San Francisco Athletic Club

I didn't eat here but this is a great place to watch the games. There are tvs for pretty much every angle. The ambiance is chill. They have a great selection of liquors and some good beer on tap. The service was great. We sat at the bar. All the bartenders checked on us randomly. They are known for their wings. They smelled good. Also the garlic Parmesan fries smelled good too.

They have TVs everywhere you look and great music so if you're there for ambiance and watching sports games, it's the perfect place. If you're there for high quality food, that's not this place. Drinks:Their Micheladas are some of the best I've ever tried and I've even had some in Mexico. The Southern Sour Smash cocktail is strong and a small quantity for $14 but it is SF... The Gameday Gimlet tastes wonderful and slightly floral, likely from the gin. Food: The Brussel sprouts appetizer is amazing: crispy with a sweet soy sauce glaze, sesame seeds, and a side yuzu aioli sauce. Their waffle fries are crispy on every edge and tasty. The chimichurri wings sounded amazing but they were a bit of a let down. The burger was average quality and I wouldn't say I recommend it. The red and gold salad was great because it was a large quantity and nice texture with the farro and cubed beets but the candied pecans felt like regular pecans. I think quinoa would be a great addition to this salad. The vanilla ice cream and brownie dessert was good but nothing you couldn't do at home. I would add another ball of vanilla Hagen Daz ice cream to this since the brownie is quite large. The brownie is very warm which is a nice touch. Service:The service is attentive and timely! They don't even have to write down your order and come often to check in on you for any further orders. The menu is on a QR code at every table. Check this place out to watch sports games for sure!

Friendly and attentive staffs and great atmosphere. As for the food, I found that the frickles, loaded fries were on the saltier side. The Brussels sprouts were good and the burger probably would get again. Chill vibes for happy hour with friends or after work to grab a beer and watch sports tv.

Came here with a buddy of mine who was in town visiting to watch some football so here I am.We sat at the bar and ordered a few expresso martinis. We also shared some nachos. The expresso martinis were pretty good. The nachos were okay, nothing special. The service here was decent. The bartenders here are really cool. The sports bar has a lot of bar seating, table seating, and TVs available. You can also reserve a table in advance which multiple people did for game day. The place can be a bit rowdy on game day but it's expected haha. All in all a decent sports bar with great drinks, and serviceable bar food. Try it out if you like. :)

Good solid burger and waffle fries. Like the atmosphere. Plenty of TVs to watch games!

Went here Saturday for the Golden State Valkyries watch party of the WNBA Al Star Game. Everyone there was so kind. The vibe was great. The food was surprising really good. I ordered chips and guac for the table and it was good. Then I got a black bean burger on a ciabatta roll, with Swiss cheese and fries. All of which was delicious to the last bite. I would gladly come back for another event.

As you enter the bar, you are surrounded by many TV screens and ample seating with friendly staff - menus are available on the QR codes shown on the tables. I ordered a plate of nachos and it was a great amount for two people plus a drink! We felt pretty satisfied after one plate, and will have to try the other menu items next time. I can see how this place can get very busy during a sporting event, or even when they aired the finale of the bachelorette hahah!!

The SFAC was definitely my friend group's bar of choice for the first couple of months when we first moved nearby but has now fizzled out due to the closing of the side beer garden space, high prices, and mid food dishes.I do appreciate having a dedicated sports bar in this area that's open all day and is an okay size (on certain game days, it can be PACKED though). I personally try to avoid it on major game days as best I can but it's alright to watch smaller games. I mostly came for trivia but the clunky reservation system with a high minimum to spend was getting too costly and inconvenient when my friends and I would go almost every week. There is a pool table inside but it's usually always in use.I have been devastated that the side outside area next to Starbucks has closed down as the inside space is just a little too loud, dark, and crowded for me. There is some covered sidewalk tables and they bring out 3 TV's to watch the games, but it's next to the busy intersection of Divisadero & Bush so it's just not that enjoyable for me.The food definitely looks very delicious for bar food but the taste has never amazed me, especially for the price if you don't go at a time with a special deal. My usual go-to starting group order was to get frickles (fried pickles) and a beer pitcher to share. I enjoyed their sports-themed cocktails & usually got the Peach Fuzz and Pimm's Cup.Overall I do appreciate the space and do continue to pop in occasionally with big groups but I would prefer to go to a different space for sports occasions

Great place to kick it. Popular place to catch games after work with the seemingly endless health care staff from ucsf and Kaiser. It can get rowdy and loud at times which is a bonus IMO. What's a sports bar without some tension- shrugs***The service was really quick and the staff was attentive to customers. 3 stars solely because the food was mid and the beer was really watered down. It reminded me of the days in college with bud-light esq taste. The place is okay and it seems the only reason we come is out of convenience for proximity

No matter your team there is a TV for you - went on a football Sunday and it was pretty busy but we were still able to find a spot. They have plenty of individual group tables and communal tables (they have a section of old wooden bleachers in the back to sit at). Overall it's a super cute sports bar. They have a cute list of cocktails that all sounded pretty good, it was cold out so I got a Hot Toddy. The garlic fries had plenty of garlic and came with two dips. The food was typical upscale bar food. The service was good-it seemed that it was table service but it was pretty hard to find our server - so I am not really sure if it would have been better to order at the bar or if that was frowned upon. The infrequent service was the only downside- it was busy and the people were super nice, but if they are doing table service and I'm not supposed to order at the bar it should have been a little easier to find our server.
