Casements

3 G's Great service Great food Great drinks. Very nice vibe, reminiscent of Ireland. Amazing selection of whiskey.

We visited the afternoon of 1/5. Unfortunately the fish and chips looked nothing like the menu photos. Rubbery batter, mushy, small, and a little too "formed" to be fresh. The fries were not thick cut. Disappointing. The Guinness was good but poured with an inch of foam every time by different bartenders. So that 16oz (if even that) became 14oz. We left and went down the street for a properly poured pint for less $. Service was very good, the DJs were awesome, inside and outside were nice spaces.

So disappointed! I ordered "the spice bag" bc I saw the general dish on social media and wondered if it was available in the Bay Area. After a quick google search, Casements showed up in my recommendations. The base dish (fries, bell peppers, onions, curry) was ok but I added fried chicken for an extra ~$5. It wasn't defrosted properly. Although the outside was battered and fried the meat inside was grainy/gritty/tough rather than tender. Did not finish and tossed it away.

Celebrated my friend's birthday here and she was smart to book us into their private outdoor cabana for the night (at least until their patio closed at midnight and we retreated inside).We loved our experience hanging out inside the cabana. Our server was attentive in getting our drink orders, and there is a great selection of spirits, beer, and wine to choose from for the night. The included seating as well sa table board games like Jenga really allowed us to feel comfortable and enjoy the celebrations.There are two single-stall gender inclusive bathrooms inside which is a win, but the long lines at night are never a fun time.

We decided to head over to Casements for a quick drink after chilling in Mission Dolores Park. While we were intrigued by what seemed like a cool ambiance and the allure of the back patio, we were nonplussed by the service as we walked in. While there was a couple drinking at the bar and a server running food out to the patio, neither the server nor the bartender greeted us as we stood waiting, even after the bartender looked up and saw us, and continued to chat with the couple at the bar. Having worked in food service, I understand when staff are busy, but it was off putting to not even be greeted and we were about to leave before we were finally greeted. I got the Pea's for Bee's cocktail while my partner got the Belfast Coffee. The back patio was definitely the star of the show, which had a really cool vibe and would be a great place to drink a beer and hang out. The drinks were not bad but did not particularly stand out. That said, I would definitely come back here on a hot day to get a beer and hang out on the back patio.

I rather like this atmospheric place but have to admit my ignorance of its identity as a modern take on an Irish pub. I've been here a couple of times fully unaware since I'm not really the gin and whiskey type. I also came late in the afternoon so I must have missed the dinner menu entirely. Appetizing options like Fish & Chips and Beef & Guinness Stew might lure me yet. In the meantime, I've enjoyed their craft cocktails.On my virginal visit, I was entranced by the mixology skills of the enthusiastic bartender Mo. Upon her recommendation, I first tried the $14 Puck Fair, an unlikely mix of tarragon, mandarin, lemon, and Irish whiskey that was surprisingly mellow with a bit of sour (photo). I followed this with a discounted $5 Frozen Paloma (regularly $12). It was a tropical delight dominated by tequila bianco and cappelletti.Also added were salted grapefruit cordial, and citrus (photo: https://yelp.to/L-TM8u_BHL). I had not been back for several months but returned today when I noticed mention of slushies on their sandwich board. I ordered the $12 Frose, a frozen rose slushie with a blood orange aperitif, rose wine, citrus, and a touch of rose water (photo: https://yelp.to/d1wn0gulpj). A nice summertime treat. Hmm, now how would this go with beef stew?COCKTAILS - 4 stars...thoughtful creations that go down wellAMBIANCE - 4 stars...cool interior, never overly crowdedSERVICE - 4.5 stars...the bartenders here go the extra yardTOTAL - 4 stars...need to try the pub grub, have a Guinness and face up to the malarkey in the worldRELATED - Exploring the Mission?

Great spot for live music and spontaneous whiskey tastings. The outdoor seating is lovely and it gets loud but not too rowdy. The staff has always been very kind and the drinks are solid.

I came here for a friends birthday. The drinks were super yummy. Not sure what I ordered but it was refreshing with passion fruit. The bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable. I asked for something they would recommend and they did not disappoint. The overall vibe was cool and chill I loved the décor. The outside patio was perfect for a birthday gathering. Tons of space and fresh air. The inside was dark but very fun and trendy. I look forward to coming again.

Great place. Warm wonderful people. Great drinks. Good food. I admit the spicy fries were too much for me.

Nice Irish bar located in the Mission. Went here last weekend to meet some friends. Got there early afternoon and we were immediately seated outside in the patio area. SF weather is great this time of year and was actually quite warm. Started off with an Irish coffee, which is one of my fave drinks. Had some typical appetizers such as the beer battered mushrooms and house ceviche, which was quite good. Once my friends came, had another Irish coffee and a Red Breast flight, which was really good. If you're into Irish whiskey, I recommend trying this particular flight.
