Club Mari's

Very cozy bar that offers karaoke and fair priced drinks.My friends and I love to come here and get a Mogura bomb (large sake bomb) and pay $3/song in cash for karaoke. They also offer some small bites like oden. It feels very local and homey! As they are small, they often fill up but you can leave your name and number in pen at the door.

A "communal" karaoke bar with izakaya and good drinks is a fun time! My friend and I came here on a weekend night and were seated in the waiting area before being seated in the main bar area. I ordered the Mint Mojito, which had a good ratio of alcohol to non-alcohol proportion and was quite minty, and the large Sake Bomb, which is not too complicated of a drink but delicious! After a couple karaoke songs by strangers and my friend and I, we ordered some small dishes including chicken karaage, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and fried squid. All these dishes were delicious, with the takoyaki and fried squid being my favorite.The way the seating is arranged along with the friendly staff make for a very fun environment, where customers are encouraged to interact with each other and make new friends! Besides it being a bit more pricey than I would like, I enjoy coming to Club Mari's every so often.

Very cool sake bar in Japantown! It's next to Marufuku on the left. Drinks: 10/10 Super good but not very strong. My favorite was the Tokyo Bubble because it was sweet and didn't taste like alcohol (actually tasted like juice). I also thought Japan summer was good as well but I prefer Tokyo bubble. Geisha dance and Midori sour tasted a bit more like alcohol. Price is like a normal bar with drinks that range from $10-$20. They have food/appetizers there as well which is really nice!Service: 10/10 They were fast and attentive!Ambiance: 10/10 Love the karaoke and the intimate setting. It was a really small place and pretty hidden. We luckily were able to get a seat right when we got there but if it were to be even more busy, it might be difficult. Parking: 7/10 We parked at the Japan Center Parking lot!

Would not have guessed there was a bar next to marafuku. The area seems a little sus to get to but so worth. Truly a hidden gem in SF.It is super small/cozy inside, I love the laid back feel. They don't have a lot of seating, try to get seated in the bar area if you can.Drinks are also cheap for SF standards, roughly ~$14 for sake cocktails If I remember correctly. They specialize in sake cocktails that are quite sweet making it hard to taste the liquor which I really like.My favorite are the Japanese summer and kyoto night.

The seating policy is confusing. We showed up around 8pm on a Friday and were told that it was full and to leave a phone number. 20 minutes later I returned. A different person greeted me and was ready to seat us. But we had not been called, and there were several people ahead of us on the sheet.The room is comfortable and cute. Karaoke is available at $3/song, cash only.

A small intimate bar with a relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. The interior is comfortably worn. They serve a small selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as snacks and meals.

My friends and I came around 11pm on a Wednesday. There's two entrances (one on side of the street leading upstairs and one inside the Japantown center plaza). The bar is super small and very Japanese style setting. There's 2 tables in the back for bigger groups (6-8max I would say) that get charged 20% more. Cocktails took about 15min to be made but all looked pretty cool. Menu is online.7/10 Japan Summer $15 - This teal cocktail was pretty refreshing but did not taste any alcohol. There was a popsicle in it and the drink tasted more like that. Not too sweet but it was just ok drink overall. Good presentation.

Stopped by Club Mari's with friends for some pre-dinner drinks! Pictured here are the Japanese summer and Kyoto night drinks. They were incredibly sweet, to the point where you couldn't taste the liquor in them which was a plus for us. The Popsicle was a fun touch! The decor was very cute and service was quick and friendly. On the night we visited, it seemed more like a spot to stop by quickly than one to hang out for the night.

It was kinda confusing to get in but my friend and I were lucky that 2 people left right when we arrived and were seated quickly. Ring the doorbell or text the number outside. Really cute and intimate vibe and the drinks were pretty too. You can sing karaoke for the whole bar to hear, but I think they only take cash. Would come again!

Chill and intimate vibe here at Club Mari's. The main entrance is inside of the shopping mall on the upper level. There is also an exit (might also be used as an entrance, not sure) from the street level. It may look like no one is inside to help you, but if you wait by the stand, a bell will ring summoning staff that someone is waiting to get in.There is limited seating inside, but each time I've gone I was always able to be seated at the bar. There are a couple tables in the back if your group is bigger. The seats that surround the bar are sunken - you will walk up one step, the seating level where you'll sit on a cushion is next, then your feet go in the sunken part. People come here alone, on dates, and with friends for a drink, light bar food, or karaoke. I enjoyed chatting with the bartenders and hearing about where they originally came from and what their stories were. I always find hearing about other people's lives so interesting.The menu can be viewed via QR code. There is plexiglass around the bar. I've had a bottle of sake here one time on a date and on my most recent visit, I had a few cervejas (Sapporos) and tried their croquettes (2-pcs) which was really yummy and a decent size. I would order that again and try some additional food items they had like seaweed salad, takoyaki, etc. Sometimes they can close earlier if business is slow. Cash and card accepted as far as I know. Restrooms are clean and you'll never have to wait in a line to use them.
