Hyde Out

How is this place NOT five stars? I mean, this Dive Bar is a San Francisco institution and a haunt I've visited more times than I can remember. That might be the booze talking. First off, great bartenders who are local and fun and great at making drinks for ....well...drunks. Mixology fans need not apply. They make a great martini, rusty bail , whisky sour, etc. great ambiance from the clientele...bankers, techies, vagabonds, homemakers and alcoholics from all walks of life mingle. Great music from the jukebox and sometimes live! We heard jazz , Eagles, Bon Jovi and Taylor all on the same visit.

This great little dive bar feels like home! The bartender Amir from Iran makes everybody feel welcome. He even introduced me to the regulars so I had people to chat with. They only accept cash but there is an ATM that doesn't gouge you. The people were so friendly and welcoming that I went there every day during my trip. Be sure to say hi to Amir and Dave from Chicago at the bar! Also, download the AMI app and play a song on the jukebox!

*3.5 Stars*Can you say: diiiiiiive?! Gimme some of THAT right quick! The Hyde Out is literally a great place to "hide out" and just chill and maybe catch a game or two. It's practically hidden on the corner of Hyde Street and California in the Nob Hill district. There's nothing fancy about this spot and that's exactly why I dig it! Low key, not too crowded (except for on big game day nights) with a local crowd and super down to earth bartenders. And did I mention that the drinks are cheap? Oh yeah... that's ALWAYS a winner in my book! And, they aren't watered down either. You will definitely get a bang for your buck. The bar itself is long and narrow with plenty of seats and a few TV's that hang in the corners. There's also an upstairs area, but we haven't yet gone up there. Most of the people who come here are locals and regulars but they are very welcoming and a few of them will really have you cracking up at their jokes! Although I enjoyed myself while I was there, a few things are keeping me from giving them a higher rating. First, they are cash only! BOO HOO! I have to say that I truly despise cash only businesses. I understand the concept but then again... I kind of don't. Secondly, that bathroom... let's just say it ain't the prettiest. I know, I know... it's a "DIVE". Buuut, that don't mean y'all can't fix up that bathroom one time! I mean damn! I would hate to see what that bathroom looks like on a game night....Aside from those nuisances, I really dig this bar. It's a great a little hidden gem in the area to chill out and have a nice drink. If you're in the area and are looking for something low key, I would recommend it. Just make sure you bring cash and try to use the bathroom BEFORE you get there.

Great location for a casual dive bar. Go somewhere else unless you bring 5+ friends. It sucks if u are alone.

I really enjoy coming here. I've NEVER had a bad bartender. So far, I can say never. Usually very chill, sometimes extra fun, it's very cozy. Down to earth , no bougee sized pours (you get a normal, sized drink), no matter whose there. If you want something super loud, wild, and lively, the Wreck room is across the street. However, if you want something cool and a lot mellow-er, this is the place. It is really a neighborhood bar. Hydeout is what you make it. There's no dance floor, so you gotta find room to cut a rug. But you can! There's a sweet upstairs area that's never been busy, even if downstairs is busy. A little more intimate. The manager Amir is so cool and I'm always happy to see him when he's there and his big smile. It's nice to walk in and see familiar faces. I've met some really cool and interesting people, all good. Love the jukebox. No food (except on holidays) but peanuts. But you can bring your own. Trader joes is across the street. Love, love, love my Hydeout.

The bartender Tuesday afternoon was an absolute delight! I had just came from brunch where I had a terrible bloody mary and took myself to Hyde Out for a more legit drink and it was delicious! Ended up getting a second one. Fairly priced as well. A new favorite spot for a bloody.

Great bar, with a super old neighborhoody feel. Literally the sort of spot where the bartender knows half the people's names. Plus random snack mix! I enjoy how mixed the reviews are for this spot.

AMAZING deals every single day (yes, weekends too!) Check other reviews or pictures for details.I got a super sweet bartender, Alicia, who can make a mean cosmo while still listening to me tell my life's story. Oh, it helps that she's really hot too.The inside is well-cared for. Red walls with decorated mirrors and a very stocked, organized bar.There are games, though Scrabble was missing. I played Uno and Bullshit with dice.I will be back whenever I get the chance! The beeeessssttt.

What can I say about Miss Jenny....FABULOUS! She is accommodating and great at making her customers feel comfortable! I will definitely be back to see her!

What is the point in having a neighborhood BBQ on the 4th of July if you are going to be rude to folks? Such a cool idea... but the bad attitude of your BBQ dude is not a vibe.
