    Pretty empty at 10pm on a Tuesday but more groups came later. Did didn't take a long time. Fried mushrooms were so juicy and delicious. The Mac and cheese is penne pasta and that tastes great too. The burgers and sandwiches are really big and well made, and come with a ton of fries. Overall great stuff. Definitely could come back to eat more food. Thanks!

    Nice friendly bar with good Guinness (3/5 green stars) Quick review today: Durty Nelly’s has perhaps one of the most welcoming storefronts (Barfronts? Facades?) that I’ve ever seen. Bright yellow and blue with window boxes and a red door. Sounds a bit garish but it works. We had Guinness and a few local beers (Anchor, I think, and an IPA), some garlic fries and a cheese toasty with more fries (!). Friendly barman and good atmosphere (although too many TV screens for my liking). I’m also giving them 3/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: • My main problem was that, while Guinness was served in a proper glass, the Anchor and IPA were served in plastic cups (with Bud Light logo). WHY? Update from owner, Odie: they only do this on their two busiest weekends (during Outside Lands and Hardly Strictly). • The barman was helpful in explaining that the curry sauce was not vegetarian, so we ended up with the cheese toasty and fries, being almost the only veggie things on the menu. There’s plenty of vegetarian food in Ireland these days, so why not serve more in an Irish bar? There’s no shortage of vegetarians and vegans in SF.

    Fine. Not sure what the point of the jukebox is, since they play their own music on Spotify. Sucks because they're making money from me playing the songs, but can't hear them. 🥲

    Durty Nelly's in San Francisco is a fantastic Irish pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food and drinks are top-notch.

    Durty Nelly's makes a solid burger, and it came with a ton of fries. All for $11 (The Classic). Next time I'm gonna get the fish and chips. If you try them out, be sure to leave a tip even for pick-up. They still have to pack up your order, and they give you a lot of napkins. Edit: Tried the chicken pot pie. Very savory. The crust was incredibly flaky and light. I don't think it's an everyday item though. Also, keep in mind that prices are always subject to change. 3/17/21 edit: Had the corned beef special and it was great!

    Great neighborhood bar with friendly bartender/mixologist who made us a very nice Long Island Ice Tea on a hot Sunday afternoon. Definitely a great place to grab a pint of draft beer and some pub-grub !

    We stopped there during our last day of our road trip through the USA and had a good evening there. Obviously the karaoke Thursday seems to be very popular. There were lot of people that were disappointed of its spontaneous cancellation. We were a bit too even if we found it just walking by. But eventually some of the guests surprised us with a nice show. Seems to be a place to have a good time! Service and drinks was absolute more than worth it. I‘ll definitely return if I ever get the chance again.

    Simple comfortable Irish pub with authentic publican. Excellent fish & chips. Fireplace pretty but not particularly hot, so I will not get my hopes up on a cold SF evening! But comforting to look at.

    Wonderful place, great people and lots of fun

  • 4/5 NomadShabs 6 months ago on Google
    Cozy Irish bar with a fireplace. Pretty pricey though. $12 for a pour of JW Black seems a bit excessive. Nice crowd though and the staff was friendly

    My wife, kids and I were wandering around Golden Gate Park and got hungry. Found this place…..and so glad we did! Excellent service and the food was great too. What if consider to be a classic Irish Pub.

    Simply the best onion rings I’ve ever had. Good community and family friendly.

  • 5/5 Bryany B. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar has a very traditional, cozy pub feel with dark wood and a fireplace. The food (we had garlic fries, curry fries, onion rings, and burgers) hit the spot. I only wish they hadn't run out of spicy pickles! The hot toddy was lovely on a cold, rainy evening. I'll definitely be back!

  • 3/5 Olivia Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Good prices and the curry fries were delicious. The fly problem was a nuisance and unpleasant having them ruin my beer.

    Excellent ambient. Warm and cozy. Nice time there. Guiness served as it should!

  • 5/5 Connor P. 1 year ago on Google
    SF’s best cozy Irish local. A fireplace, proper Guinness, great Irish whiskey and a scratch kitchen. Honestly, what else could you want.

    Best fish tacos of my life! Friendly vibe and delicious food and drink.

  • 5/5 Cali R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and even better food. Got the panko-breaded mushrooms and the cottage pie. Both came out piping hot and full of flavor. The cottage pie was my favorite, a generous portion of savory comfort food/pub fare that complemented the beer well. It was really nice to relax and just listen to the banter of the regulars as they shared stories and laughs.

    Thursday night Karaoke with KJ Kendo was a lot of fun. Some great singers in the crowd. Bartender kept my glass full and wasn’t shy with the vodka either! Lots of cocktails and some shots!

    While out exploring San Francisco we found ourselves thirty and looking for a fun spot to grab a drink and Durty Nelly’s was near by. What a great spot to grab a drink. Loaded with character and friendly staff. The bartender mixed a delicious drink with a great selection of Irish Whiskeys. I was grateful they had some tequila. They have set up a patio and not sure if this is temporary or if they have plan to keep it. We were there on a pretty cold day and they had the fire going which was very nice to enjoy.
