Zack Williams

Great cocktails (Gimlets especially good) great classic US dive bar vibe being channeled in here.

Troy Flint

A refreshing spot with character in an increasingly homogenous part of town . No pretense, good liquor selection , and a cool second floor to watch the crowd below.

Carina Andersen

Love the bartenders here; generous pours and always a nice spot to stop by for the perfect sazerac . Cash only . Try the cucumber-basil martini as well !

Morten Authen

My favourite bar in San Francisco ❤️ Great staff and great coctails ???? ????????

The Corcoran Group

An awesome bar located on top of the Stockton Street Tunnel , serving cheap drinks (cash only ) and is generally packed after-work and on the weekends.

Eli Hickox

My most frequented bar . Interesting location, quirky interior. What's not to love?

Troy Flint

Heavy pours, good happy hour , comfortable , cozy atmosphere that can turn live at the drop of a hat.

Guillaume Flandre

Pretty cool bar with 9% beer . Don't miss the possibly unique scale ATM in America.

Alex Volkov

Great place for a cocktail and people watching , go upstairs, it's less crowded

Modern Hombre

Quintessential San Francisco spot: located above an iconic massage parlor/brothel, at the bottom of a huge hill , and way cooler inside than the outside would ever promise.

Rob Roy

I like the atmosphere. It's a little bit to loud for a normal Conversation

Kevin Van Ness

Give the Full Boar a try on tap . It's only $4 and is very tasty. Slightly hoppy at first with a great aftertaste. 7.4% abv, so drink responsibly!

It is actually on the tunnel top. Nice bar , it is not overcrowded, nice music and prices.

Jaimy Szymanski

Cash only is kind of annoying, but it's a great atmosphere and the fresh fruit used in mixers is fantastic.

Maddie Mae

Awesome people-watching, best enjoyed with a cynical friend.

Simon Cheadle

Good beer and lively crowd in this rough round the edges bar

Nick Holroyd

Cool and unique spot to grab a beer .

While waiting in line for the bathroom , be sure to look up. Great views at the edge of the balcony , NAWHATIMSAYIN?!

This place has very bad air circulation and on a very busy t can get super crowded but it is so much fun (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Ps! Tunnel top is no longer cash only - cards now accepted

Greg Van Belle

This place is a crazy mix of hipsters , bar rats , and neighborhood locals. Cash only bar and some seriously loud music .

Mario Teigueros

Great value and if you get hungry, go next door for an excellent burger

Cash only . Slightly annoying, but I suppose to be expected from a "dive bar ."

Corinna P

Do you like random? Excellent, that's what you're going to get. This bar is radical bodacious.

Kyle Bunch

Order a mojito . Go sit in the corner by the window. Enjoy a drink on the edge of the ledge.

Tunnel top is wack. Too much Pop music and the crowd is lame, hipster types.

Smoke a blunt upstairs by the window. then take a shot.
