If you're looking for a "Cheers"-type tavern with regulars who look epoxied to their seats and an interior heavy on vintage atmosphere, this neighborhood bar fits the bill. It's been in the same location since Prohibition was repealed, and the history of the bar is described in meticulous detail on the pub's website. This is definitely no trendy pick-up joint for Gen Z drop-ins. As you might expect, they have a robust calendar of events encompassing bingo, trivia, live music, and dance parties. However, more important to me, they make a half-dozen specialty cocktails and a half-dozen Bloody Mary variations. I've enjoyed the $10 Palomarg, a refreshing hybrid of a Paloma and a Margarita (photo: and the $10 Madonna Inn, a bright mix of rum, Campari, ginger beer, and orange bitters (photo: They don't know my name, but they're always glad I came. DRINKS - 4 stars...creatively good cocktails at reasonable prices AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...if you like vintage pack rat, this'll be the place for you SERVICE - 4 stars...felt like Norm TOTAL - 4 stars...taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot RELATED - Exploring the Outer Mission? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed:

Perfect neighborhood spot, fantastic old school soul music on Friday nights for lowriders and mod kids. Great regulars, and fair prices in the city.

This place was once a representation of pride and the city. Hard working respectful people that built this beautiful town. It's become a house of very respectable gals. I hope they never raise their standards or prices. But yea if u respect yourself or the city don't go here.

We used to come here on a more regular basis, but the bar itself is pretty dirty, (not grungy) and the overall vibe seems to get drunk / wasted amongst the regulars. If you're looking for the men's room, it's literally the door to the right of the bar itself, and the women's is up the stairs to the left.

if you haven't already been, you were supposed to be here
Classic neighborhood spot with lurid red decor and a chilly neo-psychedelic soundtrack. The lighting (red) and seating (red) imbue a slightly evil but undeniably energizing aura to those who enter this vaguely womb-like space. Worth a visit.

Is very different from what it was years ago.
Gerald Bonachita
Great vibe. Cool staff.
Robert Wolk
Great place for a beer and good times

We came one Friday and had a great night. Unfortunately we came another night, there was a different bar person who was very aggresive from the start to the point where we had to leave because we were afraid
