Old School! This place is great! Pub food at really reasonable prices. Skee-Roll, Mortal Kombat, Pool, Foosball, and GOLDEN TEE for your entertainment pleasure! Lots of TVs to watch sports on.

Three floors and 8,000 square feet make for lots of viewing space in this Union Square sports bar, so if you've got a big group, call ahead to reserve your spot. Read more

Amazing beer selection, both on tap and cans/bottles. Food menu should cover your needs, they even have a brunch menu until noon.

They have a vast selection of arcade games and old-school classic diversions like shuffleboard, skeeball, and air hockey to divert yourself with. Plus, over 100 varieties of craft beer. Read more

Multi-story bar with plenty of space and plenty of screens for watching sports while hanging out. Also have bar games to play as well, and pretty good appetizers.
Joey CombsMay 23, 2015
Great selection of beers and a big pool table. Great place to bring a big group of friends and throw back a few cold ones before heading out.

So many games to play, from fooseball, skeeball, and more. Big beer selection. $6 gets you a spin on the drink roulette wheel. Currently only open till midnight, though.
Gnat BrainOctober 25, 2016
Your classic sports pub and bar but with great craft beer options to boot.
Sabina B.December 21, 2014
Great beer selection, but the main reason you're here is to play Buck Hunter/skeeball/shuffleboard. Better on weeknights, gets super crowded and fratty over the weekend.
Michael CruzJuly 30, 2013
This place is awesome! Give me skeeball, pool, giant tvs and a great craft beer list and I'm a happy drinker. This place has it all. Not just for tourist!

It can be brotastic at times, but it's spacious and has a little something for everyone, whether a tourist, a TV watcher or game player.
Natalia BakerOctober 14, 2014
Watch Monday night football with quesadillas, wings & sweet potato fries for a true American experience. Can also play shuffleboard & other games.
BommyJuly 29, 2015
Huge space with various games and nice beer selection. Great place to come with a group or for sports games.

Great spot for a decent draught selection and yummy bar bites. Shuffle boards, arcade games, sports and banter.
Matheus PortilloOctober 29, 2014
Free cinema size screen for sports. "Free The Beatles". Free Nachos with yelp check in. Free pool. Totally worth it
KidhackOctober 18, 2013
Cool if you like bros. Cool if you like sports. Best you like sports bros.
Kaitlyn ReedAugust 28, 2013
Spin the wheel of beers! It's worth the $6 plus they've got skee ball, shuffle board and the place is very spacious.

Not best place for a night focused on arcade/video games, even on a not busy days. 2 pinball machines often break, Wacky Gator intended for single mallet/hand. Not regulation skee ball lane length.
_December 22, 2014
Grab a beer and play some pool, skeeball, or just watch the game one of their many giant tvs.
Christie HeikkinenMarch 6, 2017
Great for groups! Big beer selection, good food, lots of seating, and games to play!

Beer roulette wheel plus good deals on drinks for happy hour. Plenty of TVs of any sporting event is on too.
Yvonne KwanAugust 7, 2014
HUGE selection of beers for every palate. They also have fun arcade games to entertain you!

Multi-floored sports bar. Two giant shuffleboards. Private areas available to reserve for larger parties.
ShinaApril 25, 2015
So many levels! Great place to watch a game and get some brews with a large group.
Ali AndersonJanuary 31, 2015
hidden gem in Union Square - huge space, shuffle board, and wide beer selection.
Paul CunninghamJuly 16, 2015
Nice place. Good beer selection. Billiards, shuffle board, video games. $1 / play skee ball is pricy.
Bre RozApril 13, 2015
There is a lot of fun to be had here, but if you drink too much, take the elevator back down. The stairs may be too much for you.
Irina LeonidovnaApril 9, 2016
Huge place, really great for watching games, in a group, and drink cheap drinks
Anna LouFebruary 26, 2017
Philly cheese steaks were popular in my group of 6. They have shuffle board!
Greg SchechterAugust 14, 2014
Lots of beer, TVs, and games. Check out the free popcorn and the skeeball
Mar VJuly 17, 2013
Entry-level craft beer list, but cool place! Can't wait to see what else they bring in once they are fully open.

Great place to go to watch a game. Plenty of screens and lively crowd.
Andrew ZimmerSeptember 15, 2015
Large place with a volume model. Would be much better if kinks were worked-out, but still an acceptable experience.
Andrew SipotzAugust 28, 2013
Cheap happy hour drinks but avoid food. Rotting celery one week, stone cold wings the next. Also the prices are misleading, happy hour doesn't get you a full order of food
Zoheb ViraniDecember 17, 2014
Great sports bar, love how it's hidden and has 2 120" screens
Steven WallerMarch 13, 2015
Epic by most standards, I'd consider going back to watch sports, play games etc
Dave WhelanJanuary 14, 2015
Everything seems to be a game of chance here. After I ordered, the bartender told me he gave me $2 off my burger, and the beer was free. Your mileage may vary.
Phillip LundeSeptember 5, 2014
Cool place to watch a game but the service and management is horrendous.. They can't handle the capacity of a football game..
Alex DobyanDecember 17, 2017
Uber-touristy, and a middling beer list, but it's good to watch a game.
Matt SOctober 31, 2013
Tons of beers on draft but only a few that aren't fairly common. Big place. Lots of games.

The prawns and the beer variety offer are great
Michael DoughertyAugust 25, 2013
Picked 3 beers in a row that they were out of, barkeep poured me a shot of Jameson. That's some good service ;D

Best sport bar in San Francisco. Full choice of world beer
Amy BSeptember 19, 2015
Touristy but the place to come for games. Pro sports and pinball.
Dave WhelanJanuary 14, 2015
Undecided? Play the Wheel of Beer. $6 plus chances to win a shot.
Dani MartinezAugust 15, 2014
Plenty of Beers and a great atmosphere!
Shreyans ParekhMay 6, 2015
One of the absolute best places in SF to watch Bay Area sports
Greg MacDonaldJune 10, 2018
Great sports bar in the Union Square area.
Lauren ColmanAugust 9, 2014
Skeeball, foosball, billiards and more. Giant sports bar.
