They've got a menu to satiate any booze-drinking and million dollar views of the Bay. But the best part is the outside patio, perfect for getting lit before heading over to a Giants game. Read more

Come here early in the morning and spend the whole day. They have sunlight early in the morning until the very end of your awaken hours.

They've got a down-market patio with million-dollar views (but still on the wrong side of the Bay Bridge and a bit in the shadows), pretty cheap beer, and a full food menu with a passable burger. Read more

All around down to earth place, great staff, fun times - I walk in and never know what to expect it could be chill or I could be walking into an all night rave dance party. And that’s how I like it.

Brunch is 💯. The farmer's scramble, breakfast burrito and Burgos ranchero are tops. Go for the large mimosa.

Head here for last call, grab a beer, and then enjoy an eerie view of the dark, serene bay. I always feel like I am in an aquarium in this bar - in the best way possible.

Chillest bar on the Embarcadero. Found solace from hordes of tourists perusing their Alcatraz brochures in the back of pedicabs. Great service. That said, questionable old fashioned construction.

The tiny kitchen puts out a good bar fare; burgers, chilli and a pretty mean quesadilla, helping to soak up the booze on a long night http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/san-francisco/hi-dive

Missed my shuttle and came here for a quick bite. They seated me, took my order and served my meal within 10 minutes, and I'm happily on my way again. Great location too.

"Get your Iron" steak and spinach salad is a fantastic and frequently available "off menu" item.

Food is great, drinks are strong, and the view is amazing. Great outdoor patio to hang out on too!

The BLTA is perfectly toasted and the fries well seasoned. Enjoy with a beer!

Near the Embarcadero? Stop by for a beer and a F Line burger. If you prefer wings or tacos with your beer instead, they have that too. Read more
Gregory TomeiJuly 12, 2018
Good beers, the Kentucky Mule was great, calamari, chicken tenders, chicken wings, and fries all were good!
ChrisJanuary 7, 2018
Great place to get some food to split and beers along the embacadero
Natalie MApril 28, 2015
Great location to grab a drink before a Giants game. Haven't had the food but everything looked really good!
Lynn ForrestAugust 13, 2017
Fish tacos were big and grilled to perfection. Plus, no breading, so gluten-free!
Laughing SquidFebruary 21, 2012
We love this place. Good food. Great patio with awesome view of the Bay. We've had many Laughing Squid Drinkups here over the years.

When its not full of SFGiants fans, this is a great place to hang on the water, and people watch. Also, the french frys are to die for!

Chicken fingers with an IPA and a shot of Bulleit.
Gayle MacciaNovember 26, 2016
Everything!! Fun dive on the waterfront.
Craig VillamorFebruary 11, 2020
Good spot when the weather is nice. Sit on the patio and enjoy the view.
LaurenNovember 11, 2013
Maker's Mark and Patron Silver... on tap. No, I'm not kidding. You're not here for class, you're here to get obliterated. Enjoy yourself. Just make sure to do a shot for me!
Mark DregerAugust 22, 2016
Great location obviously, but the food and beer selection leave to be desired. And pricy at that.
SpikeFebruary 11, 2013
If you love liquor that flows freely from a tap and great views, this is your spot.
Canice MurphyNovember 1, 2011
Always order Fried chicken sando and small beet salad whenever on special. Waitress makes you get your own water which seems odd given the whole tipping concept
Sam GrAugust 4, 2014
Great spot for lunch or happy hour right on the Bay.

Get the fish tacos - they are amazing and come with a cup of their black bean veggie chili
Jray MadarangApril 17, 2013

If Nic is working behind the bar you are in for a treat. Ask him for an Irish whiskey recommendation or about his band, The Green Door

John is how every bartender should be: sassy, personable, and quick. Finding this bar has made my life infinitely better.

This is the place to go for game day. Or the place to avoid.
