pisss, drugss and low end life forms
by upperclass
The quality of the people really lacks at this bar. There big turn ons are pissing on the sidewalk and doing any type of drugss they can find. If you want to meet quality people, find another bar to go to. Oh the site wont allow me to write the word to urinate in slang so i had to mispell it and the word for illegal substances....what a joke since they seem to condone it.
- Pros: people have no life
- Cons: the puddle of urine you have to walk through in the bathroom
The perfect Mission dive: cheap drinks, surly service, grimy bathrooms, a sweaty dancefloor, weird music and great times.
by Patrick Heig
A neon-lit Mecca for hard-drinking Missionites, Delirium is both a dive and a hot spot with an aesthetic that matches exactly that of its patrons. Nearly every night, inked-up youngsters with big pupils and skinny jeans crowd the bar for two-dollar Tecates between smoke breaks and trips to boogie to the music in the back room. In the earlier hours, however, this place earns its authentic dive status, with a few down-on-their-luck customers working on their drinks and not much else. It's not the place to come for a date or a well-made martini (or even a Jack and Coke), but Delirium's a phenomenon in that its popularity never seems to wane, perhaps because it doesn't just attract hipsters...it is a hipster.
My favorite bar in SF
by jgoldkamp
The bartenders are great, the place has a good vibe, and the back room / dance floor gets crazy. What else could you ask for? Oh and $2 Tecates :)
Rude Service - 1st and Last Time
by datnyc
Major attitude at the bar from the blonde bartender. Ok service from the her other colleagues. I was visiting from NYC and got harassed by the blonde bartender for whistling at the TV monitor. Never have I had a bartender in my face going over her ridiculous bar rules. My experience with my bartender was fine until this girl was all in my business. I definitely would not recommend this spot to anyone visiting..... save yourself the annoying service specially from the blonde chic..... spend your money wisely at another bar and have a drink somewhere else.
- Pros: walking distance from other bars
- Cons: terrible service from annoying bartender
Best Music in SF on a Mon. Night
by michaeltashjian
This is the best place to be after a bum out monday. The most mind easing music and atmosphere anyone could ever dream of in any SF bar. The bartenders are great people, and so is the DJ. The night starts off with mellow music and then progresses into a fun 60's psychedelic dance party. $2 Tecates are also an added bonus, so you can keep most of your paycheck! And if your the kind of guy who needs a pinball machine and pool table, they've thought of that aswell. Another thing that rocks is that there's a dance floor in the back that allows smoking! Mondays and Wednesdays are the best nights there. Come on down, you'll probably see me!!!
- Pros: REALLY RARE 60'S GARAGE ROCK/PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC
- Cons: not very much parking
Good people, good service
by erinm1965
Despite the time the poor drunk guy thought I was his destiny, I love this place. Always treated well and fair, solid service and no fluff. Thanks!
- Pros: All of it
User review by lgrenawalt

I've been to this bar numerous times and everytime I love it. At first I just loved it for their affordable drinks, down to earth crowd and rocking music but I also love it for the great staff. I recently spent an evening at delirium and lost my favorite sweatshirt somewhere on the dancefloor. In any other situation I would have given up hope but by closing time the doorman had my sweatshirt waiting in his hand. If you haven't gone, go, it's a great place.
- Pros: affordable drinks, great staff, great music
- Cons: losing at pinball
Service for the sick
by pinkuslives
Regardless of how sick you are or not, this place rocks. The music is good, the drinks are stiff and the bartenders are great. If this place was a pizza it'd be supreme. Yeah.
- Pros: No yuppies, No yuppies, No yuppies
- Cons: parking
Best bar in the Mission!
by mustardde
Delerium is by far the best bar in the Mission! Drinks are reasonably priced all the time, but they have a great happy hour until 7 every day! DJ's are in every night and play a great variety (mostly rock) music with room for dancing and the jukebox rocks when the DJ's are gone. All of the bartenders are super hot and friendly (both guys and girls) and lots of cool people hang there! Totally worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.
- Pros: atmosphere, music, people
- Cons: none!
Built for Speed
by fransassy
I recently discovered Thursdays here and just wanted to rave. The DJs are fun and play an eclectic mix, they also are really accomodating when it comes to requests. They bring a lot of stuff and play some rock, country, punk, reggae, metal, lounge, indie and electro/synth stuff. Lots of neighborhood people here and laid back atmosphere.
- Pros: cute girl djs, dancefloor in back, pool and pinball
