By the time we arrived the party was in full swing. The event was part of the Dreamforce Convention…read morefestivities. There was outside seating and the crowd spilled into the sidewalk. The music was cranking and everyone was smiling with high energy vibes. The city was alive and it was great to see and be a part of it. I didn't see any food. And that was ok because we stuffed ourselves prior to going. A pink neon Good Times sign adorned the wall along with a collection of cassette tapes which I thought was pretty cool. The service was good with the exception of a bait and switch pulled. We RSVP'd and the reservation said lite bites and beverages would be provided. The food was gone and that was to be expected. But they left the complimentary cocktails menu on the bar. We ordered them and were told they were no longer free. A little shady. We paid and kept the party going.

Came here for a work happy hour. There were two bartenders working. One was really social and kind…read morewith great customer service, but the other bartender, Lamore, had a bad attitude the second we walked in. Initially, I thought he might just be introverted, but as the night went on, it became very clear it was just a bad attitude. We ended up ordering 2 Pacificos, 2 Modelos, 2 Red Bull vodkas, and 2 shots. As the drinks started coming out, I realized I only received 1 of the 2 beers I ordered. Normally this is no issue, especially since we had multiple large tabs all night. When I asked about being shorted a beer, he responded, "I do not know what happened someone must have took it and that is not my problem, I am going to charge an extra beer." I replied, "I know what I was served please check your cameras." He continued to be combative, charged more to the tab, and walked away with a terrible attitude. I know people have bad days and I will always give grace, but ignoring what I am saying and completely not caring is absolutely wild over a single beer LOL. I know people have bad days and I will always give grace, but completely ignoring a customer and being dismissive over a mistake is really disappointing. Customer service and hospitality naturally require a friendly, approachable attitude, and that energy was definitely missing here.

The staff is always friendly, personal and vibe and filled with laughter. Kobe and Arthur are both sweethearts who know my order by heart and appreciate the regulars and treat them kindly. Speaking of the drinks, I do think the liquor selection is A+. I've tried new things here as well as had my regular brew. Definitely would recommend! Especially on a sunny day.

The decor and motif is somewhere between late 1800s Victorian and early 1900s with touch of Steampunk. Love it! The lone bartender gentleman made a tasty lavender cocktail...not much in terms of personality though on a quiet Sunday. Most importantly...the Devil's Acre has the best restroom/water closet in all of North Beach! It was a big, clean, modern space...I honestly felt comfortable doing a full number two/deux/dos/yee/zwei/due/duas/ bio movement.

Wandered in here after work with friends after we tried to go to Per Diem for dinner but they were booked out for a private event. They told us to go to Sutter Station Tavern, where we'd be able to order food to be brought over from Per Diem. All the food we ordered was great, but the real standout was our bartender. She recognized that the brussels sprouts we ordered were missing the balsamic vinaigrette and gave us some from her own stash - it made all the difference! She also very kindly refilled my friend's beer after she spilled some of it. Nicer, old-school bar style, plenty of seating. Overall, great experience all around!

The place to go when you want a good cocktail and feel better understood than your daily horoscope…read more I honestly don't even know how to describe 83 Proof other than you just HAVE to experience it for yourself. My friends stumbled upon this place and loved it so much that they dragged me out of bed to come the following night. They ended up going two nights in a row that weekend. After experiencing it myself, I completely understand why. I'm someone who gravitates toward fruity, refreshing cocktails with interesting flavors, fresh ingredients, and a little creativity. The bartenders here GET IT. I didn't even realize this was known as a whiskey bar because I was so impressed with every drink they made me. The best part is that you don't even need to know what you want. Give the bartenders a few key words of what you're in the mood for, and somehow they'll look at you, work their magic, and come back with a phenomenal cocktail that hits the mark every single time. The bartenders are incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to talk to. Some of their creations pushed me outside my comfort zone, but every drink was a hit. I love being able to hand over the reins and just see what they'll come up with next. The drinks are so smooth and easy to enjoy that ordering another one feels dangerously easy LOL. It's honestly so fun not knowing exactly what you're going to get, especially when the bartenders are this good at understanding your preferences. With a wall full of bottles and so much creativity behind the bar, there's bound to be something you'll love. Unfortunately there's no food served so come ready to drink. It's also just a great place to hang out with friends, catch up, and enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed. Seems like there's a lot of regulars that come. The whole experience feels personal rather than just going somewhere to order a cocktail. And the best part? THE PRICES. In an era where cocktails can easily cost 20 bucks a pop, you'll be pleasantly surprised when the check comes. Great drinks, amazing bartenders, and prices that actually make you want to come back? Say less.

This place has been one of my after work/happy hour staples for nearly 20 years. Many memories…read morewere made (and at the same time lost) at this establishment. From the gigantic whiskey selection, to the extremely high ceilings and dimly lit dark decor, the vibe is classy yet accessible to non-connoisseurs. What makes this place awesome is that you get the feeling of sophistication without the pretense of needing to belong. The service is awesome, and the bar staff is patient with folks that are new to the whiskey 'scene'. 83 proof is an awesome little bar that's situated perfectly among the sea of start-ups (and tech giants) in SOMA. Come check it out!!!

Not a diverse place. Not solo women friendly. For a second time, (before w songs my friend justin…read moreplayed), these people that work here freaked out bc i played the wrong songs on their UNLIMITED INTERNET JUKEBOX. I chose not to play steely dan, bc i knew that might bother this crew; wasnt good enough. If I didn't put on the jukebox, I knew I would hear rap music where they use the N-word and the B word and when I told him I didn't like songs with that music he was implying i was a bigot bc i told him the words i hate hearing. I'm here now at Casanova there's tons of all kinds of races here and they're playing Steely Dan And all kinds of other music and no one's freaking out. Jesus christ. I notice lots fake nails at nortons so im sorry for bothering your bartender bc he really really really really hated my misic and i ruined his life it sounded like so i apologize. Not diverse enough. I won't come there anymore. Sorry you don't have to worry anymore.

Dive-ish, lively and enjoyable, a veritable Tenderloin institution in SF…read more Look for the bright neon entrance on Larkin Street as you walk from City Hall or the UN Plaza after a rally or festival. Feels tight when you first walk in, but there are several spaces, as if the place evolved room by room into the building it lives. Great mix of people creates a unique experience every visit. Reasonable prices and Pliny on tap! A pool table and shuffleboard toward the back and a great patio for 'fresh' air, smoking and dogs, and a wall-sized Emperor Norton mural. If you have a chance, walk around and admire the memorabilia from the self-declared "Norton I., Emperor of these United States." Efficient bartenders and service staff, I could see they were friendly with locals and loyals, but too loud and busy to stop and chat with newbies. A unique destination to fill out, or start, your SF pub and bar bucket list.

I think it may have been the old style, blinking, neon cocktail glass sign, which we all loved! Rena (spelling?) the bartender made everyone feel welcome and she was a genuine host for us strangers to the bar, indeed to the neighborhood. We noticed her style with everyone, not just us. I've gone to a lot of this type of bar - the so-called dive bar. I don't refer to them as dive bars, just cozy, unpretentious places where no one has their noses up in the air. I've met a lot of bartenders working in these types of bars, and I have to say Rena is the best I've ever had the satisfaction of talking to and ordering a drink from. Keep on doin' what you're doin' Rena and the Ha-Ra Club!
