What People Are Saying About John Colins
Featured Review
Patrick Heig

Forced to move from its popular original location by the Transbay Terminal, John Colins got lucky---putting it lightly--with its new space on Minna a block away. Inside the door, there's a huge lounge space, with the bar in the back under soaring ceilings and surrounded by giant ferns and towering La Raza-themed paintings. The usual happy, happy hour crowd is here from 5pm on, as are JC's signature simple, well-priced drinks. So for the many who bemoaned the closure of the original bar, fret not: the new space is bigger and better than the original, and the vibe--and the awesome $1 off…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Happy hour really packs in a fun crowd, but later in the evening it's more hipster and less 9-to-5'er.
- Happy Hour:
- Everything is $1 off from 5pm-7pm

My advice, go some place else, here is why
by freesf at Citysearch
We were asked to wait outside, we were told that there was an over capacity issue, which we understood. While waiting for a long time other people were let inside just fine. I've live in San Francisco for many years and I have not seen this discriminatory behavir in a long time except this one.

Great Happy Hour
by martinsten at Citysearch
John and Collin are fun, outgoing bartenders who know how to run a business. I see all kinds of people in here for happy hour every week, and I keep coming back. They keep it real and change it up. Last thursday they were doing some kind of promotion for a new sake drink infused with fruit flavors, Sake2me. It was new and refreshing, and I actually went on line to see where I could buy it for my next get-together at home. I fully recommend checking this place out and maybe even finding a new cocktail or sake drink while you're at it.
- Pros: fun, smart owner-bartenders always there to make it right
- Cons: sometimes can get crowded

Must Visit!
by robertaboucher at Citysearch
We LOVE John Colins. I have been there thre times, the latest with a group and every time has been consistently fun. The atmosphere is terrific and the music at a perfect level for visiting and meeting new people. The bartenders are cute, fun and constantly smiling. A definate must visit after work or late night.
- Pros: Atmosphere, tunes, service.
- Cons: Line at the bathroom.

Like no other

I trully love this place! Everytime I go in the vibe is great. The bartendars are friendly and make you feel like they are genuine. The music is loud at times, but not to the point where you can't talk or be heard.
Over all you need to stop by and try them!
