Ask about the bulletholes in the bar ! Those are the only shots you'll find here though! They only serve beer and ciders !

CITY GRIT

Like a library for beer nerds. History buffs will love it to, as it’s got a great story dating back to 1868. You’ll go for a beer after work but stay all night.

Jamie

rock solid selection of specialty beers & pinball . odds you'll see the tamale lady: high. jukebox : great. staff : hearts. pool tables : 1. (and don't forget to check in at the bench outside ...)

Eugene Kim

Great beer bar with pool tables (which aren't hard to get on weekdays). Especially good for sours - they usually have multiple Almanacs and other types on tap .

jenny rock

Beer and wine cash only bar with s good rotation of taps. A little IPA heavy lately (who isn't?) but you can get some decent Belgian bottles.

Raj S.

Pool table in the back and a great spot to grab a drink. It is usually less crowded then other spots like Trick Dog and good for large groups.

Kyle Minor

The perfect neighborhood local, Shotwell's is aboutthe closest thing to a real British pub we may have in SF. Drink beer here: their selections are impeccable, the wines are few, the sangria is just O Read more

WhiskyAvenger

Fantastic beer selection but hard to enjoy with the often vapid crowds that come in.

Chris Golden

Cash only but can't go wrong with beer selection and the atmosphere. Have problems? Leave them at the door. Not at Shotwell's. Life's good here

Tanya Menendez

Great bar . Dog friendly . Pool. Wine and beer only.

Kurt Nelson

Solid beer list , plenty of regulars, and now one of the plantyist parklets in the city .

Christian Baker

An old beer bar with history and character. Cash only and no crap on tap , so come in expecting to spend a bit more than usual.

Anton Shuster

Second oldest bar in the city . Dog friendly . They have treats for the doggies. Floors are concrete, so easy to clean if dog makes a mess.

Very nice chill bar . The bartenders are extremely friendly and knowledgable .

Chris

Medieval Madness and Attack From Mars pinball . Also a jukebox , pool, and local beer on tap .

Ben Russo

Great beer selection and bartender . Make sure you're not entering on an obnoxious trivia night , unless that's your thing.

G. Sax

Pinball ! Medieval Madness. Forgiving. You'll get your money's worth.

Pancrazio

The most local beer you can get is of course Anchor Steam , brewed a few blocks from here! Cheers!

John Doherty

Love this bar . It reminds me of the Brooklyn Inn in Boerum Hill , Brooklyn, which is my favorite bar .

Brian L

Nice local craft beer selection , fancier than a dive, friendlier than an overcrowded trendy spot.

Felix Sargent

David and John are amazing. Betters are fantastic. You can't go wrong with anything here.

Eric Gelinas

This place has the worlds finest pool table . Or at least The Missions. Great beer too. Bring cash

Awesome craft beer selection that changes often. Causal and filled with friendly people.

as of 7/26/12 they still have anchor's "our barrel ale " on tap . if you like barrel-aged it's the best $12 you'll ever spend.

Love the jukebox . $5 for 10 songs, takes credit card . Choose wisely.

Tim Harrison

Great beer selection and some of the nicest bartenders in the city .

Xtel van der Boom

A great place to have an Anchor Steam . They have multiple on tap and always get the special brews first.

Angie H

A surprisingly chill bar that's not too far from all the hype on Valencia.

Caroline

Many types of beer , pinball in the back, and the occasional visit from the Tamale Lady makes this one hell of a place!

Mike O'Sullivan

Pretty bro-tastic. Lots of cargo shorts , high fives, and polo shirts .

Pei ???? Wen

Cash only . Awesome craft beer selection !
