Hi Dive

This review is only for the service and space.Space - with a parking spot next door and a view of the bridge, this place is a good option for your party needs. Not to mention there's an outdoor patio for larger parties but if it's not reserved, perfect space for chilling outside with a nice brewski.Service - Pat was awesome. Yes, he was our bartender but we had a moment when we connected over good food recommendations. Great minds think alike.Will definitely come back if we're around the area.

Hi Dive is a bar located at Pier 28 1/2 in San Francisco. Over the years, I have met friends there for a beer or two. On a nice sunny day, Hi Dive is a great place to hang out, especially if you can find a seat outside.Hi-Dive has a history that dates back to 1935. It started as a small wood-framed bar and restaurant. For many years, it was known as Boondocks and was a popular dive bar for locals and tourists alike. As the area around Pier 28 1/2 was restored, more businesses and residents moved in. Hi Dive adapted to these changes and became a bright, cozy place with a relaxed atmosphere and great views of the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge. Its location near Oracle Park, the San Francisco Giants home, makes it a popular stop during baseball season. People also visit year-round for its affordable menu. Personally, I've never had a full meal there, but I can vouch for their garlic and potato fries--they are delicious!On the day my friend visited, we met at Hi Dive for a beer and shared an order of garlic fries before heading out for dinner. The two ladies serving the large crowd outside on the patio were very professional and friendly. As always, we had a pleasant experience. Hi Dive also has a small but nice indoor space, with a long bar that seats about eight to ten people and approximately a dozen tables.Hi Dive offers stunning views of San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge. It has a good wine list and serves basic bar food and more. As I mentioned, outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy their meals and drinks while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Pier 28 and Pier 30 are super fun! This weekend was Fleet Week at Pier 30...I decided to try Hi Dive and Red's Java House...first time at Pier 30..it was nice out..the view of the bridge and pier was interesting...took photos..festive weekend at the Embarcadero...Fleet Week t-shirt for $10..jello shots for $3..fun to try and hang out..take photos and ask too many questions..and spend some money..they had necklaces with beads..festive..Cheers? Where nobody cares about your name! That's SF!

This little spot became my favorite when k was in SF. It was always lively and I had fun every time I was there. I hope to pop in the next time I visit SF.

Fun spot with a great outdoor patio - good vibes for after work drinks, but bring a hat because it gets a lot of sunshine. The fish and chips were ok. Nice service.

In town for a work visit & met a local friend here. The food was amazing. The service was great and the vibe was perfect! Sometimes places aren't that welcoming to outsiders, but we felt like we fit right in! Highly recommend

Best clam chowder ever served with toast under 20$ bar top style restaurant with outdoor seating and clear view to the San Francisco Bay

Food was good, I got a chili nacho and a little too many toppings for my liking but still tasty! Megan was my waitress and she was great! She's so friendly and inviting, would love to have her again. Ambiance is great, cute and by the water, not too crowded, very awesome people who work here & can definitely tell they have a good set of regulars! Will be back soon!

Meant to get this review done earlier when I still had the receipt in hand.. going off memory now from Oct. 2023 Fleet week. Took a homeschool day to tour the USS John P Murtha during the week since we would miss the air show this year. (Great time - different review!)We parked in a lot right next to the ship which just happens to be right next to Hi Dive as well. Anywhere else we wanted to dine was another drive and didn't want to pay for more parking. My kiddos were a bit as they say "sus" because it did look like a "Dive" at first. However, the waitress saw us using our phones to look up the menu and told us to come on in and pick a seat, they would be open in 10 min.She was awesome.. super friendly, very hip (is that still a word? LOL). Very attentive until things started to pick up so when we needed anything after our food was delivered we had to find her or get it ourselves (water, napkins).. She was the only server and the ambiance was cool, especially with the ship we just visited in the background!Yes, it's overpriced, but it's San Francisco, on the waterfront. So, I'm not going to get too upset on that. I expected it as even on the other side of the bay isn the valley, it's the same way. However, the food was just ok. I ordered the Beyond Burger.. happy they offered. The boys had a cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich. They both said they were good, but nothing better than other places (and then they mentioned a few other places they'd rather eat at) Fries were plentiful and pretty good, had some nice seasoning and were not soggy.We all had sodas, no alcoholic beverages as "teacher" on the trip.. again, I don't have the receipt handy, it was something like $86 for 3 of us.Would I seek this place out? No. Would I eat here again? Yes if it was convenient - service was friendly and location is great for ballgames and Fleet week, and probably a few other things. Looks like they have some good drinks if you aren't driving.

Love this place! I've stopped in on many occasions with coworkers and again this week for a team holiday lunch. Festive decorations along with great staff, food and spirits makes for a good time out for the holidays. We had reservations for 12:30 and showed up at 11:50 and they were very accommodating. Appreciate that we could sit outside without freezing thanks to the heated tent. We all enjoyed the seasonal cocktails, the Filthy Animal was a huge hit! I usually get the fish and chips but wasn't disappointed with the burger. Great place to hang out with friends or before/after a ball game.
