A cornerstone of the fan district that has been around since the 70s. It’s a home away from home to many, and whether you go for brunch or dinner, you won’t be disappointed. Strong pours and big smiles. Just boo

I have been going to this place since the '70's and it never dissapoints! A fun lively place, good vibe, and food is very good. A very popular small restaurant and bar in the fan district!

Sometimes it can be endearing for your bartender to be a bit of a jerk. Not here. Big, old guy with the beard is a different level. He made my friends and I not want to order anything. One of my friends ordered an old fashioned and this dude acted like his world was falling apart. The rest of us got martinis and a similar response out of him. The only one he treated well was the one who ordered a canned cider. Genuinely ruined the whole experience. The lady who served us last time we went was incredibly friendly. But this time we had the unfortunate luck of having him. I've had bad service but this was a different level and I will never complain about anywhere else again. Think he was hammered too.

Walked in to this dive bar with a New York City vibe. Surprisingly has extremely tasty food. Very competitive for taste given that many restaurant workers frequent. The sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had

Hey fellow Yelpers, Happy New Year and looking forward to another year of great food and fellowship with you all! First up @bamboocaferva bamboocaferva So now I know why they are always packed and for sometime now that's why we never got a chance to go but a couple weeks ago we saw our opportunity and so glad we went! There was a booth available and even with the growing crowd our waitress was top tier, she took time to give us her recommendations, paced our visit to ensure our food was piping hot! Cute little corner neighborhood style restaurant which is definitely a staple in the Fan. With that being said Mimi was on #carriebradshaw and ordered a Cosmopolitan (4/5), "big girl drink" that packed a punch, the vodka was definitely at the party, and to eat she ordered the special :Sea Bass with Fresno chili chimichurri over oven roasted potatoes (5/5) fish prepared and seasoned perfectly where the chimichurri was a perfect accompaniment and the potatoes were well seasoned and crisp. It came with your choice of starter and she chose the vegetable soup (2/5) it lacked salt but the veggies were tender. After some suggestions from our lovely waitress I opted for the steak and cheese (4/5) well seasoned and tender steak on an amazingly soft roll, good size overall a good sando and upgraded to the onion rings which are all the rave in the foodie groups and as an onion ring connoisseur I will definitely agree (5/5) perfectly seasoned and fried and the onion was not stringy and it remained in its batter after biting into them, I need more, . Righteous If you haven't gone yet: go! I will be back to try brunch. #foodielife #onionrings #seabass #steakandcheese #cheesesteak #chimichurri #rvafoodscene #latenight #dinnertime

The brunch bartender is the rudest woman I have ever been subjected to. She has yelled at me multiple times!

This a great hidden gem with fantastic food and wonderful staff. It's a great place on Saturday afternoon to enjoy time with the regulars and also a busy location for night time. I highly recommend giving it a try.
