Quality/Quantity - Our local neighborhood bar. Indoor and outdoor seating (smoking). Today it looked like every one went out front to smoke, I did not check to see if the back was closed. My buddy is a regular and knows the team that works here. This has been our go to place when I visit. Beers on tap, full bar, cocktail program, etc. Pool, darts, etc. Events - Bands, live music, etc. Happy hour available. But we always meet late at night as he is just too busy during the day and still has young kids. Atmosphere - Decent size neighborhood bar. Full bar, cocktails, wine, beer, etc. Quiet for a Friday night, which suits me just fine; actually, I prefer it that way. Open 7 days a week from noon till 2am, and we closed the bar, as usual (Yelp hours differ slightly). Events - See their website. Dart league, pool league, etc. Service - Good, not sure if she recognized me as a "regular" or because my buddy who is a regular and showed up later. Always able to open a tab or pay as you go. FYI - Free BBQ on select Sundays and munchies on select nights. Price - $80 + generous tip. Yes, we drink a lot. And could have even drank more. Actually very reasonably priced for SF, considering how many drinks we got today. Just noticed that I can buy pitchers?!?! That might save me a few $$ in the future, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2013; we have been day one customers. And will still continue to be. read more

This was the first bars I went to in the Outer Sunset and, years later, it remains one of my favorites. It cozy with darts, pool, and good, affordable drinks. But the real draw is the amazing community and bartenders. They make it feel like home. We've made great neighborhood friends and the bartenders, Marcus, Margarite, and Betty, have always made us feel so welcome. read more

It was chill came here for a dart tournament a the whole atmosphere was laid back. I'd definitely give it a 2nd go when I get the chance

I haven't here in a long time,I currently live on Taraval. When I was way fun I met the Bar tender at an event near bay. My girlfriend,,& her guy friend played darts. I played music. The service excellent! The people were as festive!Stop by it's Spectacular! read more

Really solid spot for a dive like bar. Friendly and nice bartender, fare prices, and plenty of seating. They also have tvs so it's good to watch sports and hang out read more

As a fifth generation San Franciscan I can truly appreciate a bar like the four deuces. My buddy who ive inown since 3rd grade texted me to meet up here...I had never heard of the 4 Deuces...I was shocked how great a place it is! Not really a dive bar at all. Really clean. Comfy space with plenty of screens, pool table, darts. Great backyard area. Reasonable prices. Pint and a shot are 12 bucks Fantastic staff. The lovely lady who was 4-5th gen SF was amazing. Highly recommend watching a game here. read more

I've gone to this bar for 3 years and i've loved it!!! I come here whenever Marcus is working, he's really the best!!! He does so amazing at making drinks, and always is there for me if I just need to talk. I hope I can take senior pics here in June because I love it here! read more

Cool place to grab drinks, play pool and darts with some friends. The pool table was $1/per game. When they do darts tournaments, the pool table is off limits because there's not enough space for people to play darts. Customer age range looks 30+. I had a great relaxing time here drinking an old fashion and play pool with my friends. Street parking is super easy to find read more

The Four Deuces - a pool table with balls on it - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

Awesome service, neighborhood friendly place to watch the game. Really nice bartender, Betty there made my NY Eve super lovely as well. I went in the first time, forgot my phone, came back and immediately greeted by Betty. She made an awesome cosmo drink perfect for pictures. Pink is my favorite color as I am aka babysoftpink for my online broadcast. Clean no stickiness on table. Easygoing , nice crowd there. I sat on the side to post for my pictures and felt totally comfortable, everyone was having lots of fun to prep for the new year so if you need some family vibe of happiness, this is the spot. I saw the pool table and there were pathway to the backyard for smokes, dog runaround and business etc. Not your typical Irish pub is also situated to a certain four-stars seafood restaurant if you are hungry before or after! My UberEats super store for dim sum is also nearby. Plenty of street parking outside. I saw two both times I stopped by this afternoon. I recommend giving them a try if you like mellow, parkside vibe, neighbors friendly pub. Betty knows how to entertain and uplifts the crowd too if you need some positivity! read more

The Four Deuces - Chief - buffalo Bob! 805 draft - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

The best damn bar in SF. And the fresh whipped cream on Irish coffees is divine! I highly recommend hitting this place before dumpling house up the street. Just a good ol no frills bar that has a smoking area out back. read more

The Four Deuces - Me. Extremely drunk. - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

One thing about me is that I love to make the most complicated drink orders but that means nothing to these fine bartenders. Every time I've been here the staff is super nice and professional and makes whatever drink I want exactly how I want it they make a point to remember me and my dogs. Tonight I ordered a margarita but in a specific way (you know how there are a million ways to make a margarita), but it turns out my margarita choice was already one of their cocktail specials... so that worked out. I particularly liked the glassware, made it feel special. read more

The Four Deuces - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

A timeless class. Not only did I frequent this place a lot in my college years but also used it as a place to get my friends and family together to celebrate my graduation in 2011. Over 10 years later and I still find myself coming back. A neighborhood bar with friendly staff, cheap drinks, a pool table, and darts? Uh.. YES. Can't forget to mention that this bar has a bunch of delicious food spots in the area so you can always go out for a drink then have a late dinner or vice versa. read more

Great dive bar in San Francisco, good for sports. They have darts and a pool table. Staff is cool. Would come back again.

The Four Deuces is a very chill bar to spend a quiet night at. If you want to avoid obnoxious college students or drunkards then you'll find yourself quite at home here. Grab a cheap beer, find a seat, and chat the night away with some friends. If you aren't feeling chatty, you can also play darts or pool towards the back. There's not much else to be said, you're here for a relaxed time rather than a blackout kind of night. read more

This place has done a total 180! The staff (give it up for an all female bartending team) are amazing and run the place like a top. Strong drinks, great local liquor selection, and always a fun vibe. Big bar for pool and darts and many fun regulars. They have food for some holidays (St. Patty's, Cinco de Mayo, etc) They even have an outdoor patio that's dog friendly before 8pm. This is our favorite spot! read more

The Four Deuces - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

EXTREMELY UNFRIENDLY AND UNWELCOMING! I walked in on a Tuesday night, texting my partner about how wonderful it was to find a spot that has pool and darts to hang out at while we worked on laundry nearby-- only to be harrassed by the bartender and another staff member about how I'm not allowed in the space because I'm underage WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING MY ID AND VERIFYING THAT I WAS OF AGE!!!! Both made a spectacle of pointing out that I was not welcome there. Very disappointed and absolutely will not be recommending or visiting again. read more

Came here with the co-workers to watch the Monday Night Football game and the Star Wars trailer!!! Good night out for sure. Started out with brews and eventually turned to the mixed drinks later in the night. I like the beers on tap here. Good selections to choose from as well. I had considered getting the PBR that was on tap because they had the happy hour deals going but I moved on from it. I found the outside seating to be nice. It is fairly small but there is enough room to function. The sunset really made the time in the patio well worth the it. The place didn't get too busy which made for ample room to walk around and feel free. There were also hotdogs!!! They were a nice touch to this place especially after having my brews!!!! No one went over to the jukebox to turn on tunes but it was cool though. A few folks played at the pool table while some of the others played darts. Also, the have a charging station for you cellphone!! Yes, that is what I am talking about!! That is much appreciated. The evening was just a success. I will be back to get that Long Island Ice Tea that I wanted to order but never got around to doing!!! #deucesfolks read more

I wish I could give zero stars! They charged my card for one drink and I left and then they charged it again two hours later when I wasn't even there. A $50 charge...I only caught it because I checked my credit card statement. Sketchy as hell! read more

Costello's is a great bar, and so close to home. Apparently they have DJs, karaoke, and other similar offerings, but I usually just end up stopping by for a pint on the way home, avoiding the late night crowds. As an after work bar, it can't be beat. The clientele is primarily Irish - and I mean, guys from Ireland with heavy accents Irish. Everyone seems to know each other, and the bartenders are very personable. Drinks are cheap - a Bushmills, a Jameson, and 2 pints of Guinness will set you back about $18. Sports on the TVs, with Giants games always playing, and the ponies running. The food is decent, too. Minus one star for a skylight -- when I'm drinking mid day, I don't always want to remember the time. But + 4 stars for the overall ambiance, which feels much more like a European pub than a typical low priced dive bar. Great place, go there often! read more

Four Deuces is a clean, cavernous bar space, having also a back patio, pool tables, many flatscreens. pour: gin tonic(4) -heavy pour, loved it for a lunch drink. 10ish micros also available, avoiding for health reasons. on draught: -slight sports bar feel with sport team signs all over -black & white retro pics of sutro and the beach-interesting. -3.5 stars for being open early in the afternoon. read more

At first I was a little confused how Costello's could have a 4.5 star average and Shannon Arms only 3.5...after all, Costello's is even more intimidatingly Irish than SA. I mean, I felt like I was crashing a private party here. Not that I got any surly looks; the Costello's crowd is at least a little more genteel than the movers-&-plumbers types at SA. But at least SA has the occasional SF State student to make you stick out a little less...wait a minute, that's it! That's why the ratings are lower there, because all the SF State students wander in and get scared away. Costello's is out where no one will ever just stumble across it. It's funny, though: one thing I love about SF is very little of it feels exclusionary. But possibly the toughest nut to crack for me has been these Irish pubs. And the irony is I'm Irish! I mean, I've actually stood in Greyabbey at the grave of my Great^N Grandfather, born 1722. I'm always tempted to play the Irish card in these situations, but they'd probably pry out the fact that we're actually Ulster Scots, and I'm not sure how well that would go over. Oh well. Maybe the karaoke or quiz night would give me an in. In the meantime, I'll head back up Taraval to the true bar of my people: Dragon Lounge. read more

The Four Deuces - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

We walked in on a lazy Saturday afternoon and the bar was filled. The mood is super casual. Love the bison decor behind the bar. The bartender was friendly and super quick. The beers on draft were pretty basic but good enough selection. Overall this is a great neighborhood spot and a good place to catch the game. Extra points for the patio out back! read more

The Four Deuces - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm updating my review because the only reason I hadn't given it five stars in the past is because of the college crowed that hangs out here . However, everything they do is real cool. And their bartenders are always sweet, and the booze is always good at a good price. So they do everything real well. And their patrons are not something they can control. And college girls are nice to look at . So five stars read more

tl;dr if you're looking for a neighborhood dive bar that's reasonably priced, this is PERFECT for you! I'm going to be honest though, I'm not really a fan of places that are really only for going and partying. I really only go to Four Deuces on the rare occasion that I want to get wasted and not think about it (and because my SO usually wants to go), which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. But when I'm in the mood to do that, this is a great place. And if you're a dive bar kind of person, this is sure to be a 5 star place for you. The service is great, and the music is pretty good (alcohol may have influenced the music part) but there's a jukebox that's pretty modern and you can pick songs for a reasonable price. They also have darts and pool, so if you like to play either of those, you can! The cocktail menu is also pretty good. My personal favorite is the cucumber refresher if I'm not feeling bourbon. The cocktails are also SUPER reasonable, especially for SF. If I can remember, they're like $9-$10. Also, the bathrooms are usually really clean and you definitely don't feel gross about using them. They don't have food, but they do have chips for purchase if you have a bit of the drunchies. So yeah, if you're wanting to go party with your friends but you don't want to go to a club and you like divey but not gross, Four Deuces won't disappoint you. read more

Drinks are strong, lots of darts, New Security looking like E40, lol. Can't complain. Their music is pretty good too. Ranged from chill RnB, old school hip hop, to some 80s funk. Can't complain read more

I love this place. Recently, my fiancé and I have found ourselves here just about every weekend for the past month, because we live relatively close. It's lovely to sit outside on a sunny Saturday and sip on one of their delicious cocktails and the staff are great. Also a favorite for a nice Friday or Saturday night with your friends, as it is never too packed but also not awkwardly quiet! It's also a ton of fun to watch the lads play darts! Also, they put out an awesome spread for this last super bowl and didn't charge a cover OR harass the patrons to buy drinks! One of the last remaining bars with decent prices, great staff and friendly patrons. read more

Ahhhh...I've found it! The bar that makes anyone who is more than one generation removed from Ireland incredibly uncomfortable and those *lucky* enough to be straight from the Old Sod feel right at home! For my 100th review, I knew I wanted a place that was near and dear to my heart. This place definitely is, and to top it off, they didn't fail at getting me tipsy on a random Wednesday night (I may or may not be typing this in my hungover state). Right on! They have delicious kettle chips to munch on while you pour the Jameson down your gullet and the bartenders are all so nice. I didn't meet one person there who didn't have a brogue so thick that I could barely understand them nor did I meet anyone who was sober. I came here with my family who literally had gotten off the plane from Ireland 24 hours earlier and they felt like they were right back at home (somewhat counterproductive). Someone (ok, it was my cousin) started singing some Irish songs and everyone joined in and it felt like we were in a pub in Cork. If this place weren't a 40 min bus ride from my house, I'd be coming here every night, or at least as often as my liver would allow. Dart Night on Wednesdays and Karaoke on Sundays...because nothing starts your week off like a drunken rendition of "I Will Survive". read more

Where are all the Irish folk? Why, here of course!!!!!! I stopped here a few times when I lived a few blocks away. I went with a previous roommate because the couple that lived around the corner from us, their niece and niece's friend were house-sitting from Ireland while the couple was in Ireland. Got that?? They suggested we pop on over as they were doing some type of dinner here at the pub, so we decided "What the hell, let's go hang with the Irish folk!" We came with the idea that we'd hang out for a little bit, but when we arrived, it was freakin' Thanksgiving Irish style! Ok, not really, but they were doing some crazy ass bbq fest and they were like "Here, have foooooooooood!!!!!" So we sat and had us some food. Turns out the same night was quiz night. Woot!! So we stayed for a few rounds which was fun. We had a bit of an advantage being the Americans when it came to cultural questions, but it was so fun. The regulars were welcoming and super nice. The drinks were flowin' and it was a great way to spend an evening just chillin' and answering fun questions. Want a taste of the Irish? Head on over here. If you have a bit too much to drink, the L-Taraval stops just outside so no excuse for drinking and driving!!! read more

They've recently made a lot of improvements to this bar and the result is great. It's gotten a complete makeover and is so much cleaner, nicer, and more modern. It's a very spacious bar so it always had the potential to be as nice as it is now. Lots of nice flatscreens and a virtual jukebox. They have darts and they've added a pool table now too. There's a patio area in the back for smokers. It used to be cash only and now they take cards, so it's much more convenient. The vibe is also different, in a good way. The crowd is younger, new bartenders are very pleasant and friendly. One bartender Amanda always goes totally above and beyond to make you feel welcome. They make good drinks and are always attentive. I used to come here when it was an Irish dive because it's convenient in my neighborhood; now I come here because I actually like the place. The new Deuces is a great place for a night out! read more

Every time I go across the park I end up at the Dueces. Every time I go to the Dueces I have a hard time getting back across the park....Thanks Annette! I Love this place for being legit! read more

Great bar to hang out on a nice day in SF. Bar has a pool table, darts, jukebox and great patio for the sunny days! Betty is my favorite bartender mixing up my favorite Cocktails. She makes the best Bloody Mary! Trust me you won't be disappointed. She's an SF native and has worked all around SF and the former 3300 Club before it sadly burned down. The energy is a good mix of old and young. I spent my birthday here with a friend and played some tunes on the jukebox and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend this bar to anyone looking for a drama free good time. See you soon! read more

I think my friend sums this place up nicely: "A good bar to watch sports, but they're isn't ever any tail." He's right. The few times I've gone, I've been one of about three girls in the place, including one who works there. Not that I'm complaining or anything. read more

Sunset's Irish pubs are definitely worth checking out, and Costello's is my favorite of the lot. They're a remnant of the days when the neighborhood was predominantly Irish, and even though that's no longer the case the clientele seems to hail mostly from Eire. It's a great place to soak up some of the neighborhood's culture and maybe make an interesting friend or two. They're a good place to watch NFL games at, as they frequently give out free food to their patrons during games. I watched some college ball there, which they don't make as big of a deal about, but they were accommodating. It's worth mentioning that the owner and a lot of the employees there are incredibly friendly. I actually came in one morning while my clothes were in the laundry to kill some time and the owner was opening. I was unemployed at the time, having moved to Cali not long before, and the owner gave me a free Guinness to welcome me to the neighborhood and even offered to help me find a job. Really great people at Costello's. read more

Good Hearty Cheap Drinks. Jose Karaoke Guru on Sunday's. Dancing and singing to the hits, Irish Style. That's what you get when you hit up the 4 Deuces. I found this place thanks to my 1st cousin's obsession with Karaoke. She follows the DJ's all over the Sunset and Richmond. I like to support our neighborhoods. Taraval Street is one of my haunts. This is a spacious old Irish school bar. The Sunset is notorius for it's Irish. Fahey's up the street on Taraval for instance. Neighborhood stalwarts. Shout out to all my crew on Taraval St! and the Sunset Viking Crew! Infodiva is here reppin for the 415. West of Twin Peaks. You better recognize. I've got the 411. read more

The Four Deuces - A perfect martini - Pubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

I literally live right across the street from this bar. And have for a couple years now. I love being able to go out on the roof and listen to the excellent Irish crooning on karaoke night. Or the delight that is live band night!!! I would love any bay that was across the street from my house. It makes stumbling home quite convenient. Oh and they have STRONGBOW on tap. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I WANT TO BATHE IN IT! read more

Oooooh Girls. Feeling daring? You better be. Do not, I repeat DO NOT come here without a wingwoman. This can be a scary place...mostly men, 90% Irish-born, and usually drunk for days and ready for more. This is not a place I ever found a guy to date seriously, however, I did find FUN and ADVENTURE....so go for the thrills, NOT the long term relationships. ;) read more

Oh maan. I only really ever went to this place because it was like 5 feet from my apartment at the time. They have karaoke on sundays which is awesome when school is out cause then there is usually a good college crowd. If you go on an off sunday then you will have super old creepers insisting that you do a duet with them, which of course you do because who cares your'e drunk and its fun to sing. I have a special place in my heart for them, but I def won't be going out of my way to go here. If I happen to be carousing around taraval then I'll definitely pop in and say hello. Or maybe sing hello. For those of you commenting on the guy singing 500 miles, he sings it every sunday and if you dont like it then fuck you. That my friend is part of the charm of costellos, and i think you need to prepare yourself for that. read more

It has been a while since I've been to a proper dive bar. This is it. Happy hour from 4-7pm consists of $4 well drinks, $1 specialty cocktails, $2 PBR (on tap!), and $3 off selected draft beers. That's a hell of a deal for 3 hours. Altogether, for a Moscow Mule, beer, glass of wine, and two shots of Jamey, my tab came out to $24. How can you beat that? Bartenders were super nice and friendly, and big screens played the Giants (pre-season) and local basketball games. There's a pool table and what looks like beer pong tables. It's a classic dive bar with a jukebox and lots of room to lounge and dance. I'm not really sure what everyone else is expecting. read more
