Afterwork bar is Hayes's neighborhood sports bar. This place is usually easy find a seat to hang and chill on a weekend. However, they do fill up at least 20-30 min before any important semi-final game. They share an adjoining corner with The Bird and Super Duper, which delivers food directly to your table via QR code. I like the tenders, burgers, and you can never go wrong with the curly fries. My one qualm with it is that the main bar area is a little too stark white, modern, and soulless. I wish they would incorporate some sports memorabilia and cozy vibes -- like the woodsy accents of an Irish pub or something that makes people want to sit there for hours. read more

Great place to gather with friends and watch a game. Has some outdoor seating, which is very nice. The food is bar food. That said, the online ordering system leaves a lot to be desired. They just have runners bringing food out to you, so if you need something like utensils, water, or condiments you have to ask either via the app and wait 10 min, chase someone down, or go to the very busy bar and ask the bartender to take a break to get some ketchup. This wouldn't be an issue if the pre-loaded tipping options for "service" (HAHAHA) didn't range from 18-25% (HAHAHAHA), which is obnoxious. So sick of the tipping culture where businesses prompt for ludicrous tips for doing very little. Pre-loading 25% for the act of walking a burger from the kitchen to my table? GTFO, management fools; pay your staff better. read more

Afterwork Bar - Burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Stopped by Afterwork Bar and it hits that rare balance of neighborhood sports bar and trendy Hayes Valley hangout. There were games on throughout, but the crowd was an eclectic mix--locals, groups of friends, a few date-night tables--so it never felt like a stereotypical rowdy sports bar. We started with the fried cauliflower and curly fries to share, and both were excellent. The cauliflower was crispy, well-seasoned, and not overly heavy, while the curly fries came out hot and perfectly crunchy--super snackable. For mains, we each went our own route. The fried chicken sandwich was juicy with a crisp coating that held up, and the toppings were well-balanced and had a kick, with quality ingredients that made it feel a notch above typical bar fare. The custom burger was cooked to order and built exactly how requested, but was a bit too greasy for our liking. Service kept things moving without being intrusive, even with a lively crowd. Overall, a good go-to spot if you want to catch a game but still enjoy solid food and a more diverse, laid-back vibe. Would definitely come back and give it another shot. read more

Three stars for the great happy hour prices and the decent drinks and apps. Sadly, zero stars for the service. This is a seat yourself, place your order online and someone brings your order to you kind of place. We came here for happy hour after work and since none of us had been before, we weren't sure how the place operated. When we asked for water, the server rolled their eyes and went to get some for us. We later realized it was a get your own water kind of place. A better approach would've been a polite explanation that water is self-service. Another server slammed our order down on the table and walked away without a word. Maybe we just went on a bad day but this is definitely not the kind of service I'd expect anywhere. Would I come back? My colleagues resoundingly say yes because the prices make it worth the rudeness! read more

Ive stopped by the Afterwork bar a few times, its a great place to grab happy hour with colleagues, to come by for their trivia nights, or just to hang out and enjoy a drink! The last time I stopped by, we had a happy hour with some of our work colleagues and grabbed a table outside. The service was quick, placed the items with the QR code, and the server came out swiftly with the drinks to us! We also ordered a few appetizers to share such as the nachos, fries, and tots! The place can get a little busy sometimes but when we went, everything went smoothly, quickly, and tasted great! read more

The nachos and wings were absolutely delicious! The nachos were loaded with toppings to include beef, cheese, and jalapeños. The wings were perfectly cooked, seasoned just right and juicy on the inside. Definitely a great spot for comfort food and hang out with friends. read more

New favorite Happy Hour spot in SF. Some of the cheapest drinks and eats, I swear. The place was packed but the outside seating saved us. The guy inside helped us out. The QR code at the table is how you order. The drinks and food came out QUICK. We got the mini burger and loaded fries. Food was delicious. The vibe is very sport bars inside. The whole service was very convenient especially before going to a concert nearby. If i am in the area again definitely coming back. read more

Afterwork Bar - Fries and mini burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Honestly a worthwhile visit for their margarita pitchers alone - they have both regular margaritas and spicy pineapple jalapeño. We came here for trivia on a Wednesday evening and ordered 2 pitchers for four people. We also got the corn nibs (pretty good) fries with 3 sauces (also good) and curly fries (underwhelming but about what you'd expect - greasy and not too many perfectly curly ones). It looks like they partner up with local fast food spots to offer fries, super duper burgers, and fried chicken sandwiches. Would rate it 5/5 for margaritas at a great price, but 3.5 for greasy bar food. Service is good, though you order with a QR code so I mostly spoke with staff to request water or bussing. The trivia is really difficult but pretty fun if you have a group. I'd come back for trivia or Loteria. read more

Watched the World Cup Quarterfinals here and it was so much fun! The vibe is just low key yet energetic and friendly. Food and drinks can be ordered thru QR code (Toasttab) so service is efficient and food tasted really good! Must try the cauliflower and wings! read more

A Total Standout! If you're looking for a spot where the atmosphere is as curated as the menu, this is it. I've been here a few times now, and they manage to nail customer service every single time! * The Drinks: The cocktail list is inventive without being pretentious. I highly recommend the cosmopolitan --it's perfectly balanced and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. * The Food: You can tell the kitchen actually cares about presentation and flavor profiles. They were fast to bring the food. * The Service: The staff is attentive but gives you enough space to actually enjoy your conversation. my server/ bartender anthony was knowledgeable and gave some killer recommendations. Ask for him! I love i here! read more

Perfect place to go for happy hour after a day of working. The happy hour specials were perfect and exactly what we wanted: a pitcher of mango margarita and potatoes in all the ways. We order loaded fries, regular fries, tater tots, and loaded tots. By the end we were stuffed...and there can be never too much fried potatoes. Service was great. We scan the QR code and someone comes out with the cold drinks and the hot food. Then they come back to clear your plates or bring more food. read more

Hi Sammier! Thank you for responding. I actually went to the cashier and ordered there first, but when I placed my order they asked if I was just ordering drinks. I said yes, and they told me if that was the case then I should go through the restaurant and order at the bar. I walked to the back and placed the same order at the bar that I did at the register. The prices should be the same in both places if that's the case. Please make sure your staff are clear and upfront about the pricing difference in the future. The spaces are connected so it isn't clear that they're sending customers to an area with a different menu and pricing system. read more

Came here early Saturday night after dinner for a quick drink. The inside was seat yourself anywhere and you order from a QR code. The prices of the drinks are great! They do happy hour all day and the staff made sure we ordered the happy hour price and not the regular price. It's super cute on the inside and I think they provide board games as well. read more

Incredible food, drinks, and service. Staff was friendly + upbeat environment! Would come again

The two times I've been to Afterwork Bar was later in the night when I needed a quick pick me up. It's such an easy place to go to if you're out and about in Hayes Valley due to expansive outside seating (that is also heated) and that fact that you can order everything from a QR code at your table, meaning that you don't have to wait too long for a server, and the food comes pretty quick thereafter. Afterwork bar is also home to one of the most underrated deals in the city, the small biscuit chicken sandwich with a side of tots. The biscuit is a regular size and stuffed with a hardy piece of fried chicken and a delicious sauce. As someone with a smaller appetite, this is the perfect quick hardy dinner or post-going out snack/meal. Even my fiancé who has a larger appetite than me was totally satisfied by one, and the best part is that it's only $7. Definitely one of the best deals in San Francisco. read more

Amazing! Best staff ever! They're real humans who get what you're looking for anytime. The food is great! Who the F else uses rice oil for fried sh#%?! Cool vibes! They just left the pride month soundtrack on full time... No negatives. PERIOD. read more

It's kinda nuts as this place is a mix of sports bar and hangout spot with a chicken shop attached to it. That said, it's a nice place to pop in or sit outside and have a beverage and a snack. I'd imagine you could watch the "big game" here too but I usually avoid those crowds, so you'll find me here on quieter days where it's less packed and I can watch the crowd go by instead of be packed in with them. read more

a good place to chill/watch the game! they have a bunch of board games to play too which was fun. you order on your phone through a qr code read more

Afterwork Bar - paloma and beer - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Inappropriate, dangerous, and unprofessional management. On 1/23/2026 A group of friends and I were sitting outside when we witnessed on patron repeatedly striking another man who appeared unconscious or severely intoxicated. I went inside to alert staff. Both bartenders laughed and said these two individuals engage in this behavior "all the time". A manager was notified, laughed, and offered the same response, explaining that the individuals were regulars. Despite raising clear safety concerns, no action was taken. When I returned outside, the assault was ongoing and the individual remained unresponsive. Shortly after, a friend identified the situation as a possible overdose. We administered Narcan and called 911. The individual required two doses; AWB did not have any Narcan available. Fortunately, we were able to obtain an additional dose from a nearby bar and get the person emergency medical care. Throughout the incident, management and staff failed to intervene or assist. Afterward, when I suggested that teh bar carry Narcan and expressed concern about the staff's initial reaction, the manager angrily responded "that is none of our business". These individuals were seated at AWB's bar. This was a medical emergency and a safety issue, and it should have been treated as such. I am posting this so upper management is aware of how this was handled. Multiple patrons witnessed the incident. read more

Came here to watch the NFL season kickoff, great bar with lots of TVs, good prices for drinks and friendly staff. The service was fast and plenty of seating in the back. We came with a pretty big group and got seated quickly even tho other bars were full. We ordered chicken sandwiches and garlic fries from the bird and they obv did not disappoint! I thought that I can handle spicy foods, but the spicy chicken sandwich has got a major kick to it, and the garlic fries saved me a few times. If you're not a hardcore spicy food eater then stick to the normal chicken sando. Side note: the QR code for the menu wasn't working for us and so we just ordered whatever came to mind, eg a bunch of chicken sandwiches and fries. We would have definitely ordered much more or different foods, but when we asked our server for suggestions he didn't seem to know the menu. We had no idea there was wings, loaded tater tots, a much more extended food menu until later on after we left and the website/QR code finally worked. Not a bad thing since our server didn't try to up sell at all but just an FYI for those who may run into the same issue with the QR code and want other food options read more

Swung by Saturday afternoon around 3 PM. It was a nice day so we sat at one of the outside tables. There was a QR code where you could order and either open a tab or pay immediately. Our group ordered a few pitchers of beer and wings. A few of us also ordered some chicken sandwiches. Their tater tots are to die for. They had a TV showing the game so we could still watch outside which was nice. The server was very nice and attentive! Nice spot to hit up in the afternoon and would def come by again. read more

I wanted to love this place since it's such a nice spot to hang out with friends in Hayes, but unfortunately we didn't love the food. My group tried some happy hour items: - Nachos: the cheese tasted fake for some reason like it was made out of fake or really processed cheese (like cheez whiz?) - Corn ribs: interesting idea, liked the nice crunch but just ok in terms of taste - Wings: the wings are really small, which makes sense for the price. the sauce on it just wasn't anything great, and the texture felt like chicken wings that had been sitting out You have to order yourself via a QR code and payout via mobile, but the people there seem really nice. I just wished the food was a lot better. I totally get that it's happy hour prices, but there are definitely much better happy hour deals in the city with great food options. Maybe we tried the wrong items, but I don't think I'll be back to try the other menu items. read more

Our bartender Edward let us taste a few wines. He made recommendations. His service was prompt but not clingy. She who shall not be named loved the tater tots. And at 4/plate, a great buy. My vegetarian blue cheese "burger" was memorably excellent. The Caramelized onions added zest and texture. Thankfully it was not swimming in mayo. Mayonnaise suckssssssss. Music was present but not too loud. A diverse mix of tunes added to the vibe. Will definitely be back. Check it out. -- workingman's gourmand read more

AWB is a convienent spot to meet up in Hayes Valley. They had a wide selection of beers on tap. I wasn't a big fan of the ordering system here. They have QR codes that you can open and close tabs with. I ordered online, and a friend who is a regular warned me that they may take a while to bring my drink out. It took me about 20-25 minutes to get my drinks that I ordered. It doesn't sound like a system that is working well with a regular advising against doing the QR ordering and then being right about it. Another thing I saw was a mouse crawling around near the back. Obviously those things are hard to control with how SF can be, however it didn't add to a not so great experience my first time here. Maybe next time! read more

Go here for the drinks! The bartenders are always nice. Other than sports, I don't usually go here for the fun activities they always have planned that are advertised. I'll have to try that one day! read more

I live nearby and have walked by this place a few times but had never had a chance to sit down and try out their menu items. Last Friday I finally had that chance and I'm happy to say I've found a new local spot to grab a bite and drink at! My friend and I got to Afterwork Bar around 1:30pm and there was a ton of outdoor seating and TVs with the games on. Inside there was also ample seating and even more tv's however it was slightly more packed in there. We opted to sit outside for the fresh air and there was a QR code on the napkin dispenser which directed us to their online ordering system/menu. Ordering was super easy and a staff member, Juan, came out to give us waters and walked us through the online ordering process. While he was able to take our order, we opted to try out their online ordering system to see how accurate they got our order. Our drinks came out first and the dry apple cider was delicious! We ordered tater tots, hot wings, fried cauliflower to share. The fried cauliflower had great seasoning and paired with the sauce was amazing! The tater tots were also great because who doesn't like tater tots?! The hots wings were my favorite, I like how they had the perfect sauce to wing ratio. Typically other places either put too much sauce or not enough. Not pictured was my friends veggie burger and my single patty burger. My friend stated their veggie burger was one of the best they've had but wished there was a tad bit more hummus on it. She said the veggie patty had lots of flavor and loved the cucumbers. I had a single patty burger and opted to add-on bacon. It was a delicious, juicy burger topped with just the right amount of sauce and toppings! If you're looking for a good spot to watch any games in Hayes Valley then I highly recommend you check out Afterwork Bar! They have a great happy hour menu with food and drink deals. FYI their happy hour is Monday to Friday 4-6pm. Overall the staff was very friendly and attentive, they checked in on us periodically to make sure we were doing ok. I will definitely be back again to check out their happy hour! read more

I've walked by this place many times but have never checked it out, but I'm glad I finally did! Inside is quite spacious with lots of bench tables, and each table has games (Jenga, trivia, etc) that you can play, how fun! There are good deals on certain beers ($3 IPA!!) and food prices are reasonable. Service was also super fast. It's a nice place to bring friends for a casual drink, will def be coming back! read more

I've lived in the neighborhood a while, and only recently came across this spot! I am so glad I did! There are signs for trivia night all around this spot which I will be back for!

Good vegetarian options available. read more

Low key spot in Hayes Valley that we popped by before watching a show. We snagged a seat outside where you can order your food or drinks online. They serve Super Duper burgers and a variety of drinks including beer (pitchers), wines and cocktails. Ordered a beer, pink panther and French kiwi juice online and they brought them out pretty quickly. Drinks were fine, but nothing special. Prices were also competitive for the area (cocktails were $12). They setup heaters and a few TVs outside. Would I come back? Definitely, if I'm looking for a place to have a casual hangout or to grab a quick bite or drink in the area. read more

Checked this place out on a Friday night since I figured it wouldn't be crazy busy like other Hayes Valley restaurants without a reservation. It's a casual atmosphere with sports playing on the TVs. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and drink. Fried chicken sandwiches from The Bird and burgers from Super Duper? Yes! I was initially confused since there isn't a Super Duper nearby but they told us they share a kitchen. The cocktails were also really tasty. Got the Blackberry Smash and Yuzu 75 and both were good. The Maui Waui IPA was also refreshing, not too bitter. read more
