I had the Paloma drink and got him the strawberry probiotic. He liked it's I liked mine and added my tajin on my Paloma lol. The vibes are immaculate with a cool dj, pool table and they gave out raffles too! I enjoyed the food and it was busier the sooner it got to 7 but we got blessed with great seats and the host and security were so kind. Thankful would be back again to kick it here again.

My wife and I dropped by Sam's Tavern to watch a few World Cup games and it was just the vibe we…read morewere looking for. I stopped by around 4:30 p.m. and there were a few tables where I saw folks finishing up their work day on their laptops with a beer. It's neither overly crowded, nor overly loud, which is perfect for getting work done. Since it was the World Cup and many guests would be camping out for the entire match, table service has a per person minimum spend of $25. This is a really a non-issue because a cocktail is around $15, so two drinks, or one drink with some food, will easily hit this minimum. My wife and I shared crispy pork schnitzel ($17) and an order of their deviled eggs ($12). The deviled eggs were nicely seasoned and included a small salad shrimp on top for some variety. The pork schnitzel was perfectly fried and the potatoes in the included side-salad was well-cooked and not over dressed. I would recommend enjoying the schnitzel with some mustard. Both drinks that I ordered -- an Old Fashioned and a Boulvardier, were well prepared. No notes here. Service here was top notch. Throughout our stay, our server checked up on us multiple times and we never had to wait long to place another order for drinks. Tipping options on the receipt include pre-calculated 18%, 20%, and 22% options (on top of the 5% SF Mandate). Last but not least, the restaurant had clean bathrooms and a bunch of large TV screens on every wall. If you're looking to watch a sports match, Sam's Tavern is the place to go!

A bartender (piercings, tattoos, black sunglasses and hat) aggressively yelled at me for sitting in…read morea chair he claimed was taken -- even though there were no reservation signs and two chairs were open in a packed house. I told him I'd move when the people arrived, but he kept making a scene. When they showed up, I gave up the seat and stood while finishing my food (as I told I would do it) -- which still seemed to bother him. Later, he refused to serve me anything else and even told staff not to serve me, claiming a "manager" instructed it (which wasn't true -- the actual manager was nice to me later on, and got me drinks). I tried to handle everything respectfully, but I left feeling anxious and mistreated. I've never been yelled at like that in a restaurant before. I'm leaving this review, but for a moment I seriously considered taking this further due to the embarrassment and harassment I experienced. I tried to handle everything respectfully, yet I left feeling anxious and deeply mistreated. I sincerely hope management is properly instructing staff to treat customers with far more professionalism and respect in the future.

The place has a relaxing atmosphere and good music, friendly service, and when I went it wasn't too busy, so the food came out pretty quickly. I ordered The Smoke Buddy, which came with a rack of ribs, beef brisket, half a chicken, pulled pork, pickles, and two sides. I went with the baked beans and potato salad, and everything was flavorful and well cooked. There was plenty of food to share, and it was a great way to try a little bit of everything. I also had the Spicy Mango Margarita, and I'd absolutely recommend ordering one. It had just the right balance of sweet, spicy, and refreshing. Another plus was that I had no trouble finding street parking nearby. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a really enjoyable visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. If you're looking for a good BBQ spot in SF, check out this place, it's definitely worth a visit.

Great place to watch sports games with many TVs surrounding the entire place, that you can see from anywhere in the bar. Looking forward to hanging out on a normal night. Glad it's still here and rebooted! Great neighborhood bar that feels familiar and low key. Also good for those who aren't recent college grads vs. other bars on the Marina.

What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking.
