Chief Sullivan's

Total gem! We came here on a whim on a Saturday evening, as we'd been wanting to spend more time exploring North Beach. We were drawn to the quaint neighborhood pub appearance, and ended up having a fantastic time here!The interior is very charming, with lots of interesting art painted on the walls, stained glass, cozy wood paneling, and plenty of seating. We plopped ourselves at the relatively empty bar, and were greeted by two very friendly bartenders. The drinks were pretty good, and exactly what I'd expect from a classic sports pub - nothing special, but it got the job done! We tried the Paper Plane, Hot Irish Coffee, and a couple beers. Our drinks were brought out quickly, and they even asked if we wanted to play games at the bar! After obviously saying yes, they brought us a portable Connect Four board, so I was able to dominate my partner at games while we sipped our drinks. The bartenders were lively and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Chief Sullivan's provided exactly the cozy neighborhood pub vibe we were looking for, and I'm sure we'll be back again!

In town visiting a friend and we came here to join the ND Club of the Bay Area to watch the Sugar Bowl game.I got a coconut mojito and pretzel, friends got beers, wings, and mozzarella sticks.The mojito is DELICIOUS! Refreshing and not overly sweet. Perfect cocktail for me being a picky drinker. The pretzel order came with 2 and nacho queso, but they had no salt, and one of them was not heated all the way through and we had to send it back to warm up. The mozzarella sticks were shorter and plumper than the usual bar sticks, and the breading was different. They were ok, but when the cheese is that thick, they weren't fully melted in the center. The wings, however, were perfect and .y friends made note to keep this on their list of places with good wings. They were crispy and juicy, and the sauce was really good without being overly spicy. Plus, it was all flats without asking for it and she loved that!Ordered the fries after halftime, and they are bomb! Love me some good shoestring fries that are crisp and salty outside and chewy inside. So good! Definitely get the fries!Panda was our server (and I think the only server for the whole bar tending to all us game watchers), and she was friendly and did a fantastic job keeping on top of every table. The other staff member helping clear tables and run food was also attentive and helped keep tabs on everyone. Not easy to find parking in the area, but overall it was a great spot to hang for the game watch with fellow Irish fans! They have tvs in multiple areas and angles throughout the bar and outside!!

This bar could be really fun, and from the looks of other reviews, people have had great experiences here. However, the bar manager and staff seemed almost as if they were TRYING to avoid us even though it was a quiet Sunday. For context, we were a group of 3 just hoping to grab a beer or soda and catch up over some appetizers.The bartender was nice enough, VERY zoned out, but nice. Unfortunately though, she poured so much grenadine syrup into one of our drinks that it was actually undrinkable. We were hoping to wash that down with their "famous" warm pretzel, but they were out of pretzels. Sooo we were hoping to be saved by the fries we ordered; it was not fun to watch them sit in the kitchen window for over 10 minutes - with no other food orders coming out - before making it to our table. Then the staff member who served us the fries barely even acknowledged us as he hastily put them down and walked away. Again, the place was quiet. Not busy at all. Overall bummed. Not worth the $.

Great ambiance. Top notch staff. Killer drinks and food! Love coming here with friends. Valentina is the best!

Friendly staff (hi Freddie!)... full bar... laid back atmosphere... clean. Love it! We'll definitely come back.

Slow to get food over 45 minutes with the Resturant being 1/4 fullService was not great I had to ask for water refillsPlates were not cleared right away after each entreeVery noisy

$36 subtotal for a guinness and two basic IPAs is wild, especially for a bar w/ 0 ambience. Recommend Northstar, Boardroom, or anywhere else.

Removing the Liverpool FC connections ruined the social atmosphere. It used to attract an international crowd. Seems to be run by people that don't know soccer. Food and drinks still good. Missing the former managers.

Last night my boyfriend came here to have a beer once he was done he ask for other beer and the bartender girl which her name is Valentina start yelling at him told him not to ask for other beer and for him to go some where else. And even told him don't need to call me to come over I come when I have time. This is very unprofessional of her and has no respect. And she yelled at him very bad and gave him the finger.

One of my favorite bars in North Beach and in San Francisco. The Lady Bartenders and staff always positive and attentive and even remembered me from my last couple of times being here. 10/10 Recommend - - Trivia on Wednesday's is a must.- Nachos are delicious. - love the dark ambiance, my kind of bar. - Cocktails are delicious and Beer is always cold!
