    Cheap drinks here
    Stanley L.

    Come here if you like a cheap Midori Sour! I'm all about value and this is the bar to go to if you're in the neighborhood. They also have a backside parking lot which is nice. Vibes here are great, and as such I highly recommend respectfully!

    Jameson and Wines

    After dinner, we were looking for a bar. Walked by Silver Spur on the way to the car and decided to check it out. My group of four stopped by on Wednesday, January 2nd around 8:30pm. I believe we got two jamesons and two wines. One red and maybe one rose? The pours were good (at least for the whiskey) and our total ended up being $28.25 with tax, but not including tip. Not bad for 4 drinks. This is definitely a dive like bar. Dark, a little dirty, but the bartender was fun and so were the patrons. One had a really sweet dog. The four of us had a good time for the hour or so we were here. We were able to talk and just shoot the sh!t. Also, they gave us peanuts in case you need a little snack. Not a bad spot for one round.

    Fifa Women's World Cup morning!

    GREAT place to catch a sports game -- the Women's World Cup final was brilliant - good mix of locals and visitors - bartender Amy knew practically everyone by name and even provided bagels and donuts for people to enjoy over some damn solid bloody marys! Win win win!!!

    Lots of bars in SF get called dives, but if you exclude Irish pubs, strictly ironic dives (Doc's Clock), non-ironic dives that still attract ironic patrons (Murio's), bars for when the irony crowd is burned out on irony and just wants to hang out (Broken Record), and bars that are really just for people too lazy to leave their damn neighborhood (Miraloma Club, Philosopher's Club), you don't end up with much left. Skip's Tavern, maybe, if you're talking Chicago-style dive. But for a Northwesterner like me, Silver Spur is the closest thing to a textbook dive I've yet encountered. Low ceilings, wood paneling, Alice in Chains on the jukebox (remember: grunge now counts as classic rock), and honest-to-god plaid 'n' flannel patrons. Just like Washington, beyond the Microsoft-Starbucks green zone. One of these days I really oughtta ask what these people are doing living in SF; I bet I'd hear some interesting stories. No beers on tap, so either get a bottle or (my preference) Canadian whiskey. Stiff and dirt-cheap.

    So I walk into this bar, and there's a Pit Bull sitting on a stool. I know immediately that this is going to be an amazing experience. (BTW, the Pit Bull is named Sasha, and she belongs to the owners. She's very wiggly and was kind enough to snuggle with me a little bit before I ordered a drink.) I ordered a Bloody Mary, and then another Bloody Mary, because they were the best Bloody Marys I've had ... maybe ever. Perfectly spicy, not too boozey ... to die for. The bartender, Brian D., said that it's one of drinks he truly prides himself on, and I can see why. This place is cash only, but it's so reasonably priced and such a fun atmosphere, I don't mind making an ATM run. I only wish I lived closer so I could go there on the regular!

    Say what?! Your new favorite dive bar is ready for the holidays! Hell yea!

    Why do the bartenders add tip to the credit card without authorization?

    I've been drinking there for years and have never had this happen, nor have I heard of it happening.

For those of us who only eat outdoors, there are a few tables outside the bar that are pretty comfortable although it can get windy. From the minute we arrived, we were greeted with friendliness, all of the menus we might need, and an explanation of drinks, beer and wine. We chose to go all out and got a small pizza, their delicious onion dip, meatballs - more on that later - and buffalo wings. I was a bit disappointed that the happy hour wine was a Chardonnay and not the Ferentino that they let me taste, but the replacement house May logger was delicious. My husband had a steam beer, which was also very good. Throughout the service was impeccable, and we actually met the manager, Jon, who had a long conversation with us about the history of the bar and how they were trying to be a neighborhood comfortable place which they certainly have succeeded at. Now for the food - the meatballs were the best I have ever had in San Francisco and I am Italian from New York so that's saying something. We actually let Jon know who told the chef and it turns out the chef is from New Jersey so that makes a lot of sense. The onion dip is something like I've never had before. It's a crème fraîche with scallions I think? And maybe a bit of garlic and housemaid chips. We ate every single bite and actually dipped our pizza crust in the rest of the dip. The margarita pizza was also very good and as I finished it off for lunch today, I can tell you it's just as good the next day. The buffalo wings were what I would call actual buffalo style - I could taste the butter, hot sauce and garlic powder like back in the day on the East Coast. The chicken itself was good, not fatty, and the sauce was just like I want it. They offered ranch and blue cheese dip, which was great. We then had further conversations with almost all the staff who were so welcoming and friendly. We don't live super nearby, but I know we're going to go back to dinner, because I am dying to get their pork chop that looked really good. They also came and helped us put the stuff in boxes and explained the best way to take pizza home, which I never knew before. I can't wait to go back again

The legendary grime has been replaced by bright floors, refreshed bamboo, and a bar top so clean you can actually see your pupils dilating after the second round. It's still a dive, but now it's a dive you can bring a date to without needing a tetanus shot. The Heavy Artillery The drinks are still served in bowls large enough to sustain a small village during a drought.
