Pier 23 Cafe

You come here to drink, or perhaps to have a hangover brunch , and you come here when it's sunny out. Because if the conditions are right, this is a prime spot with plenty of space to move around. Read more

Perfect spot to enjoy the Embarcadero. Grab your freinds and sit outside with a beer .

The view , service, and food were all incredible! The crab and shrimp salad , Korean shirt rib , guacamole and pico are all amazing!! Avi was our server and was the best! Highly recommend it all!

Guy says if you're looking for live music , fresh delicious seafood , a huge patio and good times, you've got to head to Pier 23. Many come for the legendary NorCal oven-roasted Dungeness crab Read more

The beef brisket sandwich is incredible, with its decadent BBQ sauce and thick cheddar cheese . Pair with an Anchor Steam draft and a table on the back patio along the Bay for a great evening! ;)

Great place on the pier , great patio with water views . About a 10 minute walk from pier 39. Try the fish tacos !

Known for it’s prime outdoor deck , Pier 23 is a happy hour staple for the Northeast corner of SF. Get a bucket of Coronas and some apps. I like the Burrata Plate (not on the menu !) and the Sliders .

Great view great service and great food! Had the sf crab and shrimp sandwich . Really really good! Big portion , had to get a box for the other half of the sandwich .

Oysters and beer on the outside patio...need I say more? Beer garden is a great outdoor option if you just want drinks.

Great place for a birthday lunch !! There's something for everyone on the menu and you can hang out in the beer garden after!

Darn good food and the 175 (a drink) is incredible! Just don't drink too many....way to easy to break the champagne flute it comes in:-)

Along with its cocktails from the full-bar, Pier 23's kitchen offers a selection of seafood favorites such as their grilled fish tacos , steamed mussels , salmon fritters , and lots more. Read more

Lunch outside ( avoid 1.00pm ). Crab cakes . Mussels and clams . Draught local beer . Music . Enjoy !

This is probably the hottest Bloody Mary I ever had...it's delicious though and so is the fish&chips. Super friendly staff , sitting "on the bay " with a great view .

Awesome fish tacos ! Great place to hang with friends by the bay and grab some drinks.

We almost got kicked out because we were having a good time. I think the manager was jealous. Our server was amazing and wants to party with us in the future.

Great vibe, atmosphere and always nice to be in the sun and see water. Fish and chips were pretty average.

Great for an afternoon beer and cocktail , French fires are good as well , enjoy the view at a sunny day

When you are on the patio you feel like you are a little bit removed from the tourists . The starters were good and served us well as lunch .

Fish tacos and New England style IPA from Fieldwork. Awesome! Great view and friendly service .

The food's decent, but this is really the spot to go on a sunny day for some drinks on the patio overlooking the water. Sweet potato fries here rock.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. The ocean view was pretty amazing too. ❤️

Plenty of windows make the interior of the cafe seem bigger than it is, and offer a chance to spend those bright cold days along the Embarcadero away from the wind.

Get the crab and shrimp sandwich , open it up and dose it with lemon juice and a dash of Tabasco . Perfection.

Live music , cold Coronas & fresh seafood . When the sun is shining, good moods are abundant & tables are hard to come by but standing amidst the sea of fellow bar-goers is just as fun. - Jill

There are 2 Patricks and 2 Ryan's ransoming booze behind the bar . Come Thursday-Saturday nights for the patented Patrick proof perfection!

Simple food done well ! Service staff is friendly . Seafood and non-seafood available.

Good drink menu and waterfront location. Enjoy a drink outside

Protip: they have cowboy hats for you and the rest of your raucous friends on the deck outside. Enjoy.

The music is too loud sometimes, but on a sunny day sitting out in the beer garden sharing calamari with friends, there's no place I'd rather be.

Great food ! Don't be fooled by the historic dive look. Chef is trained and all product local and fresh !

Parmesan baked oysters were huge mouthfuls of crunchy, salty and slight spicy deliciousness!

Fish tacos were delicious! Right by the ocean and great atmosphere!

Amazingly juicy crab , go for it!

Nice location, great view and an ok burger . Not to die for though!

Sit outside! Hats available to block the sun you didn't expect.

I recommend a cappuccino & the delicious Flourless Chocolate Cale!! Yum!!

Outstanding ahi tuna and watermelon appetizer . Also recommend peel and eat shrimp .

Try the crab and shrimp sandwich - amazing!

Mussels + clams with pasta and fish tacos were excellent

Amazing!!! Great crab cakes and Mac and cheese

The crab is outstanding and the bar is very laid back . Oh and $$$$ views at $$ prices.

Fun to be down right by the water and in the sunshine but our drinks took forever. We finished our appetizer before they came. Service could be better!

On a sunny day, ask your server for a straw hat or some sunblock. Our server Max took great care of us and the bloodies are spicy ! Great neighborhood joint!

Overall, the food was mediocre but great view . The fish and chips was ok, tacos were soggy, sausage and pretzels were flavourless. Service was slow and acted like they didn't want you to be there

nice outdoor deck on the bay , and right where the cruise liners dock

Interesting bar and patrons from locals to visitors. Expansive outdoor seating .

This is not a tourist trap. Doesn't look like much from the outside but go in. Grab a table in the back on the water and order anything. You'll be happy.

Clam chowder was bland. Fish & chips greasy. We really loved the calamari...bacon Mac n cheese & shrimp /crab sand. Service- short handed.

A local hangout with a great view of the bay ! As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain .
