It's a chill bar that allows dogs. The decor is pretty minimal but the space is pretty big. They can early accommodate a large party. You order your food and drinks at the bar. When we were there, there was one employee working the bar while another person was cleaning or in the back. It seemed like the bar tender knew most of the folks walking in. We got the margherita pizza, garlic fries, and mushrooms. The food was good! Pizza is light and crispy. The sauce tasted balanced and didn't overwhelm the taste of the rest of the pizza. The fries were great with a good amount of garlic and seasoning. Mushroom was good too. Overall the food was pretty good. They all have a bunch of beers and ciders on tap. I got an IPA. Overall a nice spot to chill at and get some bar food. I'd come back.

I'm a Dodger fan and we came in at night for something to eat. The people here are very friendly despite the sports rivalry. The lady behind the bar was very nice and provided great service. Definitely a great place to get a late night meal and drink. I definitely recommend this place!

Chicken Jalapeno White Pie

A perfect place to meet after work for when we want someone else to cook dinner! The space is quite large, neat, and good for groups, plus there are several TVs for watching sports. I liked the decor, art made by local 6th and 7th graders. It seems like a comfy and chill spot for locals to gather. Plus the staff are friendly and attentive. We placed our order at the bar, were given a number, and took our drinks with us to a booth. Eric and I split the wedge salad and a chicken jalapeño pizza. After we finished our salad, our server offered to change our plates. We said no, cuz like why dirty more dishes! But it was nice to be asked :) Solid, tasty food that I washed down with a full size guava cider. Yum! So many other things I want to try on their menu - hope we can come back to try them soon!

Menu, May 2024

Unless you're an SF native or lived in the city long enough, you've probably never heard of Portola (same with Vis Valley and Little Hollywood). Unfortunately, there's not much going on in this hood...except for Cantonese BBQ delis + bakeries and Jim Georgie's. I do remember there being an AZN bar on San Bruno Ave. but it's a blur like the rest of my 20s. So, when I read that there was a new cocktail bar that's dog friendly...LFG! Opening in April 2024, Out The Road took over FDR (brewery) that closed in 2021. They offer takeout and indoor dining. Order at the counter, take a placard, seat yourself, and your order will be brought to you. M E N U American Cuisine: Salad, fried apps, burger/sandwiches, and pizza. - Food menu: https://tinyurl.com/ycs2u95z - Drink menu: https://tinyurl.com/4vfx4a44 4% service charge added to bill. I don't mind paying these fees but it wasn't disclosed on the menu. D R I N K * 7 Leguas Blanco w/ club soda ($13): https://tinyurl.com/y5pzveyy F O O D * Crispy Maitake Mushrooms w/ romesco ($9) // 4 stars: https://tinyurl.com/57y2bv5t Solid drunchie - hot and crunchy meaty maitake mushrooms served with a side of zesty tomato based romesco sauce for dipping. * Burger w/ american cheese, lettuce, onions, lawry's mayo, potato bun ($14) // 3 stars: https://tinyurl.com/574dwzme - Requested medium rare - Add fries (+$4) // 4 stars Burger patty was cooked to medium with a nice pink center. The bun and cheese were quite industrial tasting which distracted from the overall taste. Maybe the pizza is the way to go here? Can't go wrong with freshly fried shoestring fries tho! S E R V I C E Friendly, chill, and prompt. A M B I A N C E Bare-bones with several high top tables, booths, and bar seating. Enjoyed the hip hop music bumping from the kitchen. P A R K I N G Metered and residential street parking. Beware of your surroundings at night. Overall, Out the Road is a welcome addition to Portola. If you live in the area and looking for a low-key spot for craft cocktails, def hit them up!

Margarita Pizza
Andrea Z.

Visited on a Sunday around 7:15 pm with a friend. The bar had a few other guests but plenty of open seats available, great for walking in. I decided to grab seats at the bar. Drink: Nitro Negroni - smooth, nice balance of sweet and bitter, not too boozy, well chilled, really enjoyed this Food: Fried maitake mushrooms - delicious, lightly battered and fried, these were crispy and airy, served with a flavorful romesco sauce, definitely order one for the table Margarita Pizza - pretty good, thin crust with a nice chew, tangy tomato sauce, topped with mozzarella, grana and a herb pistou, wish this was finished with a bit of salt or more grana cheese and baked a tad longer for a crispier bottom but overall a solid pie. Size was about 12-14" across and cut into 6 slices, I'd say enough to serve 2 if you order an appetizer or two to accompany Service was great, the bartender was warm and friendly with great knowledge of the drink and food menu. Water was refilled throughout the meal and the bartender checked in regularly. Food came out fairly quickly. Overall a great addition to the Portola district, a nice casual spot with reasonable prices for drinks and dinner. Full bar available which is a major plus and a nice variety of bites, sandwiches and pizza. Excited to come back to try more of the menu!

Brat Ruben with French Fries
Joel Christian A.

Neighborhood bar in portola in the old bones of a brewery. Modernized with a kitchen and full bar, great place for happy hour or nightly neighborhood events. Enjoyed their brat reuben which was served quick and tasted great. Great for those in the area or a post-meal drink. Also has the vibe of a newly minted sports bar, with TVs ready for all sports fans

A Pilsner while watching the world pass on San Bruno Avenue
Eric C.

I'm really glad there's a tavern on San Bruno again. They've a nice selection of beers - some national brands and some local breweries. A full bar means they can also throw together cocktails for folks. The food menu means we don't have to leave to get a bit to eat. We had two beers each, and split a salad and a pizza for our impromptu Date Night. The fact that Out The Door is served by the no. 9 is a bonus! Take the bus, ya'll!

Bartender Rich makes a great mezcal cocktail

New gem in Portola district. We are so happy that this cool new spot opened on the neighborhood's commercial strip of San Bruno. We went last week to try it out on a Friday night. The place was full and the vibe was happy. The staff were super nice, with the bartender asking what kind of cocktails we like before he recommended a few. Cocktails on point. Also got a pizza, which is definitely the best pizza in the Portola district. Plenty of pepperoni. The sausage sandwich was excellent, and the fries were well done just like I like them. More than the quality of food or drink, I liked the people there. I met other neighborhood folks, and ran into my sister's best friend! It's a place where customers talk to each other and can hang out in a 3rd space.

Chicken sando with shoestring fries
Alexander b.

This is just what the neighborhood needed!! Great service from the start, the staff knows their beer and cocktails. The food is delicious and comes out before you know it. The burger is fire along with the chicken bites and the chicken sando. The fried mushrooms with the romesco sauce is my favorite especially with their cold Pilsner on tap. The bar is clean and has great local art work in it. The bathrooms are brand new which is refreshing for a bar in SF. Great staff, great food, great drinks ! Definitely check this bar out!!!

Actually, I take something out of the lunch menu, which is Beyond Burger; pickles at the top, lettuce, tomato, and cheese; old school American style with a plant based patty! I eat the fries first since they're fresh and chewy. Wish I stick around for an appetizer or a salad; but given that there's several people dining indoors while few of us outdoors, I'll have to pass. Before I walk a couple of blocks toward 7 Mile House, I noticed the gas prices for both gas stations are just as high as near my neighborhood. I'll be wondering how long will a famous family run restaurant can go an extra mile before it runs out of steam.

I think there's even a karaoke night, to boot. though I still miss the Last Stop, Recovery Room has nicely filled in its absence and continues to be one of my favorite bars in this part (Excelsior District) of town.

This meal was consumed at home on St. Patrick's Day. Delivery always robs you of a restaurant's true experience but despite ~50% of my genes being Irish, I have absolutely no tolerance for drunk people. My husband ordered the corned beef & hash because he's obsessed with the "tradition" aspect of food. I swear to god it's the only reason we tried this place. He could be on the road in the middle of the Mojave with a trunk full of perfectly ready-to-eat food, and he'll starve his ass to death if it happens to be St. Patrick's Day unless somehow a corned beef & hash food truck materializes in the desert. It's positively infantile. My Ratatouille moment was with the beef stew. The last time I had a proper beef stew was probably more than 25 years ago. My mom made my grandma's recipe when I was a kid. My husband, bless his heart, has erroneously claimed for 20 years, with minimal pushback from me because I'm polite, that there is no good stew. "It's a terrible dish with dried out meat bathing in oversalted broth!" He changed his mind when had the stew from Napper Tandy. Now the cheesecake? The cheesecake was an absolute joke and it wasn't even particularly great. It was very average but when you factor in the value, it becomes terrible. Maybe I got the last slice from an oversliced cheesecake but $6 for a sliver, and I do mean sliver--at the crust's edge my cheesecake was no wider than 2". You guys can buy a whole cheesecake from Atlanta Cheesecake Co. that's 32 Oz. for $12. You charge $6 per slice. Stay with me here. You can give customers a nice fat ol' piece of cheesecake from the delectible Atlanta Cheesecake Co. that actually makes it seem like they're getting their money's worth, it will taste amazing, and you can still charge $6 per slice. That's a 300% profit!

One of the new friends and fellow Yelpers knew the bartender, Lisa, so we all enjoyed a few more beers and cocktails to round out the night. Lisa was a great host and didn't rush us out as we stayed until a little after closing. I was also able to get a game of pool in with one of the regulars as well. Now that I've joined a billiards league, I will be back often for a beer and to work on my game!

My experience soured due to harmful actions by bartender Mary, her boyfriend Damien (who does not work at the bar), and Kim (another bartender who got involved despite missing the original incident). One evening, Mary was drinking whiskey on shift while her dog appeared unwell nearby. As friends who had plans to get our nails done the following week, I offered to take the dog out for some air when she did not respond. I stepped outside for 60 seconds, returned immediately, and explained what happened. She seemed upset at first, but it appeared resolved at the time. Damien (around 6 feet tall and 200 pounds) escalated the situation aggressively by dragging me outside, yelling at me with a closed fist raised, and using a racially insensitive slur (a variation of the n-word). This was deeply terrifying for me as a Black woman who is 5 feet 3 inches tall and about 120 pounds. It was not the first time either, he had previously shouted at me when I jokingly asked for a glass of water, though he later apologized, saying that is how he talks to friends. I accepted that and moved forward as adults. A week later, I returned to the bar calmly to clarify the situation and even apologize for any confusion about the dog. Instead, Mary called the police, falsely claiming I had threatened her and that I was banned from the bar (both untrue). Six officers arrived and, after hearing my side, confirmed I was within my rights as a customer and that while she was not required to serve me, others certainly could. They all comforted me while I cried because I could not believe the escalation. I complied fully and left peacefully. Despite this, Mary and now Kim (who was not even present for the original issue) continue to deny me service, blacklist me, and spread false stories, like me trying to steal her dog, to other bartenders and patrons across San Francisco. This defamation has real consequences: people I have known for years now avoid me, harming my deep community ties here, where my family has roots, and my professional reputation in human resources, where trust is everything. Mary has also openly admitted to me and others that she takes unpaid shots while on shift. She previously bragged about getting a Black male bartender fired by sending footage of a messy bar to the owner, then later denied it, showing a pattern of inconsistent and harmful behavior. This ongoing exclusion, harassment, and slander must end. I deeply respect Damon and Lee's hard work and want everyone to thrive and make money in this tough economy, but the actions of these staff members undermine the inclusive, welcoming environment they have created. Update: I am pursuing legal action and have a meeting with an attorney next week. I have never received an apology or a chance to discuss the situation, and so many people are now shaming me and my name because of a complete misunderstanding. The owners have decided I am no longer welcome, and I fully respect that. I want everyone to be happy and to make money in this economy. If the bar must be held liable, I will likely drop the suit, but if I can stop Mary and Damien from continuing to harm my reputation, then I will do so. Because I am being honest, I am happy to swear on a Bible about this experience and why this matter is completely ridiculous and unjust. Black people, women especially, are unfairly targeted in the US, and the one place that was a haven, the Bay Area, is now seeing that inclusion spread thin. I refuse to lay down and say it's okay. It is not. The optics do not lie, and yet again I am having to stand up for myself without a single human being supporting me. It hurts, but I won't let this ruin others' good experiences at the bar. Do better and be better, life is short, and there's no need to continue spreading hate.

Definitely the best time I've had in San Francisco this far!!…read more I'm a San Joaquin County native born and raised. Visiting the city is always a privilege and adventure. This occasion I was blessed with free Giants tickets so we went. After the game we cruised and the ladies had to use the restroom. So we decided to stop here. Looked like a cool dive. Upon arriving we revieved smiles and greetings from the patrons smoking, we felt comfortable. As I led my two friends in I was greeted by John, the bartender. My friends went to handle business and I ordered my drink and he offered the usual garnish that compliments it. I take it plain tho so I said no. We began talking about the neighborhood then felt part of it. It was around 1130 and you can feel the vibe of guests enjoying the atmosphere. Red leather button top booths reminded me of Cadillacs or an elegant lounge. Before you know it, our rest stop becomes 2 drinks a piece. Asking ourselves, "are u sure you're ready to go?.. ok one more." Definitely a cool spot to accidentally run in to. Thanks John.

My only complaint is that one of the billiard balls was missing. Other than that, I think this is going to be my go-to spot to relax after a long week or my hideout when I don't have a busy weekend.
