    So glad they're open again after being closed for retrofit So many fun nights here and looking forward to many more. Keep on rockin mission bar

    Time for yet another Dive Bar review! The Bission Bar pretty far down Mission Street and is propably one of the cheapest places in town. You can get a decent draft beer for below 5$ and also some cheap Longdrinks. They have a Full bar and a wide selection of liquids. The stuff is friendly and responsive and the crowd is diverse which I really like. They also have TVs where they show sports but almost nobody really cares. Nice chill place for an afterwork beer!

    The Mission Dive Bar group. A different bar every month.

    "Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven" -Henry Ward Beecher I'm a hardcore atheist but I still like that quote. Mission bar deserves five stars just for their annual charity auction benefiting The George Mark Children's House and Home Away From Homelessness; but they are a great bar for many other reasons as well. I recently had an event here for my dive bar group and Laura, the owner, was an "on the ball" professional. This is so refreshing for me because bar owners can be very frustrating people to deal with sometimes. They have an excellent happy hour From 3:00- 8:00 $3.50 Guinness $3.00 Stella & Radeberger $2.50 Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada, Paulaner, Fat Tire $2.00 PBR $1.00 Off Well Drinks: Which means $3.00 for basic mixed drinks (Vodka tonic etc), $3.50 for cocktails (lemon drops, Cosmo's and Margaritas) & $4.00 for martinis or Manhattans I used to frequent Mission Bar years ago but for some reason I rarely seem to be able to get my friends out to the mission to drink anymore. Last night I met some people there and nothing has changed, even the beer prices. Beer for $2.50 till eight PM and only $3.50 after that, you just can't beat that.

The high decorative ceilings, stained glass accents, dark wood finishes, vintage-style lighting, and unique artwork throughout the restaurant give the place a warm and authentic feel. It feels like stepping into a historic Irish gathering spot right in the middle of San Francisco. The inside has plenty of character, with cozy booths, classic pub seating, and a spacious layout that somehow still feels intimate and welcoming. The décor and atmosphere alone make this place worth visiting, whether you're there for drinks, dinner, or simply to take in the ambiance. The food definitely lived up to the setting. I ordered the beer-battered fish and chips, and they were excellent. The fish was flaky and fresh with a crispy, golden batter that had great flavor without feeling too greasy or heavy. The fries paired well with the dish, and the tartar sauce added a nice finishing touch. I also tried the loaded potato skins, which were packed with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions--flavorful and a great appetizer to share. Service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out hot and fresh. Between the quality food, generous portions, and one of the most unique interiors I've seen in San Francisco, Johnny Foley's Irish House is absolutely worth stopping by. A great combination of atmosphere, comfort food, and classic Irish pub charm.

The beer selection is great, with a nice variety of styles to choose from. Everything we tried was well crafted and enjoyable, making it easy to find something that fits your taste whether you like lighter beers or something a bit bolder. The space itself really adds to the experience. There's a relaxed energy that makes it a great place to meet friends, take a break while exploring the neighborhood, or just enjoy a good beer in a comfortable setting. Great atmosphere, good beer, and an all-around enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back and are glad we finally stopped in.

All in all though, if you're not gluten free, paying this money for beer that's a little flat is probably not your best choice.

The wings were fantastic! Why did I wait so long to try them? Crispy edges and a perfect buffalo sauce with a little kick. My mouth is watering as I type this. Bonus- bowl for the bones. Not too many places do that and the feature commands respect. I also had a classic margarita and it was yummy. Great for a hot day. Games were playing in all the tvs and there are a lot of tables to watch from. This spot is a great location to watch a game with friends and enjoy some pub grub. Let's go Giants!

It's generally a good place to watch a game because they have several TVs, but during my visit, they were showing way too much baseball. Having multiple screens on baseball was a bit boring; they definitely need to prioritize the NBA more when the playoffs are on. The pub food is good, and I noticed that the burgers and sandwiches are surprisingly priced lower than the wings. On the recommendation of my server, I opted for the Philly Cheesesteak over the Fish & Chips. The cheesesteak was okay--not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst--and it was quite large and filling. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, though ultimately a bit mid-tier. Service can be spotty at Kezar, but it was perfectly fine during this latest visit. Overall, it's a reliable Haight-Ashbury staple if you're looking for a filling meal and a place to catch some sports, provided they have the right game on the screen.
