Service felt friendly and laid-back, and the space had that cozy local feel where regulars actually know the staff. Parking can be a little tricky, but it's an easy walk if you're nearby. A great casual spot for drinks and tasty bites in the neighborhood. Would definitely come back! read more

They need to up their game! If they're gonna serve food, serve food not from another restaurant attached to it. I don't know. It just wasn't good and way too expensive. The beer, though, however, was lovely. Also, if you're gonna put menus on the tables, maybe you should have servers. Just saying. read more

Lots of different drinks.,The bartender was really nice. There is an area where you could play pool. The place is clean and quiet right now, it is in the mission and it looks very safe. read more

Good local bar, a lot of old heads not really for the younger crowd if that's what you're looking for. It's a laid back type of vibe, drinks are good but pricey. They have a pool table and a back room as well. Worth checking out. read more

The bar is awesome! I love playing pool, and they have complimentary pool when you buy drinks. The bartenders are nice and attentive. The bar manager Cuong interacts with the customers, and he even asked me how I'm doing. He is always walking around talking and laughing with customers. It feels like a great neighborhood bar! Drinks are poured well, and have a good beer selection. Keep up the good job! read more

There is nothing more to like about the place other than the cocktail prices, my friends and I had 7 drinks and the bill was well over $100. The good thing is that you get complimentary credits to play poll so basically buying booze gets you to play pool for free. The bartenders are chill and nice, especially Gina. They have groovy fries but I guess anything tastes good when you're drinking. Overall a nice joint but I guess this is how going out is in the Bay area. read more

The bartenders super nice Gina great Job love the ambience found my new spot close to home read more

Great local Mission bar with the most amazing *secret* kitchen in back! Played pool while noshing on some of the best COLD, Peruvian ceviche I've ever eaten, followed by a beef empanada (shocked by how delicious this was!). I tried their fried chicken, and while it was beautifully prepared- the Peruvian stood out. read more

Nice location and they have pool table. Service and prices not so great. I'd rather go somewhere else.

A fun gathering spot with pool tables and loungy couches and chairs in the back room. When we were there, a pop out was serving delicious hamburgers, French fries and chicken wings. read more

Bartenders are horrible hella mean and rude bad customer service would not recommend to drink here

Bah hum bug!!! Sorry I don't like Christmas. Personal reasons. Butttt.... Rocks Den was really low key and mellow this evening just what I needed. Minus the OG arguing with his wife on his blue tooth. Hilarious though. Merry Christmas & Happy new year read more

Decent fries and good drink selection. Friendly staff. I like the couches they offer to sit in - great for large groups. My only gripe is a lack of taps for beer (bottles only). Recommended read more

Really want to make this my neighborhood bar but after paying $60+ for 4 drinks I'm not sure I'll be coming back. It's not like I'm in FiDI at some swanky joint but I'm in the excelsior for Pete's sake. Blame it on inflation I guess. Gonna walk the extra steps and head to the GPS instead. read more

Now this place is really cool but there wasn't a lot of people when we went. We went on a Monday and I guess no one goes to the bar on a Monday LOL My friends and I got a Hennessey and Coke and it was made just right. I love how you are able to play pool for free and the Bar played hip-hop music. I met the owner and he is very welcoming and nice. He made us feel right at home and I love how they have couches and chairs that you can sit to enjoy your drink. I deafly will be coming back on a weekend or knowing that there is a place in that area to hang out. They do close earlier than normal if they don't have a lot of people in the bar. They have a lot of drink selections and it wasn't overly priced either Definitely can't wait to try it again I know weekend or more busier time. read more

Rocks Den - Bar area - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

Large area to shoot pool without ppl being in your way. Table is well-maintained and free!

Great local bar. Its a bit of an odd place--the interior is designed as an upscale lounge but it's a pretty down-home neighborhood bar. It's a real born-n-raised SF spot with lots of 9ers/warriors/giants fans. I'm not in that crew, but sometimes it feels that way since I've been here since '05. Now, I'm a scumbag tech worker! I always meet really interesting people here while I should be going home to my wife and kid. I made friends with a face-tattoo guy, a guy that scoops ice cream at Mitchells, and occasionally invite some hoity-toity tech worker friends. I've gotten turned down for a drink here when I was too drunk. Thanks! Honestly! It's a huge step up from the Cotter's Corner, the cigarette-smoking-allowed-old-man bar that somehow survived well into 2013. They did have a great bong smoking porch in the back in those days, but happy to see the bar change hands for something more modern. My only complaint is the garnishes. If I order a 10-15$ martini or manhattan I would really like a big olive or a luxardo cherry. But I guess that's the asshole gentrifier in me. read more

Local spot, nice chill area to play pool and listen to tunes when we celebrated a 45th birthday. Good food prepared to enjoy for the event

Was just there this Saturday 12/16/23 and the bartenders literally robbed us from our money. We bought multiple drinks and also tipped them on top of how much the drinks cost (their service was terrible by the way and dthey had the worst attitude). We ignored the negativity because we were there to have a good time but on Monday when a couple of us saw our accounts we noticed that the amount was different (I don't know if they thought we were drunk and wouldn't realize) luckily we have receipts, unfortunately they were adjusting the tip and tipping themselves a higher amount. The place was nice, the people there that night were good vibes besides the bartenders. read more

We came here on a Saturday night randomly and this guy was by far the nicest and LITTest bartender I've ever met! I wish I could give this guy 10 stars ! read more

Looking for a nice and low-key joint to hang out with your best buds? Rocks Den is the perfect place to kick it! I came here with my friends to play pool and have some beers and it was a great time. The staff is friendly and their playlist bops! Sure it's nothing fancy, but there's a certain charm about bars like these. It's dark and moody with plenty of TV's to watch sports games. I particularly liked the cozy seating area in the back with the "fireplace" and sofa. read more

Hung out at Rocks Den last night with coworkers to celebrate birthday and had a blast as always. Rocks Den is one of those dive/sports bars that's excellent to hang out out at. Perfect place to just chill. The only thing that ruined the evening was that the Seahawks beat the Rams. As a 9er fan, any time the Seachickens lose I'm happy. read more

One of the coolest most chicest sports bars I've ever had the pleasure of coming to. My partner came down with me for my very quick work trip( I was literally only here for a day) and we were looking for a place to watch the Texas Tech vs Virginia State game on Monday. The bartender was amazing and super attentive. They have an amazing happy hour. And it has such an old school feel. Loved it and the most important part was that he enjoyed it the most. Would definitely come back if I'm in town and there's a game going on. read more

My good old neighborhood bar/watering hole. Dope spot to kick it with friends, they have a pool table you just need to wait your turn(s). Great selection of drinks and an awesome chill bartender. They allow outside food and have 2 great spots next door one being El Salvadorian the other is sushi/Japanese. Plenty of TV's to watch that game you want to watch also. read more

I came in later hour, I get it people are toread it is the middle of the week som people are done. However if you're in the bar and restaurant industry you should mentally prepare for late night customers. In my experience as a bar patron last call is typically 1:30. I do apologize if I come I. At 12:45 or 1 am. But in general I do think I am allowed 45 to 30. Minutes to enjoy the drink I spent hard earned money on. Tonight that was not that case. The security called my friend out by name which does lead me to believe there may have been a past incident however if the security is not honest and lets my friend or people in general that they fucked in what I am to think about my friend other than he is a good upstanding bar drinker. If he was not let him know and let me as his friend know. I felt rushed out in a general gang and prison mentality I did not feel welcomed And I would not recommend and HIGHLY discourage people from going there if your I tention is to have a fun night. The security guard looked as if he wanted to instigate a fight so if you if you want to go world star all the more power to you but if this is the place to relax and have a drink there are better bars close by read more

Gone are the days of Cotter's Corner, a dark, creepy looking bar with no more than five patrons. The new manager did a fantastic job upgrading the bar inside out - the interior is nicely updated with several beers on tap and ample TVs for your sporting needs. I frequent this place almost once a week, just to support the local neighborhood, and I've never been disappointed. So far, my bartenders has been the manager and Johnny, both are cool dudes, super chill and friendly. I can count on Johnny to whip me up a bomb ass martini! Although they don't serve food here, they encourage you to grab food from the local eatery and have some drinks here. If you're in the Excelsior/Mission area, definitely give this place a try! read more

After my trip to Florida, then New Orleans, then Napa, on my first Friday night back in San Francisco, and my date and I mutually bailing on each other, I wanted something local. As I went to pick up Sushi Raw, I noticed a sign I had never seen before: Rocks Den. The hell did this nice new sign come from? I take a peak in and notice a bar. A new bar! I grabbed my to go order, and as I walked past I said "It's Friday, and this is a new bar. Let's do it!" The bar itself is pretty long, with a few tables against the opposite wall, and plenty of space in between if this place starts hopping. There is also a pool table, and a back room with a huge TV, but there are plenty of tvs, which is why I guess this classifies as a sports bar. The staff was really nice, explaining that they were celebrating their 9th week open. Their tap list isn't that huge, and their beer bottle list only adds a few, but they had plenty of liquor. With the environment, this definitely stands out from Pissed Off Petes and the other dive bars in the area. And I told them straight up this would become a weekly stop. I didn't see a drink menu, but got a standard whiskey and coke that wasn't watered down. It was on the house as it was my first time as a local and left a $10 tip. I could see this becoming a 5 star if I become a regular. I just like that I have Glen Park Station and now Rocks Den depending on which side of 280 I find myself. read more

Johnny, the wanna be bar tender is horrible. Does not know how to treat people in a kind manner. Looses his patience by the order of a drink. I truly think he missed his customer service class. Shame on the owners to have such person behind the bar. However this is not a reflection on the female bartenders they're awesome and always greet me with a warm smile that's why I'm giving 3 stars cuz this place could be a 5 star without HIM! read more

I had the most fun here watching the Finals 2017. Lit lit lit! Put your Warriors swag on and grab a drink (or a pitcher) for your crew. The staff knew how to entertain the patrons and even played music to hype everyone up for the next game! The bar is also on a side of mission where food is somewhat close, yet far away. Parking can be difficult but uber or the 14 can help solve your issues.. Liquor stores are also steps away if it gets crowded inside the bar. When there's a game, definitely hit up Rocks Den! read more

Went here for the first time on a Wednesday a couple of weeks ago to meet an acquaintance for their Happy Hour. I was promptly greeted by Billie Jean the bartender. She made friendly chit chat, made my drink, and periodically checked to see if I needed anything. Definitely one of the nicer and very attentive bartenders I have met. Her replacement (did not get his name) was also pleasant and just as good as well. The bar itself was clean along with the furniture. The back of the bar had a nice billiard table, and a lounge area (couch, chair, TV and fire place). I did not make use of those areas since I was busy chatting away at the bar itself. However I did see the other patrons playing billiards and watching the Warriors game on the couch. Their restrooms are in decent condition. Definitely a positive given that bars usually have dirty restrooms. Their drinks were made fine, but I will say I order simple cocktails or beer. I did order a gin martini and it was on the same level as other great martinis I have had. Overall a great experience and I look forward to hanging out here again. Makes me wish I had a local bar like this close by home. Keep up the good work! read more
