    Had a blast at this place. My brother brought us here while we were visiting. We got to enjoy bingo night and had alot of fun. It was cool to learn about how they burned down an were rebuilt. If I lived in the area I could definitely see myself coming here alot. I especially enjoyed how we could get a pizza drop next door and eat it while drinking. Definitely a place to visit.

    Absolutely loved this place. Definitely a Local spot. They treated me real good This place is Not a dive. It's real nice and simple. No food but there's food next door. Good pizza place they said. You can see the Pacific Ocean when you walk out the front. Watch out for the Ticket Ninjas! The got me for $110. Watch where you park especially if you're from out of town.

    Step right into the Riptide, where everyone is embraced with open arms! Nestled in the charming Sunset neighborhood, this beloved spot had faced adversity when it was tragically burned down some years ago. But fear not, for it has been beautifully rebuilt, preserving the authentic spirit of San Franciscan happiness, and continues to serve as a cherished gathering place for the entire community. Discover the magic of live music and entertainment every night of the week, ensuring there's never a dull moment at the Riptide. Make sure to drop by and convey my warm regards with a big smile! 😊

    Great little bar in the outer sunset with a good tap selection and some fun open mic acts. There was also a lady with a cat sitting on the bar stools. Great place!

    My favorite bar in my favorite city! Great, professional bartenders make great standard cocktails. You can step outside for a moment and relax to the sound of the Pacific ocean! Reminds me of a place in Chicago called the Leadway. Leadway?

    Small neighborhood bar with country western theme. Did not appear to be any service help this weeknight but bartender was quick and helpful. Several beers on draft and a full selection of liquor. Various nightly specials . Cash only. Background music app N Loud for casual conversation, apparently live bands sometimes. Nice place all told., will go back.

    Come spend some quality time and this OUTSTANDING dive bar at the end of the western world. The staff and patrons are friendly, the drinks and stiff and the dogs are welcome. It's a chill environment where you can sit back and relax either inside or in the parklet. Don't bring your attitude or pretensions and just chill. See you there

    If White Cap is a little too posh for you, head across the street to the Rip Tide for classic beach dive bar vibes. Excellent atmosphere, live music on Sunday nights and stumbling distance from beautiful sunsets on the beach! Pretty average prices for the city, and it features a nice parklet to sit inβ€” bring a coat! I don't think they're doing any indoor seating these days.

    The Sunset is blessed with great neighborhood bars. Nothing fancy, just cold beer, good drinks, plenty of whiskey, and a no-nonsense clientele of locals. One of my favorite bars in the city, and a nice spot for karaoke on Tuesdays too

    Riptide is a cute little venue with plenty of events. A great place to go on Monday nights when they have live artists performing by signup.

    I recently visited The Riptide, a surf-themed bar in the Outer Sunset area of San Francisco, and I was blown away by my experience. This bar is located just blocks away from the beach, and the surf-inspired atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing evening out. The drinks at The Riptide are delicious and well-priced, and the staff and service are top-notch. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly, and they take the time to make sure you're happy with your drink. The service is fast and efficient, and the staff are always ready with a smile and a recommendation. The atmosphere at The Riptide is chill and inviting, with surf-inspired decor and a laid-back vibe. There's plenty of seating indoors and when outside you get a perfect view of the beach. Whether you're looking for a place to grab a drink with friends, or just want to relax and unwind after a long day, The Riptide is the perfect spot. In conclusion, if you're looking for a surf-themed bar with great drinks, friendly staff, and a laid-back atmosphere, The Riptide in the Outer Sunset area of San Francisco is the place to be. I highly recommend this bar, and I will definitely be returning in the future. Five stars!

    This place is great! There is always something happening everyday of the week. The atmosphere is typically nothing crazy, just a good time. The clientele is nice too, nothing seedy everyone is respectful of each other and the staff from what I have seen. The drinks are reasonably priced and they have a decent selection of draft beers and a full bar. The staff is fast friendly and accommodating to your requests. No food only chips for $1 Dogs friendly

    We arrived a little after sunset, pulled up a booth, had a refreshing (& affordable!) beer, and rolled out a little before 6:30 when they were getting (free! with prizes) bingo started. We considered staying to play, but had a date with dumplings in our tracks :p We’ll def be back for bingo the next Saturday we catch a sunset at Ocean Beach. Seems like plenty of events throughout the month. Dog friendly! Fun lil neighborhood watering hole!
