    Stop by this SF classic tonight for an Irish coffee (on an average day this bar serves around 2,000). If you're hungry, go for the seafood cocktail. After all, we are near the water. Read more

    Excelente café irlandés, cerveza fría y una atención brindada por el personal de este lugar que te transporta 50 años atrás en el tiempo. Un clásico de San Francisco que no te puedes perder.

    Me gustó la proporción, el sabor y la rapidez con la que llegó el pedido. Aunque me sentí ignorado todo el tiempo mientras esperaba, habría sido bien un: "buenos días, ¿desea ve la carta?" Al menos.
