    Been coming here for years. Great bartenders, just be patient and friendly if it's packed. Plenty of good liquor choices and the prices aren't the worse either. Good for drinks if you work in the area

    This SOMA bar does Taco Tuesdays about as well as you can do them: with $2 carnitas tacos and $2 beers. The special runs pretty much all day, and they've got a sun-stroked back patio. Read more

    Mars Bar, an SF SOMA district staple, brings live DJs and drink specials starting every Sunday from noon until 4pm. No matter the temperature, guests can dine indoors or out on their heated patio. Read more

    Hit up the heated outdoor patio after work and snag $3 bottle beer and 1/2 price Buffalo Wings on Mondays, $2 Tecates and Tacos on Tuesdays, and cheap pizza and beer on Wednesdays. Read more

    The real draw is the tropical patio, where a legit tiki bar kicks into actions when the patio fills up. We're also fans of the bar inside, where regulars and locals make up a refreshing non-scene. Read more

    I think maybe when it's warmer this might be a good place to hang out. A lot more of an older crowd now since the concept of a day party is very much stale.

    Pretty chill bar on the outskirts. They do a Sunday brunch with guest chef's and a DJ. Great patio as well.

    Salmon sandwich is very good. Large screen TVs to watch Giants baseball and DJs spin records at night ("thumbs up" on the music)

    Don’t come for the food — I had the most forgettable ahi tuna sando of my life here, and the fries had an odd flavor, too. Many cocktails are far too sweet, such as "For Whom the Bell Tolls"

    Mars has permanent ice caps at both poles, and they are made of mostly carbon dioxide, which makes dry ice, so this place is pretty cool.

    The Fox Barrel Pacific Pear is fantastic! Fermented using 100% pure pear-juice and Gluten-free!

    Bread is well worth it, but a lot of other things are outrageously overpriced

    One time I hired a monkey to take notes for me in class. When I told my mom about it she said, "I told you ta never trust a monkey!" Get the burger.
