Review of the month: December
Asides from the very cool all-wood bar/atmosphere that the previous reviewers have mentioned, I don’t think I’ve seen a lineup of taps at any bar that got me as excited as this place. Off the top of my head I remember that they have: Boddington, Guinness, Fat Tire, Boont Amber, Strongbow, Lagunita IPA, Pabst Blue Ribbon (awesome off the tap, and $2 pints!), Camay, and many more tasty brews.
Thanks – Leo!
Review of the month: October
“I love this bar. It used to be the official bar of the Palace Hotel, before they added their own bar. And it is one of the oldest bars in San Francisco. The dark wood bar is impressive and beautiful, and probably totally wasted on people who stop here just for a happy hour drink.
The owners are all really nice, and I like coming in here and mixing it up with the locals. I like the bartenders here!”

Great atmosphere, strong drinks and cute college boys from the art school. What more could you ask for in a bar?

Review of the month: August
I love House of Shields! I have seen some amazing shows there, and Kaleidoscope (one Friday each month) has some of the best music and dancing in SF. The bartenders rock and the regular customers are always a lot of fun. The atmosphere at HOS is dark, mysterious, sexy, and steeped in history. Make sure to check out one of the biggest historic urinals around!
Thanks to Heather C!
