This place is Not a dive. Its real nice and simple. No food but theres food next door.

Absolutely loved this place. Definitely a Local spot. They treated me real good This place is Not a dive. Its real nice and simple. No food but theres 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 youre from out of town.

Please vist safe nice area great people and strong drinks out side near the beach. Stress dripped off me as i sipped my drink there

Just your ideal local bar with killer music and good people, no big deal.

Great Bartenders ...Great Vibes, Well Made Drinks, Plenty of entertainment. Tvs too...

Lovely local watering hole. Stiff drinks and a friendly vibe. Keep San Francisco awesome and have a drink or three at the Riptide.

Very nice people. They have special entertainment days like trivia Tuesday.

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.

Great bartender and quiet from 4pm-6pm.. Good drinks and friendly bartender!

What a great bar. The bar tender is amazing and has a super personality! Will come here again.

Low key clean dive bar with wide range of events each night. The honky tonk night has excellent country music. Its plain awesome.

Its great for any whatever outer sunset plans you have in mind. And if you are actually out to have a good time The Riptide strives to deliver.

Small, inviting spot with a rugged, intimate feel. Friendly, funky staff & good, cash only prices.

The DIY foods are amazing as you are in charge (or at fault for that matter) how amazing the turn out of your food is. Its good for people who dont cook but want to dip their feet with regards of their flavor preferences.

Blonde Toledo was playing!! Nice dive bar!

Cash only. Lovely bartenders. Especially molly. Great history with the community here.

Great local spot for regulars. they have very good food and the pizza is my favorite. great service and very good people.

Cozy local sports great feel clean counters clean bathroom small hole in the wall live singing

Great funky little dive bar, with lots of character (and characters).

Friendly staff, good service fun place

We dropped in for a drink and stayed the whole evening! The Guinness was great, the Bingo was fun, and the people were amazing. Thanks for the jello shots! Take cash and be ready for lots of fun

Cheap drinks, cozy atmosphere, Old Crow for well bourbon.

Cozy bar and a good selection of beers.

Really cool spot to hear some live music. Its a little small so it can get a little crowded, but overall it was a cool place to chill for an hour.

Good prices. Perfect for sports

Love this spot!!! Riptide has a small town bar feel & the bartenders and other staff are awesome. Bingo on Saturdays is super fun & if you get a chance to catch The Honky Tonk burlesque show I highly recommend it!!! Drinks are cheap for SF prices too!

Honestly, pretty pretty good. Atmosphere. Staff. Music. Clientele. Everything worked well together. The locals to whomever. Good good.

Amazing outersunset bar, pleasant crew, decent poor for the price. Local live music. All hardwood interior, has almost a cosy cabin like feel. Defines the quite culture of the San Francisco beach community. A would recommend for any local, and a relaxing evening for any tourist.

Cash only. check the calendar for nightly activities and performances. they recently celebrated their 14th anniversary, after being closed for a few months rebuilding after a fire damaged several business and residential units. while I miss the gnarled Cypress tables, the new interior is crisp and clean. come help as some character to this locals favorite.

Great Sunset Vibe. Live Music. Good Drinks. ++

Douche city dont waste your time

Glad to see it rebuilt after the fire! A cozy spot by the beach with helpful friendly staff. It has live music sometimes . The U shaped layout of the bar creates a narrow bottle neck path from one side to the bathroom on the other. Moving around is hard when crowded but thats true in most bars. Pizza is next door And there is pizza next door. Parking on the side streets wasnt a problem getting to this SF landmark. Go have beer !

Cute bar. Not the crowd Im used to in sf, but it wasnt a bad thing. I think it would be fun to take a small group out if you still want to be able to talk but also you can go dance if you choose. Also note they are cash only. There is an ATM but prepare for atm fees!

Had a wonderful time on Monday night, when I spontaneously wandered in. Daniel was behind the bar rockin it, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It happened to be open mic night, and the audience was enthusiastic and engaged. I to met one of the owners and the bar manager, who were very friendly and hospitable. Overall, this place is a great neighborhood bar, with an equally great staff and customer base

Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Drive out to the Riptide (or take the L Taraval streetcar) by the beach. This cozy joint offers a low key atmosphere. It had burned down, but was resurrected. Im so glad they brought you back!

Tuesday night Karaoke with excellent vibes but can you please take credit card. It could help bring in more business atleast mine.

This is a hidden spot on taravel. its great place to go for a few quick ones to start off your night. People were friendly there was a doorman which is a good thing in my opinion. Toilets were so so. Music was good and loud and there was a good DJ spinning with plenty of peeps up boogying. Id go back in a flash

Great place, cold beer and super sound vibes!

Check out the monday night open mic hosted by Charlie!

Very friendly atmosphere. They treat you like family. Amazing bartender; unique and tasty drinks.

Too crowded- the venue feels intimate- but the noise level actually requires yelling to carry on a conversation with the person right next to you.

Great live band and great atmosphere! A fun little bar!

Great beer prices, karaoke every day, has a great neighborhood bar vibe, but tourists feel welcomed

Five stars for being a locals dive bar on the ocean every day when theres not bingo. No stars for bingo day (Saturday). Bingo is not fun nor funny. Bingo is a game without strategy. Bingo sucks. But the riptide mostly rules.

Quiet cozy neighborhood bar laid back cash only

Cool and chill spot. Cost of drinks is not bad

Great place to go unwind

Great atmosphere and good food :)

Deep in the sunset with the best pizzeria a couple doors down. My favorite tandoori wings, only place to get them in town!

Great bar, great drinks, great music. I felt compelled to write a review because I got drinks this past Saturday night and then promptly tripped on the step behind the bar (watch out for that!) and smashed the glasses and drinks. Apologized profusely to security and got ready to buy new drinks, but instead security made sure I was okay and told me not to worry about it, and then the bartender made me all new drinks at no extra cost and gave me a shot of Fireball for free. Really lovely staff and great atmosphere

Welcoming local bar with strong beverages.

Bad customer experience. Walked in with my bro and no one attended us for at least 15 minutes. Go to the bar across the street, its way better and friendlier.

Neighborhood bar with live music and decent prices. Popular with the locals. Nice to have a decent bar so far out of the main strips in SF.

Fun and free bingo night on Saturdays!

Cool place to see right up against the beach

Fun seaside bar, great bar-top burlesque, tasty drinks and friendly, knowledgeable bar staff.

Best little place Ive seen in a while please tip your bartender

If you every find yourself way the heck out in the outer sunset, like i mean, 3 blocks from the ocean, look this place up. Every night they have some sort of happy hour munchies out for people to eat. Its either make your own nachos, or DIY grilled cheese or hot dogs. Its pretty awesome. Think of the inside of an Elk lodge and you have the interior decor of Riptide. They show sporting events on the big screen, As, Giants who ever is playing that night. I go there after work sometimes with coworkers and its such a cool neighborhood bar.

Just as awesome as always. Theyve done a great job of restoring after the fire and still has the same riptide vibe and attitude.

Fun little venue!

Great locals joint, fun time!

Friendly local neighborhood bar in the sunset with live music

Another great little neighbourhood bar

Cozy local dive bar with a big history.

Karaoke Tuesdays!!!!There is so much happening here at The Riptide! They have lots of live music, parties and other fun events here all week long! Im super excited about Karaoke! I love singing for a bunch of drunk people. Not only do I look better when youre drunk, but I sound exactly the same when I sing. The bartenders here are all really nice and they are quick to get you a drink. It is cash only like so many other places, but they have an ATM machine inside and there is another one at the liquor store nearby. It is a dive bar but its fun and clean...well as clean as a dive bar can get.

Loved the HotBuns Burlesque show.

This local classic burned down a year ago or so but theyve done a great job rebuilding to keep the surfer dive bar vibe going and always good live bands.

Great decor, good drinks

Made me feel like I was in my very own living room.

Really dig this bar even though not fond of bars in general. Play some interesting Rock that I dont listen to. The hip hop I tolerate with another extra apple cider. Gotta a silent crush on the bartender with all the tatoos!

The Riptide is a good local bar for a not-so-fancy drink. I tend to stick to beer here as the mixed drinks arent anything to write home about. They have some great live music and the bar does get pretty hoppin on those nights. Get there early to snag a table.

As a dive bar, the RIP tide is fun. But dont go there on Tuesday karaoke night. The KJ starts out fair, but one she gets drunk and her friends come in, you wont get a song in. And they are all tone def knuckleheads that scream into the microphone. The kj will announce who is next, and continually skip that person in favor of her friends. Pathetic management that is aware and allows this to happen.

Great spot. A little far so plan to stay a while.

Awesome neighborhood bar. Great place to get a taste of the local vibe.Entertainment every night with karaoke, DJs or live music. Unique cocktail menu with great prices and always something good on special.

Great dive bar with specials every night. Awesome staff and good company.

Very friendly staff and good atmosphere

A grown man that calls himself coyboy need I say more

True drinkers come here.

Such a fun bar.

Always have a stellar time. People are so friendly and nice.

Small and comfy. Free food Friday happy hour

Lord its aweful. Measure my review knowing Im in from out of town. Im positive Tuesday night karaoke is much better than what I saw (no one ainging). However the biggest problem was Tara who is clearly popular with locals...but not new faces. She cleared my drink when she came on shift and I didnt see her again untill I begged for water over a half hour later..mshe had poured at least 2 dozen drinks in between btw. Place is very nice though-clean bathrooms and a bar top/ambianve that speaks touch nicer things than a dive. However due to poor service I had to walk back across the street to riptide. Significantly better service, and premium cocktails-even if at a higher, more worthwhile prive.Visitors beware

Great place for a young person

Cool bar!

Best By The Beach Bar!! Wonderful people, awesome kick ass Bartenders, fireplace...did i mention like 100 feet from the Beach?

Smallish bar in the far Outer Sunset with a great karaoke night - and pizza next door.

Chilll neighborhood spot, hung out on a Thursday night, great dj spinning a nice variety of r&b, easy walk to the beach ... nice night.

I like this bar, always something a little different happens here day to day. Everyone is is very nice.

Casual neighborhood beer joint.

Really fun cocktail bar. Nicely made drinks.

Awe great Sunset place, friendly, quality product and service.

Fun local bar out in the sunset district. Good selection of craft beers on tap.

Fun atmosphere, great vibe, fantastic bar tempter, definitely would recommend

Great live music in the Outer Sunset. What else can I say. Ok. One more thing. And they make the spiciest and best bloody marys in the universe!

Fun local bar. Fireplace is perfect for cold sf nights

Nice little neighborhood bar near the beach and the Muni. Note it is a cash only bar.

Thw worst place ever, the waiter wouldn’t even let us worked anything even if we should our ID’s.

Cash only. The fire pit is awesome. Really homey feeling bar

Great local haunt and all around fun place to hang out!!

4th Sunday of the month with the Seducers! Always a good time
