Left board at Yancy's. Playable!
Charlie V.

Pros: The bartender was really cool and personable. The space is huge and has the atmosphere of a speakeasy. It's in what appears to be a relatively safe neighborhood and there are other bars close by if bar hopping is on your agenda. They do have a variety of beer and I think most people can find something they like. Cons: People mention darts in a lot of reviews. As a league player from another state, when I travel I want to find a place to sling the ole arrows and this place is kind of a consolation prize in that regard. The right board was demolished and not usable as a regulation board. The middle board was off center and not movable. The board on the left was the closest thing to regulation but all in all, these boards need to be replaced. It costs $35 for a basic Unicorn board and $60-$100 for higher priced Unicorn or Winmau boards. And they last a LONG time if you don't leave darts sticking in them for days at a time (and rotate them). Lastly, for me, IPA selection is important and they only had one decent one from what I could tell. See if you can get some Pliny, Elysian Space Dust or even some Stone/Ballast Point IPA's... So yeah, darts doesn't factor in for most people, but it did for me, as did the paltry IPA selection.

Yancy's is opened again! -$1 off drinks before 7pm. Bartender(s) are super cool and know their drinks. We used to come here about once a month back in the early 2000's. Not much as changed. Yancy's is still a great place to grab a drink with friendly staff and clientele.

Great place for a casual beer. Fairly quiet and peaceful. Pretty good selection of beers on tap- about 15. Several TVs and a huge screen in the back that centers over a huge table. It's a great area to catch a game with friends and they even let you bring in your own food (since they don't serve their own- only downside). There are 3 dart boards in the back corner and lot of beautiful glassware light fixtures hanging from the ceiling which top off a nicely presented bar.

The bartender engaged in fun banter and he had a good diverse playlist. There are 3 TVs playing football with 4Niner fans cheering and repping the bay! Too bad they lost to the Seahawks! We then proceeded down to the other fun spots!

Buddha Lounge is a hidden bar nestled on the corner of San Francisco's Chinatown. It's right across…read morethe street from Li Po Cocktail Lounge which is a bar that people will usually hit up together because they're so close. They both also serve "Chinese mai tais" which is a mai tai with rums and some baijiu (Chinese liquor). I ordered the Chinese mai tai here after just having had one at Li Po. While the one at Li Po was on the sweeter side, the one here was a lot stronger. I watched the bartender as he made the drink and I could tell the percentage of alcohol in the glass was way higher. I knew it would be potent and it definitely tasted so. This bar serves "Lucky Buddha" which is essentially beer in a unique Buddha bottle. When we came here on a Saturday night the music was playing loudly and it had more of a loungey and clubby vibe compared to Li Po. It had a more modern interior and had bar counter space where people congregated. If you're looking for a lively vibe with a cool history this is a great spot to go.
