    Catered BBQ from MJ, served at Bus Stop on NFL Sundays
    Kevin Y.

    Great neighborhood sports bar to watch football on Sundays. To make things ever better, they usually have food on NFL Sundays. It's usually either Mexican food or BBQ. Fun atmosphere for games no matter which team you root for.

    Nice place and great friendly atmosphere. Very crowded sometimes, but it confirms the level of the place. We enjoy playing billiards there with our friends. Also good beer selection. Cheers!

    My boyfriend and I are big fernet fans and this place did not disappoint! Cozy seating and great for a night out if you're in the area

    Came here with friends on a Saturday to watch a soccer game! It was super packed and the vibes were great! There were lots of screens all around the bar, which made it easy to watch the game despite it being really packed. We weren't able to get a table, but that's likely because we arrived midway through the game. I would definitely come back here to watch more sporting events!

    Frat town is the best way to describe this place. I came in during college football Saturday and it was packed to the brim. There isn't much space to sit so come prepared to stand for most of the time. During peak hours they will turn the pool tables into standing areas which you can use as a table. Definitely a sports bar with younger folks and very cheap drinks. Don't expect frills or fancy cocktails but definitely a good time!

    Bus stop is an okay spot overall, but the energy on game days is unbeatable. The food and drinks are pretty standard, nothing special, but it's a great place to catch a game with fellow fans or during alumni events. The vibe really picks up when there's a big game on, and the crowd makes it fun. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere and a place to cheer with a crowd, it's worth a visit! They have alumni events for UGA games on Saturdays

    Complementary pesquales pizza on Sunday game day!

    This is the neighborhood spot. Perfect for lonely Saturday mornings when you need to talk about your breakup and need a drinking buddy and not feel judged with 9am shots-- shout out to staff there, as you guys are amazing!! Also, excellent place on rainy weekend day where you wanna get rowdy, people watch , and not break the bank. I'm summary- this place is a good time, anytime. Get there early if you want good table for game watching. Lots of TVs though! There is usually a great food truck outside and you can bring your delectables inside. Sometimes though, you'll get really lucky and pesquales will deliver pizzas on the house for all bar goers. Yeee!

    Great spicy Bloody Mary's, you're able to bring your own food in and they have not one but TWO pool tables in the back. Young crowd at night on the weekends, the bartenders are super friendly, and the general corner bar neighborhood vibe is amazing. Cin cin Bus Stop!

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!

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.

It's also a cool destination for friends visiting from out of town. It's hard to pass up hanging out at the oldest bar in San Francisco, made partially from parts of a shipwreck! It has that classic, old-timey neighborhood bar feel without feeling overly touristy. The staff is always so nice and welcoming! The drinks are great (I think I've had most of the cocktail menu at this point), and the food is delicious. My favorite cocktail would have to be the Pimm's Cup, though it's hard to choose just one. Food-wise, we've had the burger (mine with a Beyond patty), the patty melt, chicken mole nachos, quesadilla, chili, clam chowder, and mac & cheese--can you tell we come here a lot? I haven't personally tried the meats, but the mole sauce on the chicken mole nachos is delicious, almost as good as the mole my parents make. The burger is so good and is my usual go-to, with sweet potato fries. I'd say we've tried a good majority of the menu at this point, and we've never been disappointed. I highly recommend it for a chill night with friends or to watch a game. There's also a small outdoor area that's great if you're looking for a quieter evening. We usually only sit outside when we bring our dog (she loves bars--might have a drinking problem).

Great little bar in the FiDi, open late, and serves food late at night which is a huge plus. Even after a celebratory dinner, we couldn't resist getting the quesadilla here again - this place makes one of the best quesadillas I've had. Get it with guacamole, which they fold into the quesadilla. The drinks are good, and reasonably priced, especially for SF. Good selection of beers. When you walk in, you'll feel like you're on the deck of a ship - or like you've had a few too many - because the floor is slanted. Fun place, and draws in the local crowd. See you soon, Old Ship. Probably this weekend, as we continue RB's birthday celebration.

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....
