Yes its total sausage fest. Yes it's dirty inside. My friends and I go here before heading out to other spots. It's a great place to chill. Drinks are cheap, bartenders are cute, and who would have thought shrimp chips and Corona go so well together! The best part is watching 40 year old men trying to pick up the bartenders. You can't buy that kind of entertainment. read more

The only reason I give this place two stars is because they have beer... I had been to fizzies once before on a random Tuesday night and a middle aged pretty Asian woman served me and my friend. She was sassy and excellent at what she did, however, the boss was sitting in the corner continuously questioning her abilities and even yelling at her at some points! The next time I returned she was no longer working and instead a young woman who could barely speak English was working. The experience was terrible. First she questioned each one of our ID's, had no idea what was on tap and almost refused to serve one of our friends who has a Brazilian passport due to her lack thereof knowledge. To make it even worse when asked if they could play ANY music she told me I had to pay a dollar to do so. On top of this, the boss was sitting in the corner of the bar as always, however this time she was screaming and complaining. When we asked to finally leave they told us we were $1.50 away from the credit minimum so instead of getting another drink I just paid extra so I could leave faster. Awful. read more

As one yelper aptly described this bar, "An Asian Coyote Ugly." However, I'm not sure that our princess-like bartender was "Coyote Ugly" worthy. This is how our conversation went: Bartender (BT): Hi! What are you guys drinking tonight? Me: Do you guys have an happy hour or drink specials tonight? BT: We have beer and... (So far so good, I suppose. Although, I couldn't quite her what else she said after beer.) Me: You know you could have said that it is always happy in here and we have great drinks!! (I know cheesy, but that's all that came to me at the moment) BT: Yeah, you're right, but I'm new here. Me: Ok, how about an Guinness and 2 Anchors? BT: Sure. (A few minutes later, after she brings our drinks and I pay, I figured I continue the conversation.) Me: So how long you have you been actually working here? A few weeks? BT: I've been working here for 2 years now. (Now, I'm puzzled and so are my buddies.) Me: That's good. Thanks for the drinks. Hmm...not really sure what to think of that. A bartenderess who was cute, but who sure didn't know how to flirt. As for the ambiance, the bar was filled with only Asian dudes, I guess I wasn't helping the ratio. Still, very weird for our very diverse city of San Francisco. Would I go back? Maybe, just to mess with the bartenderess. But then again, maybe not. Upon final review, they provide free shrimp chips, there is a pool table in the back, and lots of fluffy eye candy behind the bar. I guess, you take it for what it is! read more

$2 bud lights & the Nudie Game = my kind of bar. For a couple bucks you can have drinks and entertainment all night! Don't expect anything fancy though, this place is seriously divey. read more

This place is worthless, dishonest, unethical and in a complete leadership disarray. We had a server walkout on us and another couple other groups while we were there the other night. NOTICE AND BEWARE: There is a loud, mean and very aggressive lady running the bar. She's very unwelcoming and they seem to be praying and bulling on students by up charging their bills. It happened to a couple guy's next to us, they kindly asked the lady to remove the added shots from the bill and she started yelling and acting like a complete idiot! She called the little bouncers over and the guys just said, fine we'll pay your dishonest bill and we won't be back. STAY AWAY AND WARN YOUR FRIENDS!! THIS PLACE IS BAD NEWS!! read more

Do not come here if you are a woman by yourself or only with a group of women, you will probably hate it. Yes, it's a total asian sauasage fest. But come on, shrimp chips!?!?! For free? Sorry, I'm just a sucker for that. Plus a pretty face serving you is a nice touch. read more

I give this place a 4 star rating because of my expectations of what a good dive bar has: 1) Cheap drinks 2) Cute bartenders 3) Pool tables 4) Good music selection in juke box. If you are looking for a club type atmosphere this isn't the place. No fancy decorations or vibrant ambiance. However, if you want a solid place to hang out with your friends and get wasted then this place is great. I went here last Saturday for a friend's birthday. The staff was friendly and it was just a down to earth and chill spot where people can hang out over drinks. The Asian "McClarren's" on "How I met your mother" or "The Central Perk" with liqour on "Friends", I would call it. However, the user who read more

I used to go to Fizzee's whenever I felt I needed to just chill and grab a drink on a weekday night. Maybe this will be a bit biased because my sis did work there and I'd often visit her, but I'll try to keep it honest as possible. If you go around 10 or later parking can be a drag. Especially, if you're going on a good night weather wise, meaning NO rain. Upon entering the bar, you immediately feel that this is a real neighborhood bar. You have your regulars and then the occasional people that stop by like myself. My experience with all of the staff (AGAIN my sis worked there so take that into consideration with my experience) was good. They were always friendly and seemed to be very attentive with all the customers. I've never experienced a time there when a customer had a problem with any of them. It's a great place to go if you're looking to just chat with friends over some drinks while listening to music and maybe playing some pool. I love how they give you free snacks with your drinks. Two kinds of shrimp chips to be exact. Yum. I admit, there is a weird smell to the place at times. My sis claims it's the pipes. haha....so if you WERE lucky enough to work while she did she'd always bring body spray with her and immediately start spraying the place as soon as she started work. read more

Yep, this place is a sausage party most the time. A mixed, rather crotchety group of locals hang out during the day...and then it basically becomes the Patpong District (Google it!) at night. Just kidding! sort of... BUT, they pour a strong, cheapish drink and there are rarely lines for the women's restroom. I love being able to pee when I need to at a bar. :) read more

Fizzee's is a cool little spot on Geary and 4th. They have a ton of alcohols and beers, at pretty decent prices; $3-5 for beers, $4+ for mixed drinks & shots. They always have good music playing in here. They got a jukebox with all the jams, a pool table and random shit covering the walls. I noticed the crowd is a bit uptight the past few times I've been in- notably last night. It is understood that this place is usually a locals spot, but if you don't like rowdy drunken guys at 1:45am, then you probably shouldn't be in a BAR! The bartenders are super friendly, and super good looking. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, aside from the lovely girls working the bar this place has a substantial abundance of wiener. read more

I kinda feel sorry for the guys that get suckered into going to this place just because a few "cute" bartenders decide to wear their minus 1 size bra that night. Don't get me wrong, the place is a sausage fest most of the time. And YES it does smell like puke when you walk in. It's not somebody's bad day with their BO. Plus 3 stars for the selection of alcohol available. Skimpy outfits of the bartenders and the TVs. Minus 2 stars is because the bartenders tend to badmouth their male customers and expecting to get fat tips to cover the monthly payments on their LVs and $3K Cartier watches. True fact, I even had a debate with one of my buddies about that before. Also the girls tend to have the tendency to be constantly talking on their cellphones while supposedly serving drinks which I find to be rude. read more

On my 2nd visit to Fizzee's, I was less impressed. The atmosphere was definitely less exciting... probably because my group made up for more than half of the customers in there. It was definitely very mellow in there. Good thing my company really enhanced my time in there... Even though I still had a good time there, I didn't feel like I enjoyed it nearly as much... hence, -1 Star from my last review. read more

I never stepped into here until my old coworker Jeff asked me "you been to Fizzees on Geary? There are hella Asians there" and the rest of history. The location is decent and parking isn't the easiest to find but Clement tends to have a parking spot here and there on a Friday or Saturday night. Keep in mind that I usually only come here on the weekend so I can't speak on this place not during these hours. I once came down here on a weekday later afternoon and the barmaid was an old white chick and the patrons were all old white guys. The bartenders here are pretty attractive and pretty friendly. The drinks are so so but hey I'm a lightweight so I can't really tell what's a properly made drink and what isn't. The bar is a cockfest for sure but once in a while they'll be a hot chick in one of the homies' party... All in all, I like it here, nothing top notch but i always have a good time here. read more

This is kinda my default spot in the Inner Richmond. Drinks are decent and prices are decent. It would probably be a three-star place if it were father away but it gets a four-star because it's my default "close to my house" drinking hole. I also have many fond memories of this. Like that time I got really drunk and got into a heated random debate about something pointless with some random dude. And the 1,893 other times I did that after the first time. It does kinda get Asiany later at night but it's not really an Asian bar. I'm Asian so it's more like My Peopley to me. Has two pool tables and free pool on Sunday so that's a plus. I dunno. It's cool. I like it. It's the place where I meet random people (like former colleagues) for casual beers, grab some beers before partying at a more lively locale, and generally just cry away sad, bitter tears. And drink. And drink some more. read more

Cool dive. The bar is roomy and got pretty full after 9pm on a Tuesday night. Came here for the first time with my friend Judy, this is her local hang out bar. Great location, but it took me about 20min to find street parking at around 7:30p. If you can, I would recommend taking the 38 Geary. Yeap, the smell is there as soon as you walk in the door but it was not unbearable. Awesome bartender, Diane, serves good strong drinks. She recommended their signature drink, Asian infusion (or something like that), that was good. Made with green tea liquor, vodka and pineapple juice. read more

Okay, my review might be biased being the bouncer at the joint, but after reading all the other reviews, I thought I'd chime in. 1) Yes, there is a smell, and yes it is mostly from the piping in the place, but we are aware of it and are taking care of it. 2) The place may seem a little "dirty" but we did score a 98 at the last health inspection about a month ago, which is higher then most other places in the neighborhood. The place is old, it's been a neighborhood bar for over 20 years, and not much has changed, but that's part of it's charm. 3) Yes, at times it is a total sausage fest in the place, but women should not feel uncomfortable coming in. If anyone gives you grief, either I, or one of the die-hard regulars will take care of the offending party. 4) No, I am not racist or prejudice in any way. I love seeing a diverse crowd at Fizzee's, but I do take my job seriously, which means: a) No ID, no entry, no exceptions, and don't even think about using a fake, I have been trained to spot most fakes. I'm not perfect, but do you really want to risk being embarrassed if I catch you? b) If you are drunk off your a**, you're not getting in. It is a liability to the last bar that serves you if you hurt yourself or someone else while being intoxicated. c) I have a zero tolerance policy, if I catch you harassing the bartenders or other customers, you're out, maybe not 86'd, but definitely out for the night. Fizzee's has earned a reputation of being a "safe" bar with the local PD, they know that the owner enforces all applicable laws, so they mostly leave us alone. It's my job to make sure it stays that way. However, we try to keep the atmosphere at Fizzee's chill, so as long as everything stays chill, you might not even know I was there. read more

I live literally 2 blocks away and came here for the first time a few days ago. It's definitely a cool place to hang out if you're a local! The bartenders were very friendly! I feel like I should come here whether I want a drink or just to hang out. =) read more

1. Hot asian bartenders 2. Odd puke smell from bathroom areas 3. First time I have tried a 'asian persuasion' drink...green tea liqor and vodka I think...good stuff 4. Hot asian bartenders Went there on a Thursday night, not packed, and see #'s 1 and 4. read more

Fizzie's is a pretty kewl local bar. Like others have mentioned in their reviews before, yea it definitely has that dive bar vibe and look to it. But for you can get some pretty good beer on tap for only $5/glass or $15/pitcher (at least the last time I was there a lil' while back) They always give out unlimited shrimp chips to grub on w/ your drinks, so that's always been nice. There's also the usual pool tables and arcades for you to amuse your drunken friends with. All the bartenders are Asian females, so if you're not really into that, perhaps it might not be a place you'd like, and they're all really chill and kewl to chop it up w/. The crowds are mixed sometimes, but it seems like most of the times I've been there, it's mostly an Asian crowd and some other random locals. The vibe has always been chill, and I've never seen any jackasses start any fights or anything here. It's definitely worth dropping by and checking it out if you're in the area and want a cheap drink. read more

Yeah, not the greatest. Its a sausage fest. My friends felt a bit uncomfortable so we left after our first round of drinks. I'd come here with my guy friends. But unless you're having a girls night out and seeking this kind of attention then I would avoid this place. I wouldnt classify it as a dive bar. It didnt have that "feel" to it. ps. snacks were stale. read more

It does smell like puke. I thought I had thrown up on myself,but alas it wasn't me,so i ordered another Long Island..don't remember many asian's being there,just got pulled in there once. Strong drinks,that is all I remember. read more

This place has become my go to spot to get my bromance on with my buddy Lee. Yes there are hot bartender chicks, but that is sooo not the reason I go here. Seriously, after coming here so many time I hardly give them a second look, other than to greet the friendlier ones and order up. Usually we just drink and play pool, and I must say we have a decent bar table pool game. The owner is a sweetheart, and has the greatest master plan to draw customers, one I feel all establishments should adhere to. Hire hot chicks. Now I digress, wait a second, no I don't. Anyways in the daytime, the clientele is usually all white, with a slight chance of minority. At night it's the opposite, mostly asian with a drizzling of white, and a hint of hispanic. Don't let this intimidate you, it's always friendly and fun. Keep in mind if you just want to gawk at the hotties, they only work at night, and the lineup changes daily. Relatively inexpensive prices, a jukebox to play what you want to hear, and good times. Don't expect to hook up with girls here, because usually there aren't any. read more

Avoid as much as possible. But on the nights you can't, you'll survive... and you'll probably have a new story too. read more

Stopped by this bar on a Kickball pub-crawl. They had pretty cheap drinks, but the decor is kinda dirty looking. There was dust everywhere, I left sneezing... On the plus side they do have a lots of TV's for sports viewing... read more

This is my favorite go-to bar any day of the week. Fair priced drinks, friendly staff, nice cozy "hole in the wall" bar. If you want to hit up a bar with close friends and have good conversations, this is the place to go. I am so loyal to this place, my friends doesn't bother asking for my opinion on which bar to go to because my answer will be Fizzies. read more

secret tip: Get drunk cheap at Fizzies, eat some free shrimp chips... then walk down the block to Alpha Bar. read more

I'm not really a divey bar kinda person, but I came open-minded on a Sunday afternoon. Lady bartender is very nice. Her margaritas are to-die-for. There was a lot of tequila in there but the best part of it was you couldn't really taste it...dangerously good! Prices are very affordable too. And it actually was clean in there, I felt comfortable & safe. Also, on Sundays, there's free pool! read more

Wouldn't dare go here at night... but gotta love the free pool on Sundays and the $2 beers. I heart Kathy the bartender! read more

I started coming here back during the summer before my junior year of college when I was still using my 'Nicaraguan' ID (note: I was born in SoCal). At this point a friend of mine was still bartending here so we would of course get awesome service. All the fish chips we could ever want while being entertained by water fights, toothpick magic tricks and the owner's homeless looking son who just sits in the corner all night. It is really hit or miss with this place. Some nights it is so crowded you can't walk through the door, some nights it turns into a strictly Asian scene, and other nights it is a great place to play with the jukebox. read more

Not a bad place. Video arcade games at the bar, pool table and juke box in the back. Just as Lee M. says, its hit or miss. Sometimes theres a big mix of people, and sometimes its full of asian people. The owner gave my friend a free stoplight for his birthday hahaha. a drink consisting of 3 parts, 1 green, 1 yellow, and 1 red. Best Bartender is Diane (not sure if shes there anymore) - Order "Yo Mamas Kool-Aid" from her, she is the only one that knows how to make it. read more

This is an all right bar. It's too "dive." The place was a bit too worn down for me. They also need to upgrade their TV sets. There's a cute Asian bartender working there to provide all the flirts you want/need (so they can get more drinks from you!!!). I definitely digg the go-kart hanging from behind bar. I wish I can take it down and go for a spin around the block (only while sober of course). Again, this place is okay and decent bar. If you're near it, it won't hurt going in and having a drink or two. read more

I ducked into Fizzie's on a Thursday evening to catch a basketball game. Fizzie's had about 7 small screens, and I suppose were a bit late to get a good spot, but the spot we sat down at was a bad angle for every single tv in there. The tvs were either too high or too far for me. I still saw the game and that's all that mattered. It was friendly crowd last night. The bartender called a cab for a patron, regulars helped out a drunk, and everyone spoke to each other like old buddies. The prices for the drinks were decent. $11 and some change for a Guinness and Kettle One tonic. Fizzie's had two pool tables and some bar video games. I stayed long enough just for one beer and to watch the last quarter of the game. read more

I came here on a Friday at the suggestion of a friend. This place is definitely a dive bar, but if you're just looking for a chill spot to knock back a couple of drinks with good company, then this place fits the mold. It has a Cheer's type of atmosphere. The staff was also super friendly which was a great plus because at the end of my night, I ended up puking my guts next to the fire hydrant around the corner and down the street. I walked back in looking like shit, my eyes red and glassy, pink all over (darn Asian glow), and my breath reeking of vomit and tequila. Instead of kicking me out, this kind waitress just offers me a glass of water and a smile. Now that is class. read more

This place is very "divey", and there tends to be more men than women here. I went here recently, and surprisingly there were a good amount of women here. Also if you want to be overcharged for a shot of watered-down Petron, this is the place to be. read more

5 stars for hospitality + pretty bartenders. 1 star for warm beer. Yuuuuummm! -_- read more

Ok... I've read the reviews and yes, I agree it smells funny. It is because of some pipe problem that is getting worked on. The place is hella old and it needs some fixin but I the people are nice and I consider friends, not just customers. After all, I work there... So gotta support it despite the smell... But I will let the owner know about the smell and hopefully get it fixed asap because Fizzees is a great place with lots of memories! read more

Yeah yeah, so Fizzie's is a bit of a neighborhood dive, but it suits me fine! Yes, the bartenders, for the most part, are young Asian chicks in skimpy outfits. That's why it makes it so amazing that they offer such quick and attentive service! (How do you move so fast in those heels, girl?!) The shots are colossal and cheap! One time, I ordered a round for my friends: 3 beers, 2 cocktails, and 2 shots came to just $26, including tip. read more

Huge shots at low prices. Asian bartenders wearing skimpy stuff...open toe high heels...serving cocktails with cleavage...LOL Pool tables in the back...small restrooms...old decor...a definite local dive bar. read more

The bar tender is very stern and definitely questions you if you're young looking. She ended up being alright- just doing her job right and taking pride in her job. That I can respect.. anyway I like the place it got the job (boozin) done lol. She pours Guinness well- keeping the foam at bay n pouring right up to the rim. Guinness is $7 each. She gave us a basket of potato chips. Nice pit stop after Taco Bell just a few blocks away! read more

Fun place to hang with friends in the daytime. Happy hour from 4-6. Free pool on Sundays . Drinks r strong and day bartender is funny. I liked it. read more
