What People Are Saying About Little Shamrock
Featured Review
Gina Goff
Contributor
In Short – The second-oldest bar in the city, this jovial watering hole feels like a second home to many regulars who stop by nightly for casual conversation, friendly competition and good old-fashioned Irish libations. The cozy space, decked out in green and gold, features well-worn but comfy sofas, a warm hearth and popular backgammon tables. Whiskey connoisseurs appreciate the selection of Irish varieties, while the rest are simply impressed by the free, freshly popped popcorn.

I believe it IS the second oldest!

I love this bar! It was even better when I saw my dad and his friend's pictures on the wall. Lots of nostalgia for me, but it does feel like I am in a friend's living room because of the relaxed atmosphere. Great drinks and great staff.
- Pros: Parking, atmosphere, nostalgia

Great bar... The oldest in the city?
by sunsetsf at Citysearch
Awesome bar! Great draft selection, great prices, great staff. This bar is not an authentic Irish bar (though the name implies) but it doesnt try to be authentic Irish either. I have been to almost every bar in the Sunset. In my opinion this is one of the best. Heres a tip... Keep an eye out for the clock with no tick since 1906!
- Pros: good atmosphere, good prices, oldest in city?
- Cons: popcorn machine dirty, cant drink on patio

Little Shamrock is the place to go!
by norcaldude76 at Citysearch
I'm a local of the avenues, so I frequent Little Shamrock a lot. The bar has a lot of character, it's been around since 1893(?). A big perk is the drinks are cheap. Drew is the bartender on Friday and Saturday nights. He makes good drinks in a timely fashion and is really personable. Lara (sp.?) is the cocktail waitress. Not only is she gorgeous, but she's a great conversationalist and is prompt with getting drinks. I was there last night for St. Patrick's Day. Had a rockin' time, even though the bar was extremely crowded. By the end of the night, people were dancing to a great music selection, the bartenders were throwing out prizes to everyone, and you could tell EVERYONE was having a great time. The only complaint I have about the bar is the popcorn machine and popcorn baskets need to be cleaned.
- Pros: Bartender, Waitstaff, Popcorn
- Cons: Popcorn machine

One of the best in SF
by nomiisgoddess at Citysearch
Wonderful atmosphere, with backgammon tables, sofas, a great fireplace, AND a popcorn machine! The staff is awesome and very friendly, with bartenders that make you feel like you're part of the "Cheers" cast. This bar is a favorite SF spot for me. Highly recommended. Thanks Shamy!!
- Pros: Bartenders, Atmosphere
