Question Mark Bar

A Hidden Gem in SoMa - Question Mark BarPosting this review because I feel like I've struck gold here in SoMa! Question Mark Bar has been around for about two years, and let me tell you, owner Jeremy is an absolute gem.Since the pandemic, foot traffic in the area has dropped a lot, and it hurts my soul to see amazing spots struggle--so I had to share this in case you're looking for a great vibe, delicious food, and strong drinks.They host Trivia Night on Thursdays, and this place is perfect for small private events with a full bar and top-tier food. Plus, karaoke is available on demand, so if you're feeling bold, you can turn any night into a party.I stopped by for Taco Tuesday, slammed four tacos, and already can't wait for next week. If you're in SoMa and haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor and check it out!

This place has an undeniable vibe. That's in no small part to the owner Jeremy, whose whimsical touches and sweet dog really enliven the place. I felt like a regular on my first visit there. Sidenote to gigging musicians: there is a nice stage in the back and Jeremy is easy to work with on booking performances.Also worth mentioning that although this is a bit out there in Soma, there is tons of free parking across the street. The kitchen turns out good, comfortfood, excellent wings, and rotating soups .

Great service! Awesome happy hour deals! Dog friendly! Stopped by during my visit in SF, and enjoyed my time here.Try the french fries

If you're looking for a bar with a unique, San Francisco vibe, look no further than Question Mark Bar! It's got that magical, Burning Man-esque energy that makes it feel like you're stepping into a different world. Jeremy, the owner is a most excellent host!The eclectic atmosphere is perfect for anyone looking to have a good time. Whether you're hanging out in one of the cozy nooks or dancing the night away, there's always something exciting happening. The staff are friendly, always making you feel welcome, and there's karaoke nights --whether you're a pro or just singing for fun, it's a great time for everyone. It's a sweet neighborhood spot that's worth the trip! Nice Dogs are welcome!

We went there for valentines night and they had free salsa classes , which made our evening . Couldn't have asked for a better way to spend V-day. The cocktails were ok, and the beer was good but the bartenders were very friendly and cool. Seems like their trivia and karaoke nights will be interesting too

This place is one of sf hidden gems. I walked and it smelled nice and clean not like mold and cigarettes. Staff was friendly. I only ordered fries to go. Now this is $5 worth of fries. I was only passing through the area but would love to come back. Nice drink selection as well.

I went for lunch on a Tuesday. Mostly empty, one server and plenty of empty spots. Interior was a bit dark lighting wise. I wish the tables were a little less sticky. Some quiet conversations and light music. Most of the seating is booth-style seats or at the bar.The price felt great for the food I got. I got a chicken tortilla soup and fish and chips. Both items were great, with the soup hot and flavorful, and the fish and chips crispy. There's a 10% discount if you're eating there while on jury duty. Convenient, as it's right next to the criminal court.There's a lot of the place which hints it's more lively in the later hours, including posters for bar trivia and a karaoke spot.

Food - Get anything that involves tots. I could eat those suckers until my mouth is raw. Frito pie is also a special callout here. Not only is it hard to find in the city, it's actually good. All of the menu items have a lot of thought put into them and I have yet to try anything here I didn't enjoy. Taps rotate but there is always a good balance of options. You aren't going to get stuck between picking 1 of 7 IPAs.Service - Jeremy and the rest of the crew are always friendly and attentive. If you become a regular, they are going to know you by name and update you with the new things they have going on. Ambiance - Classic neighborhood bar feel but well kept. There is something for just about everybody here. Check with them for the different things they have planned throughout the week. They have everything from karaoke and trivia to speed dating and a jukebox. In addition to that, if there's a local game on, it's going to be playing here. This is a great alternative to some of the super crowded bars closer to the stadiums. Misc - You need to ring the doorbell for entry so don't panic if it takes them a few seconds to let you in.

What a great bar and restaurant! I had a few minutes before reporting for jury duty and it was the perfect pick me up. A cold beer and their Friday "frito pie" special was awesome (they import the chili from New Mexico where the owner is from). The menu has a lot of options and it's a great vibey little spot in SOMA. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Great bar with a varied food menu. I heard at one time the courthouse folks stopped coming when there were staffing issues. Come back - they're fully staffed! Great owner and staff. Well decorated. Once in a while the resident dog is there.
