Spent a quick 3 nights in SF and ate and drank here twice. Pulled pork sliders, jalapeño coleslaw (hot!), bbq brisket, mac n cheese, a few ales. Food, drink, service, location, etc. great. Loved it! More

We decided to check out The Pub after ending our tour of the city in Fisherman's Wharf. We were super hungry and just wanted to get a quick, early dinner.

I think we originally chose The Pub because of its location, which sits at the base of Ghirardelli Square, a popular tourist attraction. I made our reservation for a Sunday afternoon a... More

After staying at the nearby Argonaut Hotel and being ripped off with poor restaurant food that's way over priced all along the Fishermans Wharf....how does it happen that on your last day just before your due to take your flight and your killing time before you leave for the airport that you stumble on a gem of a pub serving...

YUM! True bar food. Tater tots? Chicken? Burgers? Ribs? Mac and Cheese? This is THE PLACE to get your grub on and have some brewskys. We get free shots when we come here and they have a trivia night which is hilarious and fun for those drinking and not. The service is always excellent and there's plenty of bathrooms and... More
