    I love this bar. You have to come on Wednesday for comedy night!

    Excellent bar!!! Great service!! They have a foosball and pool table. Great community at the bar and comedy night is a blast!!!!!!!!!!

    The vibe is AWESOME ! Tons of native SF peeps and great Old Fashions .... Great hospitality!

    We where coming on a walk home and it was the only bar in this neighborhood. I guess that's why it's so highly priced. We came in to this dive bar which we usually like . (Nothing fancy at all" We asked for a glass of Chardonnay which the bartender didn't think they served and then I asked well do you have any white wine? He said yeah but only box wine. One he confirmed it was Chardonnay after going to look at it we said ok we will take it. He served us half of a glass of this and charged us $15 for two half glasses of cheap warm Chardonnay out of a box that we had to ask for ice to chill it up on our own! I will never frequent this place again. Not because he didn't know if he had Chardonnay but because he didn't even care that he was clearly over charging us for warm boxed white wine!!

    This is the best bar in sunnyside. Friends is the best place to play some pool and hang out for a few hours. Make sure to try the bbq.

    Quality/Quantity - Our local neighborhood bar. Indoor and outdoor seating (smoking)…read more Today it looked like every one went out front to smoke, I did not check to see if the back was closed. My buddy is a regular and knows the team that works here. This has been our go to place when I visit. Beers on tap, full bar, cocktail program, etc. Pool, darts, etc. Events - Bands, live music, etc. Happy hour available. But we always meet late at night as he is just too busy during the day and still has young kids. Atmosphere - Decent size neighborhood bar. Full bar, cocktails, wine, beer, etc. Quiet for a Friday night, which suits me just fine; actually, I prefer it that way. Open 7 days a week from noon till 2am, and we closed the bar, as usual (Yelp hours differ slightly). Events - See their website. Dart league, pool league, etc. Service - Good, not sure if she recognized me as a "regular" or because my buddy who is a regular and showed up later. Always able to open a tab or pay as you go. FYI - Free BBQ on select Sundays and munchies on select nights. Price - $80 + generous tip. Yes, we drink a lot. And could have even drank more. Actually very reasonably priced for SF, considering how many drinks we got today. Just noticed that I can buy pitchers?!?! That might save me a few $$ in the future, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2013; we have been day one customers. And will still continue to be.

    This was the first bars I went to in the Outer Sunset and, years later, it remains one of my…read morefavorites. It cozy with darts, pool, and good, affordable drinks. But the real draw is the amazing community and bartenders. They make it feel like home. We've made great neighborhood friends and the bartenders, Marcus, Margarite, and Betty, have always made us feel so welcome.
