What People Are Saying About Delirium
Featured Review
Patrick Heig
Contributor
A neon-lit Mecca for hard-drinking Missionites, Delirium is both a dive and a hot spot with an aesthetic that matches exactly that of its patrons. Nearly every night, inked-up youngsters with big pupils and skinny jeans crowd the bar for two-dollar Tecates between smoke breaks and trips to boogie to the music in the back room. In the earlier hours, however, this place earns its authentic dive status, with a few down-on-their-luck customers working on their drinks and not much else. It's not the place to come for a date or a well-made martini (or even a Jack and Coke), but Delirium's a…

Not too shabby...
by Accident Prone , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch
Came here for happy hour with a friend from out of town.
Great vibe and people...and the bartender was really nice.
The beer selection was good, but I opted for wine. It was a little old and turning. I've bartended before, and I feel like if there's any question about the wine...the bartender should taste it first - or let the patron taste it to see if it's ok.
I drank it, because I didn't want to send it back and be THAT girl. Then, I got a water. There were red bits floating in it. After waiting awhile for the bartender to see me, he refilled it...saying it was probably the gun. It was indeed, and my new water also had red bits floating in it. Guess all the gun drinks have crud from the line. I've never seen that before.
Anyway, I'd go back, but probably stick to beer, since the mixers and the wine are both a little tainted.
- Pros: Location, fun clientele and staff
- Cons: red bits in the water, old wine
pisss, drugss and low end life forms
by upperclass at Citysearch
The quality of the people really lacks at this bar. There big turn ons are pissing on the sidewalk and doing any type of drugss they can find. If you want to meet quality people, find another bar to go to. Oh the site wont allow me to write the word to urinate in slang so i had to mispell it and the word for illegal substances....what a joke since they seem to condone it.
- Pros: people have no life
- Cons: the puddle of urine you have to walk through in the bathroom
My favorite bar in SF

The bartenders are great, the place has a good vibe, and the back room / dance floor gets crazy. What else could you ask for? Oh and $2 Tecates :)
Rude Service - 1st and Last Time
by datnyc at Citysearch
Major attitude at the bar from the blonde bartender. Ok service from the her other colleagues. I was visiting from NYC and got harassed by the blonde bartender for whistling at the TV monitor. Never have I had a bartender in my face going over her ridiculous bar rules. My experience with my bartender was fine until this girl was all in my business. I definitely would not recommend this spot to anyone visiting..... save yourself the annoying service specially from the blonde chic..... spend your money wisely at another bar and have a drink somewhere else.
- Pros: walking distance from other bars
- Cons: terrible service from annoying bartender
