The Kezar Pub

"This is the best kept secret at Kezar Pub: order the Fresh Fruit Bowl. I wanted a break from traditional breakfast fare so I decided to order it. I was skeptical at first, but when this item got to my table my expectations were exceeded. I had a large bowl of fresh fruit right in front of me. There were freshly cut bananas, pineapples, watermelons and grapes. It was delicious! This item came with a small amount of syrup on the side but I found no need for it."

"Great pub grub at reasonable cost! Menlo Park gem! First time chowing here and must say the pub grub is good and there's something for everyone here. Casual environment, great for sitting with a friend, relaxed environment enjoying some good bar food. It's been here decades, and more decades to come! Burgers, hot diggities dawgs, sammies, salads, crazy spiced egg thingy, pizza and much more! Excellent service, nice peeps serving up grub to citizens in need of some munching. I ordered the BLAT, spicy deviled egg and wings served crispy with no sauce. Everything was great and good quality. However, die hard fans don't get mad at me...I do not like the spicy deviled eggs. I understand it's a menu icon and especially with area locals but my kind of deviled egg is formed not goopy. I love me a good deviled egg but not as they have made. Otherwise, I loved everything. Stop by when you're in the area! Cheers!"

The Pig & Whistle

★★★★☆ 4 (545) • $$

"I've only made two (2) trips to The Pig & Whistle, and I must admit that this pub has a special place in my heart. The Pig is located within a prime spot (for me) in San Francisco. This "fine dining pub" lies on Geary Blvd, one block away from the Target on Masonic Ave. I like the fact that I could run my errands at Target and then get myself a cool brewsky and a set of satisfying fish right next door! The pub does not appear to be filled with hipsters, just local dudes chopping it up with the bartender at the bar, of course. It's a very low-key spot, a feature which I love.I haven't ordered anything else other than a pint of beer and their delicious Fish N' Chips. After dining here (mainly, for their fish), it's safe to say that this dish is a sure bet. The pub delivers a fried fish which is something special. The cod meat is thick and succulent while the batter is frankly, light and crispy. Most fried foods make crispy sounds. But the Pig & Whistle's fried fish make a sound which actually "taste" satisfying. I know that I'm not biting into an oily piece of meat. I also know that the fish is perfectly incorporated within that light, crunchy batter. Since there are no unnecessary clusters of fried dough protruding it tastes as if they got the perfect fried fish down to a science. The chips, however, are basic steak fries. I can forgive the pub for this because the fish is so outstanding you'll probably feel that you'll get your money's worth. On my first visit, I did order Buffalo Wings. I would rank the wings with the steak fries as an "afterthought". Both dishes were honestly, standard bar food.The Pig & Whistle, is a friendly neighborhood pub with surprisingly, excellent fish. The bartender was quite the gentlemen and even gave me a history lesson behind the name, The Pig & Whistle. Also, the parking around the area is moderately easy. I give it a good 4.9....ayeee!!"

"If you like having the freedom to turn around, this might not be the bar for you. But if you don't mind being stuck facing one direction for occasional periods, come on by.If I had one request to the management team: can you please serve Schlitz cocktails (a can of schlitz beer with whipped cream and a cherry on top)?"

"My husband & I had an out of body, ratatouille fireworks going off, earth shattering, mind blowing, eye opening experience with the Guinness Beef Stew & side of French Fries. I was simply expecting a subpar yet satisfying pub experience but we were happily shocked to experience the greatness of this spontaneous find. We will be making this a tradition to come & experience this definition-of-a-pub spot. 10/10 would recommend. also martini was on point (i know contradictory since I should've gotten a beer, however my husband loved his guinness) staff was amazing too!"

"Had a blast at this place. My brother brought us here while we were visiting. We got to enjoy bingo night and had alot of fun. It was cool to learn about how they burned down an were rebuilt. If I lived in the area I could definitely see myself coming here alot. I especially enjoyed how we could get a pizza drop next door and eat it while drinking. Definitely a place to visit. Service was great and the bartender was very nice."

The Valley Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (334) • $$

"This is my fav bar in Noe Valley!! They have a great, affordable drink menu, lots of seating (tables, booth, bar, and even a gorgeous outdoor space with greenery and TVs in the back with heat lamps!) The bar has a good variety of NA beverages so I'm a big fan! This is a solid spot to watch any big sports game (lots of screens) with a group and actually sit down. On Thursday's there's a Spanish club in the back 6-8pm which is great way to meet folks and grab a drink while practicing Spanish."

"I for one did not expect there to be good food at a bar, but I stand corrected haha. We came here after a concert in the city and this was one of the few places that was open later in the evening. A bar on one side and a few rows of tables on the other, it's a dimly lit but comfortable place to hang out with friends and get some yummy burritos, tacos, wings, fries, & beer. Enjoy."

Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (541) • $$

"Came here for a friend's birthday celebration! The downstairs portion is a dance floor with a bar area - it tends to get packed on Fridays and Saturdays and can get pretty warm. The upstairs portion tends to have slightly fewer people and maintains a cooler temperature - it also has a smaller dance floor towards the back! I love the energy of this bar and they play great music too! Would definitely recommend checking this place out!"

"Perfect dive bar.Bring cash.Love stopping here pre-botanical garden at Golden Gate Park for a little warm-up. I see a lot of folks ordering the Irish coffee. Maybe one day but I usually order a cider and Jameson. Favorite time to visit is a cold wet afternoon. *chefs kiss"

Irish Times

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (410) • $$

"This place has such a great Irish ambiance! They always have all the games on, such as Premier League games, NFL games, Rugby games, March Madness, etc.! The Guinness pour is excellent! And they have additional Irish beers as well. They serve bar food that is above average. Great bar that is worth the visit thanks to the variety and service."

The Fishbowl Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (260) • $

"If you're looking for a great neighborhood bar with good vibes, fun locals, great booze prices and bar food then look no further than The Fishbowl! This bar has been a part of my repertoire for the past decade and after a recent visit, guess what? Nothing has changed and it makes me happy to know that the good vibes are intact. Oh, if you're a shot & a beer guy like me you'll love the specials they have on a daily basis. Shot of fernet and a miller high life for $9 bucks...yes please! They also have about 10 beers on tap and rotate a seasonal for you beer buffs. Buck Hunter, great American lager and fun people. Sign me up."

"Maybe I shouldn't give it five stars I don't want it to be filled with tourist. It's a dive tiki bar in the outskirts of the avenues in San Francisco. Not many tourists go here. It's more locals. I used to hang out in this bar all the time because I lived down the street and my best friend was also the bartender, we had a great time there and I still go back every once they have a big tiki bar drink with a lot of rum type cocktails, and addition to all the normal beers and liquor that most bars have"
