Sports Bars in San Francisco

Chug Pub

20s / 30s / Absinthe / Arcade Games

Party Earth Review With standard-issue Guinness signs, tarnished mirrors, Celtic script, and an abundance of dark hardwood, the Irish vibe is alive and smilin’ at Chug Pub, clearly a nod to its former life as The Dubliner. The addition of several large screens tuned to nothing but baseball and football, however – not to mention some of the ... more

Party Earth Review Located a block from the shopping, hotel, and theater district that surrounds Union Square, Lefty O’Doul’s is a lively, old-fashioned pub/cafeteria that straddles the line between relaxed watering hole and gaudy tourist bait. An archway divides the long space into two separate areas, the first of which drips with classic ... more

Party Earth Review Tucked a few blocks away from its bustling Downtown namesake, Union Square Sports Bar is a safe haven for sports lovers fleeing a shopping trip and tourists looking to escape the crowds.

Giordano Bros.

20s / 30s / 40s / After Work / Beer / Pop

Party Earth Review Steelers fans, sandwich seekers, and budget-minded boozers all find something to love at Giordano Bros., a longstanding favorite over in North Beach that opened its Mission location – a part of town not exactly known for sports bars – back in late 2011. The split venue consists of a bar area to one side where yuppies and ... more

The Parlor

30s / 40s / Bar / Bottle Service / DJ

Party Earth Review Located in tourist-heavy Fisherman’s Wharf, The Parlor is equal parts dance club, sports bar, and classic cocktail lounge.

The Napper Tandy

20s / 30s / 40s / Anything goes / TVs

Party Earth Review Just on the southern edge of the busy Mission drinking scene, corner pub The Napper Tandy is authentically Irish from the name out front to the brogues of its waitresses to the all-you-can-eat fish and chips on Mondays. From the outside, little sets the place apart from the slew of nearby bars save for the large front ... more

The Phoenix Irish Bar

30s / 40s / Beer / Blue Collar / Blues

Party Earth Review The Mission area may not be a sports bar lover’s paradise, but the lack of competition isn’t the only reason The Phoenix Irish Bar is so popular. True, patrons will find the game they’re looking for – from the Stanley Cup to the World Cup – on the flat-screen TVs, but they’ll also encounter a solid menu of Celtic grub and ... more

Blackthorn Tavern

Arcade Games / Artsy / Barbeque

Party Earth Review The bartenders may pour lots of creamy Guinness like at any Irish bar, but Blackthorn Tavern is more than just another quaint pub to snag a pint. And though more than a dozen flat-screen TVs dedicated to football, baseball, basketball, soccer, UFC fights, and boxing make the place a top-notch sports bar, it isn’t just another ... more

SF Sports Bars Overview

San Francisco is known for many things around the world, but its denizens have always been very involved in their local sports teams, and San Francisco sports bars have been very involved in keeping those denizens happily sauced.

Made up of teams throughout the Bay Area, San Franciscans are blessed with unlimited sports options, and the varied SF sports bars work hard to keep those options on their giant flat-screens. Football nuts that can’t catch the 49ers or Raiders in person will have no trouble finding a sports bar carrying the game during the NFL season, and basketball fans will have equal ease following the action stool-side when the Golden State Warriors are on the court.

Catching the Giants at AT&T Park is a signature San Francisco treat, but if you can’t make it to this beautiful ocean-side stadium, just amble on over to the nearest sports bar in SF before the pitcher takes the mound with your own pitcher in hand. Official Oakland A’s sports bars have a strong showing both in Oakland and back across the bridge in SF, while even hockey and soccer get their deserved coverage when the San Jose Sharks and Earthquakes are playing.

From preppy sports bars in the Marina to gritty dives Downtown, almost every neighborhood in and around SF has at least a few solid sports bars where armchair athletes can get their fill all year long.
