Bartlett Hall is a great spot, especially during the holidays. The decor is so warm and festive and welcoming, with sparkling lights, holly, and seasonal touches. I got a spot on the leather couches by the fireplace, which I loved, and it made the whole space feel warm and cozy right away. The beer is amazing and it's easy to see why it's award-winning. There's a solid variety and everything we tried was really well made. The cocktails were so on point, and the burgers were delicious!!! Service was friendly and attentive without hovering, which we really appreciated. Overall, it's just a consistently good experience with great beer, good food, and a cozy holiday vibe. Definitely recommend. read more

Bartlett Hall is in a prime location in Downtown San Francisco. From the outside it looks like an old theater, but it is absolutely everything but...it's a beer hall with a decent but small menu. The drinks are not bad at all. The food is above average, it's nothing to go crazy about but it does get the job done. Tip: Dont wait in a hostess or waiter, seat yourself and order from the QR code. Overall the service is good, the food comes out when it's ready so you won't get everything at once. And yes the burger comes with beyond salty chips so maybe pass on those and go with the fries. I can't give 3.5 stars but that's what it is, def not a 4. read more

In the downtown area. Nice atmosphere with bar and regular seating. Cool staff. The fries were hit but chicken not the hottest but both had good taste and not a long wait. Drinks from the bar were good. Also has tv's at the bar. read more

Smear the Beer Gastropub and highly-awarded seven barrel brewery located in Union Square that's been in operation since 2014. We needed to kill time between a play and dinner reservations, so we decided to pop in to try a few of their oat sodas. The Good: *Great selection of beers; everything from German lagers to IPAs and even darker beers, like Porters, which are becoming somewhat rare at microbreweries. *Food menu is definitely on-point for a gastropub. Didn't partake, as we had reservations elsewhere, but I'd definitely come back to try. The Meh: *Service was friendly, but a bit clumsy. I'm not sure what happened, we were told to order thru the QR code, which I did, only for the server to come and try and take our order. I informed her I ordered via the QR and somehow she ends up canceling it and then it turned into a whole kerfuffle. All that for two beers and a soda. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *I like the ethos of this place and the idea behind it should be amazing but eh... Something about it was sorta strange and gave me weird shitty dive bar feel, as opposed to a hipster gastropub that I was anticipating. Maybe it's the weird purple lighting? I dunno. *As with all things SF, parking will always be an issue. There's paid street parking (if you can find any) and parking garages around the area. The Ugly: *Someone in the back was clearly medicating their, ahem, glaucoma. Not to sound like a square, because I'm really not. Cuz your boy gets down with the green, if you smell what I'm smoking, but maybe not at work. And definitely not where the customers will get a contact high. Conclusion: Great beers, but the rest I'm not so sure about. read more

Came in before heading to a concert nearby. The ambiance of this place is great, love the decor. Ordered one beer each with my husband and shared the fish and chips. Food is a bit pricey ngl, but it was delicious. Would like to come back and try more beer. read more

Really bad service and the bartender waited on his friends who came in 12 minutes after us. We sat and waited to order a beer and he gave them theirs first. It was only after I rolled my eyes that he asked for our order We left without ordering. Forget that place is my advice read more

I loved that Bartlett hall let you add avocado to your cesear salad and the portion was quite large and filling! Our server though looked like he didn't want to be there which did it make it a little awkward as a customer... Pub with long tables to easily sit large groups or there's a cozy fireplace in the entrance for small intimate groups. read more

Do not recommend. There are many other restaurants in the area that offer better food and service for the price. Food was very mediocre. I ordered the chicken strips and the pepperoni flatbread. The flat bread was good, the chicken tasted like something that would come out of my air fryer at home. The service was slow and they got my order wrong twice. I had to walk up to the bar to ask for things I ordered 40 minutes ago. We had a party of four and when we asked to split the check they stated "we are busy and that would be difficult, so no". When we explained that we had to get itemized receipts for reimbursement they finally agreed. Left feeling like I spent a lot of money for some really mediocre food and service. read more

We made reservations here for the 49ers playoff game and overall we're happy with everything. The food was solid but we were mostly drinking. The staff was getting slammed. The servers were fast but I think they only had one bartender so the drinks were coming out a little slow. Not sure why they only had 1 bartender on a crazy busy day like this. Overall I would come back though. read more

So the place it's spacious and the ambiance is great. The beer prices aren't all that bad either. I didn't stay long only because I came for a sour that was posted online but the menu didn't have it when I arrived. I might come back another time but tonight I'm not vibing to the beer selection read more

Food: 4/5 Enjoy the HH dishes. The Cajun style shrimp with garlic bread was tasty. The shrimp were also a nice size. The chicken wings were ok, nothing to rave about. The drinks were delicious! Cold, somewhat strong, nice start to and Saturday around 3pm. Service: 3/5 The staff was quick and attentive when available. Because the items were ordered through the app, it takes away the interaction with the servers, so sometimes things might take a bit longer if there's a special request. Ambiance: 4/5 Very nice, warm fireplace and the decore has a very nice American rustic feel. Everything seems very clean and updated. The seats are comfortable at the high top seating. Bar looks great! read more

Came with my friend we where scoping it out for a Super Bowl watch , we sat at the bar and the bartenders Lizandro an another bartender it was his first day where so great.

The server stopped by and paused her phone call at the table to greet us. She came back 5 minutes later, still talking on the phone, to take our order. The music was cranked up so loud we could barely hear her. Another customer shot across the room to pay as seems to have been waiting a long time. We ordered and she went back on the phone and worked a laptop sitting on the counter. She poured my beer and left it sitting there for a solid 10 minutes while she played on the phone and laptop. We tried to flag her down but she didn't notice us. Since we were approaching 15 minutes of my beer sitting there and nothing else was moving in our direction, we left. The loud music was very overwhelming and the inattentive service was distracting. Maybe their porter is good. I wouldn't know, and I was looking forward to it. The clocks are cool. read more

While I enjoyed hosting an event there, I feel very troubled by how things have been handled after the fact. I have been interacting with one of the people there who has not been responsive to my concerns and not offered to discuss ways to make it right. I am surprised that no one in a management position has also reached out. It is very frustrating given I would love to come back there for future events but the way this has been handled after is not okay. read more

Came here after a lackluster experience nearby and hoped for better here - we did not. Service was so awful, though it was because there was only one server for the whole place. Our table ordered food, and two people got theirs and one didn't, and it was like 15 minutes later (and after tracking down the server) we finally got it, and it was cold. Drinks were decent, and the place was clean. Limited food options, and food was meh. read more

The beer, food, and ambiance were great. The stout was especially memorable. The smash burger and fries were delicious, and overall the prices were very fair, especially considering you're in the heart of Union Square. The service was wanting, however. Overall a very nice experience during the hubbub of the holiday season. read more

We came for happy hour which runs from 3p-5p. It was seat yourself and there was ten of us so we really lucked out finding two tables right next to each other. Loved that they allowed kids. Very low key and laid back atmosphere but the bar tender and the server was super busy. I liked how you can use your phone to order and pay or else it would have taken a lot longer to get our orders in. The downside is all our drinks and food came out at different times. Server was very friendly and apologetic about the wait. Pepperoni flat bread was good, wings was amazing. Blueberry beer tasted like a smoothie and hubby enjoyed the porter and blonde saying those have been the best beers he's had recently. Gimlet was made refreshing and strong. Prices were very good for happy hour. $10 cocktails, $10 plates, and $6-7 beers. Highly recommend especially since it's hard to find a place where you can drink at happy hour prices with kids in union square! read more

The service was friendly, but there were very understaffed. Food was fast and merely ok. It could be a cool place, but seems like they either were having an off day or had lost their way a bit. read more

Enjoyed an early dinner with colleagues after attending a conference near by. We reserved a table in advance and got a quiet space in the corner of the restaurant which was nice. We started with calamari to share which was delicious but a small portion. For my entree I had the crab roll which was a special for the day. It was light and fresh, I really enjoyed it. One of my colleagues burgers came very underdone which they corrected on the bill which was a nice gesture. Overall a nice stop to grab a drink and some food. read more

It was quick service & the food was great. General sports bar vibe that was close to my hotel.

This is a great little bar with neat decor. The menu, ordering and paying are all done via QR code cubes on the table and your smart phone. The servers bring you a decanter of water, glasses silverware and your food. The food was great. They do automatically add 18% gratuity so be aware of that, in case you are thinking you could give less since everything is done on your phone. read more

This is a solid happy hour place in downtown SF! Great value, great beers and wines, great bar bites, and great service! Bartlett Hall is conveniently located near Union Square and offers a welcoming and classy yet rustic atmosphere. I have enjoyed their happy hour special a few times now- haven't tried their regular menu yet. My favorites off the happy hour menu are the pepperoni flatbread and California wines! Service is always friendly and prompt; the bar/hall is clean and comfortable, and I always leave happy! read more

While on a business trip, I had the pleasure of dining here for dinner. It was so good I came back a second time (twice in four days). I liked everything about BH from the ambiance to the service to the cleanliness to the food. I ate at the very large bar both nights, and my bartender, Bruno, was excellent at his job. On two nights, I had the grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad and the shrimp po boy. Both were excellent and tasted fresh and flavorful. It is evident that they have real bartenders who care about the drinks they make. Well done! I enjoyed the Perfect King, but my favorite was the Pineapple Express. read more

The food and drinks are good! The atmosphere is cozy and good for kids. We were tucked away in a corner, and it was just right for our family after a very long day. We ordered some appetizers, which were good. I had a salad and a beyond burger, and both were excellent. The kids had pizza and fries. They didn't eat too much, but that isn't on the restaurant. The cocktails were good (I had a Penicillin, he had a Gimlet). One star off because the service was seriously lacking. Our server hardly checked on us, and at the end of our meal, it took a long time for us to hunt her down for the check after she left us sitting (finished) for a very long time. read more

I've been here several times, even during busy days like the Super Bowl, and I've always been impressed. The bartenders are top-notch, handling the crowds with ease while still delivering great service. With plenty of TVs scattered around, you'll never miss a moment of the action. Plus, the food menu is decent and they have a good beer selection -- offering something for everyone. If you're in the Union Square area and craving a drink, this is the spot to hit up. read more

Not a bad place to hit after a long day of work. The "hourly" crew and I decided to celebrate one of our own's birthday and it wasn't a bad thing. We were able to get a table for 6-7 easily. We ordered food from their QR codes and the food came out in 10 mins or less. Pretty impressive for a bar. The service was prompt and the tea was very attentive to refilling our drinks and clearing plates. Would definitely come back again especially in the summer when we can all get together and enjoy over our shared trauma. read more

Bartlett Hall was a quick walk from our hotel (Hilton Union Square) on our most recent trip to San Francisco, so it was a very convenient last-minute place for dinner. There was plenty of room inside and we were seated immediately. They use Toast Tab for ordering so it was easy to browse the menu and order food and drinks easily. My wife got a spicy shrimp dish that she really enjoyed and I had the buffalo cauliflower, which was also quite tasty (both were pretty spicy). We had some cocktails as well and they were very good, but their beer was just so so and I wouldn't get their beer again. It was a solid gastropub and we enjoyed our meal here. read more

Simple bar food and nice selection of beers. Service was steady and offered the option to order via QR code. Gets busy but comfortable.

Loved this place. Fries were very crispy, burger was juicy, and the fish and chips were also great. Would highly recommend this spot especially if you're looking for a chill place over the weekend to watch sports and eat good American pub food. read more

Had a great Happy Hour experience while waiting for a play to begin. I found this place because it was a short walk to the theater and the most affordable restaurant in the area. The buffalo cauliflower, flatbread and salad were delish and the vibe was cute! I was able to sit right in front of the fireplace. The bartender was also super sweet and attentive. He was the only one working at the time I was there and still came over to check on me often. I would definitely go back. read more

This is a nice gastropub to stop by for a simple pick me up after spending the day in downtown SF shopping. It's a bit dark inside and the wood interior contributes to the dim lighting. This makes it a little difficult to read the menu. It's a casual place for a bite to eat and have an adult beverage. It's not exactly little kid friendly (especially if you get a high-top table), but teens will be fine and they'll be able to find something they like to eat. margherita pizza https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pfKQDeA3jtvU9c9prUYOAg&userid=isQotFiKU_S_TI4Qt4MtMQ fried pickle https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ffdfdGJISUY6Vtc6pDTPRQ&userid=isQotFiKU_S_TI4Qt4MtMQ read more

We were so grateful to the staff at Bartlett Hall for serving our informal gathering where friends and family could connect after a show at the Curran Theatre. They had space in the back that worked great for our party of 40. The food was served buffet style timely and phased so there was fresh food coming out, and they quickly and efficiently took and served a wide variety of drink orders. Great selection of drinks and food and drinks were tasty! And reasonable. They were very easy to coordinate with. Many thanks to Pamela and her team for the memories! read more

This place has been around for many years. The food is excellent. They have a large menu. The ribs were amazing. Customer service was excellent and waitstaff was very attentive.

Met a friend at this location because he wanted to go to a bar to watch the game. We got some snack food (sweet potato fries and buffalo cauliflower). Not sure if it was because I wasn't hungry but neither were really great. The bar itself was cute and very packed. Huge screen for the game so that was a win. Service overall was pretty bad. My friend and the female server had some serious issues as she was completely ignoring him. She did NOT look like she was having a good day but really rude and unprofessional conduct. Other staff seemed okay but we didn't interact with them too much. Likely will not come back as no aspects of the overall experience were really great. read more

We arrived at about 1:30pm for lunch, at the time we were the only ones there. This restaurant is beautiful with lots of food to choose from and drinks. We had a party of 5 , everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was great! If you're in Union Square great place to try. read more

Rate : 8 It's the holiday season, joy is in the air people are in high spirits and it's definitely a good time to visit San Francisco on a cold December night. The Bartlett Hall is a hotel and restaurant filled with classic IPAs and other wonderful drinks as well. Review : Drink : " Shirley Temple " This is a classic drink among the young and old wether you want it on the rocks or just plain and simple they got it. I pared mine with a bottle of sprite and one hundred percent cherry syrup with no added ingredients. Food : " The Ruben Sandwich " Coming in with Housemade Corned Beef with Point Reyes Toma Cheese and Bacon Sauerkraut and finishing it off Russian Dressing. It was a great sandwich to sink my teeth into and the meat was nice and tender with a little kick to it. I would try it if your in town or looking for a bite to eat The service was fast and efficient you and you pay right at the table. read more
