    popcorn machine
    Michelle Z.

    Lovely hidden gem bar in Soma! I've come for their trivia nights (Trivia Thursday, 7pm) twice now and both times have been so fun. The hosts/owners are awesome and the questions are always interesting -- not obscure and very reasonable compared to other trivia places I've been to. I like their puzzle & music rounds especially. The prize for winning first is a karaoke party which is so cool!! They have a ton of food & drink options and a great drink of the month deal ($7). I'm definitely planning to come back for more trivia nights with more friends. Ambiance inside is not too rowdy but still lively, which is perfect. It's not intensely crowded and there's lots of seating. They also have a cute dog and free popcorn machine. They play great music too. And not to mention the friendliest staff!!

    Pastrami sandwich

    The pastrami sandwich is a great add to the menu. The bartenders are as always very friendly and knowledgeable about the cocktails and beers.

    Didn't realize they'd closed at 2:30pm when I walked in, but they still accommodated me and Byron!

    The short: Hidden gem in the former location of Ted's Sports Bar. Dog friendly. Vegan friendly. Low prices, warm and inviting atmosphere. What more could you ask for? The long: I'd never heard of Question Mark Bar, but I decided to stop in on a Monday afternoon for a late lunch after seeing some signs for it up on light posts around the neighborhood and confirming they had a vegan option on the menu. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by both the bartender, Kenzie, and the owner, Jeremy, who was sitting at a booth in the corner, working on his laptop and conducting some business on the phone. The food came out quickly and was good! (The vegan burger comes with cheese and mayo, but Kenzie mentioned that as soon as I ordered, so I was able to ask for them to be left off.) Jeremy offered my dog a treat and some pats and scratches on the head. Before he headed out, he handed me his card and said to let him know if I ever wanted to have them open up early to show any soccer games. I might have to organize some watch parties here at some point....

    Popped in here to have a drink and wait for my partner to get off work. It was trivia night and the bar was nice and busy, especially for a Thursday. I ordered a margarita off their happy hour menu and the price and quality was great. When my partner showed up we got the fried chicken sandwich, garlic fries and management threw in a caesar salad wrap, Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. There was a very sweet dog (ESA I assume) who was supervising the room. Overall fun crowd, friendly staff and good grub. I will be back!

    If you're looking for a bar with a unique, San Francisco vibe, look no further than Question Mark Bar! It's got that magical, Burning Man-esque energy that makes it feel like you're stepping into a different world. Jeremy, the owner is a most excellent host!The eclectic atmosphere is perfect for anyone looking to have a good time. Whether you're hanging out in one of the cozy nooks or dancing the night away, there's always something exciting happening. The staff are friendly, always making you feel welcome, and there's karaoke nights --whether you're a pro or just singing for fun, it's a great time for everyone. It's a sweet neighborhood spot that's worth the trip! Nice Dogs are welcome!

    Fish and chips

    I went for lunch on a Tuesday. Mostly empty, one server and plenty of empty spots. Interior was a bit dark lighting wise. I wish the tables were a little less sticky. Some quiet conversations and light music. Most of the seating is booth-style seats or at the bar. The price felt great for the food I got. I got a chicken tortilla soup and fish and chips. Both items were great, with the soup hot and flavorful, and the fish and chips crispy. There's a 10% discount if you're eating there while on jury duty. Convenient, as it's right next to the criminal court. There's a lot of the place which hints it's more lively in the later hours, including posters for bar trivia and a karaoke spot.

    We went there for valentines night and they had free salsa classes , which made our evening . Couldn't have asked for a better way to spend V-day. The cocktails were ok, and the beer was good but the bartenders were very friendly and cool. Seems like their trivia and karaoke nights will be interesting too

Luckily, my friend had already been to Iron Horse Cocktails, and suggested we go there instead. Walking down the alleyway it is located in was a nice getaway from the otherwise hectic union square atmosphere. Walking in was also a neat experience that felt like we were stepping out of the city into a tiny pub. We also really liked the atmosphere inside and the cozy upper floor that had an interesting mix of old paintings and woodwork, creating an eclectic feel. I got the We've Got the Beet cocktail with mezcal, beet reduction, ginger, fresh citrus, thyme and firewater bitters. I love mezcal's smoky flavors and was drawn to the combination of ginger, citrus and mezcal flavors in the drink. The cocktail was very good and had a nice smokiness from the mezcal, along with the kick from the ginger and zest from the citrus, creating a refreshing and tasty drink. My friend got the About Thyme, with gin, blackberry liquor, black pepper thyme syrup and fresh citrus. We both really liked his drink as well, which had an interesting kick from the black pepper thyme syrup that offset the gin and blackberry liquor nicely. While we only had time to grab a drink each, we were both very happy with the drinks and would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

The music selection was also really good and added to the fun, lively atmosphere.

Good food, great drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere made it easy to stay longer than we originally planned. What really stood out was the overall experience. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was stylish without feeling pretentious, and the entire place had a welcoming vibe. The Lark turned an unplanned stop into one of the highlights of our day. It's definitely the kind of place you'll want to come back to and we certainly will.

I always go with the nachos and have never been disappointed, perfect portion for me, but could be shared if you're not super hungry or wanted to mix in a bunch of different food items. Service is friendly but very slow; especially for drinks. I'm not deducting any stars for that though, it's a very small bar that gets very crowded during happy hour so the staff constricted by space, not a desire to work.

I don't think I 've had meet so hard in a burriot before.

The staff that works there are okay... you might get someone that is a bit short or direct but they are not known for being really accomodating. I have eaten here previously and it was okay, nothing great. This time it went from okay to just terrible food. They are charging so much for a burrito that is not even descent. Hire a good cook that knows how to make food well if you're going to be charging those prices - or train your staff better.

Arrived on a whim at around 6pm on a weekday and found a nice seat at the bar top. They have these little orb lights that can't be moved. Sitting in front of one takes some bar space away from you, so I changed seats to get a few more inches of space. Emilio the bartender was mega friendly and went over some items on the menu. He also told me I was right on time for the saber champagne presentation -more on that in a sec. For drinks, I ordered the Hibiscus Spice and the Paradise cocktail. Both were super fruity and delicious! I had a great time sipping on this while chatting it up with a few folks at the bar. To nibble, I can never say no to ahi tuna tartare and this one was great! The most interesting little wafers, ahi tuna with some avocado cream and a little spicy sauce. I absolutely devoured these! So good! Now for the best part, the champagne presentation! A gentleman gave a little info session on on how this process is done and at the end he took a giant to a bottle of champagne to open it. Really Cool! What made this even better was that everyone at the bar got to snag a complimentary glass. What a treat! Super cute little hour of so sitting at the bar at the St. Regis. Absolutely a little pricey, but i'ma girl who lives to spoil herself a bit. Because YOLO. Right?

    Breakfast review here…read more. Food (4.5 star) + Truffle omelette comes with tasty sliced potatoes that are crispy on the edges and soft inside. There is a nice cheesy outer layer with a fluffy and somewhat yolky interior. Truffles are a nice touch but barely noticeable in taste. + Kids breakfast for $20 is nearly an adults portion. Their hash brown is a bigger slice of that tasty potato with a cheesy top. Service (2 stars) - Today is not a good day for the staff here. Either she's new or there is a lack of training, but I saw nearly every order going to the wrong table. Ambiance (4 stars) + It's St Regis so you get the posh everything - At the bar, I'm not a fan of the light that's situated on top of where I'm sitting
