Jack OsborneNovember 19, 2014This place is legit and easily in my top ten bars. Everything from the Dutch door to the backyard make this place great and I haven't even mentioned the food, beer or decor.
Upvoted Mar 3- Sarah GreshowakDecember 18, 2013The grilled cheese and tomato soup were tasty. Great little casual bar in the area. The patio is really nice too. Tuesdays- $1 off drinks for ladies.. Happy to have this place in the neighborhood.
Cleo YoungAugust 27, 2014Great brunch! Board games to play while you eat. Chicken&waffles are small portion, I'd recommend supplementing with egg slider (also pretty small). The scrambles are amazing and a ton of food.
Jill PrimostFebruary 22, 2015small space inside but there's also a back patio. fried mac and cheese balls are a must, and they have a ton of fun games. great spot for a group if you can snag a table.
Tasting TableOctober 17, 2014Grab a beer after work at this unostentatious dive with an impressive draft selection. We love the Sycamore for its neighborhood feel, its back patio and, oh yeah, its beer. Read more
Grace YoonJune 18, 2016Great fun lively place w/ dope vintage jukebox. A pitcher of white sangria is an excellent purchase for group of 2-3. The mural art on the exterior is fascinating, too.
Rad staff, bottomless mimosas, a stellar brunch (hello, carnitas benedictos), and the most perfectly random juke box ever. Fun board games to rent. Outside back patio seating is always fun.
Max Tatton-BrownJanuary 13, 2013$11 = perfect lamb slider, perfect fried chx, perfect crunchy fries and a nice pint of Alaskan beer. I'll be returning any time I'm within 100 miles, a hidden thrifty gem.
ShaenaFebruary 23, 2015Really chill atmosphere. Also the bottomless mimosas are truly bottomless. Yummy brunch food. You can hang out all day. Fun card/board games to play too.
Pavan KulkarniOctober 11, 2016They play some amazing rock music here. The outdoor patio is like Zeitgeist but small. 21st amendment beer and Mac n cheese poppers are something you can order- Constant rotation of taps with some classics and some relatively unknown beers at a cheap price. Games, bottomless brunch, and a backyard. This places crushes the game.
Great local spot to grab a beer indoor or outdoor. The handles rotate but never disappoint. Check out the back patio.
Awesome beer list,with delicious bar food. As well they have a great patio for drinking and smoking if you are so inclined. Service is friendly and attentive to boot.
Always an interesting collection of beers. Great food too. Wish the place was bigger. Usually too crowded for me. Cool patio out back with cool murals!
Tom CoatesJanuary 25, 2019This is such a nice little bar with good beers and a wide range of sliders and snacks. Has a nice little back patio that’s open in the summer too.
All of their food is amazing. It is difficult to choose which is better: big collection of boardgames or delicious beers
Patio, cider, games, location, jukebox and staff: top notch. My friend got banned for life after going behind the bar to add volume. Now I go by myself.
Heather CallawayJanuary 1, 2015Get the roast beef-but if you get mayo, get it on the side.Seriously, must've been over 1/4 cup of mayo on it.
Great taps, a nice little patio, laid back crowd and cheap mulled wine. What more could you want? Well maybe a lamb slider or two.
MarvinFebruary 4, 2018Great communal space in the back to share a drink with other locals in the mission.
Elliot CullenJuly 2, 2013The sliders where great, but very small for 3.50 a piece. The food also took a long time. Great bar with tons of board games!
Monday night trivia night is where it's at. Even though half the bar couldn't identify the number of Senators in the US Senate...
Wednesday night bingo on the back patio is low key. Make sure to keep your ears open for the free rounds of Jello shots.
Order lamb and fried chicken sliders at the bar (+ their wicked good fries), and then head out back to the patio where all the cool kids are
Frequent rotation of great beer selections, cheap tasty sliders, punk on the juke box, heated patio, movies out back and board games to boot.- The fried Brussel sprouts are divine but definitely for sharing
Alden CatesMarch 2, 2018The chicken and waffles are amazing, but put off by “handle it yourself” seating—not very ideal on Sunday. No seating list either. Peak SF restaurant nonsense. There’s a back patio to eat at as well.
Try the Fried Mac And Cheese Bites - #kvpinmybelly - So cheesy! I also loved the crunchy bacon bits.- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The lamb burger sliders are the best sliders in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition." Read more
There's a fun outdoor area in the back! Also beware of their bottomless mimosas (they don't let your glass get empty).
Nimalan MahendranJanuary 31, 2016Montreal beer night was fantastic! Had a great winter ale and the poutine was top-notch.
Andrea CastanedaMarch 18, 2012This place is our Sunday Funday. Board games, bottomless Mimosas, and the best food! This is a gem people.
Great beer selection. Easy to meet strangers on the outdoor patio. Wednesday Boingo is a lot of fun
The Mini JohnMay 14, 2015Cool little corner, I like their taste of music & the little "hidden" open backyard {thumbsup}
- Try the Fried Chicken and Waffles - #kvpinmybelly : #Brunch w/ @CateCauguiran. Adored waffle stuffed w/prosciutto & manchego cheese. Yum!!
Nilla SivakumarAugust 3, 2021The sliders are delicious and (for both bar food and SF food) extremely reasonably priced!
Venkatesh HodavdekarDecember 13, 2015They have Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas. Get any dish with their awesome gravy. It's worth it.- Try the Lamb Sliders - Love the lamb slider, but not the egg slider. Also; amazing fries!
Kristin WaymireFebruary 15, 2014Salmon Benedict and bottomless mimosas are bomb! Outdoor seating in back patio (picnic bench style)
Go on a sunny afternoon, sit in the back, and order some sliders - the chicken are the best I've tried. If you're extra hungry, try the mushroom appetizer.
StephanySeptember 9, 2018They serve mulled wine all winter. Perfect to cosy up with when beer seems too chilly.
Excellent bar food and a small, but good, beer list. My favorite bar in the city.
Keefer TaylorJuly 15, 2012Saturday brunch with bottomless mimosas may be the best thing ever. Kim rocks
Go for the back patio, great draft beer selection and decent pub food!
