Logistics & Planning
Parking: Limited metered street parking on Front and North Point Streets; nearby Pier 39 garage offers paid hourly rates (~$10/hr).
Dress code: Casual—jeans, tees, and team gear all fit in fine.
Noise level: Lively—TVs and jukebox volume pick up during games but still manageable for casual conversation.
Weekend wait: Usually no formal wait; bar stools fill by 6pm on game nights.
Weekday lunch: No wait; walk right in and grab a seat.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few items like fries, onion rings, and veggie sliders available.
Vegan options: Limited—order fries or pretzels, but menu centers on meat options.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated prep, but plain wings or salads can be modified.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re going for a relaxed dive-bar vibe—great for watching a game together but not ideal for romantic conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—seating is first come, first served. Arrive before happy hour rush for best spots near the bar.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—bar-focused atmosphere with TVs and alcohol-heavy service. Best suited for adults 21+.
Best For
Better for: Value wings and no-frills drinks near the Wharf without tourist pricing.
Skip if: You want craft cocktails, elevated bar food, or a quieter lounge setting.
