Decent dive bar but not good for covid times. The bar was understaffed and cleanliness wasnt prioritized.

Relaxed environment thats usually not too crowded. Live bluegrass music on Sundays and kareoke on Fridays. Fair selection of drinks at decent prices with a good selection of house cocktails. They have a pool table thats first come first serve. Come here if youre looking to hang with the locals.

Terrible covid19 safety measures. No gloves. The bartender kept removing their mask. Two people were sitting at the bar having drinks.It may have been a nice local bar if times were different, but during a pandemic while others are working so hard to reopen California safely it was disheartening to see such disregard for public safety.My drink was strong but it basically tasted like a shot of cheap vodka with a lime squeezed in.Brats tasted okay, but took a long time to be ready as they had not warmed up the grill beforehand and my partners was still a bit cold in the middle and did not come with the condiments we requested.

Drink was terrible, food took 30min and wasnt served as ordered. They told a regular they are only serving food to be open during covid; it shows. Store employee parked, illegally, in a handicap spot and went inside to work. Employees were also taking shots of Jameson in the back. Mask were not being worn correctly.

This bar supports Live Music, nice folks on both sides of the bar . A real neighborhood institution. Bluegrass on Sunday from 4-7 pm all for free. Its a cash only place.

We were looking for a fun The Lucky Horseshoe Friday night. Got there for happy hour, and place was pretty empty but drinks were good and priced well, ambience was cute and service was friendly. Got the feeling things might liven up later in the evening, but we didnt last that long. ...

I was there on a Wednesday night for my pool league. It started off quiet which was a nice introduction for this bar. Then a band showed up and played live music which was a nice backdrop. Despite the amount of people the service was still spot on. I had a good first time experience. Its a cash only bar but, they do have an ATM. The drinks are reasonably priced as well. I would recommend this bar.

Locals/dice bar. Can either have very fast or incrediy slow service depending on who is bartending. Beer on tap often tastes a bit off.

Karaoke night is a ton of fun. Lots of interesting characters show up to belt out tunes with gusto and varying degrees of talent. This is a friendly, fun, dive bar that offers a pure slice of quintessential SF.

I went to a jam there on a Wednesday night jam night. Its a small, comfortable local bar which is friendly. Jams vary from night to night but its usually very good there. So tell your friends and get over there for some good music on Wednesdays. Prices are very reasonable. Its very informal and pleasant. Check it out when youre inclined.

Good, comfortable spot. They have arcade games and a pool table. 2 bathrooms and a huge round bar. They had a small stage and a little schedule pamphlet too. They have live music from local bands.!! Generous servings also..... #Bomb

For whatever reason, the bartender seemed like shed rather be somewhere else and wasnt personable. On top of that after being in the bar for several hours I was told I had to pay $15 to stay because a cover band was playing. It ruined what started off as a fun beginning.

This is a spacious dive bar off am already great street. They offer a great selection of beer including sours and have plenty of seating. There are pool tables towards the back and live music plays upfront. The night I arrived here, dj Heidi was there spinning some older hits on vinyl. Not your typical music, but very welcome.

Local spot that is great for watching a ball game. Drinks arent as cheap as other places. The Friday karaoke night is better on the early side when the hidden vocal talent hits the mic.
