Gestalt

This was my first time in Gestalt in a couple years, and it feels better than it's ever been. I hear it's under new ownership and it feels like it's getting the refresh it needed. Great beers on tap, fun folks in here watching the Super Bowl, bartenders handling the crowd well, and a really nice selection of modern pinball tables that seem like they were set up by someone who really knows what they're doing. My partner got the soju margarita and did *not* like it...so maybe stick to the beers. Black Knight, Mars Attacks, Foo Fighters, Dr No, and - a clean bathroom! A buck for three balls, woohoo! And there's a pool table now. Haven't tried the food, but I'll be back.

The owner is super chill to deal with.Best part is they have Pliney The Elder on tap!!

I love this place. Great beer and kombucha on tap. Vibes are immaculate. Pool and pinball -- and tons of space. We came here two night in a row and had such a good time with a small group and a super large group. Killer service. Looking forward to patronizing this spot for many years to come.

Really enjoy coming here, the beer selection is so great. It's under new ownership so the vibe is fun and they are starting to offer food which is a plus!

Beer and pinball machines. That's it. They are not serving food. Learned from a nearby merchant that the bar will be closing soon for good. Regardless, didn't get a comfortable vibe from the place.

I was excited to find another German spot in the Mission, but this is more of a bar. My boyfriend likes their beer options, but they have limited food options. * Pretzel - 2 starsNot fresh. I'm pretty sure this was microwaved. This was way too hot when came out. It also came with a weird fake-looking, but spicy, mustard dip.* Bratwurst - 2.5 starsNot great, bread pretty stale, not very memorable.

I went to the Place last night about 10 PM. I use to hang out in this place pre-Covid time. Last night I though I finally get to get back to my fave spot. So I went in and they I ask for my ID, I showed them my passport and fyi I'm 23 yo. To my surprise I was refused! I politely asked why? I reasoned out I'm an adult. Their response is that, you're a Filipino and you use a passport. I was speechless and protesting their reason, I called a cop and they called a cop on me too. The cop let me go and advised me to seek another BAR! As soon as I got home and remove my jacket I saw two stickers of their bar stuck on the back shoulder part of my jacket? How on earth did that get there? They labeled me! That is very insensitive! They liken me to the victim of Holocaust - The Jewish people with a Star of David mark ready to be slaughtered. They marked me like a cow ready to be butchered. Please enlighten me what is that two stickers for? I haven't even serviced. I went there to enjoy yet you gave me something that is very insensitive. I felt dehumanized and deprived. I don't care you disrespected me and/or my race and look, if you don't liked my look or scared to serve with a race like me, just please don't LABEL me or anyone. I tried to rip the stickers stuck on my jacket, the adhesives stays and ruined my jacket. KVC

I love that they have DJ's spinning vinyl especially Felix the Dog. Great vibes in a great venue.

Very poor experience here. Bartender on shift (Tuesday night) made some inappropriate racial comments.

Poor business practices. Performed here on a Friday night under a simple written agreement (only $200). At the end of the night we were not payed in full and were told "I don't think we can actually afford you guys, but sorry about the short change."*live music, DJ, vinyl, beer
