    Irish coffee is really great here!

    If you're a Philadelphia Eagles fan living in or visiting San Francisco, The North Star Café in North Beach is your place. This isn't just a bar--it's a home base. A sanctuary. A full-throttle, green-bleeding, fight-song-belting hub of Philly pride on the West Coast. Every Eagles game day, the back of the bar transforms into Birdgang SF territory--aka the most authentic Philadelphia Eagles crew in the city. These aren't bandwagon fans. These are the real deal. Folks from Philly, Jersey, and South Central PA who brought the 700 level energy straight to North Beach. Jerseys everywhere. High fives after every big play. And yeah, someone is absolutely screaming "Dallas Sucks" before kickoff. What makes it even better? The people. Birdgang SF is welcoming, passionate, and fun--they'll make sure any true Birds fan feels like family. And if you're new? Don't worry. Someone (probably Jimbo) will say hi, hand you a sticker, and scream the "E-A-G-L-E-S" chant with you like you've known each other for years. The bar itself doesn't serve food, but there's a place across the street that delivers with a buzzer system--super easy. You're in North Beach, so you're surrounded by Italian eats if you want to bring your own food. Bottom line: Whether you're homesick for Philly or just want to watch the game with people who get it, The North Star is the only place in SF that truly feels like a slice of the Linc. Go Birds.

    Are you an E.A.G.L.E.S. Fan? Enough said, Dickhead! Welcome to the party. A truly welcoming group of individuals whether you're from Philly or just a fan of all things Eagles. This group led by Mayor Jimbo will start your week off right. The bartenders and servers are a well-oiled hyper friendly machine that make you feel at home! Cheers to Chelsea and her fucked up indoctrination shot. Can't wait until the Super Bowl! GO BIRDS!

    Great bar to watch the LSU game while in San Francisco. Place was packed. You can bring food in if you'd like. Great atmosphere.
