Irish Times - Chicken fingies - Irish Near Me - San Francisco, California

Stumbled upon this spot by chance. Friend an I were heading to Union square after walking around. It has a quaint yet lovely vibe to it. I'm not a drinker so I got a Coke and friend had a beer. The bartender comp my Coke which was a really nice thing to do. We sat outside since it was a hot day. I can't get over how HUGE their bowl of fries is. Think pho soup bowl filled with fries for $8! Can't wait to come back again read more

Ah this place is special. Lorraine was such a great bartender. Lucky to have a place like this still around. My party really enjoyed our food. My burger was alittle dry but I'm thinking they thought I was vegan and not vegetarian hence they forgot the cheese. The roasted tomato is a good touch to the burger. Good menu, good drinks and kind service. Definitely stop by if you get the chance. Clean bathrooms too! read more

Great dive bar/irish pub energy near fidi area. Great to grab a quick drink after work before catching the bus or to bring the coworkers on a company HH. They got seating outside and inside but they'll do table service so you don't have to walk inside for each drink. The food they have I was very satisfied with. The poutine and the wings were top notch, favorites by all the coworkers and myself. Their gravy and the cook on the fries were so good. read more

Legit Irish pub, but with a lot of TV screens for sports broadcasts. There was a 49ers game the day we stopped by and lots of patrons wearing SF gear, so I guess it's popular on game day. Not cheap though. A Guinness and a shot of Red Breast is $26 before tip. Even by SF standards this seems too high. read more

Irish Times - Shot and a beer - Irish Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great place that feels comfortable in a bit of a dry part of town. Staff was solid and sit at the bar, you may make a new friend.

Such a great place! The spirit and camaraderie from the guests, and the ambiance from the staff make you want to come back over and over again. Special shout out to Mel, for going above and beyond, and for making me feel more than welcome! read more

Went during Happy hour on a Friday night. I was charged an extra dollar than what the nachos with chicken was advertised for. No big deal. The nachos were gross, so that sucked. I don't drink so can't comment on that. read more

Went for a work event. Staff is incredibly kind and hard working, despite us being quite loud and boisterous. Food and drinks are great, had a Long Island Iced Tea. My friends notably enjoyed the Scooby Snacks and the Adios, MF. read more

Back yo excellence what a lovely experience love feeling safe and welcomed. You can't put a price on that!

First of all, why am I at a bar at 2pm on a Tuesday? Let that sink in. Can't really fault much here. Found just was I was looking for: an Irish Pub. It's properly dim, although not much natural light could penetrate the skyscrapers surrounding this cave. There is a mixed crowd pinned to a football (soccer) match between LIV and PSG, whoever the fudge they are. Liverpool and...Persnickety Soccer Guys, I guess. Soccer on 6 of the 8 tvs in this joint. The remaining 2 tvs are NBA analysis blah blah blah. The single bartender is working the entire establishment while doing prep for the evening shift. That's standard. There are 3 females in the bar, including the bartender, and one male/female couple. Why am I describing the mundane details of what is practically every bar in America at 2pm? Because I'm at a bar. And it's 2pm. Maybe you should ask yourself why you're still reading this. Huh? Yeah, I thought so. This is my way of contributing to, um, America? You are welcome, America. You can thank me in beer. I'll take a raincheck, I got a ferry to catch. That's a boat, in case you're listening to my audio-only review, available at most nowheres. read more

Irish Times - Beer. Liquor. Televisions. - Irish Near Me - San Francisco, California

Yummy food friendly staff and ufc. Had some whiskey which was good. Decent fish n chips , shepards pie yumm. Food was well made and no complaints. Ufc on with a small cover. Lots of tv's doesn't get too crowded which is nice. Staff is all very friendly. The nice pretty lady waitress with the tattoo was suuuuper friendly and attentive! Would love to come back here just to eat and have a drink. Dim dark lighting and can get loud with drunk people screaming at TVs but that's expected in a bar. Had a wonderful time here and def coming back read more

The Irish bar is very crowded inside, old fashioned decorations and elements for the holiday seasons. I've tried the tequila shot there, and it was very ordinary. read more

As I was waiting for a friend for a little after work dinner, I saw Irish times next door to the restaurant and decided to stop in for some pre-game drinks. Luckily it was happy hour and it's hard to pass up on a good deal. For those looking for happy hour, they offer it Monday-Friday from 2-6pm. They had select draft beer and win for $6, bottled beer for $4, select shots for $6, select cocktails for $7, and a handful of small bites for $6! Honestly one of the best happy hour prices in the neighborhood. I ordered a couple anchor steam beers and went with Buffalo chicken strips. It kinda reminded of me chicken cutlets, cut up into pieces, and drenched with Buffalo sauce. Personally if I had a side of rice I could've turned that into a full meal! Not the best I've ever had but good value and fit the craving. The ambiance is great for my style! Lots of TVs with sports on, friendly atmosphere and plenty of seating for small and large groups. Service at the bar was quick and prompt and I was able to get a quick bite and beer just in time for my reservation next door. Definitely will be back and will be in the rotation for happy hours when visiting the office. read more

Had to walk a long way to get here, but felt lucky to have had a referral from another bar nearby, but at 10 on a sunday morning (actually we needed one at 10, but this worked as well) there aren't a lot of options in the financial district. Irish Times filled the need, and is worth a stop. Very down to earth, basic bar with not too many teevees for sports (i have a nasty case of ADHD and it can cause me problems when I'm drinking). Breakfast, not to say specifically "Irish Breakfast" for me was a very satisfying pour of Guinness, and another then on to a more nutritious Greyhound or two. I'll be back. read more

We stopped in on our travels to the city and it was great! Had nachos as a snack and a couple beers! Service was good, food quality good and atmosphere good. Will definitely stop in again! read more

The Guinness on tap a top notch, the food a good, and the service is great! John, one of the bartenders, is great! We love talking with him while enjoying the atmosphere!!! read more

Best fish & chips in SF. Perfectly battered haddock & generous portion of fries. I've recently traveled to London, where the fish & chips were superb. It's a toss up as to which are better. Beats a round trip flight to London! read more

You ABSOLUTELY have to appreciate a place that gives you your choice of yellow mustard! That aside, the Fish and Chips are delicious. I love a spot that has beer battered fish, and the batter and the fish don't separate. They are meaty, juicy, crispy, and flavorful in one bite. This is a good spot for Fish and Chips, great bar service, fun staff, and great music. read more

I used to really love this pls e, but not after the last time I was there. I had a table of three and the bill totaled $200. I realized later that a whopping $40.00 gratuity was added to my bill. If you go there I advise you bring cash so you can choose what tip you want to give. read more

I used to come randomly when I worked in FiDi. I just went today and the vibes were fun/laidback. They have multiple screens on for various sportsball lol. I tried the Irish Poutine, definitely different than normal poutine so don't get it if that's what you're going for. Next time I'm going for the fish and chips! Bloody Maria was good but not spicy. You can ask for more spice I think, I wish we did haha. Service/bartender was super friendly, we will be back! read more

Food was amazing, highly recommend the wings and shepherds pie. Our bartender Neil was also very attentive and very kind. Should absolutely come here read more

This place has such a great Irish ambiance! They always have all the games on, such as Premier League games, NFL games, Rugby games, March Madness, etc.! The Guinness pour is excellent! And they have additional Irish beers as well. They serve bar food that is above average. Great bar that is worth the visit thanks to the variety and service. read more

I've been to Irish Times no less than 5 times when visiting SF. The full Irish Breakfast is truly exceptional fare! The Guinness is always delicious and the bar well stocked. Plenty of local characters and visitors in a very comfortable space. Again... the full Irish breakfast is one of the best I've had in all the world, and it rivals any I've had in Ireland ! read more

Came here for a drink and some food with a friend last Sunday to watch the 49ers. Restaurant was clean and has a good ambiance. Came 25 minutes before game time and there was plenty of seating - it filled up as it got closer to kickoff. Order the Bloody Mary and it was real solid. If you like yours spicy make sure to specify, wasn't as hot as I prefer but was an easy fix. Went with the chicken tenders for my meal and chose the Buffalo and Honey Mustard dipping sauces. Both were delicious and the chicken was perfectly crispy. Overall, it was a great authentic experience. No frills, quick service, and reasonable prices. Will be back! read more

You know, when I go have lunch at a bar or pub, I expect the usual bar food options. I've never had any issues with the food here but apparently between now and the last time I had a club sandwich, some FiDi queen felt that 3 slices of bread on a club sandwich was too much, and mayo is too unhealthy. So to my surprise, my club today had honey mustard and cucumbers, and was only two slices. Absolutely not. If THEY want to add/subtract from the traditional club then go for it. Us normies want a traditional club: 3 slices of toast, mayo, bacon, turkey, lettuce and tomato. read more

Enjoyed via in-person dining. I previously enjoyed fish and chips, and Irish coffee. Fish and chips were crispy outside and flaky inside. The Irish coffee was strong and warming. Thank goodness cuz our weather has been dipping into the low 40s lately. Service friendly. read more

I was at Irish times with a group on Monday for the college final four. The bartender was all alone behind the bar with a mob. Gotta say the dude was on fire. Did an excellent job keeping up with kitchen, orders, drinks and tabs. Give the dude a raise read more

Monday Night Football meant a need for food, beer, and TV. The place was busy, but understandably so. Energy was high, people seemed really into the game as well as the general atmosphere. This isn't the sort of place you head when aiming for pretentiousness. This is a legit pub, and I mean that in the best way. We were all pleased with the beer assortment and the food was better than expected. Burger looked good, but I had the club and some wings and really enjoyed both. Irish Times is that sweet spot between high end fancy and total dive, and the city could use a few more joints like this one. read more

Best Pub experience I've had yet in the city! Nicest people I ever met going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable! Thank you John, Jack, Sara, Lorayne and Nicole for making every visit memorable! Dinners are perfect (light and filling)! Always within view of a game adds to the experience. read more

The bar waitress confronted me after I paid and said is there a reason why you didn't tip ? Lol Then continued to tell me that if I don't tip, I shouldn't come here to spend money LOL I'm not obligated to tip with that kind of ambiance and no respect what so ever. She said they live off of tips and since I didn't, I should not come back.... LOL DEALLLLL let's see how you pay your bills now ? Mind you, I'm a regular.... This was so unexpected and surprising. I was shocked and disappointed in how they talked to me and handled herself. Don't come here if you are gonna get a to go and don't tip... read more

This is a SF FIDI staple and open early to late. Breakfast is always good, lunch service is friendly and quick. Happy hour is fun & Irish coffees are on point with decent prices for SF. This isn't personal but our honest experience read more

A beacon of hope. SF is a hellish place - and Irish Times might be the only place to seek refuge. You walk into this place and you forget for just one moment that you're surrounded by tech bros who at any given moment might launch another startup. If you're from out of town, stop by. Drinks are cold and food comes quick. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. The staff wasnt friendly and the drinks were mediocre. The Bloody Mary was nothing special. Just vodka and a premix with one lemon. The Guinness wasn't looted correctly l- which is disappointing for an Irish pub. Very transactional. read more

Great service in this Irish bar . Bar tender was quick to offer service, poured a perfect pint of Guinness and even brought it out to the table once ready. Loved the open windows. TVs were on and many patrons were watching sports games. Came too late order food but can recommend for a great selection of Irish Whiskey and a great bartender. read more

Some improvements I would like to express is accredited to the service that was given to my friends and I once we had entered the bar. We had entered to use the bathroom first, and order drinks once we got out. One of our friend who didn't need to use the bathroom ordered a drink while waiting for us. He initially had asked for any suggestions of beer, and the owner, Jack, had said "look at the menu it has options". Instead, of offering option that were listed out on tap. There was only two, 4 people groups that were seated on tables outside the bar. It was unusual to respond this way as everyone had their drinks already, and about 3 other employees were just cleaning. It was very dismissive and not decently an ounce of customer service there. As more friends entered, the other older female bartender who looked to be in her older 60's immediately kicked them out saying if they were not to order within 5 minutes of getting there; Which they were still deciding on what to order as they are a larger group with a larger tab. Once she was told to wait for a second so they can decide she immediately rushed her attitude negatively and threatened them individually. It was out of no where as there was not much customers to care for, and we had just arrived to this location. I believe what she had done to my friends was very disrespectful, as well as the owner, Jack, who blatantly allowed this behavior to continue. No apologies were made for our experience. There was the option to never come again, and we will gladly follow it. I would like to point out one one person who was trying to accommodate us as much as possible. Thank you Jules for being a team player. My recommendation in the future for this bar is to invest a lot more in common courtesy for different cultures, as well as local knowledge of respect. In my opinion, there are so many nicer Irish bars that excel in every aspect of service, ambiance, and drinks. I would highly suggest Kell's or Chief Sullivans as they have established one of the most renowned spots in the city. read more

We found Irish Times when we were in San Fran for the night and looking for a bar to watch the UFC fights. We walked in and immediately loved the feel of the place. It felt vintage, welcoming, and a place where friends could gather and enjoy drinks and bites after a long day at work. The menu was fairly priced and the options were way better than typical sport bar food. And no matter where you sat there was a tv in good view to watch what ever sporting event was on. They did have a $10 cover to watch the UFC fights...I thought that was an amazing deal considering we were San Francisco. We will definitely return to Irish Times when were back in the city. read more

It was nice that this place is kid friendly and have patio seating. Due the Covid they have a limited menu but enough of something for everyone. I really enjoyed my tri tip sandwich with a pint of Guinness. The meat was super tender and very flavorful, next time I want to try the shepherds pie. It was also fun having a severe who is from Ireland. Parking was hard to find but so worth it. read more
