap". Waste of money and time. read more

Great atmosphere with multiple room spaces to choose plus an outdoor patio with a pleasant view. Delightful helpful, cheer-y waitresses and bartenders. Relaxed atmosphere. And, unlike most pubs that serve food, their food is GOOD. Beers are fine with a wide choice including draught and plenty of drinks to choose. What an enjoyable place to visit or to have lunch or dinner or Sat. breakfast. Yhey also have many weekly and occasional fun special events. read more

Patriot House was one of the only places open in this area on Indigenous People's Day so we were grateful to find it! The server was very nice. The happy hour deals weren't that great (e.g., $1 off draft beer). The wings were pretty good but the spinach artichoke dip was bland and didn't come with enough bread to dip in it. I liked the salt and vinegar chips but my boyfriend thought they needed more flavoring. read more

Came here for trivia night with some friends and it was a lot of fun! We shared pitchers of beer and food, which came out to $30/person for 6 of us. Not bad for a few hours. Trivia starts at 6p and lasted til about 9. There was 5 rounds with 10 questions each. Your table works as a team to answer questions and write them on a piece of paper. read more

This bar is a hidden gem. A lil hard to find at first but once you do, you'll be very happy you went thru the efforts of navigating Embarcadero to come. The bartenders are always so friendly and sweet. Heavy pours! Food is better than I expected! Not Michelin star but really satisfying. Haven't ordered anything I'm unhappy. We've tried their Mac n cheese, sliders, fries (LOVE their fries), mini corn dogs and club sandwich. The vibe is very casual. If we lived nearby this would prob be our neighborhood bar. Check them out and try their food! read more

We found this bar out of curiosity & decided to go in. The setting is very pub-like. The bartender Jules is sooo fun. We happen to walk in on Trivia Night and there's a theme to every trivia night so that was interesting & fun. The popcorn shrimp is delicious especially with the aioli. I added some hot sauce just to give more of a kick and it was good. Bathrooms are clean. read more

I am so happy I found this place. Within the modern exterior of the Embarcadero center is The Patriot House which transports you to a warm, wood, stately, continental feeling classic pub with a friendly atmosphere. The Guinness was fresh but what impressed me the most was the FOOD! Our table had an assortment of shepherd's pies, stews, beef ribs, salads, everything was standout. I'd highly recommend this place for group dinners, dates, after work celebrations, meetups with friends, solo for just a great meal, it's very unique within SF. read more

The food was pretty average, we ordered the tacos and something was off with the food. And a few hours later we got sick. And the food was pretty expensive for the quality. read more

The food was 1 star. I ordered chicken wings I give it 3 stars and corn beef empanadas was alright. Both items were warm. Flavor was plan for both items. The service needs improvement slow. The patio area was bad. The seats are torn, dirty, the tables were dirty too. I had to clean my own table. There were plenty of signage promoting happy hour. I was told that they were not having happy hour even though sings outside and indoors on tables advertised it. I do not recommend this location. I came here due to Bar rescue show. It looks like they need to re do many things. read more

Happy that this neighborhood stalwart is open during the pandemic. They're serving all sorts of comfort pub food you need. Lots of beer, wine and cocktail choices too, but I came during a workday lunch break, so didn't get to indulge in those. Crispy Chicken Sandwich & Chips: This was exactly the comfort food I needed. A juicy breast of chicken with a thick breading that was nice and crispy. Complemented perfectly with a creamy spicy sauce on a soft, yet lightly toasted, bun. There were some veggies in there too, but I was too focused on the chicken to really notice. Came with homemade chips. Like actual potato chips that are thin and round. Crispy and tasty. Fish & Chips: Three large pieces of tender white fish with a thin batter. Wasn't too crispy though, but still tasty. The chips here were fries. A nice hearty pairing. There was a bunch of coleslaw too, but that's not really jam, so yeah. read more

We were happily surprised. On a late weekday afternoon, the Embarcadero was almost deserted and did not offer a lot of choices for lunch. We went to the Patriot House expecting an "Ok" meal. It is a large clean and attractive place with a few outdoor tables. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The food... actually great. We had a Chinese chicken salad and special sandwich. Both fresh, well prepared and presented. We will return! read more

I enjoyed another pleasant group lunch here today with my retiree friends and thoroughly enjoyed my cheesesteak sandwich, and especially, the salt & vinegar fries that it comes with...it was so delicious and the perfect portion size for lunch.

Wonderful, attentive service, combined with the awesome food, this is the 2nd time I've dined here with this same group and I have no doubts, we're already planning to return again, very soon...thanks, Patriot House...!!! read more

Honestly amazed how easy it was to seat 14 people on a Friday night! We were having a goodbye dinner for our coworker and we're able to get three tables together like that. And it was pretty busy too. The waitress did her best to get to all of us. Waters seemed to be the hardest things to get. But the pitchers were plentiful, blue moons and others. We also ordered fish tacos, fries, Parmesan fries, and tater tot nachos, all completely delicious. The fish tacos were unbelievably flavorful, perfectly cooked fish with all the right toppings and a great sauce. And those fries, Parmesan cheese or no, are a must order! Couple of big screen TVs with different sports on, soccer and nascar that evening. Lots of room for big groups and a wraparound bar with attentive bartenders. Biggest, best surprise was the restroom was clean! I'd go back here for sure. read more

The Patriot House was that one place that I have never heard of until one day I was on facebook and one of my friend had posted that he was at The Patriot House!!! After seeing that I said to myself that I had to go and check this place out!!! And I sure did came to the Patriot House on day off which was on 7/11/19 and it was on a beautiful sunny thursday!!! When I first got here during the lunch time hour... I was thinking that The Patriot House was gonna be packed with a lot hungry customers!!! I was lucky that I didn't have to see that!!! I was able to find myself table and after that, as I was looking through The Patriot House menu... So from there I knew right away in what I wanted to order so I ended up ordering myself the Patriot House Burger with a choice of french fries style and decided that, I wanted to order the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries... Which was my very 1st time ordering that!!! Not only did I order myelf The Patriot House Burger w/ sweet potato waffle fries...I also wanted to order myself a Samuel Adams Beer to enjoy myself with the The Patriot House Burger & Sweet Potato Waffle Fries!!! Now that I finally got a chance to experience this Patriot House Pub & Sports Bar Of San Francisco Ca.., When I took walk around of the inside of The Patriot House Pub & Sports Bar it feels like if I was in Boston Ma' Philadelphia Pa, Washington Dc reason I say this it's because of art paintings of George Washington Benjamin Franklin and a 1776 led lights from The American Revolution War Against England and other interesting art paintings from The Colonial Era of 1776!!! If your here at the Embarcadero 2 Shopping Area Of San Francisco Ca just shopping around and if your very hungry for a Hamburger and want to take a break from the shopping!!!

I've been here a couple of times and it's a pretty good solid spot. While it may not occupy the top spot in my recall list, it's still a place where's there enough drinks, appetizers, entrees, and TV screens that there's always something for everyone. The happy hours are not as generous as at other places what with just a buck below the standard price for their specialty cocktails, and appetizers. That said, the garlic fries were pretty good with the option to add feta cheese. However, the texture of the garlic fries was relatively flaccid vis-a-vis the french fries which was almost perfect with a lovely crunchy exterior and a soft moist body. The fish tacos were decent. It had good flavours with the smoky chipotle mayo. The fish was supposed to be lightly crunchy with a thin batter coating but the crunchiness was missing. It was delicious but the fish was about half the length of the taco so you end up eating just tortilla and salsa at about the half-way mark. The 'tot-chos' is the house version of nachos substituting tater-tots for the tortilla chips. It came with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. There was the option to kick it up with pulled pork or some other beef or chicken concoction. The tots were pretty good and the toppings made it a little better. Some of my friends had the Buffalo chicken wings and the Thai chicken wings. I had a bite of the Thai wings and it was something I personally wouldn't order myself or recommend to anyone. I forgot to order an alcoholic drink so I have nothing to add in that regard. read more
