Old timer story. Used to hang out here back in the late 80s. I remember on St Patty's day two bartenders were working; Pat and Paul (I think it was Paul). I think Alex the owner was too. Paul was gay and pretty uptight most of the time. The place was packed and Paul was fed up with the drunken crowd so about 6pm he stood up on the bar in the middle of the room, motioned with his arms like he was dividing the room in half and started screaming in his Irish accent "Everybody from here to the street, you're all 86'd". He went on awhile trying to kick people out but nobody left. We had a big group of regulars who were from Ireland, mostly. Good guys but really drank alot. I guess we all did back then. Not like that now.

This is a great place to drink with awesome prices. The manager Mark is a sweetheart. He made me a special drink, because I can't have carbonation... but I wanted a fruity tasing drink and, it's now my favorite drink . My new go to bar when I visit San Francisco. . They have happy hour prices all the time. I highly recommend.

I used to like to come here for many reasons. Mostly because I've been coming since the 90's. I don't live in the city anymore but when I come back an this is a spot I'll stop. Today came in to do some schoolwork. Took a couple hours. Bought a couple beers whilst doing the work, after I was finished (and during) I was sitting next to another patron named Kim. Cool guy- also from out of town. As I was packing up to leave I said hello to a women (Megan the hair dresser) who was sitting by me for the entire time I was there. Tried to be polite as she looked stressed so I said hello. She lost it and started attacking me for that. I asked her if she hates men she said "yes." Ok man hater bar now.... So much for the height street love- now I'm sitting in the same bar I've been coming to since the 90's and supporting (I've even done a band photo shoot here) and it's ok for women to say they hate men. Then the bartender comes over and ask me to leave for saying hello to the man hater. You literally can't make this stuff up. They have ruined the vibes here with man hating leftists who openly admit they hate men. This woman in the picture should be fired immediately from her job.

They have ruined the vibes here with man hating leftists who openly admit they hate men. The blond bartender should be fired immediately for backing up sexist leftist man hate. Took a shot of her as she was telling me to “never come back” for saying hello to someone. Sounds ridiculous- because it is ridiculous. This woman should be fired immediately.

We've been coming here for 22 years when we are in town. Usually they are amazing staff, unfortunately the bartender charged us $20 for a pitcher of modelo. I gave $2 for a tip and she thru the $2 money back at me, on the bar. We left after the 1 pitcher. Usually we would stay all day/nite. The bar is usually amazing, as well as the locals are great to talk with.

Yes!!! Local dive spot in the Haight. Met up with a friend who took me here and had a great time! Inky was our bartender and she loves her job and you can tell. The patrons were all fun people and it felt like being at a bar with all my friends. Nuff said!

I came here last night and had a great time. I love the ambiance and the music had me vibing all night long. Great drinks at a good price, I would definitely come back again.

Lively bar, stiff pours. Good bar seating and table options, lots of space inside. Tolerant of us playing War card game at the bar. A+ dive.

I have been going to this beautiful joint for well over 20 years and always feel at home here beautiful people community nice staff and just a great overall vibe. Please support this family on business and the beautiful people that run it and support it. Support the positive things in the heat and Cole valley not the negative crap that continues to walk the streets including hardware businesses, hateful people and just negativity. Let's stay positive and only support the positive and flush the negative nails bolts and crap down the toilet.
