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.

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.

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.

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.

Cesear salad with avocado

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.

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

Anthony S.

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

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!

Ask the Community - Bartlett Hall

Is it kid friendly?

I'd say so-so. The food options are limited and the vibe is very sports bar. But a kid won't be unwelcome.

Wanting to watch NBA. Will there be a projector? I prefer it on a large screen.

Yes! We have a large screen projector as well as multiple TV's throughout the space.

Do I need a reservation to eat/drink at night? Or is it easy to get a table?

It’s usually easy to get a table but we always recommend making a reservation. You can call us at 415.433.4332 and speak to our host.

Can kids eat here?

Yep. Came for a late breakfast with my 3 little kids. No "kids menu" so I split an adult plate between the older two and shared mine with the 3 year old.

With practice makes perfect!!…read more My first review was spot of for the time. But DAYUM did they PICK UP THEIR GAME! Can I say Grill Lemon Pepper Chicken wings....SO DELISH! We normally ask for DJ as our server. He is quick, thorough, on his game ALWAYS!!! We live him. If he is not available, we ask for Alyssa, same type of attentive service, but just a scoch more serious the DJ. This time we had Michael, he was upbeat laughed with you, and super fun. Thank you all 3 for keeping our table service on point. And the host staff specifically DJ's mom, lmao.... I am horrible I have never got her name and she is just the sweetest and with the thousands of people that dine at Splash, she remembers us, is always so helpful pleasantly refreshing and "keeps us in our place". Lmao.... Love it so much, spending my birthday here in 9 days for playoffs!!! Thank you Splash team, you all rock! P.S. CRAB FRIES, period!!!

Great place to meet up with friends and/or family before and after an event!…read more It's pretty easy to get a seat either at the bar or at a counter since the place is big. There are indoor and outdoor seats. Order the THRIVE CITY NACHOS! It's a big portion and it's a 10/10! The chips are light and crispy and topped with black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and more! I added grilled chicken which made it a full meal for me hahaha each bite when you get a little bit of everything will make you do a little dance since it's so good! hahaha

One of only a handful of Packers bar in the city, but it is the best hand down!! Doesn't matter if…read moreyou're a fan or not, they always have all sorts of games being televised at any given time. It also gets pretty full before Giants games since the bar is only a few blocks away from the ballpark. It's also a great place to meet people too... I've met individuals from all over the world including Peru, Argentina, Germany and Japan just to name a few. First off, you cannot go here without trying the Wisconsin Cheese Curds. I have personally been to Green Bay and I must say that these are the closest I've ever had to the real thing, no doubt. They're crispy, soft and oh soooo cheesy!! I also love how for every Packers touchdown, us real fans get jell-o shots! Fun fact: The tradition of the shots was started by a lady named Jackie... Real sweetheart! Well, she sadly passed away about two years ago, but they still continue that tradition and even dedicated her a nice plaque that's proudly displayed on the wall. Also, if you're a fan of bleu cheese, you'll definitely want to try out the NY Steak Sandwich as it comes with a yummy bleu cheese aioli! Even as a regular, just know it's kind of hard to get the bartender's attention if you want to order a drink or food as it gets kind of hectic around the bar area on game days. Don't be shy... Just wave em down and they're super chill and happy to take your order:)

Nice dive bar like, locals atmosphere in the heart of San Fran. Just 3-4 blocks, and an easy walk…read morefrom Oracle park. We left the game early to have a couple beers and a snack. Sat at the bar and ordered a Busch light and a black cherry Nutrl. We also had a couple Guinness drafts. Wings were good sized and very good. I had them cooked naked with the buffalo sauce on the side. They give some celery and carrots too (and just the right amt to finish and not waste.) They aren't breaded which I like...just a wing sans sauce!. The place filled up with locals after the game and it was a joy to spend our time here. Pleasant and cheerful bartenders, friendly patrons, even in spite of the Detroit Tigers kicking the Giants butts! Would definitely return again

We were in San Francisco with family and looking for a bar that stayed open late on a weeknight…read morewhen we came across The Lark. By the time we arrived, the kitchen had already closed, but the staff kindly let us know that we were welcome to bring in outside food. They recommended Joyride Pizza next door, which turned out to be a great option to enjoy with our drinks. Both bartenders were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The music selection was also really good and added to the fun, lively atmosphere. We stayed until around 12:30 a.m., and even more people were coming in as we were leaving--it definitely seems like a popular weeknight spot! We had a great time and are glad we found The Lark. Good drinks, great bartenders, fun music, and a relaxed outside-food policy--what more could you ask for? We'll definitely return the next time we're in San Francisco!

We ended up at The Lark completely by chance, and honestly, it turned out to be the perfect place…read moreto spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon. We started with a couple of cocktails? Hotel Nacional and an Espresso Martini and both were expertly made. Balanced, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for. They set the tone for a great afternoon. Later we added an order of chicken wings and a cold lager, and everything came together perfectly. Good food, great drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere made it easy to stay longer than we originally planned. What really stood out was the overall experience. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was stylish without feeling pretentious, and the entire place had a welcoming vibe. The Lark turned an unplanned stop into one of the highlights of our day. It's definitely the kind of place you'll want to come back to and we certainly will.
