Great neighborhood bar with live music and no pretense - a rarer find in SF these days...

The Riptide is a fun bar with a brick fireplace. It is a great place to hang out in the winter. They host a surf movie night on Wednesdays. Read more

"Built in 1941, an ocean-side honky-tonk with a small-town lodge vibe and a wild history. Massive stone fireplace, Connect 4 and musical acts. Perfect place to warm up after an Ocean Beach adventure."

Great Neighborhood community. This dive bar atmosphere is for where the real locals converge. Like a tailgate party watching the Giants game in the World Series

Even if the only awesome thing about this place was the maritime atmosphere & decor, it would be a wonderful place for a drink. However, they also have BINGO.

Strong drinks & an old-school lodge vibe make it feel like a sailor’s bar. Just a block from the mighty Pacific, they show surf movies here every Wednesday night Read more

Closed until 2016 because of the fire. Lots of benefit concerts are being held throughout the Bay Area to help them rebuild.

Bring your dog (or some elae's), order a pitcher or beer, and sit at the cool wooden tables.
