Geelou

The staff are always very attentive, especially for how crowded the bar gets... I love the loud music, the alcohol selection, and the access to the pool table.They also never called me out for bringing all my dates there, the anonymity is appreciated !!

It's a fun spot. The staff behind the bar gets overwhelmed with people, saw 4 people leave cause no one took their order. The card system on the other hand, what a dumb system. They keep ur card if you want to keep the tap open. The guy ended up giving me my card AND another persons card. I did not notice until i was 2 blocks down. Almost broke the card and threw it away. But i ended up walking back and giving it to them. Super unprofessional, and saw a girl describing her card color cause they cant find it. Have been to bigger and busier places, they can be more efficient when it comes to that. Pretty clean over all. You can barely hear the music when busy. Band Feels pointless.

In my opinion the bars in the Marina are a hit or miss. This one's a hit - the ambience inside is warm and welcoming. Been here multiple times and even when it's busy, the staff is just as attentive. Some nights they play jazz music and it gets super packed.I gotta say that their espresso martini here is probably top 3 in the city.

Really rude bartender on Saturday night (yesterday 02/15/2025). Very nasty to me and my friends. He was unprofessional and dismissive of us. Kept ignoring us and when we finally got him to serve us, he did it with an attitude. The nerve of the guy to pour out our drinks AFTER we paid for it just because he didn't like the tip. He deserved NO tip in the first place. Totally disgusting behavior. If the owner has any class, he should apologize and fire these bartenders or else this bar will be going out of business with employees like this.

My favorite bar in the city - great ambience, good mix of people, and one of the few places you can get a well made cocktail! Ask for the "green point!"

10/10 experience! Teddy made us such a good drink! Love that they have live jazz too, will have to come back

Absolutely LOVE THIS BAR! My go to spot in the Marina. Ryan and Tristan are both phenomenal bartenders, very social and always welcoming. 10/10 would recommend.

TLDR: Geelou staff 1) is racist, 2) disrespectful/entitled (to a level I've never seen before), 3) makes women uncomfortableLet me start by saying I've never written a Yelp review before. Most establishments I enjoy are already rated well, and I've never disliked an establishment before enough to write a poor review. But the service I witnessed at Geelou was ridiculous. I'd have felt that I neglected my duty as a responsible, contributing citizen if I had not written this review to warn others of Geelou's staff behavior. Let me also add that this didn't even happen to me; I was just an onlooker-- yet I still feel so compelled to write this review.1. A group of friends bought a round of drinks for themselves, which seemed like a large purchase-- something that's favorable to the business, especially on a quiet night like this. When the bartender picked up the receipt, he immediately came back and started screaming at one of the girls who ordered it-- I believe he was criticizing the size of the tip (which is unhinged). One of the other people in the group placed another order for drinks. After the bartender makes the drink, I see the friend grab them. But on his way to retrieve the drinks, the bouncer kicks him out for seemingly no reason. When the guy signaled his other friends from outside to pick up the drinks, the bartender immediately dumped them all out in front of the group--- in a weak display of power.2. The friend who was kicked out seemed to be a native of India, living in San Francisco for work. I overheard the bouncer making fun of his accent and making taunts about India. At one point, the bouncer explicitly said, "I can't understand what you're saying." (This guy spoke perfectly clear English, and I could hear him pleading not to have his drinks dumped from across the bar). Again, this is unbelievable. 3. Here's the kicker, though: the male staff touches women and makes them uncomfortable. If having male bar tenders aggressively screaming at female patrons isn't bad enough, some of the servers were quite handsy with the women in the group when serving them (and making them very visibly uncomfortable). There's no reason a server needs to hug a patron when handing her a drink (this happened multiple times with different male servers).

The staff was incredibly rude to my friends and I. They took very long to serve us and when we finally got our order taken, they were very dismissive and short to us. The bartender acted like serving drinks was a huge inconvenience, when asked about the menu. One of the bartenders even poured my friend's drink out right in front of him because he was not happy with the tip. Our night was completely ruined and I will NOT be coming back here again.

Horrible staff. I ordered a few drinks. The bartender wasn't satisfied with the tip I gave him, so he screamed at me in front of the entire bar and had the bouncer kick me out. I called my friends who were still inside and told them to take the drinks since I was kicked out. The bouncer overheard me, walked back inside, and POURED THE DRINKS OUT in front of my friends.They stole my hard earned money. Disgusting behavior from the staff who were on a power trip.
