Trax

I hadn't been to this little dive bar in the Haight, but a friend suggested it so we went! Sat at the bar, had some Mescal, and enjoyed great service from the friendly bartender. This isn't really a spot for finding a hookup... but a lovely spot for a good drink and conversation :)

Very sweet. Nice to meet Andy the bartender today. Having lived in SF for over 20 years, I have often walked by but never ventured inside until today, the day of the 2nd Trump inauguration in 2025. Refreshing to see real people, not republicans (like at Harry's bar a mile away) chilling out, drinking like tomorrow will come but not too soon. Happy to live in SF, listening to the music, not TV. Ambiance is pure dive bar, dark but clean, historic without resting on it's "coolness", can't believe how lucky I am to be in SF, CA around folks who don't worry about how much money they will make off the backs of regular people. Thanks! Andy is a sweetheart!

Ah, Trax! A quirky spot on Haight where you can sip on $3 beers all night thanks to their fabulous "Trax Tuesday" deal. It's like finding a treasure chest in your backyard--except it's full of beer and not gold.Now, while the beer flows cheaper than a Netflix subscription, you might find yourself engaged in the bar's most popular game: Queueing for the loo. Yes, there's just one bathroom, so plan your strategy as carefully as a chess master or risk the bladder blitz.And about the tunes--there's no jukebox. The playlist is at the mercy of the bartender's aux cord prowess. So, if your music tastes align with theirs, you're in luck. If not, you might find yourself reminiscing about the good old days of coin-operated music machines.A word to the wise: keep an eye on your tab. I was overcharged once, which felt a bit like finding a Monopoly card that says "bank error in your disfavor." It's a minor hiccup in what could otherwise be a smooth sail.Trax is a charming dive with wallet-friendly prices and a sprinkle of unpredictability, earning it a solid three-star rating. Pop in for a beer, stay for the budget-friendly buzz, and enjoy--or endure--the playlist potluck!

I got kicked out for not tipping enough, came in with a group they all got beers I got a couple glasses of water cause we had already drank at another bar I tipped the bartender but he told me he wanted at least 3$ and then kicked me out. Beware the greedy rockabilly bartender

Fun funky and really good drink pricesFriendly bartenders Great location and fun vibe Old school bar

Vibes are lit because music is really good.Bar is basically packed - $1000 cover is the joke here LOLThey also have a pool table which costs $2 per game.I like it here, recommend with respect :)

Unless your trying to get jumped by a bunch of lil 21 boys who can't play pool don't come here. Came in earlier today in a happy mood visiting for the week. Had two drinks played one game of pool. I seen a younger crowd come in. Didn't think anything of it. They started playing pool right after. Played there game and a team lost., made a huge deal because they didn't want to share the pool table. Stupid bartender had their back when they were being super disrespectful. Grown men taking shit to me as if they were female. Overall experience don't go here if you WANT TO GET DISRESPECTED FOR NO REASON!!!!!!!!! If I could give zero I would!!!! Do not spend money here !!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome dive bar! We just happen to walk by and decided to stop in for a drink. The bar was not too crowded and finding a place to hang out in was easy. The ambience was casual and I definitely see why locals frequent this spot. The bartenders were very personable, entertaining, and a joy to have a conversation with. Drinks were heavy poured and the prices were cheap compared to what we pay back home. They had a diverse mix of music and crowds. There's a pool table at the end of the bar. I recommend the corner bench seat which has nice view of the whole bar and also a prime spot for people watching. We've vowed come back to this bar whenever visiting San Francisco. This place is a combination fun, friendly, and lively. It's also a nice alternative to the Castro bars.

I had the displeasure of visiting this establishment and encountered what can only be described as the epitome of poor service. The bartender's attitude from the moment we stepped foot inside was rude and bizarre. Not only were we immediately pressured to order drinks, but when we requested a mere ten minutes to decide, the bartender rolled their eyes as if it was an inconvenience. I was the designated driver for me and my friends tonight so I was not getting anything and he kept staring at our group saying we all needed to get drinks or else we can't hang out-- even though everyone except me had a tab open.Later on, we were then rudely informed that "it would be appreciated if we closed out because we've been here for hours." I guess we supposedly overstayed our welcome. Mind you, the establishment was still open for several more hours.Overall, the bartender treated us as if we were unruly drunks when, in reality, we were nothing but courteous guests engaging in conversation with one another. As individuals working in the customer service industry ourselves, we were appalled by the lack of professionalism displayed. We all felt so uncomfortable that we left.Also, the presence of mice scurrying about only added to the overall dismal experience. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this establishment.

We popped in on a whim so we could warm up and use the restroom. We bellied up to the bar and enjoyed the company of our uber friendly bartender. We loved it so much that we had a second round of drinks. I ordered a Mimosa and then a Screwdriver. I was surprised, but the Screwdriver was my favorite. Both were strong and perfectly balanced. My husband just had a rum and Coke. He was satisfied with his drink. In fact, he's totally why we stayed for the second drink! The restroom was reasonably clean as well as locked (understandable). You need to ask for the key. Yelp labels it as a gay bar | dive bar. We didn't know it was a gay bar, nor did we care. I learned later that it is the the longest-running gay bar in the Haight-Ashbury area. However, it is indeed a dive bar, which we really liked! Dark, hard wood finishes-gives you a cozy feel on a cold Sunday afternoon.
