Phone Booth

Consider their retro name as a hint? Per size, step in for a quick hello or so? Well, it's also got a loyal local sweet set of fantastic friends who rely on that phone booth for necessary connections, ok? So, you know, be chill & it'll go well. Quick anecdote to illustrate: they don't always have a TV out or a DV projector, but if there's something interesting or special, they might. So once we were in and they had figure-skating world championships on. Everyone's way into it. An unfamiliar-with-the-scene-here guy piped up w/ the most duh question, "can we see the game a sec?" The whole bar answered on cue, almost in unison like a classic sitcom "NO!!!" Love that memory so much! Hearts to infinity:

If you're around 24th & Mission killing some time, this is a great little watering hole to wet your whistle. It's a straight up street corner dive bar. I think there is trivia night here. The decor is a nice touch.Pro-tip: Don't assume anyone's pronouns

Overall a cool place but the bartender really changes the vibes. Rudely insistent for tips when we weren't done with our drinks and seemed to only behave this way towards my friend and I. Such a let down since the bar itself is quite interesting, but the rude bartender is what's making us not come back.

Fave dive with the best juke booth, themed holiday decor, perfect interior, and strong but cheap drinks. Dog friendly. Appreciate the squeaky clean bathrooms. Good cocktails too if the bartender has time to make them but keep in mind this isn't some fancy cocktail bar.

Large drinks, regulars, amazing jukebox selection, festive decorations, and the friendliest staff ever? Amazing neighborhood dive. Cash only but ATM right inside!

Cute place, cheap beer. A few Fridays ago, me and a friend went, we sat down, they ordered a $4 PBR, paid, got the change, before I even took a sip the bartender goes "so do you never tip your bartender or is it just me" i laughed bc i thought she was joking but she was not. I know it's a dive and gruffness can be part of the charm but it rubbed me the wrong way, we were gonna be there all night so we typically tip at the end of the night. Its a bit different because its cash only so its not like we had a tab, but i still think thats pretty standard. She gave another kid there a hard time too, i absolutely support tipping bartenders, but all this over a dollar? Or even 80 cents? We left after that...

I've been a patient of this unsanitary gross place for 25 years and last night was the last Jumbo straw. I was disrespected and harassed by the transgender bartender upfront, and it was a strangest thing ever. Nobody had my back, including the staff and the owner who I've known for two decades. This is such a sad situation. What I do want to say beyond my experience is overpriced drinks un, sanitary toilets unsanitary sinks, disgusting service horrible circulation. Said don't ever support this crap. It's a complete waste of time and the people that run it and ruin it and staff it with the exception of my favorite guy from San Jose are absolutely pathetic.

Been to this bar off and on over the years. Great jukebox. Strong drinks. Fast bar staff. Unfortunately, the last time I was in there I was alarmed and now I feel sorry for the entire bar staff.My older brother and I decided to get a few drafts and watch the Super Bowl. There were a lot of cute girls in the bar and plenty of food. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. After the game, things died down and a different bartender showed up. I'm pretty sure she usually works Sunday evenings. She's the friendly one with the pinup vibe. She had not been there long and the bald guy with the apron started yelling at her angrily from the back room. I think he's the owner. He'd been there all day and was extremely drunk. You could tell she was trying to avoid him by washing glasses. But he came out to the front and started yelling at her inside of the bar. The music was loud but we could still hear him screaming and swearing at her and she had no where to go. He walked toward her behind the bar and was aggressive.She backed up and it sounded like she was saying "calm down, please let me do my job." My brother and I were concerned. The bald guy was inches from her face, yelling at her. He seemed irrational and I thought there was a chance he might hit her and we'd have to jump in. He finally backed away from her and eventually left for the night. One of the regulars asked her what happened and she said something about a bowl he broke in the back room. She tried to play it off casually. Like it was not a big deal even though she was shaking.A bowl? It's fairly obvious that he was mad about something else because his rage would not be justified even if the bowl were made out of diamonds. I watched her help customers later on and you could tell she wasn't happy but trying to plaster a smile on her face while serving people drinks. No employer should treat their employees this way. What I saw and heard was a verbal assault. I'm hoping this was a rare incident and he apologized profusely to her the next day. Poor thing.

I'm mad!!! Some of the reviews here need to be deleted or updated. Lookie here:The PB&J (Pabst blue ribbon and Jameson) has gone up in price by one dolla. Second: there is no pistachio machine. Huh? i know. What could go wrong with pistachios all over the place right? Lastably: there is no hidden chamber that leads to the underground sex dungeon, anymorePlease get your facts straight. #FakeNews !!!

Beware of the bartender who harasses people for tips! Love the 'vibe' of this bar - from the fairy lights to the humorous vintage tin signs, it's a lovely and comfortable place. However, the extremely low review is for the service and it's a shame that the staff can make this such an unwelcoming place to patron. The handful of times I've visited this bar, I typically end up getting this person with short buzzed hair who wears a paddy hat and plaid (unsure of their gender identity). A few months ago, I ran into the bar needing to use the restroom and I asked politely but urgently and reassured them I'd buy a drink after. They angrily said that if I stepped foot inside I needed to show my ID. While I obviously know the law, I'm over 21 and I had been there before and nearly pissed my pants giving them the ID. Even after an apology (which I shouldn't have given), they roughly said I should know better. Then last month, my friends tried to ask for a cocktail and they didn't know what it was so they explained to her and they yelled at us saying they wouldn't make it. It was my birthday and I didn't want any conflict so we all accepted the rudeness but I purposely didn't tip *a lot* because they - in general - was unpleasant. My favorite part of the night was them coming up to me and my friend and yelling at us in front of everyone and saying that we didn't tip enough. "This is San Francisco and we make our money through tips!" and they actually leaned across the bar and snarled at us. We should have said something in the moment but we were so caught off guard that we didn't react. I absolutely tip every time and would have tipped more in normal circumstances but I purposely didn't because they were rude to us EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you also think that bullying someone into tipping will get you more money or a new regular, you're wrong. How they continue to work there is beyond me - every interaction I've ever had with them has been unpleasant. Even more, it baffles me that the owner is typically at the end of the bar as this happens and acts as if this is absolutely normal! And from the other reviews, it is clear they harass everyone for tips and somehow are still employed there! I'm almost certain the most recent negative reviews are about them. So I don't get it.
