Friends Bar

Bar

👍👍 Our favorite neighborhood bar. We’ve been in SF for almost 8 years and there’s really no place like it. You’ll meet the friendliest folks all around (owner, bartenders, guests). Whether you live in the area or are just visiting, you have to stop by. We love Evelyn and the Friends Bar crew :) People often mention night, owner,

    The name says it all, I’ve only been here a few times but the regulars are always friendly and welcoming. Classic dive bar in the area

    A super welcoming and lovely local bar. Everyone we met inside was incredibly friendly and the four of us had an awesome night because of it. A small place, but still has a pool table, foosball, and a cool outdoor patio. The owner's dogs are adorable as well! Would love to return!

    Good local dive bar for meeting friends or for getting out of the house for a couple of hours but still on waking distance of home. Friendly bartenders and decent drinks on hand.

    This bar is what SF used to be in the good old days. It has a family vibe, the owner is incredible, and the drinks are reasonably priced. A hidden gem.

    The $15 barbeque dinner plate was gourmet quality with generous portions!!! I must put it on my calendar that it's done on Friday, Saturday and Monday. A true hidden gem in SF !!!
