The DJ was pretty good that night and he covered top music from 90's to today. Drinks were sooooo good!! We started off with just tequila and soda, but as the night got later I needed a little pick me up. I was initially going for an espresso martini, but I saw After Hours which consisted of Tequila Reposado, Espresso Liquor 43, Coconut and Milk Wash and ofc I had to get that... All I can say is WOW!! There were other drinks that looked really interesting too, but I wasn't trying to get too faded, so I'll have to come back and check them out. Service was very prompt and friendly despite it being pretty busy.

But cute spot with a full bar and seating and booths to hang out in.

It has that authentic sports bar vibe without trying too hard. TVs going, people locked into games, and just an overall relaxed energy. It feels like a place you can come to regularly, not just once. It didn't feel like a tourist spot at all, more like somewhere locals actually hang out. Food-wise, it's solid bar food done right. Wings, burgers, and the kind of stuff you actually want when you're watching a game or just kicking back. Nothing fancy, but it hits and fits the environment. The drinks were on point too. Good beer selection, solid cocktails, and plenty of options if you're just trying to chill for a while. The setup with TVs and bar games makes it easy to stay longer than you planned. The staff and the crowd both added to the experience. It felt welcoming, people were comfortable, and you don't get that awkward feeling walking into a new place. Only thing to keep in mind is it's very laid back and first come first served. Depending on when you go, you might have to wait or stand around a bit. Overall, if you're looking for a real sports bar with good food, drinks, and a local feel, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

What's the point of running a restaurant if you can't even acknowledge customers who walk through the door? Absolutely terrible and a complete waste of our time.

Woohoo, my 100th review!!! :))…read more After looking at a bunch of rehearsal places, H.I.T. Wall was definitely my first choice: plenty of parking, good noise insulation, big windows to fresh air, well-built secure rooms with individual alarms, good vibe inside and out, and 24-hour access. The people I happened to run into all seem really nice, too. The studio is located in a relatively quiet area in SSF, and pretty safe to get in and out even at late hours. Both the front and back doors are locked at all times, and our studio also has its own alarm system for added security/safety. We've been renting the place for six months now and I find out why H.I.T. Wall has gotten the reputation in town. Just to give you a quick example: one of the outlets in the room got bent from stepping on an extension cord. Called to let them know - very responsive and was fixed the next day, IMPRESSIVE!!! Well, not to mention other things like forgetting my keys and calling one of the brothers (did I mention he is cute too!? LOL!!) to let me in my room. He came down from SF, very accommodating I have to say...... The owners, Mat and Will (two brothers), are responsible landlords and know their tenants well. They seem like they are in the recording industry for the right reasons--to keep the Bay Area music scene alive and make a solid place for bands to work on their crafts for years to come. H.I.T. Wall deserves a 5 star review for the following reasons: 1) noise insulation (soundproof), 2) cost (reasonable rent), 3) convenient location in the Peninsula, 4) lots of privacy, and most importantly, 5) GREAT SERVICE!!!

We came from Rocker (which we only stayed in for a month because we couldn't hear each other talk!!!). Hitwall is sound proofed really well. the good parts: **sound proof no one ever talks about this but it's one of the 2 most important parts of a good practice space!!! there are 4 movable sound proofing baffles. we've never had a problem. we can play pretty loud (as loud as we want, whenever) and don't have to raise our voices to talk over our neighbors. i can sometimes hear/feel the bassline from the room below us but as soon as we start playing, it's drowned out. **secure you have a front door key and a room key. it's also out in an industrial district of ssf so you don't have a bunch of crack heads wandering in. also, our cars have never been broken into in the lot or out front. **lots of parking just don't leave it for more than 24 hours, they'll tow it. ie: don't leave your tour van here. **they let you paint/build shelves our room is huge but also came with 2 cubbie loft shelf spaces. i can't tell you how handy these are. **rent $700/month split 2 ways (that's $350/month) for a 13x22x20 room. i've seen a bunch of studios in sf and the sound proofing/security don't even come close to this for the price. (see: Rocker where the rats ate my cords/a crackhead was trying to open my door for 20 minutes) **in house recording studio their house engineer recorded the drums on the rouge wave album Out Of The Shadow here. it's really top quality and $35/hour for bands that rent a space at hitwall. analog and digital! **vending machines they've only been out of mountain dew once in a year and a half. ** the bathrooms aren't always dirty they're pretty clean most of the time and they have a never ending supply of TP- they're also unlocked so you don't have to stop the rest of the band from playing because you have to borrow a key from your guitar player if you have to pee mid-song. the not so great, but not bad parts: ** load out can be a pain if you're on the 2nd floor easy fix- have a lot of people in your band/a few extra friends to move all your crap and park right in front of the front or back door and carry things down the stairs. grow a pair. ** allotting time for traffic if you live in sf and are playing a show in sf or oakland, you have to make sure you'll make your load-in time, just in case there's a ton of traffic on hospital curve. easy fix- google map that shit! find some good back roads off an earlier exit. **"free alarm system" is not free they advertise "FREE Individual Alarm Systems. (Each room comes equipped with an illuminated key pad and motion sensor.)" to activate it, you have to set up a phone line in your room which could run you about $20/month. come on!

The interior was a bit dark and intimate, although interestingly, my photo makes it appear much brighter than it actually was. *** O U R P I C K S *** PRIME RIB FRENCH DIP SANDWICH ~ I chose this sandwich since I just wanted a small bite to eat. The French dip was tasty, but because the meat was cooked medium rare, it was a bit chewy in places, so a knife definitely came in handy. I only ate half and was satisfied. The sourdough bread had a nice chew, although I usually prefer my rolls toasted. As a leftover sandwich, though, I'm glad it wasn't toasted, it would have made the bread too hard. 4/5 STEAK SANDWICH ~ My partner decided to try the steak sandwich. He said it was just okay and felt he should have gotten the prime rib French dip instead. The steak was cooked medium rare as requested, but it was pretty bland and could have used more seasoning. It came with tomatoes, lettuce, and onions to dress it up. He also opted for the garlic fries instead of regular fries. The fries were tasty with the added garlic garnish, although they could have been crispier. 3/5 HOT LINKS SANDWICH ~ Our friend ordered this one. I guess it was okay, but honestly, it's not something that takes much culinary skill if the hot links are store-bought. That's my assumption, anyway, since I don't think the links were made in-house. 3.5/5 HOUSE SALAD ~ As I recall, the salad was a spring mix with cabbage, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, and red onions. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo. It was a pretty typical salad and nothing particularly special. 3/5 We all chose sandwiches even though it was dinner time. Since two of us wanted a salad instead of fries, the server or chef decided to give us one large bowl of salad to share. We appreciated the gesture, although we felt we should have received separate portions. I was told by our friend that the prime rib entrée is a popular choice among those who frequent this spot. IMO, the food is about 3.5 stars overall.
