Bar · Polk Gulch · 28 tips and reviews
Ryan Stenson: Great bar for wine and bottles beers. Chat up the bartenders - one of them made all the art!
Sabina B.: Great wine selection and friendly bartenders. Vibe is more of a chill dive bar despite the Victorian decor. Free pizza on Monday nights!
Kristin S.: Great wine, amazing service, best rice crispy treats you'll ever taste.

Stephen Smythe: Come for the cocktails and stay for a legit bottled beer selection: Eclipse and Bottle Logic Darkstar November round out the choices.
Josh Ferrara: Fantastic neighborhood bar. Good calm vibes, fantastic drinks, and an impressive spirits menu. I’d recommend the “After The Gold Rush”.
Om Ami: Great neighborhood bar with craft drinks and great ipa's on tap. Feel free to bring your pups too! Dog friendly!

Dive Bar · Lower Haight · 292 tips and reviews
Travel Channel: With over 50 microbrews on tap and 100 bottled beers, this is a great stop for an afternoon drink. As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
Brad Graham: Daytime drinking is a tradition here, as it is in any great city. 50-plus microbrews on tap and 100 bottled beers. Jukebox with no Grateful Dead policy
Mazda: Arguably one of the best beer selections in the Bay Area. They update their menu daily, so there's always a new beer to try.

Ryan: Hit up the Father's Day Brunch. The setting is amazing, and the food is very good as well.
Soo Wai Eng: Very good Sunday brunch!
Trishia Pascobillo: Afternoon tea for two, with champagne was lovely. Had the 100 anniversary tea...loved the florals and warm scones :) The Pear finger sandwich was my favorite.
Thaisa Fernandes: The food is delicious. They have some South Africa wines. And the price is affordable. The staff are very friendly.
Doc Pop: Coming for the gluten-free Injera? Be sure to call ahead of time to confirm. They often use wheat with their teff, but if you call in advance they can make a special batch for you.
Scott H: Vegetarian combo for two. We always think it won't be enough, but it always is. Great service and delicious food.

Eastern European Restaurant · Inner Richmond · 18 tips and reviews
Chris Weigert: The potato pierogi and the chicken schnitzel (and the sauerkraut!) were fantastic.
Linda Braubitz: Ah-mazing but a lil pricey. I will pay for some good home comfort foods. Pierogies, schnitzel & saurkraut. I make my own & theirs is a rival to mine. Don't miss this gem.
Jim Fazzone: The kraut is absolutely perfect. Wish the pierogi were fried hard, but that's just the way all the places back East did em. Lamb shank was solid!

Seafood Restaurant · 30 tips and reviews
Brian Strauss: Really fun. Good martinis -- ask for jalapeño stuffed olives. Fresh seafood -- the skillets with crab and mussels and shrimp are buttery goodness.
Peacheaz Brown: The place is under new management...food is not as good.
M K: Been coming here for 20 years with my dad. It's not nearly the dive it once was, but every meal still starts off with fresh French bread and a shot of clam juice.

WhiskeyAvenger: Great spot! I’ve been going since it was the Rat N Raven,Coyote Club and in its current incarnation. The 2 constants are a great patio and great beer selection.
Brad Fitzpatrick: Ask Olivia for her business card.
tina 🏄🏻♀️ 🎟🎹🎼🍜🍣🥃: Awesome Bloody Mary. Spicy. Nice outdoor seating too, like a mini biergarten.
