A diverse crowd kicks back at this bangers-and-mash Irish pub in the Mission.

by Contributor

The Scene
A host of regulars sit at the bar that features 17 taps of mostly European brew, while those craving privacy choose dark-wood tables lining the front wall and quieter back room. Rust-colored walls are decorated with vintage beer signs and hand-painted quotes from the likes of Joyce and Wilde. The crowd is a Valencia-corridor mixed bag, from tattooed Mission denizens and folks of Irish descent watching football to white-collar workers enjoying the bustling happy hour.

The Draw
The kitchen prepares traditional Irish fare, including homemade soda bread and popular Bass Ale-battered fish and chips. Some American classics, like burgers and sandwiches, are also available. The soundtrack is supplied by an Irish-American-stocked jukebox, offering classic rock, blues and Irish folk.

I was so surprised with the crab cakes. They were full of meaty crab and so tasty! The burgers looked very impressive too.

The Best Food In The Mission

by laladala

I have never had such great food that they have. The Shepards Pie is great, something that i want to dream about at night. The Lamb Shank with the butter braised pole beans made me so happy that i did not need my boyfriend for a good week. I will miss the cuisine and wish that they will never change the chef. I will move to San Francisco just for there great food.

• Pros: The Food
• Cons: Not enough Jameson

Good food

by moonlightgrahams

Good spot for food and drink. The comfy booths aloog the wall make a for great gathering spot for friends. Seats by the swing out wndows in the front are great for people watching and there is plenty to see on that street.

Great Place, reminds me of my local from back home. More a Pub than a Bar, lots of people that all become friends by the end of the night.
