Scores:
Value: 7.6
Service: 8

What makes it special: $1 wings and a big-energy pre-game scene steps from Oracle.
Who should go: Groups meeting pre- or post-game
When to visit: 4–8pm happy hour; off-nights for easier seating
What to order: $1 wings; half-off pizzas; garlic fries
Insider tip: On busy nights, check the bar rail for fastest HH ordering.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is scarce on game days; nearby paid lots run $20–$40 depending on events. No valet offered.
Dress code: Smart casual. Jeans and jerseys are fine on game days; a bit more polished fits right in on off-nights.
Noise level: High-energy before and after games; moderate on non-game nights—conversation possible but expect background buzz.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation when the Giants are home; shorter on off-weekends.
Weekday lunch: Generally no wait unless coinciding with day games.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—salads, pizzas, and sides like garlic fries are available.
Vegan options: Limited—can adapt some salads and sides, but menu is not vegan-focused.
Gluten-free options: Yes—gluten-free crust available for pizzas; ask staff for options.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal on game days due to noise and crowds, but off-nights offer a lively yet manageable setting with patio seating that can work for a casual date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect long waits on game nights. Bar seating is often easier to secure without a reservation.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during earlier hours and off-nights; booster seats and kid-friendly menu items are available, but noise and crowds may be overwhelming during peak pre-game times.
Best For
Better for: Large groups looking for lively pre-game energy, affordable wings, and a classic South Beach sports-bar-meets-restaurant vibe.
Skip if: You want a quiet dinner, refined cocktails, or a romantic setting—other neighborhood restaurants offer calmer atmospheres.

7.7
Across from Oracle Park, this South Beach standby turns out a sturdy, game-day burger and efficient service. Big booths, TVs, and a full bar make it a reliable meet-up spot before first pitch.

Stadium Burger, Onion Rings, Wedge Salad
Scores:
Value: 7.4

Noise level: Loud on game days with TVs and crowd energy; moderate at weekday lunches when conversations are manageable.

Vegan options: Limited – salads and a possible modified burger (ask to hold cheese and mayo).
Gluten-free options: Gluten-free buns are available upon request; fries are shared fryer.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a quiet, romantic date. It works better as a casual pre-game meetup or if both of you are into sports and lively atmospheres.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes on non-game days. On game days, arrive 60–90 minutes early or expect a wait, especially for large groups.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes, during daytime and early evenings. Spacious booths work well for families, though noise levels spike on game nights.
Best For
Better for: Best for large groups looking for a full bar, TVs, and proximity to Oracle Park.
Skip if: Skip if you want a quiet meal, chef-driven burger, or a relaxed ambiance away from game-day crowds.
