Found on the top of our list of best dive bars in the city , 500 Club really has nothing special about it, but that is exactly what makes it so awesome. Read more

The bartenders aren't that friendly unless you're a regular, and there are usually too many TVs on. But it's a good time, the drinks are cheap , and there's a cozy area in back with a broken fireplace . Read more

If a sweet pretty girl named Jenny happens to be your bartender , then you lucked out with one of the best bartenders in SF! Tip her well , and she will make sure you are feeling really good by close!

The word eclectic barely describes the clientele – yuppies share space with bikers, alkies and hipsters – at this legendary true dive bar in the heart of the Mission.

This charmingly old-school but very brittle jukebox machine offers vinyl Jamaican reggae oldies, Zeppelin, James Brown, Thelonious Monk, the Gun Club and more. Read more

Their bloodies sub asparagus for celery , and are also garnished with lemon , lime , pickled green beans , and some wonderful salt. Read more

Apparently Sunday Night Karaoke here is great if you blow/know the karaoke DJ . Love the 500 Club but the KJ can bite me. If you tell my friend she's up in 6 songs and she's not after 12... Eat it.

Great basic neighborhood dive bar . Normally has some space most early evenings if you want to catch up with a friend.

Grab a seat in the back bar with your friends and try to "Fill The Table" with empty beer bottles before the bartender cleans them off

A great dive with friendly patrons and cheap drinks .

Awesome local bar . Has great greyhounds , and lot of TVs for football Sunday's!

For $6, this is the best value in Bloody Marys in town . And while not Zeitgeist-good, they meet my high bar for Bloodys.

Great Bloody Marys ...loved the pickled asparagus ! It's a cash only place, so hit the bank first!

Get a beer . Then go next door to Claire's and get a French dip sandwich . They deliver to the bar .

My fav dive bar in the Mission, where me and Jef had many a drink whilst watching the SF Giants. <3

Great place for laid back beers throughout the week, and meeting people from the Mission.

Cosy bar with a solid selection of draft beer .

Crab a hot toddy and a seat by the real live working fireplace to warm up your tootsies from the 60 degree sf winter.

My favorite spot when I actually want to talk to the people I'm out drinking with.

Best Margaritas and you can bring your dog!

Best photo booth on seventeenth

They now take credit cards . $20 minimum and visa and mc only.

Freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice ! For dem greyhounds . $5!

Some things never change, Morpheus. Some things do change.

One of the best dive bars in San Francisco.

Cheap drinks and round booths makes way for conversational evenings.

Cheap beer . Hipster punk crowd.

Best bar in SF?

I'm not sure why they don't chill the beer mugs, it makes the beer taste gross.
