Need a drink?!? Close by Golden Gate Park? Then hop skip and/or jump over to this friendly pub! The bartenders are super nice and even when it gets busy they try to get to you ASAP. They have a few TVs around the bar and will put any game on that they can when asked. Why do I like this bar?!? Frankly because they have several IPAs on tap. Not that this is an uncommon thing but in that particular area they are the only one serving something other than Lagunitas IPA on draft. (I love me some Lagunitas but every once in a while you gotta put some variety in your life!) Ive been here a few times and the place is always the same...a blasty blast! There is an enclosed smoking area in the back behind a pool tables and a pinball machine. (FYI, last time the pinball machine stopped working mid-game.) Overall a great spot for hanging out with friends to grab a drink if you happen to be in the Inner Sunset! #GoogleCityExpert #SFCityExpert

I actually like this bar, the pool is fun and beer selection is good. This is the first bad review Ive left for service since Ive been leaving reviews. The bartenders make me never want to come to this place again. Im not sure how they got this Gods gift to earth mentality, but this is not an isolated incident. They are extremely rude, take your beers away before you are finished, and then when you acknowledge that they took it, they turn into 12 year olds playing the "Nuh uhhhh" game.. If you want people to return to your bars, stop hiring people who treat your locals like garbage.

Ive gone here for Karaoke and for the Quiz Night. Guess what, both are great! I recommend trying some of the different beers they have on tap. I wish thered be more of a English Football base ( or soccer base ) to watch games here. I like the stretch of the place and its easy to talk to people, just like the Beauty Bar ( minus the bridge and tunnel trash ). Till next time, Blackthorn!

I go there mostly on Mondays for Trivia nights and the bar is always packed, which is great! The guy organizing the Trivia is awesome and the atmosphere is always really joyfull. They know how to pour a Guinness, they have a great selection of bear and always sports on TV. What more would you ask more of an Irish pub? Oh you can enter the bar under 21!

Walked in one day at noon and said "Oh yeah this is a great pub" A diverse crowd in everyway, friendly, speedy bartenders even on the St Paddys night. Lots of places to sit and chill. No food but the live music, the DJs and events make up for it. Right near the Muni for a stress free ride home.

Great neighborhood staple sports bar with lots of screens and NFL Sunday Ticket. They serve quite a few beers on draft here at around $5-6 and have a variety of Guinness mixed beers as well. Theres a variety of booth, bar, and patio seating available for your different moods.

Yummy cocktails, cheap and accessible pool, and good beer options. Also an awesome back patio where you can smoke. High-energy atmosphere with fun music. Leanne was our server and she was so attentive and really nice. We will definitely be returning!

Irish bar with many large flat screens showing sports. Very popular neighborhood tavern with a great staff. Beer is always served at the right temperature and always new beers on rotation. Best bar in the Inner Sunset.

Salty bartender wanted to close early because it wasnt packed. Made me rush my game of pool and turned off the music at 1:15am.. even after I left a tip. Too many good bars nearby to bother with this mediocrity.

Went there in a manual wheelchair for Karoike last tuesday was told to move because a Speaker was going where I was sitting. Its the kind of thing that COULD be a fight but I had little interest in being there.

Very bad service. The outside patio is the saving grace for this place, as long as theres no drunk people trying to do skate tricks (yes, that happens, and the staff participates).

Tons of screens showing multiple games. Decent priced beers and a good selection on tap (had my 2 favs: Lagunitas IPA and Blue Moon). Packed house for the Niners game.

Solid bar with copious amounts of TVs for Bay Area Sports, and a couple pool tables. There is a decent selection of beers and the patio outside is quite lovely.

non pretentious bar with some great barkeeps. Honorable bartenders that dont hide behind the insecurity of "mixology". A great place to go any night.

A good spot with great beer selection and bartenders. My only beef? It gets loud. Some folks love the vibe, I prefer a quiet place to chat.

Pool / back patio for smoking. Met a man who had "With Guts" tattooed on his belly. I dont think hes a regular, thank god. Mixed crowd.

My go-to bar in the Inner Sunset. Their trivia on Mondays seems intimidating with 8 rounds, but goes quickly and is done pretty well.
