Bar with chiefs playing
Anthony N.

Friendly people working there, reasonable prices. My wife loves that they've become a Chiefs bar too. Good selection of beer with some ciders, seltzer, and a non alcoholic beer. I recommend against the cocktails - clearly not an emphasis here.

CLOSED ON SUNDAY AT NOON

THIS PLACE IS NOT OPEN ANYMORE. As many people stated we came on a Sunday at Noon and the place was completely shut down. Apparently they do this every Sunday. Be in mind it's the middle of the NFL playoffs and why they would decide to close during peak hours is beyond me.

Had a great time at Buzzworks when watching the Chiefs game this weekend. This is a KC bar through and through, so if you come during Gameday, expect some loud and rowdy guests. But it's all in good fun. It wasn't actually too busy when we were there, but I assume it does get busier for more important games. We were able to easily find plenty of seating for everyone. They have KC specialty beers that you can't get anywhere else, which is a very pleasant surprise for KC natives. However I have to say I was a little disappointed when I ordered a diet coke and it was a can instead of a refillable glass. My only true critique of the place is the lack of any type of food. When you sit there for four hours, you are bound to get hungry, and although they allow outside food, there aren't many places around to get any. If it did have some snacks, it would be the perfect Gameday bar.

This review is for all fans of Real Madrid. Madridista Asi Asi Asi gana el madrid. Love it. As a Real Madrid fan, I loved the atmosphere here, what an absolute game to watch here at buzzworks, it was spectacular game and the crowd were amazing here. Real sport fan bar club. The roofs were on the go when the Madrid won the game and the crowd were amazing. Get your light drinks before you get in and grab the seats and top floor has the best viewing of the game. Even if you stand and watch its still the best view from the top floor. Watching a soccer game, stay put because you never know. Cheers to all the Buzz Works crew, did a great job and handled the crowd very well. Hala Madrid! Champions

Was in town for the playoff game between the Chiefs and Jags and didn't want to miss the game. My cousin, who lives in the area said that Buzzworks was the official Chiefs bar in the Bay. Headed in about halftime while the 49ers were playing. It was completely full of 49er fans and a few people with KC attire. It was standing room only. As soon as that game was over it started clearing out and all the Chiefs decor went up. It was a blast! It felt like being in KC! Buzzworks only serves drinks but there is a pizza stand outside and you can bring food in which is great. I just wish I knew that before hand! The service was friendly but you had to go to the bar to get your drinks. Fortunately the Chiefs won so it was a big celebration!

a sports bar with a large screen

Great place to watch sports! The best part is that they play the sound!! I hate watching sports with no sound. This bar gets it. There are two levels and one main bar area. Decent selection of craft beers. You are also allowed to bring outside food. They also have arcade games. Overall great place to hang with friends. Would recommend.

Niners win :)

These restaurants seem to wear a lot of hats with different cuisines from everywhere and offering everything . Then there is the minimalist menu restaurants which is more like a one pager of all they offer. One place which should have an one pager is a pizza place. There is a pizza spot in the Mission District which makes extra cheesy pizza in SF. On the menu you will not find no ravioli or angel hair pasta.The menu is not high capping and it's on Valencia street. It's has pizza with mushrooms , sausage and Buffalo Chicken. Dave Portnoy's of One Bite Pizza reviews during this years Super Bowl weekend called this place and Tony's Pizza the best pizza in San Francisco and in the San Francisco Bay Area region and ranked it Elite Tier and it's called Hi Hat. On a September Fall stroll also known as the San Francisco Summer on Valencia street I landed at Hi Hat. Inside it's part bar and part restaurant and the walls are filled with art work. I decided to get the Pepperoni pizza which was delicious with zesty sauce and had crunchy pepperoni. It was also cheesy with extra Parmesan on top and is becoming one my new favorite pizzas in SF. The crust wasn't flaky like some in SF and it had a fold. I washed it down with a STS Russian River which was smooth and a Cherry Limeade which was sour like some in SF and topped it off with a refreshing Shirley Temple with a cherry on top. The Mission District is becoming one of the best place to grab pizza in the city with Angie's , Corey's , The Pizza Place, Pink Onion, and Delfina's . No cap and hats off to Hi Hat for putting Mission District pizza on the map in SF. The Mission is the hot spot for pizza in SF so start the pizza "mapping "this pizza is "packing "a lot punch and a place where you can hear a lot " yapping " and is called Hi Hat but isn't " Hi Capping" They got drinks like Cherry Limeade and an award winning beer from Russian River called "STS" and the pizza has flavor and isn't too saucy so you won't make such a "mess"all courtesy of Hi Hat staff Behind The Sauce also known as "BTS" its located in the Mission between 25th and 26th street in SF and 1432 Valencia street is the "address"

They make great use of the rest of the building with large tables, small tables, bar seating/standing room, plus an arcade area, outside seating area, and a few cozy living room style areas with stuffed furniture at the back. To the right on entry is the canned beer for takeout, to the left is their large bar and impressive tap list. We mostly get IPAs, so it was fun to try their other styles like rice lagers and a barleywine, everything was excellent. Their flights are huge, basically half size goblet pours in a six rack. Prices are reasonable for the well developed beer. They also had a food vendor outside, which we loved (see separate review). It's great to see a place equally rock great beer and a fun experience, I definitely look forward to returning sometime soon.

Though the schedule seems a bit ad hoc since I've heard "the pizza guy got here late" (when I arrived at noon) and "the pizza guy might be going on break" (when I arrived at 2pm.) I think the beer people should be cross-trained on pizza, to avoid these situations. Cheese Pizza: A classic and a great benchmark pizza to establish their base quality. Love how the edges have crispy cheese, down the side and up above the pizza. The rest of the pizza is no slouch with lots of gooey cheese on top. Plus the generous sauce trenches on top give it some nice moisture. Buffalo Chicken Pizza: Not terribly traditional, but amazing flavors. Chicken chunks, lots of hot sauce, some cooling bleu cheese (on top of the regular cheese). Red onions and scallions for a zing. A great collab between Detroit and Buffalo. Bacon Me Crazy Pizza: The bacon drew me in, but the big mounds of ricotta won me over. Definitely the richest and more filling pizza I had here. A tad messy though, since the mound of cheese gets all over your lips and gives you a cheesy mustache.
