We happened to book a hotel next door to here which was cool. They have a great selection of beers on and the food was good too. They have lots of arcade games, pool and shuffle board. Really cool place. Also lots of ty's and 2 massive big screens for watching sport.

The location is great. The beers on tap are great. Excellent place to watch a game.The fries were cooked to a crisp but the fish was good. I will come back again.

Good beer food not so much. Boneless wings hard as a rock and all breading. Took me walking around to find ranch. Calamari was also almost all breading. Won’t come back

Good place to watch a football game and good beer selection but don’t except anything else. Just pretty straight up terrible service. I don’t know if it was just our particular waitress, but she barely checked in, food ticket was “lost by the kitchen” and only brought to our attention when we flagged her down 45 minutes after ordering 1 thing, and then gave us a check with mistakes on it

I went there after Christmas so yea the place was a disaster. The floor had alcohol spilled everywhere and was sticky. We went there to eat some food and got ourselves 18 or 24 set of fried chicken wings with ranch and hot sauce, the three stars is for the food and interiors. The place is too loud for me during weekends so I can't do that but the ambiance I have to admit is Dope! I might go back here sometime, give this place a second chance.

A sports fan's haven! Ever been to Dave and Busters? This place is similar but more bar-centric with a lot of seating and TVs...everywhere with 3 mini movie screen sized ones. The games (pay to play) at this place are a bonus. The food and the drink options are fitting for this tap room!

Extraordinary wide selection of beers, lager, IPA, sours and more. Charming bar staff, at least the female version. I loved it. True it was 3pm, it wasn't busy, we had time to chat but it ticked all the boxes. We'll known to the locals obviously, this is a note to the tourists who like beer... It is the best bar I found during my swashbuckling 2 day mini-tour. If they moved it to London it would take the city by storm. Cheers.

Not exactly hip and usually a lot of tourists from the square, but it has extremely reasonable prices, a ton of space, and GREAT fried chicken.

Cheap bar food and drinks (by SF standards). Fun bar for pool and watching sports with friends. Missed the happy hour, but I think they have one daily from 4-6. For travelers, the location is good too - central, and near a BART station.

Sports bar with table games, good beer selection and decent food but nothing fancy. It all works for the vibe. And good prices for SF.

Great spot to watch a game. Huge beer lost and decent food. Went here for a MNF game and they have huge screens and the sound on. I got the fried chicken with buffalo sauce, which was very fresh but could probably use a little more of a kick. Fries were also kind of cold, but overall good experience. I'll definitely be back.

It was all right. Beer was kind of flat. Food was average. My wife had been here before and remembered everything being pretty good. I on the other hand had not been here before. This was my first time. She told me that it was not as good as she remembers. Maybe new ownership.

Stopped by to hang out and watch some football. They have a great selection of beers. The food is pretty good as well, lots to choose from. The service was top notch. But come early if you want good seats...place fills up quick.

Attended a corporate evening event here. The (buffet) food was pretty grim, mostly fried stuff, not much for vegetarians. The real issue here is that the beer selection is not good at all, and the vast majority of it is very high strength, 6-12 %. This does not make for a good 'session'....

Forget this place!!! DO NOT go here if your watching a Pay Per View event! Called and checked website and there was no mention of any cover charge. I arrived and they stated "$25, its subject to change and its Standing room only" If your watching a PPV go somewhere else. Crooks!

Excellent for watching sports. They have multiple screens and you can watch from anywhere. That said it's just plain too loud if you're not watching sports, terrible acoustics, and i really dislike being carded and stamped in order to enter. Tons of beer on tap! And a beer roulette if you can't decide.

Loved everything about this place except the service. Food was great, the drink list is large, and there's tons of fun games to play. It wasn't too busy when we were there and I would like to come back. That being said, our waitress looked annoyed and it took forever to get our drinks.

PROS-Better DJ for real old school hip hop than you find at a club!! Also, drinks good and strong!! Games were fun...did I say DJ was terrific?!CONS-they got our food order wrong and the Male food runner with the pink hair had an attitude. The truffle mac & cheese was NOT good.

Most fun bar time watch games in SF! It’s huge — 3 stories, and it’s almost like an arcade so there are also games and other things to do. Screens are plastered everywhere so you can’t miss the game, and it’s sometimes nice to be somewhere in SF where it’s not super stuffy or small. Expect large crowds during big games.

Great vibes in a large, easy to find Union Square location. Large selection of beers, loads of arcade and bar games including pool tables and plenty of TV's. Kitchen closes at 11p, so I didn't get to try the food, but the atmosphere was wonderful and tons of fun. Parking is nearby at Union Square Garage. Great for groups and casual date nights. Highly recommended.

My first real American Sports Bar, and I wasn’t disappointed until the food arrived, well almost. My SO ordered from the menu and was told that it’d be an extra $1 for a side that was clearly included, “oh, that’s an old menu”, WTaF!? Why is it on the table?My burger was ordered without onion, the first pic is most of the onion I managed to pick off it plus the glass that has been on our table since we got here (both clearly drinking beer, not whatever the hell that is). The bun on my burger was also dry aF, not great but the filling was pretty good and I was hungry enough to eat it rather than send it back, not that the waitress was too attentive once she had the credit card. Overall, the vibe and set up are awesome, just need to fix the kitchen and some of the staff (bar staff were awesome though!)

I brought a newbie here last week and he totally enjoyed as i knew he would and should. Great beers on tap. Lively atmosphere, and chill patrons. Thus joint can get really packed on big game days or special sporting events.

Ordered a beer t the bar from the list in the wall, by name. Was handed a beer menu. No explanation. Thought the beer I wanted was out. Ordered something else...great...bottled. Who orders a bottle in a tap room? Oh well, at least it was good. Got a sandwich and while I was finishing that a waitress dropped by with beer and food menus. She then spent an hour at the waitress station at the end of the bar gabbing with the other waitresses. Never returned. Never asked if I wanted anything else. They’re not even busy. Finally left for a place where I can get a beer. Could die of thirst in this place. Good spot to open a bar.

Terrible service, I won't be back :(Servers do not care about their tables. Took us 40 mins to try to pay for our bill... Not a joke. Very poor experience that could easily be elevated with new servers.Bar tenders are very friendly but unfortunately, they are not the front line. Great work bartenders on trying to hold everything together!

I was not feeling this place at all. Too hot inside. As soon as we walked in I was already freaking sweating UGH! Loud and some of the waitresses were rude. It was a bit crowded so the waitresses had a hard time maneuvering but they don't have to be rude about it. I do like the fact they had plenty of security walking around to make sure things don't get out of hand but it was just a big NO for me.

Good beer selection but the food. Oof. The food is not good. Avoid the truffle mac n cheese. It tastes like they added about a tablespoon of truffle oil to a half a cup of mac n cheese. They messed up my order and it's a good thing because the fries that I did get were cold.. but then it was replaced by the truffle madness that is their "truffle" mac n cheese. Go here for drinks, go somewhere else for food.
