Buckshot Bar and Gameroom

The undisputed bar-game capital of San Francisco, this divey bar's got pool, darts, the Big Buck Hunter arcade game, shuffleboard, board games and, amazingly, skeeball; it's like Chucky Cheese for grown men, with $2 Tecates.

La Trappe

This Belgian ale-house in North Beach has a stone cellar full of pews where you and your homies can worship any one of the 100+ meticulously crafted, esoteric European brews available...or pound them like the shirtless meatheads of Lake Havasu.

Cigar Bar and Grill

This spot is extremely mancentric--a humidor full of stogies you can fire up wherever you like, pool tables, baby back ribs, etc.--but because of the beautiful outdoor patio and great North Beach location, it also attracts something else you and your buddies might be looking for: women.

Kezar Pub & Restaurant

With fifteen TVs broadcasting every NFL, Warrior and Giants game, a full menu of greasy manfood and, obviously, booze, this Upper Haight sports bar might just be the best place to watch the game in the city.

MR. The Barbershop

Barbershops have always been bastions of male-bonding, but this FiDi boys club takes it to another level, providing a bar, a gigantic TV, couches, and plenty of boys club atmosphere. Meet the fellas here for a beer, a ballgame, an old-school shave or cut, or all of the above.

Red's Java House

You and your crew headed to the ballpark? Hit this dilapidated bay-side shack for great views, fat burgers and three dollar beers before the game--you can eat and drink for two hours here for what you'd spend on one beer-and-fries run at AT&T.
