- M.Gokhan AhiAugust 20, 2014Piano duel nights are very amazing. Like a jukebox, give some money 1-5 USD, let them play what you want. If you give more money your wish can be first. I suggest Ray Charles whiskey cocktail.
Madison WilliamsJuly 29, 2013One of the most fun pubs I've ever been too. Bartenders and dueling pianos create an awesome atmosphere and a great time. Tip piano players and bartenders. They deserve it!
Bring $5 and your favorite sing-a-long song request to the cellar on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night! (Free cover on Thursday at 8:30).
Peadar McMahonMarch 18, 2018Smithwicks is surprisingly close to home. Can't complain, it's really close to the Irish stuff. Bar is a bit weirdly laid out but seems like it'd hold a decent atmosphere at less manic times.
Staff PicksMarch 17, 2016Celebrate St. Paddy's Day at one of the best Irish bars in SF. With 3 different levels of fun, Johnny's is the perfect place to have those green pints and forget the week. Read more
Brent SheltonFebruary 28, 2013Great Irish Pub in San Francisco's Union Square. Cold Lagunita's on tap along with every Irish pub ale you can think of. This is the happening place if you downtown.
Christopher QuesadaJuly 22, 2015Great service, nice bartenders. Good buffalo wings, great lamb mini-burgers, try the Kilkenny beer. Good live music after 9:30 p.m.
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2011Get here early to score a great table in the cellar and enjoy a unique show of songs from every era, you’ll be laughing and dancing all night long.
Cait GJanuary 19, 2015Staying at the hotel Nikko went in for dinner i ordered the Corned Beef, it absolutely delicious! The staff was great too
Thomas CoronaNovember 20, 2015Great place!! they have a lot of types of beer, its the perfect choice to watch the Sunday Football games
ThreedukesDecember 26, 2015The food is good (not great), the Guinness is good (not great), the service was good (not great), and while their bar is great, their sound system is set so everyone has to yell.
ShinaFebruary 6, 2015Great lunch menu and amazing service. They have a great selection of brews as well.
Patty C.April 21, 2014Red Wine Braised Lamb Shank was delish! The proportion was smaller than expected though!
Gretchen SchrammMarch 3, 2016The cottage pie and corned beef and cabbage were delicious. The sticky toffee pudding to die for!
Joseph BulgerAugust 28, 2013They weren't really dueling pianos... they each played parts of songs, make jokes, and took full advantage of groups celebrating birthdays to draw the entertainment out to the endurance point.
Paul de HalléJuly 23, 2014The live music upstairs is great. But for a truly awesome night, head downstairs for the dueling pianos.
Judy NguyenJuly 19, 2013Awesome piano bar; opens at 9:30p and it packed till closing!! Must-go. Request any song and enjoy!!
DanaJuly 18, 2015The Dueling Piano show here is absolutely brilliant. Particularly Nathan's Disney medley and when they crank out I'm Shipping out to Boston.
DanonkiDecember 28, 2012Bring your ID with you, as a tourist you might think its not necessary to show you're old enough to drink but, my best friends wife was asked for her ID and she's 35 BTW
Christian DickmannMay 30, 2017Fun place, but during our last visit the live music was louder than is good for a conversation
Christian LeaJanuary 14, 2013All the sports you need on four screens nice people and Lagunitas IPA on tap. What else can you ask for on a Sunday evening?- LifeIcing.com Plays well with others...selectively!July 11, 2013Great selection of draft beers and live music on weekends! It's a must visit
Brian DonohueNovember 21, 2014Wait staff is friendly, lots of authentic Irish beers. Great place for watching a game
Vlad SavelucAugust 28, 2015Euro style place. Different food than what you usually find in sf. I love it.
Kelly SchallhornOctober 1, 2013If you're Irish, have been to Ireland, or have every had good corned beef... Don't order it here. The corned beef was totally unseasoned and flavorless. Even covering it in salt didn't help save it.
Paul SweeneySeptember 29, 2015Epic good service. The burger was fantastic. The portions are generous.
Emily FaraoneJune 11, 2016Incredible dancing and singing along with pianos. Karaoke with a crew. So much fun!
Haley DasarpJanuary 28, 2018Piano bar is hilarious. Make sure to arrive early (930pm) or else you’ll wait in line forever.
Vito TelischakJanuary 27, 2012Big fan of the smoked salmon on boxty pancake. What a perfect fusion of flavors. Service was awesome.

Ivan IvanovOctober 1, 2012The perfect place for a European! 15 kinds of draft beer and real football on the TV!

Jag DhillonFebruary 16, 2014Great burgers. Stick to the American beers cause the imported stuff doesn't taste like how it should.
Emilie ArnaudOctober 25, 2013Super cool ! Fun piano bar with great entertainment ! Must check it out !- Antonio MaioFebruary 23, 2013Great atmosphere here! Feels like an Irish pub.,, or at least an Irish pub you would find in Canada! :-)
