Piano duel nights are very amazing. Like a jukebox , give some money 1-5 USD, let them play what you want. If you give more money your wish can be first. I suggest Ray Charles whiskey cocktail .

Madison Williams

One of the most fun pubs I've ever been too. Bartenders and dueling pianos create an awesome atmosphere and a great time. Tip piano players and bartenders . They deserve it!

Ali Anderson

Bring $5 and your favorite sing-a-long song request to the cellar on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night! (Free cover on Thursday at 8:30).

Celebrate St. Paddy's Day at one of the best Irish bars in SF. With 3 different levels of fun, Johnny's is the perfect place to have those green pints and forget the week. Read more

Peadar McMahon

Smithwicks is surprisingly close to home. Can't complain, it's really close to the Irish stuff. Bar is a bit weirdly laid out but seems like it'd hold a decent atmosphere at less manic times.

Brent Shelton

Great Irish Pub in San Francisco's Union Square. Cold Lagunita 's on tap along with every Irish pub ale you can think of. This is the happening place if you downtown.

Christopher Quesada

Great service, nice bartenders . Good buffalo wings , great lamb mini-burgers, try the Kilkenny beer . Good live music after 9:30 p.m.

The Dueling Piano show here is absolutely brilliant. Particularly Nathan's Disney medley and when they crank out I'm Shipping out to Boston.

Gretchen Schramm

The cottage pie and corned beef and cabbage were delicious. The sticky toffee pudding to die for!

Patty C.

Red Wine Braised Lamb Shank was delish! The proportion was smaller than expected though!

Threedukes

The food is good (not great), the Guinness is good (not great), the service was good (not great), and while their bar is great, their sound system is set so everyone has to yell.

Vlad Saveluc

Euro style place. Different food than what you usually find in sf. I love it.

Danonki

Bring your ID with you, as a tourist you might think its not necessary to show you're old enough to drink but, my best friends wife was asked for her ID and she's 35 BTW

Lisa

The dueling piano players can and will play anything. It is a great place to hang out any day of the week. Fun for all!

Paul de Hallé

The live music upstairs is great. But for a truly awesome night, head downstairs for the dueling pianos.

Christian Lea

All the sports you need on four screens nice people and Lagunitas IPA on tap . What else can you ask for on a Sunday evening?

Emily Faraone

Incredible dancing and singing along with pianos. Karaoke with a crew. So much fun!

Christian Dickmann

Fun place, but during our last visit the live music was louder than is good for a conversation

Joseph Bulger

They weren't really dueling pianos... they each played parts of songs, make jokes, and took full advantage of groups celebrating birthdays to draw the entertainment out to the endurance point.

Fabiam Fagner

The piano dueling is really nice. Worth spend a night here for joy! Very funny and dynamic!

Brian Donohue

Wait staff is friendly , lots of authentic Irish beers . Great place for watching a game

Antonio Maio

Great atmosphere here! Feels like an Irish pub .,, or at least an Irish pub you would find in Canada! :-)

Paul Sweeney

Piano bar is hilarious. Make sure to arrive early (930pm) or else you’ll wait in line forever.

Roberto Palumbo

Try the "Home-made Veggie Burger "! Great place!

Vito Telischak

Big fan of the smoked salmon on boxty pancake . What a perfect fusion of flavors. Service was awesome.

Ivan Ivanov

The perfect place for a European! 15 kinds of draft beer and real football on the TV !

Brian Pieroni

Great energy between people.good music . Beer is good but not cheap

Amy Chan

Fast service on good drinks! Must be the Irish ☘️ way!

Kelly Schallhorn

If you're Irish, have been to Ireland, or have every had good corned beef ... Don't order it here. The corned beef was totally unseasoned and flavorless. Even covering it in salt didn't help save it.

Peter Brewer

Great live music after 9.30 pm. Grab a seat and a Guiness and enjoy a great night out!

Manoel Soares Junior

Good place.. and good atmosphere.. you can drink and to listen good songs
