Zeitgeist

Expert Reviews of Zeitgeist

Citysearch | A Mission staple with a rock attitude and enough outdoor seating for an entire biker gang.

A black door featuring a skull-like parody of the Playboy bunny gives way to a shed-like interior. Punk-influenced tunes fill the spacious main room, where the focal point is the bar's approximately 30 draft...

After being away from the Bay Area for 3 years it was great to go back to Zeitgeist. All the people we went with had a blast and it made me want to move back to SF more than ever. I think we all had such a...

Stop whining.

These negative reviews are completely off the mark. The staff at the Zeitgeist are "edgy," sure, but if you're going to complain about getting kicked out for being a douche, well... well. Actually, that makes...

Anyone who doesn't like Zeitgeist has bad taste

Zeitgeist is hands-down the best place to go to drink in SF. You can be who you want to be. You can talk about cafe bikes. You can smoke, you can not smoke, you can dance on a picnic table, you can hear husker...

Great beer garden, cheap eats and a staff that lives up to the Zeitgeist reputation

Chances are, if you end-up at Zeitgeist, you've probably already heard many things about the place...and most of them are probably true. Everything from being kicked-out from no "good" reason," to waiting over...

Best Bloody Mary and Grilled Cheese Sandwich!

Best grilled cheese sandwich anywhere, and you can't beat their bloody marys! Great atmosphere, plenty of room for large groups, and out doors so perfect for smokers. Favorite SF bar hands down.

best (and only?) beergarden in SF
