Old Ship Saloon

We haven't visited since before pandemic and happy we did today for lunch. Food is good and we didn't order the standard top 3. We got healthier choices- blackened fish tacos. Very good and has a little kick- grilled salmon. Tender and not overcooked with broccolini. Also delicious. Overall impressed. I don't remember food being this good 5 years ago. Glad to see them doing well. We live close by and definitely will be back.

My bf and I ate dinner here this past Sunday and had a positive experience. The setting was clean and casual, with exposed brick walls, minimal decor, lots of wood, and several TV's for watching sports. Service was prompt and professional, and the wait time for our food was reasonable. The menu at the restaurant seemed to offer more options than what I saw online, so it was hard to choose what to get, but had to go with something different. The bowl of mac & cheese with added hot dog was the perfect comfort dish on this lovely evening, cheesy and creamy, with generous amounts of delicious grilled pieces of hot dog mixed in. The wedge burger salad was tasty as well, the fresh lettuce with juicy flavorful meat, a tad too much dressing (should have ordered it on the side), but all of the ingredients came together well. The cocktails were good too (pimm's cup and manhattan), nothing too extraordinary, but our experience as a whole was great, and worthy of 5 stars.

This place is a gem Friendly staff, super niceOpen lateFood was outstanding Great atmosphere vibe Highly recommend

If you are looking for a place to eat or grab a drink, this place will work! I was on the search for clam chowder but I was tired of going to the same places I go when I am in town. So I landed here. I ate at the bar which from a far looks fun but there is a huge lip on the bar that makes it impossible to get close to your food. To make matters a bit more complicated, I sat on the side of the bar with a slightly slanted floor. Between the two, it made for an adventure! Worrying I would tip (I wouldn't but it felt like it!) and trying to make it over the lip to my mouth with soup. I chose the bar top because it was one of the remaining spots that was open. This can easily be avoided by picking a table! I was a solo eater so picking a 4 top (or more) isn't my top choice, out of respect but I will next time. This is a funny place because I felt like I was on a ship and I had a grumpy captain (bartender). One of the bar keeps was a grumpy, curmudgeon-y man. I like to break the grumpy seal when I encounter these types of people but he held strong! I appreciate a grumpy person that stands their ground. It wasn't a problem for me, I just kept it simple and didn't engage, of which I think was their goal. I get it, I too have worked in the industry and survival skills are sometimes needed during shifts. The good news, there was another bartender that was kind so he evened the old grumpy bar captain energy. Clam chowder was thick and decent. I would get again. Looking around the room at the other food coming from the kitchen it looks like there are some excellent options. You will be satisfied with what you get. Just don't get soup/chowder at the bar (sandwiches would be fine!) unless you are excited about testing your eye-hand coordination with hot chowder. :)

Service here was very rude and not welcoming. The whiskey sour cocktail tasted like a lemon drop and not sure I would come back here

Walked in unsure kind of what to do, at an after work hour the bar was pretty loud, despite not too many people there, food was toward the back, walked in and had to do that thing where you're not sure if you wait to be seated or you take a seat or you find someone and you're just doing that weird little sand dance from Dune2 while decidingAnyway, finally got to order fish and chips , service was alright, the staff double up the bar and food serving so you'll have to grab their attention but they'll attend to you quickFish was pretty good! Batter was good but inside was kinda of wet. Although it means the inside was far from dry, it would have been nicer if not wet, the chips felt like they were double fried(?) they tasted good all the same.I would have preferred something on the side, a small salad or some baked beans but otherwise it was a decent set of fish and chips for a decent price

Came on a weekday evening for some drinks and a quick bite. This is your standard tavern / bar place where there's not enough servers / wait staff for people who are here so service was a bit slow though the food came pretty quickly.

Not sure what's going on here. So much potential. The exterior and name presented an esthetic...but then the interior is cheap and poorly thought out. Dudes talking about their guns....where am I?

Old Ship Saloon is fun. Its a solid little horse shoe bar with good wings. I had the Patty Melt - it comes with swiss, I think next time I'll ask for an American cheese (but that's just me).The lighting is high, even in the evenings. So not a romantic place / no booths at all. But for a neighborhood bar that serves food relateviley late (for san francisco on a sunday), I liked it.If you're in the neighborhood and would like a drink, check it out. Wasn't too busy, and the bartender was friendly.

Great historic bar. Lots of fun - good people and stiff drinks. Very historic place too. Go just go.
