Perfect place to go after you've been drinking...food fit for a 5 year old child, which is perfect, imo! Good vibes and cheap . Def going back next time I visit SF.

Christian Baker

Trailer park themed bar with fun cocktails and snacks and absolutely zero pretension. Come here after a show at DNA Lounge .

Chris

Met some interesting people here and got some Jell-O shots and free popcorn one night. They were streaming accident videos of people doing stunt videos.

MyCityWay

Butter is perfect for SF residents and visitors alike with its unconventional theme, strong drinks and quite large microwavable food menu. It is always an experience.

RN M

The 32 oz Miller High Life drinks are what this place is about. Come on Sunday night for karaoke . Friday and Saturday are amazing. DFMO central.

Dave

Avoid the drink they make that has Dr Pepper (??) in it. This is a fun place to have a couple beers .

Art Garcia

Cool drive bar , decent drinks and a DJ with good music keeping the party going

Elizabeth Burstein

Amazing dive bar in SF - order the jello shots , fried twinkies, tater tots , and popcorn !

Lauren Colman

Great spot for thirty-somethings who want to listen to the songs they grew up with. The later it gets the sloppier it gets.

High Definition

Sunday Karaoke night is always awesome! Be prepared for the most variety karaoke song requests, which is great because you can sing almost any song you want.

Donia

The bar may be a stereotype but, the clientele isn't. What a mix of people. The MashUp (usually Thursday) DJ is the shit. Best bar concept ever. Embrace the Butter!

squeasel

Kind of great white trash . The snacks in the old rv are ridiculous. A place where it seems perfectly de rigeur to hold a friend's hair while she vomits in the bathroom .

Rajkamal Sandhu®

Oh man...this bar is kinda bar ... I came here for the 80's and 90's music theme and it had my jam !!! From the outside, it doesn't look much and the neighborhood itself looks pretty sketchy ...

BarChick

If you liked those 80′s white trash films , full of Jello shots , tater tots , bad tattoos and worse hair then you will love this place! http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/san-francisco/butter

Brodie Olmstead

The drinks are subpar and they usually have a cover on the weekends. Good for "white trash " food like mini corn dogs and tater tots .

SEGA

Hilarious and fun. Get a Tiki Trash (Hawaiian Punch & coconut rum ) and an order of jalapeno poppers . Dance the night away. - Kellie, Community Manager

Kim Owens

A great dance spot that's been around for almost 20 years. Again, so happy to see it's still rockin'.

Scott Mullins

Atmosphere is fun and the TV content is interesting.

_

Friendly staff and cheap Jell-O shots! The cheap pre-game before bootie!

Shannon Coulson

This place is so kitschy and weird, but it's totally awesome!

Ryan Abuyen

Crowds are rough but if you meet them on there level then all is dandy. Cool workers if you are nice to them!

Info Watch

Unsafe!!! Owner talks to trans patrons like this with threats and verbal abuse.

JT

Crowded and lively and divey. No space to dance but good atmosphere

Chris ???? Makarsky

good place to escape to for a final drink when you get tired of bootie across the street

Bachelor10

If tater tots aren’t your thing (you must be crazy), check Chairman Bao’s Twitter feed before going; if you’re lucky they’ll be parked nearby. Read more

Elizabeth Burstein

Fun sf dive, good for groups

Robin Tilotta

Send your friends one of their signature XL drinks or a Deep Fried Twinkie using Bartab

Garrett Beaty

Get the Cherry Bomb . Also don't miss the fried food served from the kitchen trailer.

Stefan

Deep fried Twinkie comes loaded with whipped cream and marshmallows .

Sarah

The theme is trailers...so it's pretty chill if you're into that sort of thing.

Trella Rath

Karaoke every Sunday night at 9pm!

Karen Hartline

Want to rock? Come to Butter on Sunday nights for karaoke with @rogernine . Go epic or go home!

Justin Leu

Gotta get the Bottle Service . (Small fernet bottle and a beer )

Gabe Ortiz

For best results, try to get here when there is a bachelorette party.

Peter Kazanjy

Ask Rhino for a White Rhino. It's legit.

Chris French

Deep fried Twinkie tastes like French Toast . Garnished with mini marshmellows , strawberry sauce & sprinkles , this dish begs for a double Goose & Soda to wash it down.

Husain Kurwa

Any bar that sells 40's is good in my book . This place also has great mixed drinks and a weird white trash sheek vibe to it.
