I've been coming to this space since it was "Left at Albuquerque", and wow, what an upgrade. The Brixton is a classy higher-end spot that is perfect for larger groups or family gatherings. They offer a huge variety of New American fare with generous shareable portions or small plates. The layout was well thought out as every table is comfortable and offers visitors enough room to play musical chairs for those large group meetups. The Brixton gets busy fairly often, but again, the layout and spacing makes it such that you can hear everyone in your party without screaming. The food is great, and I've yet to find a dish that I wouldn't resoundingly recommend. The servers are knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. The Brixton is always on my recommendation list as a place to hang out in the Marina/Cow Hollow area. read more

I had high expectations. But I also knew it was a Saturday night and moreover Valentine's Day. It was extraordinarily loud. We asked for a quiet table and they found us one. But it was still hard to hear each other across the table. My husband had a drink at the bar. He ordered a second at the table and they brought him a third. We ordered wontons that never arrived. He ordered a salad with his hamburger and they brought him fries. The food was delicious. Dessert was disappointed. We ordered an apple pie but it was more like a pop tart. All pastry and only a tiny bit of apples. Our server was very helpful and accommodating. I understand that the kitchen was slammed. But I always wonder when the wait staff who takes your order is not the one delivering your food. That's where the mistakes happen. My scallops were delicious. All four tiny ones. Next time we'll come when it's hopefully quieter. read more

Went here for a casual brunch with one friend. We showed up late for our reservation (messaged them we would be late ahead of time ) and were sat immediately. Our servers name was Matt, and he was AMAZING! He was so kind and very attentive, will be requesting him everytime I go from here on out! I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was amazing, along with the hashbrowns. read more

The Brixton - Ahi Tataki Salad - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Perfect brunch spot. They recently redid the inside and it's beautiful and sleek. The staff was incredibly nice and very helpful. But you're coming here for the food and every bite is worth it. The recommendations: First and foremost, all dishes are quite large, so be mindful Highly recommend brunch cocktails. They do a fantastic job. Fair warning - if you do the spicy margarita, it IS spicy. They infuse their tequila with jalapeño and habanero so it definitely packs a punch. Frittata- large, full of little extras either great flavor. French toast - massive portion. Highly recommend splitting this as a sweet option for the table. Burger - sloppy and fantastic. It did get a little soggy at one point, but the flavor made up for any of the drips. BLTA - I added smoked salmon to this one which I highly recommend. The bread is fantastic and the overall sandwich is very hardy. Awesome spot. Will definitely go back! read more

I arrived early for my reservation and a seemingly random man wandered up to the host stand and greeted me. I think he might be the owner or a manager. He was nice enough. I wasn't seated where I requested and it wasn't busy, but my table was still fine. The server was friendly and checked in frequently without being overbearing. The ambiance was casual and quiet. The food was pretty mediocre. The BLTA was fine. Nothing remarkable. I also had the Crème Brûlée, which was also just fine. It had a random shortbread cookie on top that really doesn't make sense with the dish. I could have done without it. Everything was just...fine. read more

There are many places to eat on Union Street and this is just one that's not as memorable. I used to love Brixton and their awesome happy hours. The former owner made the place fun and edgy with cool music venue posters from days past. Then there was a closure and redo. It's over priced and just has a different attitude. There's a fireplace in front by the open doors so it's not really cozy. The staff are nice. The drinks are good. The dessert is yummy. We had the best salad and the smash burger with fries. It was fine. read more

This was a wonderful breakfast outing, on a perfect sunny day in SF. We decided on The Brixton on Union in the Marina. The service was fantastic...prompt, never an empty water glass and plates removed when the meal was consumed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Menu variety made it hard to choose just one! (We'll have to go back!) Indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Charged $10/each (pre tax/tip) for beers that were supposed to be $6 during happy hour (3-6pm Saturday) and even on the menu during normal hours, they were listed as $9, so nothing is matching up here price-wise. Disappointing. read more

One of the more underwhelming restaurants in the Marina in terms of food. The vibe and then aesthetics at the Brixton are always lively and fun but the food just fails to amaze me. It's by no means bad but for the price it's not where it should be. The service was great as our waitress was super attentive and sweet. Would come here for drinks before a night out but would skip dinner. read more

They used to have great burgers, fries and service. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Went here for lunch recently and they downgraded my Wagyu hamburger to the Smashburger and tried to charge me the higher price. I had to ask a 2nd server to confirm that the hamburger served was a mistake and they offered to make the correct, more expensive burger. By that time, I didn't trust the staff so suffered and ate that miserable "smashburger" flat, thin, tasteless wannabe burger. I can't recommend this place anymore and won't ever return. Terrible, unwelcoming staff and horrible food. Don't get ripped off, there are tons of other great options on Union St. read more

MARTINI TOWER This is the only reason I wanted to come here. And the Tini tower didn't disappoint. 6 mini martinis (we did half lemon drop half dirty) and lots of little snackys! Honestly the vibe inside is not like soooo super fun. There was 13 of us on a Saturday night and there was like 2 other groups in the whole place.... Place just needs a little PR and this place could be awesome! read more

The Brixton - MARTINI TOWER - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is a straight up rip. Way overpriced and then they slip in an 8% "just cuz" charge without telling you and then ask for a tip on top of all the taxes and additional charges. Food is decent but with 100 other options in the neighborhood we won't be getting gouged here a second time. read more

I dined here last night after my friend saw the sign for Girl Dinner. After a little bit of research, it's only available when using the Blackbird app (which is an app to pay your bill). I downloaded the app prior to arrival & made reservations via Open Table which was easy enough. The girl dinner is only featured on Wednesdays for about a month (May 2025) & this specific offer started on 4/30. Both individuals have to order the same meal so we both ordered burgers (the girl dinner standard burger has no bun) & my friend ordered that served medium but I ordered mine with a bun served medium rare. The burger is pretty big & seasoned perfectly. I devoured my entire burger except a few bites of the bun. Martinis are the accompanying beverage (gin, vodka or espresso tini). My friend had the gin martinis (including mine because I'm on antibiotics so I couldn't partake). We also shared a tuna tataki salad which was good but the burger was my favorite. Service is friendly & helpful. read more

Went on a Friday night to find plenty of open tables. Our first time since they changed the menu, the French dip sandwich was so big it was cut into 3 parts. Kale Cesar salad was tasty, added chicken was a little dry. Tip to use InKind to get cash back to use at other restaurants! read more

I only came here for one thing only and it was for the martini tower!! It was super cute and such fun little idea. It came with 6 mini glasses of martinis accompanying with blue cheese stuffed olives, seasoned nuts, and potato chips. Came here around 9pm on a Friday and it was super packed but luckily I made reservations in advance which I highly recommend you to do if you plan on coming here. I sat in the back of the restaurant and it was spacious enough for my group of 5. The vibes were a mix of both vibrant and lively. There was music playing and lots of laughter going around the whole atmosphere. A typical night in the city during the weekend. It was my first time trying a dirty martini and I expected it to taste better in my head. That's just a personal preference but I think I'll stick to my regular espresso martinis or old fashions. The service was great, everyone was super friendly however not as attentive as I wished. Overall, great place for a girls night out or even date night! read more

We visited the Brixton for Sunday brunch with friends. It's a lovely place, blending the atmosphere of a chic restaurant with a casual sports bar. The music was initially pleasant, though it did get a bit louder when they switched to a sports channel. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, and our food and drinks arrived promptly. The food was tasty, though the chicken salad, while delicious, wasn't quite filling enough for my appetite. The French toast was quite good. We'll definitely return to try more of their menu offerings. read more

The Brixton canceled my reservation on OpenTable without giving a reason while I was already in an Uber on the way to the restaurant. I understand cancellations can happen, but it's not acceptable that they didn't at least send a message or call to explain the reason. read more

I was excited to try the new revamped Brixton after hearing good things but walked away with mixed reviews. All the food we ordered was great! We went for a light meal in the afternoon. I had the kale Cesar which I highly recommend. I also got a Bloody Mary which was relatively average but had a good spice level. The controversy arouse when asking whether our drinks would be included for their happy hour. There were signs posted around the venue advertising it. The waiter didn't know about the happy hour which is fair given everything was new but proceeded to give us attitude and never returned to tell us what the happy hours was, just put in our drinks at regular price. The service was great afterwards! The host came up and explained everything to us and put our drinks at the happy hour price. Additionally, they changed our servers which feels like a lot but honestly our new server was much more engaged and attentive. Just felt like there was a lot of reaction for asking about the happy hour they advertise. Overall, love what they have done with the venue. You can tell they are going for a more upscale brunch/ dinner vibe now. Hopefully this was just a one time glitch. read more

What's the point of buying tickets for a pub crawl if the participating bar don't honor it's commitment? We bought a ticket on SF Halloween bar crawl and they did not let us in, even though they were one of the participating bars.( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-official-san-francisco-halloween-pub-crawl-tickets-1114444817449 ). On top of that, the bouncers were *terrible*. Rude for no reason. Shameful and ridiculous treatment. If you had the same experience as my group, I suggest you call your bank and do a chargeback. read more

Since the recent renovation this place has been killing it. They have a wide array of items on the menu from tuna crispy rice to fried chicken sandwiches. The spinach artichoke dip is a must order, it comes piping hot and stays that way in its cast iron pan. That's only if you don't finish it within the first 5 minutes. Their fried chicken sandwich has got to be one of my favs, the chicken is so juicy and flavorful I could eat it solo. I love coming here for a classic dirty martini, or if you are a fan they also have espresso martini towers. It's always a great time and friendly environment to be in. read more

Food was absolutely mid, very bland, & not stimulating the senses at all. The ambience was really nice, and our server was awesome! But the food needs some major work. Their hot sauces tastes so bad and watered down, along with most their other food. Don't be so afraid to use some spices! read more

We have been here the last week opening a new shop down the street, and we have eaten here nearly every day! We are in love with this place. The decor, the staff, the food, and the cocktails! All five star! I especially love the wontons! And the guac and queso! Thank you for making a guac with no onions! It's amazing! read more

Really disappointed with our experience here. The bartenders were drinking on the job and spent more time taking selfies for Snapchat than actually serving customers. On top of that, the bartender Marilyn was very unhelpful and unkind when requesting help regarding our order to the point me and my girlfriend left. And before we could even ask for another round, our bartender Marilyn had already closed out our tab. Felt rushed out the door rather than welcomed. Won't be coming back. read more

Stopped in for a drink and app. Was so excited to see the refresh of the menu and restaurant-- disappointing. The mozzarella sticks weren't cooked all the way through... and they were almost 20$. read more

I love The Brixton! I live pretty close by, so it's convenient. I love the atmosphere. It's classy and peaceful. And always fun people to mingle with. I'm a big fan of their Brixton card, so look into that. It's great savings and my friends are thankful I referred them. The French dip is my favorite, and it's hard to find good ones, you know. And their Ahi seaweed salad. I also enjoy a good side car. The servers are very friendly and Hugo is awesome. Go in for a visit! read more

Great spot! They recently remodeled, and it's incredible. Would highly recommend their burger and fries. Great cocktails, sexy ambience with the French doors, and excellent location. Can't go wrong with Brixton! Very friendly staff and service as well. read more

Came here on a Saturday for brunch but it was also St. Patrick's day weekend and there was a prefixed menu with bottomless mimosas and breakfast dishes and corned beef and hash. We made a reservation for 1pm for a party of 3 people. We ordered a round of cocktails (bloody Mary's and San Francisco fling) and our server Kenneth was amazing and hospitable. We ordered from the brunch menu, I got the avocado toast, my friends got chillaquelles, a burger, and we shared the Ricotta & Berry Pancakes. It was pretty poppin, there was a dj and a nice place to have brunch. There's a full bar and seating both inside and outside. Parking can be tough around the marina. read more

Bartender lady working on May 17 was extremely rude. Completely ignored us even after making eye contact a few times and overlooking us constantly to attend others. We walked out of there eventually for lack of service. Will not return to this racist establishment. read more

My go to local spot in San Francisco. Don't skip the Carnitas wontons. Solid Wagyu burger and French Dip is always solid. Lively bar scene

The owner is an absolute racist. I was 1/3 black people in the entire bar. As I was leaving. I turned around to check on my group. He almost pushed me to the ground, telling me to leave. This was after I paid a full cover for the bar. I tried to explain that I had been in the bar for the past two hours and was waiting on my group and he instead chose to shove me out. This was while everyone stood looking confused as he shoved a 110 lb woman nearly to the ground. Meanwhile, a white patron who had left the bar was allowed ré-entry with no questions asked. I will never go back. Incredibly racist, horrible owner. read more
