The name alone was the reason I wanted to check this place out when it first opened. formerly known as Pissed Off Pete's and then bought out by the co-owner of the (now closed and conveniently located) Last Stop in Daly City where the Muni 14 Mission bus terminates, Recovery Room is a pet-friendly, laid back dive with a great selection of draft and bottled beers, some cocktails and large flat-screens above the bar area that makes it an ideal spot to catch a game or 3. some memorable personal encounters of mine thru the years include members of the Mongolian national (?) basketball team hanging out and being drunkenly invited by some hella friendly Samoans and Tongans to a biannual picnic at Candlestick Point. there's a back kitchen that dishes out wings, some of the thickest and juiciest burgers around (with plenty of choices for toppings) as well as hot sandwiches that include pastrami and turkey. every once in a while, they'll also feature live music/bands. I think there's even a karaoke night, to boot. though I still miss the Last Stop, Recovery Room has nicely filled in its absence and continues to be one of my favorite bars in this part (Excelsior District) of town. read more

The Recovery Room is a true locals' spot and the perfect place for real 49er fans. Great energy, friendly crowd, and plenty of TVs to actually enjoy the game. The separate food area in the back is super convenient and surprisingly good. If you want an authentic, local game-day vibe, this is the place. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday night to watch football. We heard great things about this place so decided to check it out for ourselves. We walked in and the place very spacious. Not too busy, so we were able to grab a table and they had all the big games playing. The guys behind the bar - Glen and Jay - were awesome!! Very attentive and friendly. While we were there we ordered food from "The Hidden Spot", which is located all the way in the back of the bar. The two spots are not connected so you'll need to pay separately. We heard so many good things about their wings and they were delicious. $10 for 5 wings or $18 for 10. We wanted to try a couple different flavors and they were both really good. The place has a chill vibe, no frills, just a fun neighborhood bar. We had a great time and will definitely be back again. read more

Live bands sound fabulous on the stage, I had the chance to see "The messengers" out of San Diago and they rocked the house w/ an incredible sound. read more

This is a great place to meet with friends for a drink but the food is amazing at this place. I usually don't eat bar food but this has one of best chicken wings in the city of San Francisco. I tried their different variety and they all complemented each other. The service here was good and attentive. I look forward to go here again for food and drinks. read more

Update to the review. Still a dope place to be and meet your neighbors - If you're a real SF-er, you're going to run into a friend here. Or someone one degree of separation from you. They got food back in the kitchen! Current menu is from Hidden Spot, so back to bar foods. Their fried chicken sandwich is amazing - had the extra spicy one and my taste buds were so happy. read more

Sunday karaoke is amazing. It's causal and friendly, what more can you ask for from a local place?

Love this place! Bartenders are amazing and friendly. My girl Korey always has a smile and so attentive!

Great dive bar in a great neighborhood! Small stage and karaoke on Sunday nights! I especially like it the night of Jerry Day.

Service seems to be hit and miss here. We have gone and not had any employee attempt to serve us so we left (and to be fair, it was super slow so expecting service was not too much to ask for). Tried again and that time we got served and it was fine. We are both bar/restaurant industry people and generally very understanding so disappointed in the first experience. read more

Cool bar, fun watching people sing karaoke or watch sports. Bartender was very nice and even though she was very busy still was very friendly read more

I came here to watch the Warriors VS Kings game and the vibes were so fun! Everyone seemed to know each other at the bar and it was pretty friendly. The staff behind the counter was friendly and they had quick service despite it being busy. I ordered a draft beer and a cocktail. Both were delicious and the cocktail had a perfect balance of all the flavors! For the kitchen, I ordered the Dino Popcorn Chicken which was a perfect spice. Anything more would've been way too spicy for me. I saw a lot of people order the chicken tenders and wish that I got that too. I will definitely be back and will bring more friends too!! read more

Recovery Room - Inside w/plenty of TV's - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Amazing wings. Worth the hype and the drive. I think I have to type 85 characters. I just wanted to say the wings are good.

We moved to the neighborhood five years ago and started coming to this local dive bar three years ago when it was called DOCTORS OFFICE. It changed soon after to RECOVERY ROOM and with the change there seems to have arrived a new chef who serves the most incredible hamburgers and fries. We split the quarter pound smash burger every time and the fries come hot and crispy. The burger is just $9 and continues to be our favorite burger in the city for its flavor and price. It has bacon and cheese in addition to the usual suspects, and we think about the burger often when we are having dinner at home. Soleil Ho, why didn't you include the Smash Burger on your best burgers list? Maybe it's better you didn't, so we can continue to have our favorite burger without waiting for an hour in a quiet bar with just a handful of people. read more

Recovery Room - Smash burger - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Local neighbor pub with surprisingly pretty good food, chill atmosphere and tv for watching games. MAY2020: Haven't been here in over a year! They have indoor and outdoor seating! We came here recently to watch the Warriors v Lakers game outside. I got a blue moon $6. They have a giant tv facing their outdoor seating area for game nights which was nice, since their indoor seatings were full. We were able to order drinks from their outdoor seating area. The only con was that it was a windy night and there's no heaters, but just dress warm if you plan on sitting outside. The workers are nice and kept checking in on us to make sure we were good with drinks. read more

Recovery Room - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

My favorite bar in Excelsior District. Definitely a place I enjoy going to once in a while to unwind and get a drink. The food varies since they host different chefs to serve food. All of the ones I've tried were pretty good. But this is just one man's opinion. Music is played from the jukebox so you can pretty much connect to it through an app and make music selections that way. There is one pool table in the back so that's always a plus. And karaoke Sundays I mean... it's got all the makings of a great bar. Definitely check it out if you're on that's side of town! read more

Had a good time over here and the food was very good. No lie, their chicken sandwich was probably the biggest that I've seen. Good food and cool atmosphere, no complaints whatsoever. read more

Recovery Room - a burger and fries on a table - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Im always craving for excellent bar food in the neighborhood. So I was static when I found out Recovery Room started open early and serving lunch. I went in and was greeted immediately by Evelyn and gave a warm welcome. Nice comfortable place and not too crowded since it was early. Sat at one end of the bar and at opposite end were other customers who seem to be regulars. I ordered a beer and Evelyn started a tab instead of charging me immediately, like other places. I end up ordering a classic hamburger from the menu and a side order of fries. Best hamburger and fries I had I a while. Other customer came in and sat next to me. They ordered chicken wings and told me that they were excellent and recommended other hamburgers from the menu. Overall, I will go back and try other items. Hopefully Evelyn will be there. Great service and ambience. read more

Solid neighborhood bar, my dad used to go here occasionally when it was still pissed off Pete's. The night I went happened to be karaoke night and even though I don't/didn't sing it was a great time with friends. Pretty good selection on everything and anything you would want and need. They have a kitchen but I wasn't able to order as I got there after they closed. read more

This bar located in the excelsior district has potential to be much much more, we missed the kitchen experience so we couldn't rate the food but the locals definitely love this spot. Special shout out to the birthday girl Salina. Friends and family definitely made this spot special. Shout out to the DJ in the house. read more

FYI: THEY DON'T SERVE FOOD ANYMORE. The bartender said it's been a while since they stopped. They just have some chips behind the bar you could buy. With that said, it's a chill place to have a drink and chat with friends. Nothing fancy..just a solid neighborhood spot to meet up. The bartender was by herself taking care of everybody (about 12 people including my friend and I). My advice: don't go here acting like a snooty, privileged jerk complaining that you didn't even get greeted at the door. Otherwise, I got the sense that the regulars at the bar will be more than happy to do the dirty work of "escorting" you out. Just be patient and order your drinks when you can. It's simple: if you choose to come here, you're supporting a small business. Enjoy your drink and time with friends. Then say thanks on the way out and appreciate the people trying to make a living. read more

The wings are worth the hype. We ordered the MVP (sweet and spicy soy flavor) and the seasoned fries. Everything was delicious - the wings were flavorful with the perfect amount of crunch, and the fries were perfectly seasoned with a great crispy bite. The vibe of the place was also chill and casual; on a Saturday afternoon every seat at the bar was taken and it was an overall relaxed atmosphere. The bartender was cool and our food was delivered quickly. All in all, a great find and experience, and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a no frills, just cool, bar. read more

What a joke. Sat in here with my friend for about 15ish minutes at a table. Made eye contact with the bartender multiple times, no greeting or "I'll be right with you", nothing. We walked out. There's some bad reviews about her (oriental chick) on here as well before me. The name drew us to it, but it's DEFINITELY not worth stopping in. read more

Good atmosphere and great bartenders on any night. Music is not too loud...you can actually have a good conversation in there read more

The ASIAN WOMAN that bartends on Friday 10/18/24 was very unprofessional. Her energy was very low. She refused to serve me because I told her to "look alive" because when I entered the bar she did not greet me with a smile. She has bad customer service and brought her bad day to work. I'm not sure if she acts like that on a regular but she was asking for an *** whooping. Would not recommend. GET NEW BARTENDERS ASAP!! read more

You can't beat a neighborhood pub! Recovery Room has an old wood bar running the length of the room, the old school mirrors behind the liquor shelves on the back of the bar and a proper mix of people that appreciate a much needed drink after a hard day or that friendly pint while catching up with your friends make it an easy place to pull up a stool. Add the friendly staff bartending and it's an win win situation! Just when you thought it couldn't be better, The Hidden Spot has a collaboration so there's a window in back which has a good food menu that serves up snacks and tasty sandwiches and an awesome burger when you're in the mood! read more

Recovery Room - Excellent burger and tater tots couldn't be better fried! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super unsuspecting neighborhood bar with all the liquors and beers your heart desires! Even enough different beers and ciders on tap to make a few variations of my fav snakebite (cider + stout). Shout out to the awesome bartender that had me try to delish mango beer on tap, and convinced me to try his "Bruised Mango" drink (mango beer + Guinness). Everything I wanted and more woot woot I'll have to come back another time to try some of the small bites. Saw some Mac n cheese and truffle situations. Next time. Space is huge for big parties. Plenty of TVs along the bar to catch your fav games. 5 stars read more

Good venue for local live music. Great food. Excellent customer service. The bartender girl is amazing!

I have a long history w this place. I grew up a block away and my Dad worked here PT from 1970-1997. It was called Alex's Other Place back then. Years later I would go there when it was Pissed off Petes and always had a good time. When it became the Recovery Room, I stopped going because I heard it was a much younger crowd, and I didn't want to feel unwelcome or out of place, and I live in the Mission now. Last Sunday, I decided to check it out, and I was happy to see older people there. I met 2 awesome SF natives at the bar, and the bartender served me right away and was very nice. Everything would have been great, and I would have probably stayed longer, and I probably would have ordered food (the nice people next to me shared their fried shrimp w me, and it was really good). Unfortunately things went south real quick when one of the patrons, ironically a 67 year old woman who was drunk off her ass kept coming over to talk to the couple next to me, each time interrupting our conversation. She was really loud and obnoxious. The 3rd time she came over, the woman I had been talking to told her my dad used to work there, and she starts asking, "Who's ur dad"? "I never knew anybody by that name"! I mentioned a couple of other people from the old days, one person she did know but did not like apparently, calling him an a..hole and so on. Finally, I asked her, "Weren't u sitting way over there"? And then she really went off in me. At in point she actually put her hands on me and pushed me, asking "what are u gonna do now,hit me?" The woman I was talking to tried to calm her down. The bartender came over at one point and said something to her but it was ineffective. Finally one of the younger guys came over and physically led her back to where she had been sitting. I asked if she was regular there and it turns out she the sister of one of the bartenders. I told my new friends that I would probably never go back there again knowing that there's a possibility that I would encounter that that person again. I'm leaving 3 stars though because I had a really nice experience until "Baby Jane" came over and ruined it. I wish that someone would hv intervened and asked her to leave, but no one did. Seemed liked peoole were too intimidated. I hope that someone from RR will read this and maybe tell that woman or her sister the bartender that they lost a good customer because she couldn't hold her liquor or respect other people's space. Luckily, I have fond memories of this bar, but my last experience was the worst experience that I've personally had at any bar all because someone had to get too drunk and act a fool. read more

Great addition to the Excelsior district. As a local to the area, Recovery Room screams old~school and divey with a lot of San Francisco soul and culture. Great booze and an underrated kitchen to boot as well. (Peep the food pics) Giang and company really take care of their folks here. If you're into sports, drinks, and a good time, Recovery Room takes care of all that. read more

Underwhelming. The food, service, and drinks were all pretty bland and mediocre. We had the nachos and wings. The meat on the nachos was bland and it was short of key toppings, most notably cheese and guac. The wings were decent but just barely made up for the lackluster nachos. Our beers were fine but took forever to pour, and we were 2 of 5 people there. I'd pass unless you're starving and thirsty and don't want to walk another block. read more

The revamp of this place has really cranked up turnout. RIP, POP. Welcome, RR. While food may take a while and be quite expensive, drinks are still plenty cheap, and there might even be more TVs than before. The layout with the long bar and several tables hasn't changed, and the live DJ pit still exists too. Pretty happy that this place has upped its game and integrated several features. Also happy that vets of the Sunset are bartending several nights. read more

The neighborhood watering hole! Great people and great times! Local spot with all you need to drink and a very good bar bites menu

I left my back pack on Saturday August 5. I called the bartener the next morning , an asked the Bartender if she saw my green backpack. She said she had it. I said great, and I would come by to pick it up in the afternoon . When got their they could not find it. This not a trust worthy establishment. It was worth $67. Don't go to this bar.

I'm gonna call it. This place will be one of the top 3 bars of Excelsior district. Dive bar at its divest. Great place for the everyday hang out with reminiscent hits from the 90's and hits of today playing in the background. Friendly owners and staff. The jerk tacos 3 for 10 is literally bang for your buck. Each one well crafted with ample amounts or shredded pork shoulder, marinated with the perfect amount of pineapple slaw, and topped with an ever so sized jalapeño by chef Lawrence or Larry. The atmosphere is kind and humbly represents the neighborhood I call home. You want to go to a dive bar in Excelsior with me? This is the place. read more
