Noc Noc is such a funky and cool bar. I loved every bit of it! Such a great spot to get drinks with friends. It's on the smaller side but vibes were immaculate. Very friendly service. This spot has great sours on tap and I enjoyed the "Morgan Territory: Glorious-er". I also appreciated their non-alcoholic options and my husband was happy to try the ginger beer. If you're looking for a groovy spot to enjoy a beer or two with friends or a unique date experience, this is the spot to visit! read more

Fun tiki-themed bar with lots of neon lights and a cool, colorful vibe. They only serve wine and beer, which keeps the menu simple. It was a nice spot to check out and the atmosphere is definitely unique. A fun place to stop by if you're in the area and like tiki décor. read more

Noc Noc - Inside - Dive Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

This dive bar is the perfect chill environment to hang out with friends or chat with a date after dinner. The lights are very vibey inside and they have plenty of beers and wines. There's a lot of nooks to sit, and it never seems rowdy inside. It's got that dive grunge and retro art everywhere, but it feels pleasant enough to sit for a couple hours even. It's unassuming from the ouside but go in to be transported into another dimension! read more

Noc noc was a pretty interesting bar in the haight-wine and beer only, no food. The decor was unique and eccentric, resembling something out of a cartoon. The service was relatively quick however the drinks were not worth the price. 10$ for a glass of white wine (like a half glass) or 40$ for a bottle , so we got a bottle instead. Overall cool experience. read more

Amazing vibe, friendly staff, good selection of beer and sake. The interior is so trippy and I love it. It's dark and comfy inside and so comfortable. Not really a dive bar, but just a fun place to enjoy a drink. read more

I'm a fan of intimate and unique bars so I was excited to find Noc Noc on yelp! Came around 8:30 pm on a Tuesday night and it wasn't that crowded. The bartender greeted us and explained the different drink choices. I got the Schilling Moon Berries hard cider and my friend got the Snake Bite. We chose to sit next to the "fireplace" because it was also a heater so it kept us warm. There were lots of different seating options available, everything looked pretty cozy and interesting! Throughout the night, people trickled in and out. It never got too rowdy and the vibes were very nice. I would totally come back again! read more

This place is one of a kind, from the drinks to the decor. Their tagline is "Lower Haight's Most Unusual Bar" and they MEAN it (in the best way). I recommend giving their speciality drinks a try, like the "Snake Bite" (a half mix of Pilsner and cider - don't "noc" it til you try it lol). But seriously, great place to catch up with friends without the messy large crowds of other bars. Maybe it's because the hardest thing they serve here is sake so people aren't as rowdy; regardless, highly recommend! read more

Cool friendly staff! Great atmospheric decor! Very nice selection of beers/ales - wish I could say more but I don't drink very much.

Had a really enjoyable time here. This place is full on tiki, from the decor to the drinks. The music wasn't stereotypical tiki music, but definitely had a 60s chill vibe. There are three levels, but we spent our time downstairs. It was full, but we didn't wait very long for drinks (maybe 5 minutes for the first round, and 10 for the second). Drink orders are made at the bar. The bartenders were friendly, and the drinks varied from the typical Zombies/Painkillers to some creative cocktails. read more

Definitely one of the most unique places I have been to! But it is definitely a great time and are really

first time drinker of Kava and let me tell you man, this thing is the stuff! You feel relaxed and this is an alternative to alcohol everyone should try read more

Came here with a meetup group on a Friday night. To be honest I'm pretty sure it was busy because of the size of our group. They only sell wine or beer or (randomly) sake. I started with Pinot noir. Then proceeded to do 4 sale bombs (be bombs are $6 each!!). I definitely will come back for the sake bombs they were so good! $10 minimum for credit cards so bring cash since most single drinks are less than $10 The ambience is pretty vibey and Islandy maybe? And dimly light. I really really enjoyed this spot and the company was great too read more

Noc Noc - a group of people sitting around a table - Dive Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

A very almost vintage sci-fi feel of a dive bar with unique chairs and colorful lighting across the area. We kept it simple and got a beer, but the pour was done well and came out smoothly from the tap. Overall I'd say check this spot out if you want a chiller vibe yet still keeping some cool artwork all around to check out as you sip away. read more

Place is a fucking prison. Asked for a taster, what I ordered was completely different from taster even though it was supposed to be the same drink. Ordered another drink from Fieldwork that I know well and get often, was served something completely different. Would never come back. Terrible. Trash. Disaster. The fuck? read more

I visited about 30 minutes before closing, so it was pretty empty. The lighting and decor gave me the feeling of being aboard an alien spaceship. read more

Vibes: 11/10! Location and parking: Location 9/10 - limited street parking 5/10 Price: 8/10 Cleanliness: 7/10 Seating: 9/10 Noc Noc is a charming neighborhood sake bar with a unique and vibrant atmosphere reminiscent of psychedelic Keith Haring art. Rahmat, the owner, is an incredibly lovely person! His warm welcome and vast knowledge truly make you feel at home. They offer a wide selection of sake and beer, although they do not serve liquor. The bar often features live DJs for entertainment. Noc Noc occasionally hosts private parties, so please be aware that they may not always be open to the public. Despite its cozy size, Noc Noc provides various seating options in different areas, catering to both intimate gatherings and larger groups.

Had a great time here with some friends! The vibe was awesome--really relaxed and fun. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

Wow! Such an amazing place, went on a walkabout in the city of SF, stopping only at bars, Travis was the only kind bartender. Every bar we were the only people at the bar, but Travis made it such a memorable experience compared to others! The decor and ambiance! read more

Greats vibes and lovely ownership! A perfect dive bar if you're looking to grab just drinks

I've loved this bar since I first wandered in 3 years ago. It has psychedelic cave vibes. That's all I will say about the inside--you have to go experience it for yourself. There's no other bar like this in SF. I love the chill vibes here and the fact that you can actually hear what other people are saying vs. scream over people and music. I love their Sour options and love the fact that they have Sake. I don't know how to spell her name, but Jeanile? Janeal?--was super awesome! Great conversation, giggles, and vibes. She definitely made our night there exponentially better! read more

I'm glad this place still exists. It feels like a dive that's been lost by time. It's still decorated in the fashion of a downed plane, and the joint is still cash only. Graffiti lines its walls, and the worn-down cushions remain. Unlike most hipster joints with $20 cocktails and uncomfortable seating, you could get lost in a night out here while throwing back some beers and just enjoying the eclectic tunes. It's a throwback that I fear will soon be lost to gentrification and time, so get in while you can. read more

What a cool little hole in the wall on Haight St! Great selection of craft brews, friendly staff, and dope music in an otherworldly atmosphere. Also check out their happy hour specials! A must if you're in this area...JeNeel is the best! read more

Noc Noc - Elysian Space Dust IPA - Dive Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Fantastic people in a great neighborhood. International beer selection too! No food, but bring it in if you're hungry.

The beer is still great, the place has a great culture, and a lot of that is thanks to bartenders here like Jeneel. I'm extremely happy Noc Noc made it to the otherside of a pandemic that claimed at lot of businesses. With zero screens and zero distractions it's a great place for quality time with others. read more

Hi Rahmat S. this is Ernest Takai Happy to see The BAR NOC NOC is doing well good vive good music is the important, I wish I can remodel the lounge again for the last time とにかく頑張ってこのバーをあと100年持たせてください 高井誠也 read more

My favorite Lower Haight bar, dark and cozy. Been drinking here on and off for 20 years when I travel to SF on business. The staff are all cool, friendly and knowledgeable about beer. The owner Rahmat is a super nice guy and the pretty girl with blond hair (Janeel I think), is awesome. I have been in town for a few days with my friend from Seattle celebrating his 50th birthday and she went out of her way to get some cupcakes delivered as a nice birthday surprise for him. 5 stars for the bar, 5 stars for the owner and 5 stars for the bartender for going the extra mile to deliver a great customer experience. Can't wait to come back!!!! Mike Monroe. read more

We really liked coming here to see Janelle, it's a bummer she got fired but she wasn't being professional before she was let go, forgetting orders, going into the kitchen for 5 minutes, letting long lines of frustrated customers build up, just not being a professional bartender. The nice long haired guy is great but we miss her! Anyway, the bar is awesome, the ambiance is awesome, the beers are awesome and so are the prices. read more

We rented out Noc Noc in late January to host a surprise engagement party for some of our friends. It was a fantastic experience and would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, intimate space to celebrate a special occasion with those you love. Rahmat, the owner, gave us a great quote for the evening (the best we got in town) and was super responsive in the days leading up to the event. On the day of, he tended bar (serving a really nice variety of beer & sake) and was just a really fun, friendly presence. He let us show up early to set up decorations, bring in outside food and got us hooked into the bar's sound system so we could get everyone dancing. It was a night to remember and we were all very grateful to Rahmat and Noc Noc for making it so easy. I will definitely be back in the future! read more

Pros - Great beer selection - The bartender's are usually pretty nice - Cool and weird ambiance - They take credit cards Cons - No lock on the men's room door read more

We rented this bar out for my friends engagement party and it was perfect. Great sake and really nice owner!

Noc Noc's dive bar is dimly lit with vibrant colors giving its own unique atmosphere that might make you feel as if you were enjoying drinks in some epic and prehistoric space cantina! Unusual chairs or seating that is arranged in such a way as to be little nooks everywhere. I mostly enjoy how easy going this place is to visit. read more

This place is awesome. great beer selection and top notch staff. The décor is fantastic, and I can only describe it as Beetlejuice meets the flintstones on a plane ride to bohemia... no TVs, just good music in the background :) read more

The vibe at Noc Noc has been right all night. Everything about the atmosphere is desirable in the most genuine way. This bar is not trying too hard, just hard enough. Try the uncle pat or the sour monkey. You can't go wrong with any drink. There were so many different types of people in this bar and we were all having the best time in here. Any time spent at Noc Noc is time well spent read more

"And now it's time to play. Hip hip hip hip hooray!" - The Fraggles Noc Noc is where Fraggle Rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraggle_Rock) would have hung out in their downtime, in between Fraggle Rock sets....if they boozed it up (cause we all know they were smoking up) and weren't in the mood for flaming zambucca shots. Bobby Trendy's macabre-obsessed cousin could have easily decorated Noc Noc... blindfolded. It's interior looks like someone did a couple of whiffs of something and found some inner Burning Man persona and deco-puked all over the place. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, It's different. Noc Noc gives you something to look at. It's artistic and fun. Borderline "special." Noc Noc takes takes majlis style seating to a new level. Their low cushioned floor seating reminds me of mandatory carpet story time in elementary school; picking at carpet lint, while I listened to the Little Engine that Could. Noc Noc's seating is similar, intimate and relaxing. Their window alcoves are also fun spots to hang out, and are perfect for ( I stress small) group conversations and people watching. And they have a live DJ. A big plus right there. But athough Noc Noc has its unique charm, it isn't really my kind of bar. It lacks the warm atmosphere that I love about the Page Bar and they don't serve hard alcohol. They only serve wine, sake, and beer. I've heard their wine and beer are solid, but it seems surreal toasting wine at Noc Noc, and I have trouble finishing and appreciating beer lately. The last time I finished a bottle or pint of beer...I was watching a new episode of Project Runway. It's been awhile. Additionally Noc Noc does get loud, and if you're perched on the corner of a table, you just get bits and pieces of stories. Friend "Yeah....he..........finger!" Me "what?" Friend "And she....stuffed.....pie!" Me "what?" After playing conversation mad libs for a good half-hour, hanging out with the smokers outside of Noc Noc, becomes a welcome break. Sigh of relief. Ears open. I can understand everything. And it's always nice to get some light, because Noc Noc is dimly lit. Sigh of relief. Eyes open. I can see everything. But... ... even though Noc Noc isn't where I'll take my weekend tolerance, if you're with the right people, and are quick on the claiming of seats, it has the potential to be a cozy and fun pre-gaming spot. read more

If you could make a bar out of the house from the movie Beetle Juice. This would be the place. I kept thinking that the song "Day-O" was about to start and we were all going to start uncontrollably singing along and dancing to it. This is totally the type of place my husband and I would frequent if we lived closer. The only bad thing I noticed is that they only serve beer & wine. I would rather have a funky cocktail here than a glass of beer. Though, the beer I did have was called "The Big Black Daddy." It was fun just saying that. read more

It was a dark and stormy night. OK, it was a balmy (65 degrees) January day on Haight Street and we wanted to check out the local watering holes. Our 21-year old son pointed us at Noc Noc, a curious, dark cave of a bar on a noteworthy block (barwise) in the lower Haight. Were the strings of lights leftover from Christmas? or was it just part of the oddball decor. We warmed our hands by the fake fireplace, took a few looks around the dimly lit and weirdly decorated intereior, and grabbed seats at the bar. Seventeen draft taps stared us down, with a menu offering beer drinks like Black Racer (a Guinness/Racer 5 black & tan) and Uncle Pat (Guinness & cider). Andrea, our cheery bartender-ette was both fun and entertaining! The ample 16-oz pours were $1 off during HH (until 7 pm daily). Noc Noc is another one of the reasons to check out the lower Haight! Its bars and restaurants are as good or better as in the more touristy Haight, and you'll find more locals and less traffic. Plus, at $15, you can pick up a souvenir T shirt that will let all your friends know you visited hippieville Haight St! read more

The place feels different with cold sake. Get it. Update: I'm worried because I find myself almost every day here. So I'm either an alcoholic or a fan.
