    Friday night can be a good time to come through and have a karaoke night. The bartender are friendly and drinks are cool

    I'd been going by this place forever and finally went in. The bartender was very friendly. Played pool for free. Good time.

    BJ's is a decent place to grab food with a bunch of friends, but it has mediocre food and service…read more My friends and I come here occasionally to celebrate birthdays as they have a lot of room. We made our reservations online and had no hassle with it. Parking can get very full at peak hours, but they also have valet parking. The interior has a dim sports bar vibe, and there were a couple of TVs playing sport games. I usually get the weekend prime rib special, which is a salad/soup, two sides, prime rib and a pizzokie. It is honestly a lot of food for a fair price. Unfortunately, the food always takes a while to arrive, as service is slow. The waiters also don't come by very often, which makes it hard to get water refills or utensils. The prime rib itself is okay at best. It is definitely not bad by any means but it's also doesn't have that "wow" factor. The asparagus and grilled veggies appetizers weren't that bad, but I felt like the grilled cauliflower was undercooked. I recommend getting the pastas instead. One time I got the Chicken Alfredo, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. One of the trademarks of BJs is their "pizzokie", which is a giant cookie with ice cream on top. It is honestly quite good, as the cookies are baked perfectly and they give a lot of ice cream. It is a heavy dessert though, and I recommend having two people to finish it. Overall, BJs is an allright place if you want to get dinner with a bunch of friends without the hassle of waiting or lack of space. If you're looking for somewhere to eat for a smaller group though, I think there could be better options in the area.

The waitress came back And informed me that their machine ate my credit card. They still expected us to pay nothing, was comped from our meal!

Of course,…read morenow that the property has been sold and they're within a few weeks of closing their doors, I get off my duff with a review. Hopefully they can find a local spot but there arent many spaces for the footprint 20 tables and other games need. Our experience was pretty standard. Enjoyed shooting some pool. Caught several games - wish they could vary the screens a bit more. When its a row of 4-8 TVs and they alternate the same 2 games across them, its meh. If they would put a different event on each screen - boom! Beers were cold, wish there were more rotating handles but I also get it. Why change what works - but for me, I like variety. The bar food was pretty decent. Mixed drinkers were strong (at least according to my other half!). Pics - yup, forgot again! Next time :) We'll find them when they reopen and go experience the fun. Hope its soon!

    Kezar Pub is a solid, spacious neighborhood spot with a standard bar feel and a decent vibe. I…read morestopped in while waiting for my daughter's class at the Sharon Art Studio, specifically looking to catch the NBA playoffs. It's generally a good place to watch a game because they have several TVs, but during my visit, they were showing way too much baseball. Having multiple screens on baseball was a bit boring; they definitely need to prioritize the NBA more when the playoffs are on. The pub food is good, and I noticed that the burgers and sandwiches are surprisingly priced lower than the wings. On the recommendation of my server, I opted for the Philly Cheesesteak over the Fish & Chips. The cheesesteak was okay--not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst--and it was quite large and filling. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, though ultimately a bit mid-tier. Service can be spotty at Kezar, but it was perfectly fine during this latest visit. Overall, it's a reliable Haight-Ashbury staple if you're looking for a filling meal and a place to catch some sports, provided they have the right game on the screen.

    I went to the Kezar Pub with friends and my 12 year old son to eat some wings and watch the World…read moreCup qualifier games. When we arrived the front of the bar was packed with soccer fans. However, the game we wanted to watch was being shown in the back of the bar and they had the nerve to charge $20 a head! In order for you to go to the bathroom you will need to go through the back. When I walked to the back there were like 4-5 people tops on the benches watching the game I wanted to watch while the front bar was packed. I'm not a bar owner but wouldn't it make more sense to show all the games for free while people spent money on drinks and food through out the bar. The waitress was also not good she gave us a thumbnail size of ranch for an order of wings. She also got our drinks wrong and when you ask her for more ranch it also came with a side of attitude. Needless to say I'm never going back to the Kezar Pub I didn't like the ambiance it was small dark and cramped plus they only showed some of the games for that day and when we asked to put another game we wanted to watch on the small TV (That was free) they said that the fire stick is not working. So the Kezar Pub does NOT show all the games. I give them 2 stars for the homie that was guarding the door to the pay per view section yes, there was a security guard charging $20 to go to the other empty room and he was so sympathetic he was like yeah bro "I know it's some BS I know but u can catch the score if you like." A real one.

    I came in for a late night snack and was pleasantly surprised with how good everything was!…read more Food 5/5: I went with the ultimate sampler and it was a great deal, for $18.99 I was able to choose 4 dips and pick 4 items from a wide variety of appetizers. I went with the fried pickles, chicken dippers, pretzel knots and thai curry wings. The flavor on the thai curry wings were phenomenal, it was so saucy and flavorful, I'd definitely order this again. It was the perfect size for sharing. We also ordered a bacon patty melt and the bacon was fresh, patty was juicy and the bread was nicely toasted. The side of fry wedges were crispy and had a good seasoning. Service: 5/5: Super helpful staff and very attentive, they made sure we had all of our food and would check on us for refills and also brought over a free order of 6 birthday wings! Highly recommend signing up for BWW rewards. Ambiance 4/5: There's plenty of seating inside and there's also a patio outside for outdoor seating. It's comfortable enough my only complaint is that it's super noisy and loud but that's a given with the sports bar vibes. We we were able to use their app based jukebox to play music and that was nice!

    1-Star Review I will take this complaint to manager Daniel Anglikowski !!!…read more I have never felt so disgusted and humiliated by a takeout experience in my life. The food I received was ice cold, clearly old, and had obviously been sitting out for a long time. On top of that, it wasn't even the correct order. What made the situation even worse was the way the staff handled it. The receipt attached to the bag did not match what I ordered, yet they insisted it was mine and tried to cover it up instead of taking responsibility. It was obvious they had given me someone else's order that had been left on the counter and then tried to pass it off as freshly prepared. When I asked for a refund, they refused--despite the fact that the order was completely wrong and the food itself was unacceptable. The level of laziness and disrespect was unbelievable. This was hands-down one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had, and I won't be returning.

The fish was perfectly cooked, and the portion size felt fair for the price. The staff struck a great balance -- friendly and attentive without constantly interrupting the meal to ask if everything was okay. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. At one point, the music was slightly loud for my liking. Another guest politely mentioned it, and the staff immediately turned it down and made sure everyone was comfortable. That kind of responsiveness really stood out. What truly went above and beyond was what happened after I left. I had forgotten my hat on the seat, and instead of just putting it in lost and found, our waiter actually ran out of the restaurant and caught up with me before I crossed the street to the parking area. That level of care is rare and genuinely appreciated. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. I'd absolutely bring my family here -- kids included -- and would recommend it to anyone considering stopping by. .

    Let's just say the food is good - the service sucks- that's being nice …read more So here we go- We were seated in the corner which was actually nice away from people and it was better for us to talk. So we thought- to my left was glass and seated there was a couple- it was a little uncomfortable - they can do something about that - a little Curtain - some steamed something ? we were looking at each other and it was kinda different . Not bad - not good - just different . We waited 10 full minutes before someone came over and brought two small waters which is ok- and then left - at least he said hi. Our waitress then showed up and didn't say her name - and asked us if we were ready - and then we ordered - I was in mid sentence and looking down and then swoop - the menu was gone - I guess I didn't want to add to my order- Our food came out and the Calimari was good, a decent portion, a bit salty - but - it was good . Then came our food - I got the short ribs - I will say it was really good and the meat just shredded nicely ....it was exceptional actually. My brother got the salmon and I will say it was delicious-- both were small portions with a big price - that's Napa . I don't know how it was 140$ for dinner - for two- but it is what it is. Then we were asked for dessert - a menu came and we waited it took a while for our server to come back - and since we waited so long we were turned off to get dessert ... so we went to Annette's up the street . No worries there is always something around the corner . If you read my review.. you will see she never checked on us - she did come back to get a drink refill - and that's it.. It's the 16$ an hour plus tips I guess... bad service for she will get paid anyway- service used to be important - now it's devices- it seems like she was looking at her device the whole time - the little computer they used to order the food. Maybe that's how they run the place .. it wasn't busy- it looked steady - but not busy tonight 3/7 around 730 pm... No one came by to say hi, or to welcome us in. Maybe at the desk ,, the hostesses . Maybe.. but during our stay - no one Napa is dying - bad service and good food - it doesn't mix well and let's say there are other options- I'll be taking those options in the future - look around you may find something you like - the food is good here - yes it's - the service - stinks - It's a cute place inside - neat- clean - plenty of room- The menu printing is way too small - I had a hard time reading it - possibly size 6 lettering .. I don't know - I'm not an expert on font size - I am an expert on reading - and it was hard to do -
