I really liked this place! I came shortly after the official opening, on a Tuesday at lunch time before All Star Weekend. It was fairly busy, but I was able to get seated right away. I sat in the front bar area right off the entrance, near the golf simulator and pop-a-shot. There were plenty of screens everywhere playing soccer, and a foosball table behind me.As for the food, I ordered their Farro Salad and Splash drink; both came out promptly. The salad was very good, as was the drink. The drink though came with more ice than I cared for, aka less drink, and it was several dollars more than the price listed on their online menu (since taken down).Service was "stiff" initially, but was better by the end of my meal. My server offered me drink suggestions and even checked with her manager to see if it would be okay if I looked around upstairs (that area was roped off). I got the okay and toured the upstairs area before I left. The whole place up and down was clean and nice-looking, and with all the screens, would be a great place to catch a game. The downstairs unisex bathroom needed some cleaning and restocking, though.All in all, I had a solid first experience at Splash and would be interested in coming again to catch a game.

This is just such an awesome atmosphere in SF. The giant screens, the bougie furniture.. and my favorite part: the bathroom design. Look at the tile work! The interior design of this place definitely has high end vibes. Then you pair that was incredible cocktails and upscale bar food. I got to try the calamari, nachos, farro salad and friend chicken sandwich. All were delicious. The friend chicken was especially delicious because of the season and perceived lack of batter. I came on a Wednesday night so it was pretty chill but I can't wait to come back during a game to feel the crazy energy. Looking forward to seeing all screens focused on a game!

3.5 STARSHello, Baegas!Never thought the city would have a hella big sports bar like ones in sin city and then comes Splash (not related to the one in San Jo)...Opening two weeks ago at Chase Center/Thrive City, Splash is a massive two-story sports bar with over 30k square feet, 75+ TVs, four bars, balconies, firepits, and more (from Sidecar Hospitality). Who remembers Jillian's at Metreon? Splash is like Jillian's on steroids and a facelift. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog-friendly. Highly recommend making rezzies (SevenRooms). Even on a non-event night, it was busy. We made rezzies for the patio but it was closed so they sat us in the front bar area. M E N UTypical bar food staples: wings, nachos, tacos, burgers, pizza, and fries. They also have elevated comfort foods and sushi. Full bar with cocktail program by owner of Pacific Cocktail Haven & Kona's. Please add a spirit list!No HH specials. 5% SF Mandate added to all bills. D R I N K S* Hendrick's Gin, shaken with a twist ($18 x3)Didn't know what spirits they had and couldn't see the bottles so went with the standard Hendrick's. It was fine, served in a chilled glass but inflated pricing (as expected). F O O DIMO, usually bar food is an afterthought so we only ordered two items to start. Decided to go elsewhere afterwards. * Short Rib: 10 oz Tender Short Rib w/ boursin mashed potatoes, herb roasted carrots, caramelized onions, braising jus ($36): https://tinyurl.com/3ye3ak59My fav part were the freshly cooked tender carrots. The rest of the dish needs work. The short rib was dried out and stringy, while the mashed potatoes were plain and gluey (didn't taste like it was infused with boursin gournay cheese). Caramelized onions were missing. Don't get me wrong, it was edible but tasted like reheated leftover pot roast. * Garlic Fries w/ garlic, parm, parsley, ketchup ($9)Arrived tepid and the center was undercooked. Tasted like regular fries sparingly garnished with minced garlic. Parm was missing.S E R V I C EOur server, Kara was wonderful - friendly, upbeat, and there when we needed another round of drinks. They're new and still figuring things out so this is just feedback. The hostess needs training and/or shadow someone. Arrived with no one at the stand and the guy in front of me said, the hostess is wandering around. When it came my turn to check in, she said, she had to check on something. There was no sense of urgency so a crowd formed behind me. Luckily, a kind manager (?) came and things ran more smoothly. A M B I A N C EMassive space full of TVs (not a bad seat in the house) and basketball memorabilia. Mix of sports bar and upscale resto vibes with high tops, U-shaped booths, and counter seating. There's foosball, basketball arcade games, shuffle table, golf simulator (rezzies required), etc.If you want to be where all the action is at, sit in the main dining area with a ginormous curved TV. Front and back patios with the back patio having more heat lamps. Considering the size, I was surprised there weren't many stalls in the restroom. P A R K I N GOn event days, pre-pay reserved parking at Mercedez-Benz and Warriors Way Garages via SpotHero. On non-event days, open parking at the Mercedez garage. Meters for street parking are enforced until 10 pm!Overall, Splash is a great place to come for dranks pre-event + post-event and to watch the game (no UFC). With time, I hope the food improves and gets on par with the city's standards.

Came here as part of the NBA All Star Weekend. Got lucky to spend Saturday and Sunday Night here to watch the All Star events with my girlfriend. The customer service was amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The whole space is amazing. The tv's are great. The atmosphere is electric. Top notch. Over for the weekend we ordered a smash burger with garlic fries, margherita pizza, fish and chips, and thrive city nachos. With one brownie for dessert. Overall the smash burger and regular fries were great. Very juicy and full of flavor. The regular fries are great. The garlic fries were a let down. Did not really taste the difference between them and regular fries. I was hoping for more. The margherita pizza was also very good. The crust was perfect and the toppings were very fresh. Good size. The fish and chips were great. The serving size was smaller than I expected. Left me wanting more. But all full of flavor. Overall my favorite meal at Splash so far. The Thrive City Nachos was above average. Great portion size. The chicken and quac in our was very few and far between, which was a negative. The brownie was also above average. The vanilla gelato topping was top notch. I really loved that. However the brownie itself seemed a little dry and flat. Just not much flavor or moistness to it. The candled walnuts did help make it better. Overall, I look forward to going back when I can attend events inside Chase Center. Great place.

Food - ordered the garlic parm chicken wings and they were tasty. ranch wasn't an extra charge so that was nice. their funghi pizza was super thin and I didn't feel full after eating almost the entire pizza, and lacked mushroomsService - 100% recommend. We came on Super Bowl day which was really busy but multiple staff kept coming to check up on us, which we super appreciated.Ambiance - 10/10 really spacious, lots of TV screens and a fun area to hangout with friends, whether you like sports or not!

Went out to Splash last night to check out thrive city new sports bar. Friday night it was packed but we had reservations. The service was good our waiter Luis took good care of us. The drinks came fast However, the food came super slow and the food was ok. We ordered the splash rolls, the California rolls, cauliflower nuggets, nachos and the calamari. Everything was subpar except for the nachos the nachos were real good real guac and the queso so good. The crowd was hip and young the place has TVs everywhere and it's cool to watch a warriors game there when the dubs are away. I can only imagine the chaos if the warriors played that night at chase that place would be even more packed. Security is cool they have bouncers inside and security guards outside so it's safe from rowdy drunks or your random homeless guy asking you for fries when you dine outside. All in all 3 stars if the food was better and it came within 30 minutes I would have given it 4 or 5 stars. But still a cool place to have a beer and nachos!

I've been looking forward to Splash opening at ThriveCity, and I was so excited to finally check it out during their grand opening weekend. The place is huge and absolutely gorgeous, with an eclectic, high-energy vibe. It was packed, and the atmosphere was electric.Because of its popularity, the wait time was about two hours for a table, even for a couple, so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. Luckily, I snagged a seat at the bar right away, which worked out perfectly, especially because it was game night so I got lucky.Splash is equipped with tons of TVs, plus games like golfing and basketball, making it a fun spot whether you're there for food, drinks, or just the energy. Honestly, their basketball game area fell way short; like it was so dinky considering it's a sports bar at the epic Warriors stadium. Whoever designed it really fell short here because it was disappointing. I personally loved the food. I had the Splash Burger, and it was perfect--the bun had just the right texture, the patty was juicy, and the caramelized onions tied everything together. The garlic fries were good, not too garlicky like at the Giants stadium. For dessert, we had the brownie ice cream, which was supposed to be warm but came out cold--twice. Definitely something they need to iron out in the kitchen.As for drinks, I tried the Splash Cocktail (without sparkling wine)--it was decent but too sweet for me, and at $18, not really worth it. I ended up switching to my usual Vodka Sprite, and they made it well.Despite the crazy crowds, the service was amazing, and overall, I had an incredible time. I know some people had poor experiences but it's a new restaurant that's working out kinks so they'll need to iron those out to provide a better experience for all. Overall so happy I live a few minutes walk from here and plan to be back often because Splash is a whole vibe.

The menu isn't available online so I emailed in advance to ask if there are gluten free options. The response I got was "yes- you're going to love them" without any detail of what the options were, which honestly should've been my first red flag. The options marked on the menu are grilled chicken wings or nachos for an appetizer, tacos or a single salad for the entree.We ordered the chicken wings, which came out slathered in a sauce not mentioned on the menu. The menu said there were dipping sauces but it wasn't clear that the dipping was done for you. I asked the waiter if the sauce was gluten free and he did not know. He came back with our entrees and said the sauce was gluten free. I ordered the single gluten free salad: the grilled chicken. The salad that came out was a mix of all the salads on the menu; it had apples, pecans, cranberries AND half of the grilled chicken salad ingredients (namely the chicken and feta cheese), although the chicken salad listed avocado that was missing.Sadly, I took about four bites before realizing the salad I ordered shouldn't have nuts in it.The waiter was apologetic but it doesn't make sense how they could mix ingredients from two salads into one. The waiter said the manager would come over, and the manager never did. The waiter took the salad off my bill and acted like I was crazy for asking how this happened; they clearly have no allergy protocol if they're handing out salads with nuts in it that doesn't list nuts in it.I ended up throwing up before I made it to the car to go home.
