McTeague's Saloon

Someone please send the bartender who works the Friday morning / early afternoon shift a referral for an optometrist. He needs thicker glasses. His vision problems have got really bad. I sat near him expecting service and he sat down and completely ignored me. I figured , why would someone be rude, and he likely wasn't trying to be, so obviously he needs better glasses. Poor guy

Cool Irish bar with a fun history just ask about it as they tell the story better then I will. Service was excellent. This is a basic bar simple pours and beers nothing too fancy. The interior vis very cool and worth taking some time to look at. I came during the day so I can judge the nightlife here.

Basic dive bar in the Civic Center area. It kind of has an Irish theme but not really. McTeague's is one of the cheaper places to get wasted. Kind of dark in here. This is a good place if not caring about cleanliness and things. A long bar. It's where most people in here were at, but there still were a few stools open. The prices are the best thing. Cocktails here are relatively cheap. It's about $8 for Jameson. The bar is decorated in European soccer stuff. Of course not being drunk while watching it is the bullocks. This is certainly the place to get wild and crazy. Chill bar at other times when there's not a game or anything. It's good for a few cheap cocktails. There's no food but people bring in stuff.

This is a cool pub to hang out and have a drink. Came in after dinner from across the street to have a drink. There was a $10 cover charge because they had the UFC fight on. Wasn't too busy, no cocktail waitress, have to order at the bar. JD & Coke made pretty strong. They also allowed dog inside, as there were 3 to 4 dogs there.

I reviewed the wrong business last time. Apologies I had a great time there and was not overcharged

Love a good dive bar that's spacious and with great decor, tons on tvs, great tunes and awesome service. Reserved the back bar for a private party. They roped off the back for us. Gave us access to our own speakers and tv, and checked in with us and was super attentive. Made sure we had water and a great time. Super grateful to the staff. Definitely a must, so check them out.

Ordered one beer and was willing to pay cash, given I hadn't ordered enough to meet the $15 minimum for my card on tab. However, the tender advised he went ahead and charged my card and the receipt noted the appropriate amount ($7). Went home and realized they actually charged me $25 dollars. Be careful when paying at this establishment

This has been my favorite, most comfortable bar where I feel the safest for twenty years. The original owner from Tejas who used to have Shiner kegs brought in is long gone, I guess, but it's a lovely Irish pub for people who find San Francisco to be our home.I always say: on the weekends, it's a great place to watch Footie with the Blokes, early in the morning.Any other business on Polk St could close and I would shrug. So many have.McTeagues is never going away, and I doubt I will ever feel unsafe here.

Bar only??? Bring in your own food??? Very weird and common in this area. Cool hangout spot otherwise.

this bar is very unprofessional. i had a small altercation with one of the security guards who proceeded to call me a fat ass bitch when i walked away cause he was too much of a puss to say it to my face. mind you i'm only 110 lbs. the manager didn't seem to care either. he then proceeded to call me all types of other names "hoe, slut, etc." , i didn't even step foot into the bar yet at that point. never had an experience like this at any other bar. they were just disrespectful and rude for no reason and i hope that security guard gets fired. he was tall , white, ugly, you won't miss him!
