What People Are Saying About Sadie's Flying Elephant

In Short – This is a top-notch neighborhood bar. It's sort of unkempt, but in a cozy way. Sadie's three rooms are cluttered with old, overstuffed armchairs (some repaired lovingly with duct tape), two pool tables, an excellent jukebox (from Nina Simone to The Clash) and a small library for literary drinkers. There's also a bizarre art selection--including a blow-up sex doll astride a trapeze--donated by regulars and staff throughout the years. – –

Great dive for chatting
by erik67 at Citysearch
I was in San Francisco to enjoy the city and meet a friend who lives near this bar and found it to be a great place to have a conversation. What really sold me on the bar was the excellent jukebox--we're talking 80s punk/pop. Also, the bartenders are extremely attentive and very polite, not what I expected in this softly lit watering hole. The only downside is there's a pool table that's a little too close to the bar, so you gotta do some acrobatics every few minutes to allow players enough elbow room for a clear shot.
- Pros: Jukebox & Strong drinks
- Cons: Pool table placement

So much better without the clutter, the cold, and the chalk..Be there for the change, it will definately payout big on some Friday night where that Bartender is funny and cute as hell...without the Donuts.
- Pros: no thugs, Hiding places, strong Drinks
- Cons: going home, that loud guy

Improving Sadie's
by gorillawhip at Citysearch
I think Sadie's is improving under the 'NEW' management. Great new juke-box selections (3 songs for a buck is a bummer), new pool tables (.75 cents a game, instead of .50) and strong drinks -- not outrageous changes! I always thought some of the bartenders were aloof and inattentive.
