    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!

    Fries and mini burger

    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.

    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.

    I am allergic to onions. I ordered my burger no onions. I got a burger with onions. No one checked on us. No one asked how our food was. And it's loud with music and the tv playing while folks are talking.

    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

    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.

    Garlic fries
    Vic S.

    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

    Wow now they have a taco Tuesday. Great tacos al pastor $8 can beat that really good excellent flavor sample I love this place

Pandan Vieux Carré ($22) By far my favorite cocktail of the night - very well balanced, spirit forward but also bright and silky. A5 Wagyu & Black Truffle Old Fashioned ($25) This was also fantastic, rich and buttery old fashioned with truffle accents. The A5 Wagyu is sourced from the Niku Steakhouse local butcher shop! Ube Cheesecake ($19) Wonderful dessert cocktail to finish the night. We didn't have time to try the Escape Room connected to the Speakeasy, but we'll be back! There are two rooms, one in the front with a puzzle theme, and another in the back with a Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings) vibe. Staff was friendly and took time to explain the clever menu to us!

    Lore's Wonderland escape room was a fun and delightfully whimsical experience. **This review is…read moremainly for the escape room, as we did not order any additional drinks outside of the escape room.** THE SPACE // Lore Speakeasy and Escape Room has cool themed decor everywhere, from the dimly-lit speakeasy/bar room in front, to the Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings-themed board game room, to the individual bathrooms, and of course the escape room's multiple Alice in Wonderland-themed rooms. Clearly a lot of effort went into building these rooms and evoking a certain vibe for each. THE ESCAPE ROOM // The puzzles in the escape room varied in difficulty - some required us to think a bit more, some required our observational skills to work harder, and others required a light level of physical skill/movement. We were perplexed a few times but never got stuck for too long, as the White Rabbit (played by Phoenix, the live actor/puzzle master) would jump in occasionally to provide clues over the speaker or in person. It took us about 1 hr 20 min to finish the entire escape room; I thought the pacing was good. THE [ESCAPE ROOM] DRINKS // Lore's escape room experience comes with "a flight of themed cocktails or mocktails, including "potion"-style drinks that are integrated into the experience as you progress", per the website. We got to choose one cocktail/mocktail option (Korean Cold Noodles) from a list on the website, and the other two drinks are pre-selected to supposedly fit into the Wonderland theme, with the flavors described online as "berry" and "peach". You can get both cocktail and mocktails for your party, in case some people want alcohol and others don't. We all enjoyed the flavor of the Korean Cold Noodles cocktail, which was refreshing and surprisingly a bit minty in the mocktail version. However, we didn't like the two other two pre-selected themed drinks as much. The "berry" drink gave us cherry cough syrup vibes, and the cocktail version of it was quite strong. The "peach" mocktail drink reminded me of canned fruit syrup; we also were missing the two cocktail versions, though we decided not to ask for them as the mocktail version already was less than impressive. One other missed expectation here was the size of the drinks that we received in the escape room. We were expecting full-sized cocktails, like what they serve in the speakeasy in front. Instead, we found out that the drinks are served in small "vials". Given the size of the drinks in the escape room, combined with us not even enjoying two out of the three drinks, I would preferred to go through the escape room without the drinks at all, and likely pay a bit less for the escape room then. OVERALL // I'd still recommend the escape room as a good one-time experience with a date/friends/family. Just don't expect too much from the included themed drinks! The speakeasy drinks on the main menu do sound unique/tasty, so I might come back again to try those sometime.

The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

Haunted us the remainder of the night (in a good way). * Poinsettia - Wish this wasn't just a holiday menu item. It's fabulous. * Caribbean Snow Day - The playful kid's cup this came served in had us fooled. This eggnog sure packed a punch.
