Fun Spot!
by ksjjj
Great, non-pretentious place to have a drink, dance and enjoy the DJ! Check it out! This place is designed to look like a trailer, I love it. It reminds me of a bar that I used to love in NYC.
- Pros: location, drinks, DJ
- Cons: not enough seating
If only it was busier

interesting spot
by audreyjl
I've only been here twice but had fun each time. It's a very unique place with a trailer trash vibe. Very funny drink specials and snacks. Great loud music, sometimes a band is around or a live guitar player jumps up on the bar to rock out. Never too crowded. Will definitely be returning, got a nice laidback feel to it.
- Pros: funny menu items
fun Music, Cool drinks
by wickscrub
fun place to go when your hanging out in the Mission. Cant go to many bars in town and get a 22 in a Brown Bag. Then there is the upstairs that is like a Frat house with Video games and big rooms. 2 Thumbs up and i will probably go back again.
Too funny...
by shoegal84
This place is definitely unique. I've been here a couple of times. Love the music, and the drinks are pretty good. They mix two of my favorite ingredients together: tang and vodka = tangini!! You have to have one. The bartenders are pretty nice, hey when I came up to order drinks they even gave me a lollipop and a wife-beater t that said "butter" on it. I had to ask for another one since my friend had tried to get one every time she had gone before.
The music is fun, not that there is really any room to dance, the people are fun, and it is an eclectic crowd. Drinks are good, and pretty moderately priced so what else???
A definite must do...at least once that is.
- Pros: Tang and Vodka!
- Cons: One restroom for all!!
A SoMa club serving TV dinners and cocktails spiked with strawberry soda.

In Short
At this self-described "white-trash diner," acid jazz and house music often waft through the speakers as Pabst Blue Ribbon flows on tap. The throwback decor includes spacey lighting, lava lamp-like projections and black-velvet Elvis art. An aluminum trailer sticking out of one wall serves as the kitchen, offering microwavable SpaghettiOs and Twinkies.

Butter is certainly not the place for everyone. If you are the sort that needs overpriced drinks and the vacant stares of "pretty" people to validate your existence, stay in the Marina! If you like great music, stiff drinks, and tater tots go to Butter. The bartenders are great and the atmosphere is unique. They serve Hi-Life quarts in paper bags and jello shots! Heaven! The music can be a little loud but after a few cocktails it doesn't seem to matter. Butter rules and has been taking care of me for years!
- Pros: Bartenders, Tater Tots, PBR
No Good
by sbeck
The city search write up on this place is very old. The hey day of this place must have been during the dot com. There was nobody in this place besides our group, the bar tender and the creepy guy drinking by himself at the bar. We went for the Wednesday night drag show. Upon arriving we learned this event has not been happening for over a year. The jello shots are now $2. This place is lame. I would never go back!
good fun bar

Great Change of Pace in SOMA!
by golden_tiger_
When you think SOMA you usually think of crowded same old, trendy dance clubs...this is SO different! They have an awesome theme where you can be as silly as you want while having a great time. The drinks are stiff and cheap, the atmosphere is friendly and upbeat (not too perky). The line for the bathroom was a little long, but I say it's worth checking out, try something new!
- Pros: Fun, Friendly , Cheap
- Cons: Not Enough Bathrooms, Crowded
