Ok so I received a message from the bar owner asking to give them another chance and he'd chat with me. Not really me! I don't take advantage of a kind gesture so I popped in unannounced per say. Lol The food was great and so was the service. I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong. As well as when food is good. Those cauliflower things...mmmm mmmm!!! And the wings were crispy and sauced just right. Thanks for reaching out, and thanks for talking me into giving the place another shot. It was well worth it. read more

Flatiron - Potstickers at the Flatiron! They are so good! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Rafael, California

We stopped in for a late bite after a college basketball game. The service was pleasant and prompt, our food order arrived quickly and the 1/2 lb special burger was tasty and the pork sliders were great too. It was a little breezy and slightly cold inside the bar where we were seated, and bistro seating seemed the only option, but that's an easy fix to get to five stars. read more

Casual bar and diner in San Rafael that is a pretty common place to go. American bar type of food. A good amount of drink selections. Not as strong/can't taste the alchy. Could be a good thing. A lil pricey, but I think it's just a Marin thing. I ordered the pulled pork tacos which were alright. Very filling. They also make them as sliders and you get fries with it. Better to go that route! The service was honestly sucky. They were pretty rude and didn't come to our table when we needed service. We also were a big party. One of the workers was just sitting there and then when it was time to pay they slapped the bill on the table. It could have just been an off day. But they weren't even busy and it was a random Wednesday in the afternoon. read more

Flatiron - Signature Pulled Pork Tacos ! & mint spritz ! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Rafael, California

They actually answered the phone after 5pm! Kinda unheard of for a bar with kitchen hours. I have to say the Iron is the best of the relatively few choices for late night drinking base munchies in the safe, if not boring AF Marin enclave. The service/food came hella quick. Competitive burgers with a healthy draft selection. Who'd have thought? read more

I visited Flatiron for the first time last week. Starting to get my bearings on the places to hang out since I'm moving to San Rafael in a week. I'm so happy that my experience was amazing, the food was amazing the overall experience was amazing. The reason I say this...I'm taking over managing the property directly kitty corner to Flatiron. My dear friend Trish joined me and she felt the exact way. She could not shut up about how amazing the Mamas crunchy tacos were, loved them! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and it was quite tasty. I'm looking forward to visiting often and getting to know this neighborhood spot. Thank you for a great first impression! That's what brings customers back. See you soon! read more

This is the perfect environment for getting "back to normal". Fling off the mask and get yourself a late night date. Or bring one. Either way this is a cool spot in SR where the grub is definitely as pub-worthy as it gets. read more

Love this place. Been coming here consistently for a few years and have never been disappointed. All the food on the menu is outstanding, the only thing I personally wouldn't order is salads, they are average. The pulled pork sliders are so juicy and flavorful. My dad says the cheesesteak is one of his favorites! Have also tried the wings which are delicious as well. Definitely loud inside, but that's expected for a sports bar. Great atmosphere. Service is good as well. Love this place. read more

Many many of these reviews are from drunk regulars so take that with a grain of salt. Reuben was good but not a TRUE Reuben w cooked meat. Was charged $5 for $4 NA beer but whatever. The thing that pissed me off is that I spent over $30 for one person and they CHARGE for ranch? I hate things like that, very cheap and ridiculous. read more

Francisco made the night extra fun, with his witty humor, fast service and great recommendations. Other staff were all great as well. A pretty diversified menu of sandwiches, salads, burgers and some Asian dishes and a good selection of drinks. Street parking. Two toilets, one is gender neutral. read more

This classic San Rafael spot with its weirdly shaped interior has a full bar, great food, fast and friendly service.. During the day it's a family friendly place and at night it turns into more of a bar scene. If you're looking for food and or drinks this is the spot! read more

The worst thing about the flat iron or the childish posts on their message board. They're so bad I don't even want to go in there. A few years ago they were great. I suggest the newbie look up some things on the Internet and he might be a little more witty. The bar is OK and so is the beer and food but the staff is Soso and overall the place is ehh read more

Overall I like this place. It's a standard bar but with good food and a great beer menu. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but the inside feels more upscale than a dive bar, and as I said, the food is worth it. I took my wife here a few months ago and she wasn't a fan...namely because she thought we were going out for a nice dinner. That said, I tend to go when she's out of town. I tend to go with the Mexican salad with chicken but the tacos look super legit from what I've seen. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the delicious burger! And they have gluten free buns! Decent beer/cider selection too. Went on a Saturday around 3PM - not too crowded but I could see it fill up with all the tvs for sports. read more

Bartender was not personable at all. She seemed annoyed, and we were very polite and not needy at all.

Great food... I ventured out and tried some new flavors and absolutely enjoyed it. You should give them a try.

I had the fried chicken sandwich, it was good. It was a thin slice of chicken, but the batter was very thin as well so they balanced each other out nicely. The sauce was good as well, two types. They were just dribbling out like a carls junior commercial. The onion rings were perfect, nicely balanced as well, most people mess this up. The burger was ok, and the fries were left unseasoned. Could have been better, but this is a bar on the other hand. read more

Stopped there for lunch. Cold and rainy outside. Delicious lentil soup with chucks of crispy bacon warmed me up. Great BLT (it's a bacon day). Friendly waiter. Old wood sports bar. Could get noisy. I'd give it five stars if the seats were padded. read more

THE blonde wings are the most delectably scrumptious crispiest wings I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. Perfect level of tang and spice And that's coming from someone they called chicken wingz in college. Also Brenna is the best! read more

Had I not been with friends who knew this place, I probably would've just walked by and not given it a second thought. Thank goodness they wanted to stop here for a bite to eat as it was the best thing ever! And we got there at just the right time as 5 minutes after we arrived a large, noisy group arrived. We decided rather then get individual meals we were going to split several appetizers which worked out great. We hard garlic fries, onion rings, deep fried raviolis (only available during happy hour) and carnitas nachos with tons of carnitas (not like other restaurants). Man oh man it was all delicious! And to wash it all down, we split a "Bucket of Bubbles" which was 5 individual bottles of Prosecco. The bubbles were just as much a hit as the food that we ended up getting 2 buckets. Our server, Jack, definitely took care of us. He and another gentleman made sure we had plenty of food, bubbles and water. There's plenty of tables, bar seats and TV's for all. When there are lots of people in there it definitely gets loud, it is a sports bar, the employees are nice and friendly, the service is good and the food is yummy. Can't get much better than that! read more

After a morning hike in Mill Valley, my girlfriends and I decided to grab a bite to eat and some bubbles to go along with our food. I haven't been to Flatiron since the change in ownership and remodel. I was very impressed with the facelift, food, and service. We split some appetizers and a couple buckets of Prosecco which I highly recommend getting! The carnitas nachos is a must, they load on the meat! It's perfect to split with the table. I couldn't stop eating the garlic fries and onion rings either. One of my girlfriends LOVES their fried ravioli which is only available during happy hour and boy were they delicious!! Jack and another server took care of us. He understood just what we needed when he checked on us. If you don't mind dining at a sports bar where it can get loud from patrons cheering the games on TV, then you should check this place out! read more

I have driven past Flatiron nearly every day for the past 4 years of my life. Looking at the signs has always brought me slight joy before partaking in the gruelling toil of high school. I've been inside once, the food was of higher quality than most saloons. The food and service was not the issue, however. The sign was. Today I drove bye as usually, naturally glancing at the sign once stopped at the stop light. The sign was repeated. Not from yesterday, but from some other day from some time ago. I was shocked, almost hurt, by this sudden, almost malicious repetition. I am not mad. I am disappointed. Wow. I can't believe it. The day after writing this the sign has been changed, changed to something that had been up mere days before. read more

Stopped by to get drinks and food, and everything was good. I only got an appetizer as I decided I wasn't hungry enough for a meal. But I had 4 drinks, and my favorite by far was the Lavender Empress. So delicious. The other 3 were the Mint Spritz, the Flatiron, and the Devon Special (I think, idk I forgot), and all were good but I liked the the lavender empress the best. All cocktails are $13 My date enjoyed her Vodka Soda with a lime. We liked out tater tot appetizer. Our server Ryan was great. Friendly and attentive. The other employees helped too with cleaning our empty glasses and plates off the table as well as filling our glasses with water. They have specials for food. And happy hour from 3-6 as well as 10-close. Lots of TV's to watch sports. read more

Stopped on our way through to Mill Valley. Followed our trusty folks from Yelp. Flatiron has crappy parking, but it's a solid food and bev kinda place. Seems to be a local favorite. Waiter and bartender were both great. We had fish tacos and the cheese steak. Both accompanied by some good local beers. Good portions and reasonable prices. It is an easy find off of the 101. Probably find our way back someday. read more

Flatiron - New hot sauce I love. "Tank's". I love my Crystal; so far this new try is close. Doesn't make you cry, but a nice after burn. - Sports Bars Near Me - San Rafael, California

Such a fun night here! Too much fun that I forgot my debit card (whoops)! Honestly, the employees were great and I was not expecting a delicious craft gin drink to be so delicious! (made using empress gin). I really appreciated the great customer service from an employee the next day when I called in to inquire about leaving my debit card behind. I definitely felt like they care about their business. I initially went in because it was a bar my father frequented when I was a child and I was in town and wanted to step foot inside myself. Albeit it wasn't a sports bar in the late 90's, but I still felt nostalgia knowing my dad loved that bar. read more

Great vibe here!! I love the staff and the ambience ! If you're in downtown San Rafael, this is a place that you need to see ! Thanks Jessica for the great customer service . I'll definitely be back here to have another burger and drink. read more

I came here for a Buffalo chicken wrap and because I heard they had the best burger in marin. The burger definitely looked impressive but I was unimpressed with the burnt taste of the burger and the bacon on it as well as the jarred jalepenos. The two stars is for the burger. The grilled cheese was on toxic white bread and was also burnt tasting. I could hardly taste anything else on the grilled cheese and the tamatoes were of bad quality. The Buffalo chicken wrap does not have Cole slaw. All it has is lettuce and blue cheese to go with the Buffalo chicken. I was not impressed and would not order it again. With a heavy price tag I feel ripped off. read more

I have been harassed 2x in the last 2 weeks by the same bar patron. Last night, while I was eating, the patron was calling me an "arse hole" several times. I asked him to stop, and he kept doing it. I got up to leave, and put my arm around this guy trying to be friendly, or obnoxious in reality, and the bar then kicked me out. So, if you want to get called an "Arse Hole" for the entirety of your meal, go here, they got a guy who can do that for you. Evidentially it is totally permissible by the bartenders, and wait staff. I wonder if its a paid gig? Best cheese steaks in town, super bad I wont ever be going back. read more

Hello food!! I called for take out and it was so loud inside you could tell they were packed!! Ok, I expected to have to wait but nope, they had my order in 20 min. All my modifications requests were made and my salad was perfecto!! Lettuce and tomatoes were fresh with crunch and not wilted in the least bit. The gal on the phone who took my order was able to hear each modification I requested and got nothing wrong despite clearly being in the middle of a crazy night. Have ordered again since, and will continue to do so. read more

For 6 years I have been coming to Flat! It was the first place I came to when I moved to San Rafael! Just a block from my home this home away from home has become my second family! Brenna, Sarah, Jared, Gerbelly, Taylor & Jessica are the absolute best! Also, the food is amazing!!! read more

Flatiron is a staple not only in San Rafael but in all of Marin. Their out front sign cheers me up at least one time a week. The cheesesteak, wings and tortilla Soup are amazing...but every item is exceptional. The last time I was there I had the BLT add Fried egg with the Taters. More Importantly, you could not ask for a better staff, both behind the bar and on the floor. Great place to watch college and NFL; numerous TVs and great site lines. read more
