Good selection of slightly overpriced beer. Then they added 1.39 to the price for tax and fees.mostvplaces include it in the posted price.

As a local, it’s a great combination of a neighborhood get together and a tourist rest stop. Great food, great drinks and always a fun atmosphere. The brunch food from Noon-3pm each Saturday + Sunday is incredible.

A block off the main strip but I really liked it here with a fun bar menu.The gentleman helping me was very nice... --I initially wanted the espresso martini on the menu with tequila. However, it seemed that it was already premade. A lot of places that I've been to just leave it at that but the bartender took it upon himself to make it with a little twist.So that was pretty cool. It started to get crowded after a while but he was attentive and kept checking up.The drinks were really delicious.Usually, I try a special cocktail and then resort to tequila sodas after. But I had a few of these bad boys, perfectly crafted.I didn't try any of the food but they had a selection of salads, corn dogs, etc.I'm not in the city too often but I'd definitely come back here again if in the area.

James was absolutely incredible! Our time here was better than expected. We felt at home here. Our old fashions were delicious and the conversation was even better! Visit today. You wont be disappointed.

I'm late to the party on this place but it has recently become one of my go to spots in north beach. When Maggie McGarry's and Tupelo get too packed, I'll head to The Showdown for place that's more relaxed but still has great energy. The bar tenders are nice, good variety of drinks and they serve food as well. They also have a pool table, which is a fun amenity.

Super cute place. The bartenders all complimented me which was super sweet. And the lemon pepper strips are what made me write the review. That f**king slapped. Also Valentyna was super cool.

The guy behind the bar with a man bun that needed a shower was very arogant and needs to improve on his customer service.If I owned that bar I would be concerned on the future of the establishment as it wasn't a welcoming experience for visitors.

Can't give it the full five stars as I didn't eat on this visit, but I'll update soon. Drinks were great (thanks James), and the overall vibe of the place was spot on. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, but no one was too rowdy, which was a welcomed change compared to some of the other bars in North Beach.
