Local Tap is a bright and airy space, with plenty of seating and TVs. The food menu has sports bar staples like wings, burgers, and nachos but also adds customer favorites such as fish & chips, onion rings, and cheese curds. I had the cheese curds, onion rings, fries, and chicken sandwich which were all very good. The service was great too. Our server checked in with us literally each time she walked by and other servers also checked in as they walked by. I especially liked and appreciated how customers finished dishes were immediately cleared, leaving tables and the space looking organized and clean. Local Tap is a great choice for sports watching and I look forward to another visit! read more

It was St. Patrick's day so of course I was looking for an absolutely awful green beer. I failed to find one...but I did manage to find a great one at Local Tap! Arrived after work around 5:30pm. It was a drinking holiday so the place was packed! It's been super warm in the Bay, so I grabbed one of the seats outside and enjoyed the weather Drank here for little bit with friends and headed home. I definitely want to come back and try the food! read more

Food is great, but the bartenders are simply the best! Great atmosphere - kinda feels like Cheers where so many know and greet each other, staff and customers alike. Perfect place before a Giants game, or any other sports. Tons of TVs, indoor & outdoor seating. Lots on tap. Can get super busy, but as long as you are patient when they get slammed, it's all well worth Can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

Girls trip to a Giants game and got into the city early. Checked into the Luna and went on the hunt for lunch. Found this little corner place that was all we could hope for! Great drink choices and brews, but it was THE FOOD! The best grilled chicken sandwich ever, carnitas tacos, chicken tenders and fries, salad, & onion rings. All pretty common, but this food was really, really good! We actually planned on going back after the game, but the wind and cold was too much. Great food, atmosphere, and the friendliest bartender around. A free round of beers for us ladies,as well. Great place! read more

Went here to watch the 49er game. Arrived at 9:45, game started at 10. Luckily, I found a place to sit at the bar. I had a coffee (free refills) and later ordered the turkey wrap which was good. Prices were fair. I was on a first date so I didn't pay for anything. The bartenders were on it, constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely go back. read more

LOVED the vibes here We were in the mood for some pretzels and a drink and we hit the jackpot. The kitchen closes at 9 and we arrived just a few minutes before so we got lucky with ordering food. The bartender was super nice! Poppin cherry: she was quite generous with the liquor lol I definitely had a good buzz after one of these. It almost tasted like a Dirty Shirley drink but a little more on a Robitussin medicine flavor. It was good the more you drank it and it got the job done. Pretzel bites: so simple yet so delicious. You might think they look so plain, but once u get that first bite... it's a game changer. It had some what of a crisp to it and was so soft and flavorful. It wasn't hard or chewy or dull. The house mustard and cheese just made the best combo for these small but mighty bites. A MUST! It's really close to oracle park so u get a crowd of people ready to watch the game. We will be coming back for sure! read more

This is a bar for the cheeseheads - an official Packers Everywhere establishment. Went on a Sunday and the Packers game was on half the TVs with audio. There is Packers decor, but also local team gear. The food is slightly elevated bar food, definitely nice for a midday game- get lunch and a beer. Service is friendly they are all over keeping the water filled, filling orders, pouring drinks. If you're a Packers fan in the bay you should be at Local Tap on Sundays. This is a great Sunday football bar. read more

My friends and I wanted to grab some food before a comedy show this weekend, so we stopped at Local Tap. The staff were so much fun and attentive. You can tell that they enjoy their jobs. Also, the food and drinks were ON POINT! Thank you Pete & Sonia. read more

thursday night football- i get it, the place is packed, but when a table opened up at halftime me and my two guests (who are visiting from paris and big packers fans) were happy for the opportunity to sit down and order some food. the table was covered in dirty dishes and empty beer cans from the prior patrons, so i went to the bar to ask if it could be cleared so we'd have space for our own plates after we ordered. the bartender audibly huffed and puffed, asked aloud "are you fucking kidding me ?" and rolled his eyes while continuing to mutter and pout. he came over, took some plates, all while CONTINUING to mumble and eye-roll. after walking off with those, he came back with a rag and spray cleaner and grabbed the rest of the items, while, you guessed it ! continuing to moan and groan. he left the rag and spray bottle, leaving us with a sticky, dirty table, which is fine because after his wildly dramatic performance, there was no way i was going to give this place another one of my dollars. i have never been to a bar/restaurant where an employee was so bothered by being asked to do the bare minimum ! if he had used his eyes to look instead of roll, he might have noticed the menu i grabbed from the bar, but his visible attitude shifted the entire energy at the table and made me too uncomfortable to ask if they had table service or if i should order food at the bar. just all-around embarrassing to be a fully grown human who treats people like they're a nuisance instead of a customer hoping to eat and drink...at a place that serves food and beverages. he never came back to wipe the table (which like, why bother with the theatre of bringing the cleaner over to begin with) and we never went back to the bar to order anything else. people say the french are rude, but my french guests got to see that americans are too, so i guess thanks for the cultural enrichment ? in conclusion: this guy sucks and go bills ! read more

Absolutely love this place. Feels like maybe one of three bars in Soma that aren't corporate buyouts, or copy and paste shit box establishments. Pete provides A+ entertainment, hospitality, and good vibes. Solid spot to watch a game, and a healthy selection of craft beer. Can't complain at local tap read more

We visit this place every time we are in town for a baseball game for a drink or 3. We make it a frequent stop because the drinks are always good & the service is always great. But last night they truly outdid themselves. We were in town for the My Chemical Romance concert (a well known emo band) and as soon as we walked in we were greeted with emo music playing over the speakers. Talk about appealing to your demographic!! It felt like a community, which exactly what I would expect from any place with "Local" in the name. Well done to whoever was in charge of music, everyone was singing and talking with each other. It was an amazing start to what became an amazing night! read more

Local tap was a great place end up after the Giants game. Beers were about 10 dollars a pint. Finger foods at about $15 dollars per plate. There were two bathrooms that everyone was lining up for. So the place was crowded, but calmed down everyone finished their business. read more

I haven't been here since the pandemic and back then it was an occasional weekday lunch spot of mine when I worked in the area. Unfortunately, not quite the same experience and the food I ordered was not good. :( My co-worker also did not enjoy his food. [Service] Once our food was delivered, we were left alone pretty much the whole time. It would have been nice to get more water but by the time someone came around we were already done. There weren't too many customers but they just seemed busy so we weren't even able to flag anyone down. It was also clear no one was coming to pick up our check/card so I just walked up to the bar to pay. [Fish & Chips] I used to love the fries here - they're the long skinny ones! Mine were some long ones on a pile of a bunch of broken ones...looked like I got the last of the bag or something. The fries were also not freshly fried...just kinda warm. As for the fish, there were three little pieces. The batter was light and crispy, but the fish was a bit gummy and weird tasting. Overall, this meal did not slap! This return visit was not great, but I'd probably still come back to try other items on the menu. I remember the fried cheese curds being really good so we shall see next time! Just not anytime soon. :/ read more

Pros: this is an awesome dive bar with friendly enough service. Cons: deceptive pricing practices. Experience: I was pretty excited to find a place with decent happy hour pricing (ex: cheese curds for $7 and the fried combo platter for $13). I wasn't provided a menu, so I showed the sole bartender what I wanted on the site. The food came and was the wrong order (cheese curds and the house made hummus plate). Mistakes happen, so no worries. Unfortunately, when the bill came, I was charged $15 for the cheese curds and $20 for the fried combo platter. Additionally, there was an additional SF mandate of 5%. I asked the server (who just hopped on shift) why the pricing was so high, and she confirmed that the happy hour time was right, but that the pricing on the website was wrong. Then she told me she would tell the owner, and left. What should've been an easy afternoon experience was now made a little bitter by these deceptive pricing practices. I had high hopes for this place as my neighborhood hangout spot, but I guess not! read more

We thought we were coming for a drink after the game and wow, the father daughter duo (Morgan and Peter) verbally attacked the patrons. They threatened them to fight and they were clearly drunk and/or on drugs. Prior to any of this, we watched other customers "lose" their credit card and chalked it up as a misunderstanding, but then watched how they interacted with others and were beyond taken aback. They even were egging each other on to try and fight two guests to fight outside. We felt like we were part of a circus and that we were being punk'd, but they legitimately were not in the right state of mind and on some sort of power trip. For your safety, do not go to this bar ever, especially late night. read more

Came here to watch the 49er game with a friend and it did not disappoint. We started with the Mia's Pretzel Bites (A basket of freshly baked Bavarian pretzels served with queso sauce and honey mustard). They were hot and soft. I really liked the honey mustard too. For lunch I ordered the Buffalo Fried Chicken Sandwich (Bleu cheese dressing, arugula, red onions, on ciabatta bread) with extra blue cheese on the side. Wow, I was not expecting for it to be that good but it was. The chicken was cooked perfect and it had the right amount of blue cheese and hot sauce. We will be coming back to watch the game and even just for the Fried Chicken Sando! read more

Didn't expect it, but the food here is quite good. Got myself the fried cheese curds and cobb salad, and I'm so thankful the barista asked me if I wanted a half portion of the cheese curds because I didn't even know that was an option. And looking at all the pictures avaliable, the full portion would've been massive. I must say, the marinara sauce that comes with the cheese curds is probably the best marinara I've tasted; granted I haven't had a lot to compare. And the salad had tons of toppings that included chopped chicken, bacon, eggs, blue cheese, and avocado. The raspberry vinagrette was delicious! It really brought the whole salad together. Compliments to the chef! Although it got a bit salty at the end since that's where all my bacon ended up. I was also impressed that the chicken stayed warm throughout my meal. The barista made sure my water was topped off and my plates cleared when ready. Overall a great experience, and glad to have another place to consider for lunch. read more

Great spot to end up before or after the Giant's game, which we did lol! We had michelada's and Mia's pretzel bites before the game and it was great. Bartenders were attentive and quick, and the food came out quickly. Ambiance was fine, just a normal sports bar however beware coming after a Giant's game it could get PACKED. Overall I'd come back and recommend! read more

First off, the service is awesome!!!!! I requested a Smirnoff Ice and I know it's a rare find in a bar but if you don't ask, the answer is always a no, right? Well, one of the owners went out of her way to find me some and did. Talk about great service! The food, super dope! Onion rings were on point, chicken wings were slapping, and the cheese curds were smooth. There's plenty of TVs to watch sports too. Next time I go back, I'm getting a martini! read more

It was of course before a Giants game and after being ignored completely at another nearby bar that wasnt busy AT ALL, i thought to try my luck and was able to grab a stool and get served super quickly by a beautiful brunette behind the bar who was so sweet to every single person she waited on. The crowd was even pretty nice. I didn't try the food but my neighbors the bar said that they had burgers and fries and that they were great. Will def be back as was a very awesome experience. read more

Came on a game day bright an early so it wasnt packed just yet when we arrived. The bartender/server was very nice. We just stopped here for a quick bite to eat before the game and a drink to kick off the day. I ordered the margarita and it was pretty big. It tasted good. Not too strong but not too sweet either. For food we just ordered appetizers. We got the cheese curds and tenders with fries. The tenders were very tender and juicy, 10/10 especially dipped in ranch. Fries were a bit tiny but still good, my boyfriend really liked it. The cheese curds were good as well, i just wasnt expecting so many hahaha. Would definitely come by again. read more

LET'S GO‼ Talk about a gem! If you blink you might miss the entrance at the 3rd and Ritch St. Once you come in though, it's a decent size bar with all the favorites. Stacked when it comes to beers and if you need something stronger, then also got a wide selection. Many local folks which I'm not, so I wasn't sure about what my experience would be, once I came in it was all like I was back home, good people, good music and great conversations. SERVICE F#%@!NG AMAZING! The folks get an A+, very attentive. I ordered the chicken stips with fries and that meal was perfect for all 200 lbs of ME! Honestly, it can definitely feed two but I don't share food! "Love, I'll pay for your meal but order your own!" This was way to good! Food convinced me so much I had to order the Suiza quesadilla to go. When ever I find my self back in San Francisco I'll definitely come back in for some high five's and good grub. read more

Such a great vibe. It's a packers bar. The service was excellent and super friendly locals.

My friends and I visited the Local Tap after Bay to Breakers this weekend. Needless to say, we were famished. Our server (possibly the owner) offered complimentary chips and salsa to hold us over until we ordered/our food arrived which was so kind and absolutely necessary. Our food was delicious, beers were cold, and the service was awesome (attentive and quick). We will definitely be back! read more

It was Tuesday Taco Night so why not go for it. But I must say, the five dollars a pop per street taco seemed a bit much once I saw it wasn't much bigger than the little silver dollar sized ones, which they usually sell in threes at other typical taco nights. I ordered a steak taco and the chicken taco, and both of these were unfortunately pretty nondescript and dry. The three dollar can of Modelo was nice, though, for Happy Hour, which was 4 PM to 7 PM on nights when the Giants are not in town. Also had the Philly Cheesesteak, which was soft and tender, but I couldn't get over their unique spin on it with the melt of pepper jack cheese, making it quite spicy and overwhelming the flavor of the steak. The bartender, who also did double duty as the server, was tremendous though and earns Local Tap my four stars. He noticed I was still recovering from a knee injury, so he actually brought out the menu and took my order, so I didn't have to hobble over to the bar to do it. He also had a great, deferential attitude and was pleasantly persistent in making sure we had everything we needed. It's obviously a Giants water hole, being just a few blocks down from Oracle Park. But being here instead to watch the Warriors season opener, in which they satisfyingly knocked off the Lakers, it was surprising to see quite a few other Dubs fans, who were whooping it up with us at the big screens. Because we were in SOMA, there was actually a sizable group of tech bros and sis's who were just there to revel in that they were now done with coding. Local Tap is smallish for a sports bar, but they also have a pretty big parklet outside where there're actually some big screens hooked up on the walls, so you can sports bar outdoors as well. On the Soundprint app, it registered at 102 decibels, which is quite high, so a word of caution. Fyi, it's mostly street parking. read more

Wow! Can't believe I have yet to review this place. All I have to say is two words - Cheese curds!!!. We'll, actually three - fried cheese curds!! This is a wisconsin bar and one of the only places in Sf where I've found amazingly good and authentic cheese curds like you can get in upper midwest , YUMMY! I've been here before plenty of giants game as well as to watch many of football games and even a liverpool fc champions league final. Always a great time. Definitely recommend. And for the record, this is a 4 star but I'm adding an entire star simply for the cheese curds!!!! read more
