    First time coming to Line dancing class. It was so fun but very crowded by the end. Starts 815pm. It would say 8 but doesn't start til later. The crowd was friendly. People comes in groups so girls night out. Yah! Drinks are pretty cheap here and the staff were are done to earth. They even have a cute bar doggy. He's been greeting all the guest. Definitely recommend coming in for Line Dancing class. It's free. Thursday and Sunday at 8pm. Heard the Sunday isn't as crowded so it's more beginner friendly. Fridays are packed here with regulars.

    Great outdoor spot. Bartenders are so awesome. My friends loved the swings and the saddle...he fell out of this after this. Everyone laughed. Good bar. Do it.

    My friend and I stumbled upon Jaxson on our girls night in SF. We didn't know what this place was but after passing it a couple of times that night and persuasion from the doormen, we decided to check it out. Jaxson is a country bar that also plays pop music and top hits. At this point in the evening my friend and I were already feeling our drinks from previous bars lol. We just had well drinks here at Jaxson. We had a lot of fun on the dancefloor and even made some friends. They have an outdoor section that also has a bar, a photobooth and some couches. We stayed longer than planned but overall we had a good time here.

    If they're hosting outdoor shows, more space heaters are needed.

    Eyeballing the Jaxson photos here on yelp is some sort of sped-up snapshot of life over the past few years. The oldest photos show a rowdy Marina-district bar filled with young adults doing what that demographic does. Then we segue to 2020 and 2021 to find an outdoor space with distanced picnic tables and barrels, socially distanced people, and nobody looking to be having much fun at all. I recently attended a comedy show here (Hella Secret Outdoor Comedy Night) in that outdoor space and came away thinking that the overall 3-star rating Jaxson is sporting is perfectly on point. I'd not be lying if I said that I had a choice of things to review here: * Jaxson itself, the venue that provided the venue, cocktails, and food/ cocktail servers for the event; * Hella Secret Comedy, whose tickets are often promoted on johnnyfuncheap, for different pop-up events throughout the Bay Area; and * Food from any of the 3 pop-up vendors being featured (Tijuana Taquero, Melted Youth, and Empanadas de Calle). FIrst the venue: Jaxson's outdoor space is probably not ideal for watching comedy. The stage is close to the street with a Muni bus stop immediately behind it. The sound system was adequate but the space heater situation was not; it was freezing. Food and cocktail service was friendly but petered out quickly. The first round of drinks arrived as expected but service was MIA by the end of the event when I was wandering around looking for someone to close out my tab. My Hot Toddy tasted mostly like warm lemon juice and I noticed that my friend never said a word (nor did she finish) her virgin daiquiri. With 3 pop-up food vendors on offer, I sampled only from Tijuana Taquero. The Quesadilla ($10; flour tortilla, melted cheese, sour cream) was what I'd have made at age 9. It cried out for some salsa or pico de gallo. Quesabirria Tacos ($14) were a far better choice; greasy and rich, I'd order them again here. The bottom line on Jaxson's, at least at this time, is that they do a perfectly acceptable job of hosting a show. If I again wanted to go out and saw something happening here, the venue wouldn't keep me from attending. I'd likely choose canned beer over cocktails and probably opt to get my dinner elsewhere (though technically, right now, county ordinances require that food is required to be purchased in order to consume alcohol). I applaud Jaxson's for providing a venue to bring people out during this middling time where we're still most comfortable outside and distanced. It was fun even if far from perfect.

    Hello, I am writing in regards to a situation that occurred on June 29,2024. Your bartender, who I learned goes by the name of Danny, has wrongly taken my boyfriend's drivers license and snapped it in half. The ID is no longer useable. My boyfriend needed that drivers license to fly home tomorrow and will no longer able to because of this inconvenience. This is not to mention that actions that took place after your bartender took the drivers license and snapped it in half, he proceeded to parade and showcase the ID to everyone sitting at the bar and guests who walked in to the establishment. It was cruel and humiliating to have him showcase the ID and point at us as he laughed. After calling the police and waiting for an hour, the bartender came up to us and said he would like to make a "compromise" and return the broken the ID. This is not just destruction of property but makes me consider discrimination. The bartender had no problem accepting every other form of ID that walked into the establishment but had to snap my boyfriend's CA drivers license? Interestingly the establishment already embodies a very American style culture and my boyfriend's last name is Ramirez Lopez. As I type this waiting for the police to show up, the new bouncer who showed up accepted a photo of an ID instead of a physical copy which is ILLEGAL!!!! Luckily I have photo evidence. Another crime to report. So your company has accepted an illegal from of ID but has also destroyed property and is getting away with this!!!!! Expect to hear from me in court. *UPDATE: Cops showed up and we retrieved the broken drivers license. We did fill a report with the police and will be filing a report with the better business bureau as well!

    We stopped here for a drink and appetizers before dinner. This is a great, fun bar! Of course, I am partial to Country Music, so that was icing on the cake (next trip I'm bring my red boots!). We enjoyed their cold beer, delicious tacos and empanadas. This place is is very popular. At the time of our visit everything was still outdoors and socially distanced. The (handsome) doorman was making sure things remained compliant .

    We went during halloween. I really enjoyed it - everyone there was pretty friendly. We hung out mostly in the indoor area. Some of my friends didn't like the music selection but I enjoyed it. I liked the country selection and the mix of pop here and there We got a bunch of AMFs which got us going. We had plenty of room to dance which was nice. There is also both an indoor and outdoor area which is pretty rad. There was a $5 cover at the door though.

    Take your money and disappear :(

    The Horseshoe Tavern has been our neighborhood watering hole for over 16 years, and at this point,…read moreit feels a lot more like family than just a bar. So many memories have been made here -- birthdays, celebrations, nights out with friends and family, and plenty of random evenings that turned into some of the best ones. We've also made friendships here that have lasted for years. It's one of those rare neighborhood bars where you can walk in, see familiar faces, bring your dog, grab a drink, and immediately feel at home. I was especially honored to be asked to guest bartend for The Equal Pour, an event celebrating 55 years of women being able to bartend in California. It was such a fun and meaningful day, and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie even stopped by to celebrate with everyone. And because the Horseshoe always seems to have a good story attached to it, we were also there when the Budweiser Clydesdales came by to deliver beer -- definitely one of those only-in-San-Francisco neighborhood moments. The staff here has always treated us like family, and that's what keeps us coming back year after year. No pretension, no fuss -- just good people, a great neighborhood atmosphere, dogs welcome, and a place that has been part of our lives for well over a decade. The Horseshoe is a true Marina neighborhood gem, and I hope it stays exactly that for many more years.

Fortunately, we were lucky to stumble across Horseshoe Tavern, as it immediately gave across a welcoming and comfortable vibe. Although there was only one bartender working the bar which was packed with a lot of people watching the Kentucky Derby, the service was incredible and the bartender immediately acknowledged us and took our order. We ended up getting two rounds, and again the bartender was super prompt and attentive with service when we went back inside for round two. Overall, this place is a gem, especially being in the Marina. Down to earth and comforting vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice watering hole or a place to play pool.

I accidentally spilled a small amount of beer by the pool table and immediately, politely asked for help to clean it up. Instead of doing her job, the female bartender--a heavily tattooed brunette with a larger build--completely lost her mind. She aggressively got right in my face and launched into a screaming, explosive, expletive-laced tirade, dropping F-bombs in front of my date and a room full of patrons. She made a massive, embarrassing scene over a routine accidental spill. While other staff members eventually backed her off and apologized for her behavior, the damage was done. Management did absolutely nothing to fix this, charging us full price for drinks and a night that she completely ruined with her sailor-mouth hostility. If ownership allows staff members this unstable and hostile to represent their business and attack paying customers, they do not deserve your money. Avoid this place at all costs unless you want your night ruined by a hostile, aggressive staff that cusses at customers.
