Suggestions for Dive Bar near Downtown San Francisco-Union Square, San Francisco

Zack W. • January 10, 2017Great cocktails (Gimlets especially good) great classic US dive bar vibe being channeled in here.

Brett N. • May 12, 2014Best Dive bar in the area. Great service from Tia.

Amy B. • September 12, 2014The bartenders are awesome and make you feel like they've known you forever and make everyone feel welcome. Perfect neighborhood bar with good food to boot 👍

Nick J. • August 24, 2014Anything with pisco, but the pisco punch is the best you'll ever have.

AskMen • August 11, 2010A place with a modern take on classic libations, and a clientele that's a raucous mix of office workers letting loose and mixology aficionados. Try the Sazerac with locally distilled Old Potrero Rye.

Christian B. • September 6, 2016Excellent Trader Vic-style Mai Tai and the space itself is well-designed and comfortable.

erinsauce • October 3, 2018Great pizza and cocktails. A nice space to hang out before a show at August Hall (upstairs).

Chris R. • October 27, 2018Huge selection of local (and not so local) craft beer on tap. Pro tip: order curry fries, egg and a sausage - makes for a filling meal!

Tim B. • December 24, 2019Great, low-key bar/cafe in the Axion Hotel. The menu is limited but flatbreads and service are excellent.

Ashley M. • June 23, 2015This is how ritual is done. One of the best cappuccinos I've had using ritual espresso, and it's not packed, and the barista was chill.

Yvonne K. • August 7, 2014HUGE selection of beers for every palate. They also have fun arcade games to entertain you!

Martin A. • July 5, 2018Awesome hidden bar in downtown SF. They accept credit cards. An awesome change of pace from the Castro bars. Worth checking out!

Cole K. • October 25, 2018Lovely experience for anyone interested in wine, especially from one of the most renowned estates in California. And an opportunity to try a $160 bottle of wine for $30!

Pete I. • December 19, 2011Fantastically crafted cocktails, low seating is very cozy and hip. Make sure you dress up otherwise you'll feel out of place. Great ambiance, my second favorite bar in SF.

Priscella K. • August 14, 2014Omg.. Free truffle popcorn and olives. I love this place!

Maria C. • June 22, 2014Pork belly and pork adobo melt in your mouth. The seafood bake was a generous portion of shrimp, scallops and sausage all done to perfection!! These are all part of the summer menu come try it!
