    Private buy out for post wedding festivities.
    Zara H.

    We hosted our post wedding event at Fifth Arrow to end our wedding weekend. It was perfect for both adults (full bar) and kids (bowling and games). It fit our 90ish guest count perfectly and was super roomy. It was also right around the corner from Westin St. Francis where all of our family and friends were staying for the wedding which made it super convenient. We worked with Nicole to coordinate and she was great! They curated signature drinks, had a welcome sign for us, and they also catered some food - pizza, chips/dips, empanadas. Would definitely recommend for private events!

    Fifth Arrow is located in the basement of a theater like building. You will need to go down the stairs when you first arrive. Make sure to get all your calls or messages to others when you are outside, since my friends and I had bad reception after we went into the restaurant. It's a really cute place though, with a couple bowling alleys and food/drinks. Food ordered: 1. Margherita Pizza (5/5): This is your basic Margherita pizza with Mozzarella Cheese, tomato sauce, basil, olive oil, and a special little bit of sprinkling of sea salt. 2. Funghi Pizza (3/5): Don't get me wrong, I like mushrooms, but maybe just not these type specifically. There was a stracciatella white sauce base, Wine Forest Mushroom, and was topped with a drizzle of Truffle Oil. This was a savorier pizza in contrast to the other pizzas tried. Butternut Squash Pizza (4/5): Topped with cubes of butternut squash, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, and a bit of sage leaves, this one was aesthetic. The stracciatella white sauce base was the same as the Funghi Pizza and it was fine. Overall, all pizzas were delicious and I absolutely loved the inflated crusts on the circumference of the pie, but the super thin crust that held all the toppings.

    3.5 STARS A group of us were heading to a going away party. Since it didn't start until later in the evening, I suggested checking out Fifth Arrow first. I believe one of my girlfriends made a same day reservation through Yelp as she was the first one to arrive. Three in our party were already seated when I got here on Friday, July 13th a little after 5:30pm. We were given a booth that had two additional chairs. Enough for our growing party as we ended up being a party of seven. *Rose Colored Water: gin, peach, passion fruit, lime, gran clasico bitter, aquavit ($12) x6 *Cut Point: bourbon, amaro, ginger, campari, pineapple gum, yuzu ($12) *Earl of Derby: rye, grapefruit, lemon, cynar, honey, egg white ($12) x2 *Long Weekend: blended scotch, pink grapefruit, lemon, tamarind, Tropical ipa ($12) *Old Fashioned ($11) *Double Hendricks ($24) *Margherita Pizza: buffalo mozzarella, basil, olive oil ($10 happy hour, $16 regular menu) They have Happy Hour daily, 4pm - 6pm, so one of my friends got a pizza. They have a fair amount of beers, a sangria, and a few food items if you want to explore their HH specials. I was in more of a cocktail mood, so I didn't get anything from the HH menu. I ended up trying the rose colored water and the earl of derby. The gin cocktail was a good way to ease into the night. Light, refreshing and fruity. The earl of derby was more up my alley. I'm a scotch / whisky / rye girl. Still lighter than I typically prefer, but I didn't mind it here. There is bowling at Fifth Arrow, but we just came to drink, so never checked it out. I believe they only have three lanes, so I'd advise looking into a reservation. I looked online and it seems rates for a lane reservation run at $55 per hour. This may be fun to bowl once if in the area, but I think I'd rather just go to a bowling alley if I really wanted to partake in the sport. This feels more like it exists for the novelty of it. I used to come here all the time when this spot was Slide. The bones of the space are the same, but it has a completely different feel. And the infamous slide is gone. Being in the space definitely brought back some memories. Worth checking out once as it's a different kind of bar / lounge / restaurant for the area.

    (Pre-quarantine review). Can't speak for the food, but customer service is tops here. We stopped by after watching Cursed Child at the Curran Theatre around the corner for a few beers with friends and it was super chill - we could actually hear each other talk, which was a huge plus for a bar on a Friday night. If you like games this place is for you. They have bowling, arcade games, and a ton of boardgames scattered about. The staff came by with waters unprompted and checked with us a few times for last call for food and drinks, which I really appreciated. Our friends got a pizza, which smelled and looked excellent. Would definitely go back. Great space for a special event.

    The pins fall down, and they get pulled up again.

    Ok I'm a suburban and easily impressed maybe, but having to walk down a flight of stairs and ending up in a time machine bowling alley with 80's playing on the hifi and being able to sidle up to the cutout in the wall where you can watch the bowling from mid-lane while sipping a nice whiskey neat, and the balls roll by and the pins get knocked down and they get pulled back up again, over and over, this is worth something. And the whiskey turns into sitting at the bar for another and a salciccia pizza to go with it and it's so good, the crust is as good as the bartender promised. That's a fine way to spend an evening.

    This place is definitely hidden and can be difficult to find. There is a cute little bowling pin sign hanging on the outside. I went to Fifth Arrow for company team outing in which we rented out all three lanes. It is definitely a small, but cute place that I'm not sure many people know about! The bowling area was definitely a little less well-lit compared to the photo online, but we still had fun regardless! The appetizers and the drinks were great! And during happy hour the drinks are cheeeap - such a great deal! We were also there while a Warriors game was happening, so the bar area definitely got decently-more crowded around 6PM.

    It's hard to believe that this place is underground. And the amount of space is impressive. First the bowling...3 lanes, charged by the time, and includes show rental. Lanes are tight and they don't have the dots to start and line up. And the pins are actually on wires for pin set up. The drinks...a good variety with a full bar. I tried the beach, blanket, bingo and it was good! The food...a variety of foods, but not a huge menu. I tried the funghi pizza and it was delicious with a great crust. I would come again.

    The Margarita Pizza! Looks and smells phenomenal!! And guess what....it tastes fantastic!!

Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe. Cheap drink specials, great music, and I was able to get in bed by 8:30pm. I'll definitely be back again.

Located on Broadway in North Beach, it's always high energy and popping, but I've never had any issues getting in. Also love that there's no cover charge for women, so I can just enjoy the night with my friends here without having to pay the equivalent price of a drink before I've even stepped inside. Even with the club frequently packed, especially the later in the night you go, I find the facilities pretty clean compared to many other similar lounges. It's also conveniently located near late night pizza and crêpe eateries that are still open after Monroe closes for the win, which makes it an all-around no brainer to choose going here versus other venues.

I never heard of this place until a fellow Yelper brought this up to me and I said SFBox? I never heard or been in this location before and I am sure most of you never heard of this place either unless you search for history of the William Randolph Hearst printing press building so many years ago. The building was built in 1926 as a printing plant for the San Francisco Examiner. It is a nice mixed use building like a nice cozy maze to explore the nice layout and architecture of the old print shop. So upstairs about 2 floors and vendors are scattered so it's like a hunt for them, almost like a needle in haystack. Lol Well it's not that hard as you won't miss anyone. Too floor that where you will satisfy your sweet tooth . Yummy. The vendors that were there were a nice mix from tea, cheese, spices, India coffee , Turkish spreads, ice cream, giant cookies, healthy drinks, spreads, and I am sure you will find something you will enjoy. I don't normally buy stuff, but the honey , red beet, 2004 sweet land Bingdao $95 brick tea that is aged 21 years that can make 175 tea servings for $95, Il Fiorello basalmic vinegar was thick and smooth great texture and syrupy taste very captivating and Taste of Levant tahini and their chocolate jar of molasses was excellent and I had to buy them. Yummy in my tummy! Not sure if same vendors will be there again, so catch them the at your farmers market, festivals or next Eats event!

There was a huge line for the coffee when I arrived that didn't let up until halfway through the show. They are doing this again in September and I would recommend if you are in the area. The only thing that would have made it better would have been less people given the amount of chatter and distraction of people walking by. I'm curious as to what this venue looks like in other set ups and at different times of the day because it is beautiful, what a nice spot in San Francisco.

We were scheduled to have a small outdoor wedding ceremony at Mission Dolores Park, but when the San Francisco weather forecast turned "rough" just days before our April 1st date, we were in a total panic. I reached out to Carlos at the last minute, and the level of service we received was nothing short of extraordinary. Here is why you should book your next event here: Incredible Responsiveness: Carlos responded to my inquiry almost immediately and hopped on a call with me the same day to iron out the details. He made a high-stress situation feel completely manageable. Accommodating & Flexible: Even with our last-minute request, he was so generous with the timing. He allowed us to come in early at 2:00 PM to set up flowers and told us there was "no rush" to leave, letting our group stay and enjoy a drink before our dinner reservation. The Space is Stunning: We held our ceremony upstairs in a beautiful, dry, and welcoming space featuring a gorgeous mural. It was the perfect backdrop for our 10-person group--intimate, stylish, and full of character. Personal Touch: Carlos even provided his personal cell number for day-of coordination to ensure everything went smoothly. That level of care is rare.
