    Amazing hidden gem in the neighbourhood. Only found it because the cool name stuck out to us on Google maps. Close enough to everything to be convenient, just far enough off the beaten path to feel special. Quick service, super affordable for the city, and a bigger selection of beer I think I've ever seen! Food you order online (we got the punch burger and bratwurst with a poutine) was ready quickly, and was hot and fresh. Perfect for a late night snack as you're tossing back beer. They have a good selection of other cocktails and also make a mean martini!

    Amazing staff, and a great beer selection. The clientele is no longer what one might expect (or remember) zeitgeist to be: there wasn't a single biker or bike messenger present. That said, folks were still kind, and the picnic tables still make sure you're gonna sit next to a stranger on a busy night, and hopefully have a good time.

    Fun “biker bar”, with a really nice (deceivingly large) patio out back. Great beer selection (Untappd-powered menus), and very friendly staff.

    amazing patio perfect for sf summer days tucked away in north mission / market. large selection of beers and other drinks with a pleasantly surprising food menu. nice place to catch up with friends with ample seating. fries: standard fries, nothing amazing brussel sprouts: would skip next time, a little soggy and too sour wings: crispy and well salted. pairs well with the beers.

    really extensive tap list! it’s super organized, too, which makes it easy to pick a beer you love! the pitcher is a great deal. they have a massive patio with big communal tables and a small but tasty menu serving burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, and classic bar snacks. perfect spot to wile away an afternoon.

    The place is nice - Beers - Fair amount of selection of beers and all of them are fresh! Place - First come first. You have to find a table for yourself and order the beers at the bar. Food order is through QR code and online. Once your food is ready you will receive a text and pick it up inside. And clean it when you leave. Food - Burger is awesome! That’s a real burger! The only downside is the toilet needs to be cleaned up. Conclusion - would recommend and come back again!

    Come for the good vibrations. It was busy af on a Sunday with a live band as well but we got lucky and snagged an outdoor table in the corner. It can get pretty crowded and rowdy at at time but that's what you're there for. The food there used a lot of nacho cheese for their stuff but whatever haha I wasn't there for the food. I honestly don't remember much from that day but I'd say that's a good thing LOL

    Lucky to be in the area and stumble upon this bar. Staff was friendly, nice patio atmosphere. I needed to burn sometime to grab lunch and enjoy a cold beer. Most highly noted please experience was the speed of service and fair pricing of beer and food. I highly recommend checking this place out. Will be returning in the future.

    Coolest bar in the city. German style social tables out back, pool table inside, chill fun crowds, they grill great food. And the bar tenders are awesome. Huge local bet menus and killer mixed drinks.

    Great place to go solo or with a group of friends. Amazing outdoor patio. Great positive vibe lots of beers on tap and an amazing hamburger. What more do you need?

  • 5/5 Eddie G. 11 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to come get a beer in the city. Even tho they've moved on from their cash only days, they still maintain a local and friendly vibe. The beer selection is always on point, the inside and outside areas are great, and they even had some kombucha company there the day we were there giving free samples and swag. A live band started playing as we were heading out, wish we had more time to enjoy here.

    This place is a greta spot and has been for years. Loud, noisy and a little dingy. Tons of craft local beer on tap, and the food is good as well. Burgers come "Burt to a crisp of bloody", and they scream your name when the order is ready. Not the cheapest place, but nowhere in San Francisco is really cheap. Really large garden and patio and if you're lucky, the Tamale Lady will show up! Great spot anytime you're in SF.

    One of our favorite places to have some good beer and chill. Out door spaces are great. Wide range of beers are always a plus, and the bar food here is food too. Can’t go wrong with this place! P.S.: Can’t believe I have never review this place after only 10 plus years going here.

    A nice realm, a good choice on beers and nice pub food. A very good place to step by and take a rest while enjoying a beer or some food.

    I haven’t been by in years but they take credit and debit cards now! Great selection of beers, awesome outdoor area with lots of seating, food selections not bad and they have a pool table as well. Glad to have rediscovered it and looking forward to being back soon!

    Loved this place instantly. Has a grunge dive feel but that hides high standards, superb food and a fantastic draft beer range. Staff are superb, friendly, and fast. Couple of decent pinball machines too. Mostly outdoor seating and plenty of shade.

    Isaac, you are a legend! Great place to kick back, drink and chill while listening to a range of punk, rockabilly and metal. Don’t be mistaken, this is a DIVE bar and it’s a great one! It’s been years since coming here last but love it every time. Even during COVID they’ve made it work and the outdoor seating is lively and safe. If you like strong drinks and good music come here.

    This place was very interesting. A bit of a punk feel, if you're into that youll love it. The place had room but it gets extremely full. The food however is pretty awesome, but it does fill the whole place with food smell, which is good for me but maybe not for some people. Drinks were creative as well, had a nice hibiscus drink that hit the spot. Their beer selection is interesting and satisfying. Over all great experience. Only downside is parking - you will have to look around for it, but then again - that's all SF

    Great place to drink beers and enjoy live music!

  • 5/5 kattymae 1 year ago on Google
    Large selection of beers, food was good and can be ordered on your mobile. Love this place for the beer garden, good atmosphere to chill outside with friends for a few drinks and if you smoke, you can out there. I assume used to be cash only from old past reviews but no longer the case. Will definitely return.

    Great beer garden - fun place to sit outdoors and enjoy with friends. The crowd is friendly and ambience is relaxed. Chilled out bar tenders. Fries are pretty great beer snacks. Selection of beer is pretty great too.

    I think dive bar is a pretty accurate description of this place. They have great beers of a large selection. The service is not over the top friendly, but they're doing their job well and not being pretentious. I actually appreciate that. The outdoor beer garden is dope! There is often live music too. Good vibes! I come here a lot.

    COVID has compromised every cool place in SF but Zeitgeist has weathered those changes as well as any. They've created a killer outdoor space that still feels like you're going to your "local." Employees are still surly yet nice. A great mix. And the bands have been topnotch, especially "Crying Time," man they brought it.

    This place is the best!! My phone was going to die and when I mentioned that to the bouncer, she let me know she’d charge it when the customers she was charging was done. Then the bouncer legit came and found me to tell me I could charge my phone. Very helpful and made me feel safe. The place totally rules !!

    Low key place with good food and lots of beer selections. They also have a pool table which is fun and great outdoor seating. One issue that came up was that the guy at the food desk wasn't giving me the time of day and I finally realized that I was supposed to order online after noticing the sticker on the counter.

    20+ years later - even better. There is a massive collection of beers, unbeatable outdoor space and deserves 6 stars since they serve Poutine 😋
