This place is legit and easily in my top ten bars . Everything from the Dutch door to the backyard make this place great and I haven't even mentioned the food, beer or decor.

Cleo Young

Great brunch ! Board games to play while you eat. Chicken&waffles are small portion, I'd recommend supplementing with egg slider (also pretty small). The scrambles are amazing and a ton of food.

Sarah Greshowak

The grilled cheese and tomato soup were tasty. Great little casual bar in the area. The patio is really nice too. Tuesdays- $1 off drinks for ladies.. Happy to have this place in the neighborhood .

Jill Primost

small space inside but there's also a back patio . fried mac and cheese balls are a must, and they have a ton of fun games. great spot for a group if you can snag a table.

SFist

Blissfully mellow, with board games galore and an intimate vibe that's hard to find in the neighborhood . The best part? The oft-overlooked back patio , where beer lovers can sun on cozy picnic tables . Read more

Leah W.

Rad staff , bottomless mimosas , a stellar brunch (hello, carnitas benedictos), and the most perfectly random juke box ever. Fun board games to rent. Outside back patio seating is always fun.

Tasting Table

Grab a beer after work at this unostentatious dive with an impressive draft selection . We love the Sycamore for its neighborhood feel , its back patio and, oh yeah, its beer . Read more

Grace Yoon

Great fun lively place w/ dope vintage jukebox . A pitcher of white sangria is an excellent purchase for group of 2-3. The mural art on the exterior is fascinating, too.

Mike P

Constant rotation of taps with some classics and some relatively unknown beers at a cheap price. Games, bottomless brunch , and a backyard . This places crushes the game.

Shaena

Really chill atmosphere. Also the bottomless mimosas are truly bottomless. Yummy brunch food . You can hang out all day. Fun card/board games to play too.

Max Tatton-Brown

$11 = perfect lamb slider , perfect fried chx, perfect crunchy fries and a nice pint of Alaskan beer . I'll be returning any time I'm within 100 miles, a hidden thrifty gem.

WhiskyAvenger

Awesome beer list ,with delicious bar food. As well they have a great patio for drinking and smoking if you are so inclined. Service is friendly and attentive to boot.

Bikash Mishra

Great local spot to grab a beer indoor or outdoor. The handles rotate but never disappoint. Check out the back patio .

Pavan Kulkarni

They play some amazing rock music here. The outdoor patio is like Zeitgeist but small. 21st amendment beer and Mac n cheese poppers are something you can order

Darren Riesz

Always an interesting collection of beers . Great food too. Wish the place was bigger. Usually too crowded for me. Cool patio out back with cool murals !

Tom Coates

This is such a nice little bar with good beers and a wide range of sliders and snacks . Has a nice little back patio that’s open in the summer too.

oohgodyeah

All of their food is amazing. It is difficult to choose which is better: big collection of boardgames or delicious beers

Jussi Häyhä

Patio , cider , games, location, jukebox and staff : top notch. My friend got banned for life after going behind the bar to add volume. Now I go by myself.

Jake Kaufman

Great taps, a nice little patio , laid back crowd and cheap mulled wine . What more could you want? Well maybe a lamb slider or two.

Marvin

Great communal space in the back to share a drink with other locals in the mission.

Pam ☕️ O

Wednesday night bingo on the back patio is low key . Make sure to keep your ears open for the free rounds of Jello shots .

Elliot Cullen

The sliders where great, but very small for 3.50 a piece. The food also took a long time. Great bar with tons of board games !

Xiulung

Frequent rotation of great beer selections , cheap tasty sliders , punk on the juke box , heated patio , movies out back and board games to boot.

Chris Golden

Monday night trivia night is where it's at. Even though half the bar couldn't identify the number of Senators in the US Senate...

SFist

The real showpiece is outside, a casual patio with two long picnic tables and a bit more seating. Read more

Heather Callaway

Get the roast beef-but if you get mayo , get it on the side.Seriously, must've been over 1/4 cup of mayo on it.

Sabina B.

Order lamb and fried chicken sliders at the bar (+ their wicked good fries ), and then head out back to the patio where all the cool kids are

minijohn

Cool little corner, I like their taste of music & the little "hidden" open backyard {thumbsup}

Andrea Castaneda

This place is our Sunday Funday. Board games , bottomless Mimosas , and the best food! This is a gem people.

Alden Cates

The chicken and waffles are amazing, but put off by “handle it yourself” seating—not very ideal on Sunday. No seating list either. Peak SF restaurant nonsense. There’s a back patio to eat at as well .

Dustin

Dive bar + brunch place . Nice patio outside if it's sunny

Kris Vera-Phillips

Try the Fried Mac And Cheese Bites - #kvpinmybelly - So cheesy! I also loved the crunchy bacon bits .

Venkatesh Hodavdekar

They have Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas . Get any dish with their awesome gravy . It's worth it.

Prakash Nair

The best sliders (lamb ) I have ever had. Period.

Sabina B.

The fried Brussel sprouts are divine but definitely for sharing

The Tastes that Make the City

The lamb burger sliders are the best sliders in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City : SF Edition." Read more

Nilla Sivakumar

The sliders are delicious and (for both bar food and SF food) extremely reasonably priced!

Nimalan Mahendran

Montreal beer night was fantastic! Had a great winter ale and the poutine was top-notch.

Mikahla Vicino

The back patio is the way to go.

Kim Pham

Great little outdoor patio in the back, cheap brews.

Kristin Waymire

Salmon Benedict and bottomless mimosas are bomb! Outdoor seating in back patio (picnic bench style)

Kris Vera-Phillips

Try the Fried Chicken and Waffles - #kvpinmybelly : #Brunch w/ @CateCauguiran. Adored waffle stuffed w/prosciutto & manchego cheese . Yum!!

Eugene Kim

Go for the back patio , great draft beer selection and decent pub food !

Jenny

Cards Against Humanity! There's a lot of outdoor seating in the back, but it does get really smoky with all the hipsters .

Greg Schechter

Great beer selection . Easy to meet strangers on the outdoor patio . Wednesday Boingo is a lot of fun

Kyle Meyer

Excellent bar food and a small, but good, beer list . My favorite bar in the city .

Jordan Fine

Awesome beer selection and cool outdoor patio in the back!

Lee

There's a fun outdoor area in the back! Also beware of their bottomless mimosas (they don't let your glass get empty).

Stephany

They serve mulled wine all winter. Perfect to cosy up with when beer seems too chilly.

Keefer Taylor

Saturday brunch with bottomless mimosas may be the best thing ever. Kim rocks
