What People Are Saying About Lucky 13
Featured Review

In Short – Black-and-red walls, hanging beer signs and Lucky 13 merchandise tacked above the bar give this tattoo-friendly hangout its modest vibe. A bevy of beer taps (including Chimay) line the lengthy bar, which runs the right-half of the narrow space. On the left, two tiers of high tables with stools offer plenty of seating. Near the back pool table, a jukebox blasts vintage punk and rock tunes.
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- A door near the popcorn machine at the end of the bar opens to an outdoor smoker's patio.
- The Extras:
- It's cash only, but there is an ATM upstairs.
- Save Money:
- A daily happy hour (4pm-8pm) features $1 off pints and 50-cents off well drinks.

Great Dive
by charmingkati at Citysearch
I like this place. It is my favorite dive in the city, because no matter how I am dressed or how I feel a drink here is always right - I can go before a night in the mission, or after a bit of dancing in the SOMA clubs!

Favorite bar in the area
by nerdpunkcub at Citysearch
I'm a gayhomo (other reviewers not mine)...and I love Lucky 13. No, it's not a gay bar...but it's a bar in Upper Market, so lots of Q's (that's the q word that sounds like beer) end up here for great beer, good music, and lots of table space to put your ever growing collection of pint glasses. Saturdays they sometimes have free BBQ and lately they've had weekend specials. As someone else mentioned, great happy hour.
- Pros: beer, music, popcord, people watching
- Cons: bar tends have a lot of work, so may take a moment to get your order

Great place dont listen to...

Dont listen to the person above, they are just a stupid gayhomo! and have no idea what a good place is. Of course your gonna get treated like that walking into a pool hall with your feather boa, all like helloooo mister bartendaaa can i have a zimaa pweeaseee ur such a cutie. This place is a great place to play pool, especially since they treat those who are gay like they should be treated. over all A+++
Cheap beer good stuff.

My new home! Start out there or end up there, but be sure to go there every day. I'm not an alcoholic.

I've been living here for a couple months, trying to find "my" bar, and Lucky 13 is it. Friendly bartenders, great music, cheap beer AND a great selection, diverse & friendly crowd, great location next to the J and Market street buses. What do you want? They even have a nice little patio.
I'm sorry that the guy posting the review before mine had a bad time. Man, I'm not gay but I'll buy you a drink if you'll come back. Just leave another review and name a time.
I was pretty fired up when I found this place - I told another Chicago expat about it and we went there last night and he of course loved it too. Just too keep it real - I'll complain about what I can: phenomenal jukebox could only be imporved with a bit more variety, and it would be good if there were more pool tables.

Guess I'll never be back!

I decided to walk into that place last night with a couple of friends. I found a very unfriendly and unpleasent atmosphere, but most of all what was shocking to me was the bar tender. NASTY guy with a NASTY attitude, and yes I took it personal since he was ok with my 2 straight friends, but he clearly was annoyed at me..yes I am gay, and no I wasn't hitting on him..I mean who would? Inexplicable that this day and age in SAN FRANCISCO in the CASTRO someone would have a problem with a gay guy asking for a drink at a bar...this guys needs to move back to whatever cave he came from!
Not only was he NASTY and UNPLEASENT but this joke of a bartender does not even know how to serve a drink, if he has to do more than opening a bottle of beer he gets lost. I have to admit, the female bartender was a bit friendlier and at least was able to pour a decent drink. Of course, I decided to walk down the street and walk into The Transfer...kick a** bar tenders, great atmosphere and friendly crowd..
