Dear Cody, "To love is to dream. Too often, to dream is to hurt." It's one of the many jaded expressions in Football that we all eventually experience. When we experience it, and only when we finally do, do we truly appreciate the painful wisdom embedded within those words. It's only your first World Cup, Cody, and you are already feeling the heartache. You spent much of the tournament at Kezar Pub, which you endearingly refer to as "the pub". Daddy lived his first World Cup with Goo-Ma in a more humble fashion -- through an antenna-enabled 18-inch television. You, in privileged contrast, were surrounded by probably more than 18 wide screen TVs and the best sound system in the business. Brilliant equipment aside, Kezar's atmosphere is inimitable. There is something special that spurs Daddy to share beers and jello-shots with new friends. That pub is a beacon for good times. I have many photos of you in your WC shirt sampling pub favorites with uncles and aunties. Bangers and Mash was a hit. Maybe a bit lukewarm on the Shepherd's Pie (Daddy loves it though). The Fish & Chippies though? Cody ate enough of the English staple to justify the face paint. I do NOT have videos of you receiving trinkets and high fives from the best owner and best pub staff in the world. I certainly do not have a video of Daddy screaming profanities whenever a certain scumbag referee gets on screen. Oh hey Cody, bullying players and referees is never okay, but also sometimes absolutely necessary (another wise Football adage). I do not have a video of you screaming We All Like Vindaloo after a goal. No videos of you sitting in the community benches doing Sprite-cheers with Portuguese / German / Swedish / Dutch / Mexican / Norwegian friends we shared seats with. Nothing of you flexing the Arsenal shirt you have underneath for whenever one of our boys scores (Kai Havertz scores again!!). I wish I did, but Daddy does not have a video of us pointing to the red number 10 shirt bellowing "Na-Na-Na-nananana! Nananana!" What we do have are memories that'll morph into stuff of legends. Legends we share with each other for a lifetime. Yes, we'll have the pain, too. Daddy's first dream was shattered by a red card in '98. Although, you know Cody, I don't actually remember the red card too well. Daddy's most visceral memory of that tournament was the wonder I felt as I kept asking Goo-Ma if Michael Owen is the fastest guy in the world. I still feel that kid-like wonder again whenever that moment floods my memory. Thats why Daddy thinks it's our good moments that stays with us. Cody, we had so many of them. The heart-stopping penalties we watched on the couch. The Jolibee-fueled game nights on Fridays. Those incredible, incredible times at Kezar Pub. Maybe years later, your most vivid memory of your first World Cup won't be of the gutting loss, just like Daddy's isn't of the '98 red card. Maybe years later, the moment you'll feel again is that Saturday against Norway. That feeling of triumph and jubilation and fearlessness  and that surreal feeling of singing Hey Jude with ALL of Kezar. Football hurts. And maybe it'll hurt again for many more tournaments, many more years. But you also know all the love that comes with football. Love that comes on the badge on your shirt, love that comes with going to Kezar Pub, and of course so much love in singing your favorite songs. After so many years of following the tournament, maybe Daddy can give you his own wise football expression: Don't let the possibility of hurt ever stop you from singing, Cody. "60 yearssss of hurttt, never stopped me dreammming"  Love always, Daddy read more

This bar has gone downhill if you are a bay area sports fan. What was once a mecca for 49ers fans is now just a corporate owner sellout bar catering to transplants from out of town Walked by earlier today not only were they flying an Eagles flag, but the whole bar was full of gross Eagles fans. Shameful! read more

Reviewing based on a Doordash order of wings with a side of the pub fries. I definitely need to come here in person, because I was very surprised at the quality of the wings when compared against all the claims that this has the best wings in the city. I found the wings to be relatively average in size, but the texture and the amount of sauce was definitely off. I prefer a crispier, saucy wing and this checks neither box so unfortunately it wasn't my favorite. However, I will definitely revisit this review when I can visit in person and have them fresh! The fries were pretty good, definitely what you'd hope for in terms of portion size and quality. I paid ~$25 for the 10 wings and the side of fries, which is just a tough pill to swallow if neither option is really great. read more

I had been wanting to try the wings here ever since I was in a kickball league in the 2000s in Golden Gate Park. You know what they say, there is no time like the present! The wings were fantastic! Why did I wait so long to try them? Crispy edges and a perfect buffalo sauce with a little kick. My mouth is watering as I type this. Bonus- bowl for the bones. Not too many places do that and the feature commands respect. I also had a classic margarita and it was yummy. Great for a hot day. Games were playing in all the tvs and there are a lot of tables to watch from. This spot is a great location to watch a game with friends and enjoy some pub grub. Let's go Giants! read more

The Kezar Pub - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

Kezar Pub is a solid, spacious neighborhood spot with a standard bar feel and a decent vibe. I stopped in while waiting for my daughter's class at the Sharon Art Studio, specifically looking to catch the NBA playoffs. It's generally a good place to watch a game because they have several TVs, but during my visit, they were showing way too much baseball. Having multiple screens on baseball was a bit boring; they definitely need to prioritize the NBA more when the playoffs are on. The pub food is good, and I noticed that the burgers and sandwiches are surprisingly priced lower than the wings. On the recommendation of my server, I opted for the Philly Cheesesteak over the Fish & Chips. The cheesesteak was okay--not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst--and it was quite large and filling. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, though ultimately a bit mid-tier. Service can be spotty at Kezar, but it was perfectly fine during this latest visit. Overall, it's a reliable Haight-Ashbury staple if you're looking for a filling meal and a place to catch some sports, provided they have the right game on the screen. read more

The Kezar Pub - "The Philly Special" - Philly cheese steak sandwich - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

A great spot to watch a game, with fantastic wings that some say are the best in the city, and honestly I have not found anywhere better. The place gets loud when a big game is on, but that is exactly what you want from an Irish sports bar. We were there for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, World Cup soccer, and UFC 250 all in the mix, and the place was packed with great energy throughout. The Guinness pour was excellent, clean lines, great head, perfectly poured. As a busy sports bar things will not always be spotless when it is packed, but the team did a great job keeping the bathrooms clean despite the volume on such a busy day. We spoke with the owner directly and he made sure we had a TV tuned to the hockey game, a genuinely nice guy who made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back. read more

Love it here!!! Great atmosphere with loud music but it's not annoying. You can eat outside too but inside is where it's at. Nice fifa World Cup vibe right now and lots of fun drink and food choices. You can't beat the tuna melt here! It's just perfect! The service is friendly and prompt and the chicken wings are cooked perfectly crisp! Clean space to eat and cool merch. Always a great time at the Kezar pub!!! read more

I ordered the fish and chips for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The fish was super crispy and fresh when it arrived. The piece was also big and I made two meals out of this one dish.

$12 for a Guinness at 2:00 on a Friday afternoon? I'm sure it was eight or nine dollars a few months ago.

Hands down best wings in the city I wouldn't waste time anywhere else. Only other spot I'd go to would be San tung but they only have one flavor. Loaded potato skins were really good it was my first time getting them. Went for the nfl draft and it was not as busy as I thought it would be. Service is always excellent there. read more

I went to the Kezar Pub with friends and my 12 year old son to eat some wings and watch the World Cup qualifier games. When we arrived the front of the bar was packed with soccer fans. However, the game we wanted to watch was being shown in the back of the bar and they had the nerve to charge $20 a head! In order for you to go to the bathroom you will need to go through the back. When I walked to the back there were like 4-5 people tops on the benches watching the game I wanted to watch while the front bar was packed. I'm not a bar owner but wouldn't it make more sense to show all the games for free while people spent money on drinks and food through out the bar. The waitress was also not good she gave us a thumbnail size of ranch for an order of wings. She also got our drinks wrong and when you ask her for more ranch it also came with a side of attitude. Needless to say I'm never going back to the Kezar Pub I didn't like the ambiance it was small dark and cramped plus they only showed some of the games for that day and when we asked to put another game we wanted to watch on the small TV (That was free) they said that the fire stick is not working. So the Kezar Pub does NOT show all the games. I give them 2 stars for the homie that was guarding the door to the pay per view section yes, there was a security guard charging $20 to go to the other empty room and he was so sympathetic he was like yeah bro "I know it's some BS I know but u can catch the score if you like." A real one. read more

Back again! The food here is delicious and the drinks are nice and cold. They have a bar area with bar seating and high top tables up front and then long picnic tables in the back of the restaurant. There are TVs everywhere and every time I've been here there is some sort of sport on TV and group of people watching and drinking along. The wings ($34.95 for 20) here are amazing, they're a good size, cooked well and the hot sauce is delicious. The ranch and blue cheese seem to be house made, and are a bit on the liquid side but tasty. On our latest visit I also tried the Kezar Corn Dogs ($13.95) that come with a selection of four Aidell's sausages in a crispy batter and served with two choices of mustard sauce. Each piece is about a fourth of a sausage and definitely an upgrade from a traditional corn dog. We also ordered the fried pickles ($10.75) these come in spears and with ranch for dipping. These are crispy on the outside and flavorful. Great with a beer. Really, all the food is delicious and they have a breakfast menu as well if you're there for an early morning watch party. It can get busy and VERY loud here though, so don't expect a quiet date here. When we were here last there was a group drinking, standing on the benches and singing/chanting together. They were having a blast, but it definitely makes having a normal conversation difficult. They also have some outdoor tables and there is a parking lot super close by that you can pay to park in. read more

Ambiance - the place to watch the Niners away games, so many screens, great views. Service - attentive and not pushy, frequent check ins and friendly servers. Food - the Buffalo Wings are as advertised, very very good! Nice that they open early on game days and that breakfast is available too. Looking forward to next time. And Go Niners! read more

My standing opinion will always be if an establishment in San Fransisco sells Merch it's going to be an amazing time. The Kezar Pub is the perfect place for a loud sport filled social experience. Tie great pub food makes it family friendly The wide selection of drinks and the very understanding service team helps create a comfortable environment where not only will you cheer your heart out, but you'll be eager to come back. Coming here for soccer matches, f1 races, and mma fights is the absolute move 10/10 do recommend read more

I appreciate that throughout the years - Kezar Pub has remained committed to being a true welcoming - local hangout. They've established themselves as a genuine neighborhood spot by having a solid bar menu, being family friendly, having free wi-fi, having a plethora of flat screen TVS to watch international and domestic games, and having an impressive outdoor seating area complete with tables - so you can enjoy a game on their outdoor screen, while doing some casual sidewalk people watching. On the weekends - they open up at 6 am and they serve breakfast options ranging from pancakes, breakfast burritos, omelettes, in addition to a traditional Irish breakfast. For lunch and dinner they serve your typical bar food - ranging from burgers to tacos. It's been years since I've eaten here, but I've heard solid things about their chicken wings and their fish and chips, Few things make me happier - than seeing quality San Francisco businesses like Kezar Pub - still doing their thing - and doing it well. Be sure to stay tuned to their Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/KezarPub to learn about what games they're showing throughout the week. Trust. read more

Perfect game watching atmosphere!! No matter the sport, bartenders are cool and make consistent drinks

$14 for a draft beer?? at a mid sports bar does not seem correct. I bartend and we carry quality high rated beer that doesn't cost more than $10 a pint. If that's not the case then the bartender just overcharged me and took my cash. read more

A pub that truly caters to the fans. Be it a 430am Saturday game or a big match, they open early, are well staffed, and find a way to efficiently navigate the crowds to get food and drinks delivered to your table. On busy mornings, recommend getting there early. Open one tab for the group (Venmo each other after) and be sure to queue up out of the way of servers to order at the bar. Outdoor tables are a nice (slightly quieter) respite. With room to spread out. Check your schedules though, in addition to being a huge Liverpool pub, there is a small but loyal Villa contingent, and a sizable F1 crowd. Pub staples are the order of the day. Love the wings, shepherds pie and English/Irish breakfasts. And please please TIP YOUR SERVERS here. There get there early and go above and beyond. read more

The atmosphere and vibes were good for a sports pub. Food and service were abysmal. We ordered the Kezar Burger and Chicken strips. Burger was mid, not great, but not terrible either. The chicken strips were paper-thin and 90% grease and batter. We asked the waitress if we could switch out the chicken strips for something else on the menu that was cheaper and they refused. They also refused to bring another order or provide a refund stating they couldn't do anything because we "already paid for it". $13 for paper-thin chicken full of batter is crazy. It's fine and understandable that the food will not always be great but the service was very poor and disappointing. The atmosphere for a sports bar is nice, but definitely will not be returning and don't recommend (especially if you're hungry and hoping to eat proper food). read more

Thursday night's in Autumn is made for NFL football. It is the is official start of the NFL week. It is also a good time to enjoy drink and foods . I am usually not a big fan of bar food but at the Kezar Pub it has one of the best chicken wings to pair with at a sports bar atmosphere in San Francisco. Kezar Pub is a sports bar to go watch anything from College Football, Soccer, Basketball or NFL. What makes Kezar Pub unique it is located across the street of the first home of the San Francisco Forty Niners before Candlestick was Kezar Stadium at Golden Gate Park ( imagine if they built the new Niners stadium at Golden Gate Park). Kezar Stadium is also the home field of my old high school the Mission High School football team in San Francisco. Inside Kezar Pub is like stepping into a 49ers history museum with drinks of course. The pictures on the wall showcases the historic 49ers players. This place is a shrine for the San Francisco 49ers Faithful. The chicken wings at Kezar Pub are traditional Buffalo wings that are crispy and have enough buffalo sauce to give it a good tangy tasty flavor. The chicken meat is tender and it's a good to dip with ranch. It is a gem because it comes with carrots. I usually have my chicken wings with Trumer Pils ( on repeat). They serve great drinks and Kezar Pub has a good food menu. You can get anything from house made mozzarella cheese sticks to Shepherd's pie and tortilla chicken soup. I always have to be cognitive coming here that there is a police station just across the street. Come to one of the most consistent sports bar in San Francisco with San Francisco Niners Historics Watch a game grab a drink and some wings and experience the atmosphere of San Francisco sports heroics read more

This is the best kept secret at Kezar Pub: order the Fresh Fruit Bowl. I wanted a break from traditional breakfast fare so I decided to order it. I was skeptical at first, but when this item got to my table my expectations were exceeded. I had a large bowl of fresh fruit right in front of me. There were freshly cut bananas, pineapples, watermelons and grapes. It was delicious! This item came with a small amount of syrup on the side but I found no need for it. read more

Friends wanted to watch the NYM vs LAD game so we went to Kezar Pub! This was my first time here, but everyone I was with had been here in the past. We ordered a plate of buffalo wings and a pitcher of stella. When we got our wings, there weren't any plated given to us (4 people) so we waited to ask. Turns out they ran out of plates so we just had to use napkins haha. They also forgot our pitcher so we had to ask for that as well. The actual vibe of the pub was amazing though, they were playing the NYM vs Dodgers game, the WNBA finals, and a football game as well. The crowd were all super nice and I would totally give this place another chance and come again. read more

Lots of space for a large friend group or gathering and plenty of TV screens to catch any sports game! I didn't order any drinks here since I had already been drinking a bit earlier in the day, so mainly came in for a quick bite before going elsewhere to continue partying it up. I tried the BBQ chicken quesadilla and Korean chicken wings. Both were very good and huge portions. Be ready to share a plate of food with a friend! Some friends in the group ordered pitchers of beer, and they seemed to enjoy the variety that was on offer. Overall had a great time here and surprised by how good the food actually is. read more
