    Blackthorn bar is not here now...it was renovated and renamed...near 9th and Irving...I used the AMI jukebox and played billiards $2...fun to poke around...big bar space with a back patio...Irish bar theme...trivia and bingo...music...not really preserved...

    The Temple Bar place is so cozy and comfortable. The espresso martini is the best in town (real espresso). All the bartenders are really warm and friendly, I have had Megan and Thomas serve mostly. The music is either jukebox or live... The Gas Men play the last Saturday of the month, I think, once a month anyway. They are fun, lively and really add to the charming atmosphere. I have not tried bingo or trivia nights yet but looking forward to it. The customers here are nice aswell. Great location in the Inner Sunset, close to Muni and Golden Gate Park.

    Feels like a cleaned out Blackthorn. Don't see much resemblance to the original Temple Bar in Dublin. Bartenders are super friendly.

    I used to love this neighborhood bar, especially when it was the Blackthorn. But, it's no longer a safe place.

    Great place to visit while in SF as the interior immediately stands out with its classic Irish pub…read moreatmosphere, historic charm, and elegant old-world details. The high decorative ceilings, stained glass accents, dark wood finishes, vintage-style lighting, and unique artwork throughout the restaurant give the place a warm and authentic feel. It feels like stepping into a historic Irish gathering spot right in the middle of San Francisco. The inside has plenty of character, with cozy booths, classic pub seating, and a spacious layout that somehow still feels intimate and welcoming. The décor and atmosphere alone make this place worth visiting, whether you're there for drinks, dinner, or simply to take in the ambiance. The food definitely lived up to the setting. I ordered the beer-battered fish and chips, and they were excellent. The fish was flaky and fresh with a crispy, golden batter that had great flavor without feeling too greasy or heavy. The fries paired well with the dish, and the tartar sauce added a nice finishing touch. I also tried the loaded potato skins, which were packed with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions--flavorful and a great appetizer to share. Service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out hot and fresh. Between the quality food, generous portions, and one of the most unique interiors I've seen in San Francisco, Johnny Foley's Irish House is absolutely worth stopping by. A great combination of atmosphere, comfort food, and classic Irish pub charm.

Good Irish music on in the bar to listen to. $10 for a pint of beer...I get it...it's downtown San Francisco. But does not look like I'm gonna have many pints there in the future.

We started off with drinks, shots, Irish coffee, happy drink and other suggestion by our friendly server, all were good. We had the sampler appetizer platter, wings, Veggies,potato skins, onion rings, cheese quesadilla and the best sausage rolls I've had in a while. We ordered entrees to share, we had the Cobb salad, fish &chips and bangers & mash, WOW, JUST WOW. We ended with the lemon tart, it made my mouth pucker is a good way. The Irish was so tasty we look home a loaf. So glad my sister found it and suggested we come, we will definitely return and enjoy this establishment for years to come. the service was top notch, all the servers were excellent, friendly and we received the best service. I am sorry we didn't get too many pics, these were just 2 of the many things we had. We recommend you come and enjoy this p,ace, you'll be happy you did.

I only had the fries, but they were fire--definitely a good sign for the rest of the menu. They also nailed the Guinness pour--clean lines, creamy, and really good. I'll definitely be back to try more of the food.
