Burnt pizza

My review is solely about the food (two pizzas and a burger). Both pizzas were burnt (photo below). They also did not tell me that the pizza trays were burning hot when I went to pick them up, so that was fun to carry back to my table. Our order took 45 minutes- the order confirmation said to check in with the cook after 20 minutes. Instead of letting me wait for our order, the cook made me leave and come back around 3 times for our order. So great service too. Don't order food from here. It's terrible.

Chic 'N' Stu pizza sponsored by System of a Down
Sandy G.

This is a late review in honor of the System of Down & Deftones Concert at Golden Gate Park Weekend in August of 2024. This bar was the ideal spot to start the weekend before heading to the System of a Down & Deftones Concert at The Golden Gate Park! The pizza "Chic N Stu" pizza sponsored by System of a Down was fantastic--crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and absolutely satisfying. Pair that with their great selection of drinks, and it was a winning combo. They also had a collaboration with Deftones The " My Own Summer" burger. The atmosphere was lively and set the tone perfectly for the weekend ahead. Whether you're there for the food, the drinks, hospitality or just a good time, this place delivers.

Went here for an after work event. Great venue with lots of draft beer selections! They have both indoor and outdoor seatings.

This place is a great place to have a quick hamburger. They have a whole bar in addition to some great food here. The tacos tasted pretty good. The service was very friendly and the ambiance of the place was really good. I highly recommend coming here for a bite to eat but be prepared to be amazed at this place.

Drag show

5 stars for their epic drag brunch that happens every second Sunday of the month. Stoked to check out their drag bingo. The vibe is laid back and punk rock moto so expect graffiti and a rugged atmosphere with that hardcore feel but with a plethora of drink options and a dope backyard patio. We got the hard kombucha and an iced tea. Everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks. And the brunch menu, delish. I suggest the tacos and corn.

Cool dive bar/beer garden close to Market Street. Great in house food options, lil game room moment, good beer menu. Good music. Perfect after work spot, or in my case chill spot after dinner in downtown SF.

Cheeseburgers and tacos

6 months later and Zeitgeist is still a staple in my life. new year's resolution: try every burger of the month. They put up a tent in the back for the rainy winter, so they still give a great vibe outside during the cold season. brought my friends here last min to grab a pitcher, pizza and catchup. perfect location. I'm a big burger fan here but today we split a pizza and it filled us up, great to share between 2-3 people. Two pitchers of local norcal beer, ash trays on tables, great music. came last wed and jammed out to a live surf rock band. i always overhear their wrestling nights and really want to come out. i can't recommend zeitgeist enough... so much beer... great creative food... have you seen their merch line... WOW

They serve food here but we just came for drinks. I love their patio. even tho it was a bit rainy it was still nice because the tables are covered. they play punk/rock music here but even if u don't listen to this music it's still a fun vibe.

I have been to Zeitgeist many years ago and when I finally returned for a birthday recently I realized I have been here. Parking can be kind of tough on the street. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, tons of outdoor seating but it's the city so always remember to bring a coat if you get cold. They have a full bar, glasses, pitchers, and many sizes for beer, cider, etc. they also have a full bar. I heard their food is pretty good too. They have a QR code to scan and order from and I heard their burgers are good. The restrooms are outside in the back. Good time and lots of space to hang out with friends. Service is great, bartenders work hard.

The only bummer is the Tamale Lady doesn't come here anymore but I never really came here for food anyway.

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.

You can order drinks directly at the bar or find an open seat and have a server take your order. It took us about 10 minutes of walking around before we finally found a table. Although the service was a little slow at first because of how busy it was, once we were helped, the experience was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The food is definitely on the pricier side, but it's well worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the martinis were especially impressive. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline, The View Lounge is a great choice. The combination of great cocktails, tasty food, and the incredible city views makes it a place I'd happily visit again.

All wonderful For food we had : charcuterie board, prawn cocktail ( HUGE prawns and my second favorite dish), ahi tuna tataki, chicken adobo tacos and the Prosciutto flatbread ( my favorite!) For dessert we shared the Ube Crème Brûlée I wanted to try the house made chips cause they looked delicious but I was too full. Definitely a great place to come and celebrate!

There's zero hint from the outside about what's waiting behind that door and that's part of the magic. Inside? Total vibe. Moody, trendy decor, shelves of great vinyl, solid drinks. It feels like the kind of spot you accidentally stay at way longer than you planned. Greg, our bartender, was fantastic. Friendly without being over the top, and he even gave us bar recommendations all over SF, which was a nice bonus. We ordered the Mi Sharona and the El Mariachi. The Mi Sharona leaned a little sweeter than I usually go for but it was still really good. The El Mariachi, though, was the winner: just the right amount of spice, subtle and balanced, not overpowering the drink at all. Love this spot.

For $15 a cocktail, it's definitely one of the more affordable spots in the city. Came here on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't busy, probably since it was quite early in the day. We got 2 drinks: - The Green Room: this hands down is a great cocktail choice especially if you're looking for something on the lighter side. I would recommend this if you are unsure what to try. - I don't remember what the second drink was called but I do remember it had roku gin in it (not sure if it is the gin and juice). It is definitely on the stronger side. If you do not enjoy gin... you will not like this. Was not expecting it to be so strong. Overall, I like the vibes of this place and like that it is open on the earlier side. The drinks felt a bit of a hit or miss, but we only tried 2 of them.

While not as good of deal as it once…read morewas. it still offers a good value for food and drinks that will more than satisfy your craving for Mexican food. 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.

First of all, I should preface this review with acknowledgment of a minor bias. Being from the Bay…read moreArea and having lived in Oregon for the last 6 years, there is a chance I may have hyped California Mexican food in my mind too much; I don't think so but there's always a chance. Had lunch here with some colleagues (I've been here before but it's been 10+ years). In general, the group found the ordering method a bit wonky. It falls for me into the category of one of those spots who did some things for Covid and has continued those practices because they seemed to work. You go into a line and order entrees at the first station; but it's not clear which ones and some are precooked and some aren't. But you don't order beverages or sides there you do that at the register. Seating is self service and you grab your own napkins and silverware at the bar. Fine; but if you don't know no one is going to tell you even if you ask. Food - pretty decent food. I got the shrimp plate. Rice and beans standard - and lots of them. Shrimp not too many, but I was not super hungry. Salad, lots of it but wilted hot and weird. I could have gone without or preferred some escabeche. Tortillas; corn, store bought IMO. Ceviche; not bad not great. Guacamole same. All in all I ate about 1/5 of my plate and had plenty so if you want to fill up and have a bit appetite this is for you:

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
