BuzzWorks

Last night a group of friends had a few drinks here, and went outside to smoke. While we were smoking, the bouncer slut-shamed two women walking by on their way to another club, and then began to brag about his motorcycle, which had a bunch of pro IDF/ Israel logos on it. Totally killed the mood, and made everyone feel super uncomfortable.

Cool sports bar with a good beer selection. I stopped in for some paella and NFL playoffs 🥘 and the portion was a bit small but it was tasty. 😋

Superfun bar with friendly, engaged staff! Pinball machines in the windows, nice long bar and affordable drinks, tacos and bar food from the kitchen in back. Multiple non-gender single-stall bathrooms with plenty of space and trough-style sink in hallway. Upstairs there are billiards and Foosball tables, plus plenty of seating and tables. Cool overlook onto ground floor. This was EXCELLENT for an SFSketchfest afterparty with celebrity attendees! Street parking only so take a Lyft, right next door to DNA Pizza!

Bartenders here are extremely rude. For them to want you to spend your money at the bar you gotta have thick skin. I honestly chose to not buy any drinks because I'm huge on customer service. Get rid of the bartenders and I would gladly come back. I thought it was just me but after speaking with a few people in the room it was set in stone. Rude Rude Rude!!!!

An awesome bar, great selection of beers, lots of large screens for life sport and the barman was very friendly. Just needs to do food!

The best place to enjoy Kansas City Chiefs game. Great fans! Great time! Great place!

The Kansas City Chiefs bar of the Bay Area. Great vibe, awesome beer selection and lots of seating (the place still packs out for Chiefs games)

Nice, friendly and spacious place. A great selections of beers. Everybody will find something to their taste.

Had a great time at Buzzworks when watching the Chiefs game this weekend. This is a KC bar through and through, so if you come during Gameday, expect some loud and rowdy guests. But it's all in good fun. It wasn't actually too busy when we were there, but I assume it does get busier for more important games. We were able to easily find plenty of seating for everyone. They have KC specialty beers that you can't get anywhere else, which is a very pleasant surprise for KC natives. However I have to say I was a little disappointed when I ordered a diet coke and it was a can instead of a refillable glass. My only true critique of the place is the lack of any type of food. When you sit there for four hours, you are bound to get hungry, and although they allow outside food, there aren't many places around to get any. If it did have some snacks, it would be the perfect Gameday bar.

Friendly people working there, reasonable prices. My wife loves that they've become a Chiefs bar too. Good selection of beer with some ciders, seltzer, and a non alcoholic beer. I recommend against the cocktails - clearly not an emphasis here.

This review is for all fans of Real Madrid. Madridista Asi Asi Asi gana el madrid. Love it. As a Real Madrid fan, I loved the atmosphere here, what an absolute game to watch here at buzzworks, it was spectacular game and the crowd were amazing here. Real sport fan bar club. The roofs were on the go when the Madrid won the game and the crowd were amazing. Get your light drinks before you get in and grab the seats and top floor has the best viewing of the game. Even if you stand and watch its still the best view from the top floor. Watching a soccer game, stay put because you never know. Cheers to all the Buzz Works crew, did a great job and handled the crowd very well. Hala Madrid! Champions

Was in town for the playoff game between the Chiefs and Jags and didn't want to miss the game. My cousin, who lives in the area said that Buzzworks was the official Chiefs bar in the Bay. Headed in about halftime while the 49ers were playing. It was completely full of 49er fans and a few people with KC attire. It was standing room only. As soon as that game was over it started clearing out and all the Chiefs decor went up. It was a blast! It felt like being in KC! Buzzworks only serves drinks but there is a pizza stand outside and you can bring food in which is great. I just wish I knew that before hand! The service was friendly but you had to go to the bar to get your drinks. Fortunately the Chiefs won so it was a big celebration!

The bartenders and servers Corey and Andrew were amazing. Great service! Matthew Coe and Chris Paul were amazing comedians I will definitely be at their next gig! Buzz works was a wonderful venue.

Very interesting vibe here. Excellent beer selection and a diverse crowd Great spot to meet new people and have some unique conversations Love coming here fore sporting events during the week!

Great place to watch sports! The best part is that they play the sound!! I hate watching sports with no sound. This bar gets it. There are two levels and one main bar area. Decent selection of craft beers. You are also allowed to bring outside food. They also have arcade games. Overall great place to hang with friends. Would recommend.

Nice huge screens and great bartenders, but they need to add hooks to put our bags and coats underneath the countertop. Any decent pub should have these hooks to hang our purses on, so we don't have to place them on top of the bar in the way of everything. I suggested that they add these hooks last year when the Niners were in the playoffs, and this year they still haven't added any. Adding these hooks to hang stuff up would change my rating from 2 to four (4) stars.

How many places can claim to be as dynamic as this joint? It's ever ready to facilitate a ruckus sports bar atmosphere (Aussie rules r the best) but then awesomely transition into a rad club. Wether ya may find yourself lucky enough ta stumble upon a rad Bollywood night or a industrial dj celebrating his birthday it's nothing but consistent when it comes to providing a good time. Credit to the ownership and staff. ;) 10/10 would recommend

Such a cool vibe and great place to see live entertainment! The comedians, Matthew Coe and Chris Paul were hilarious and so talented. Great service from Cory and Andrew at the bar. We'll be back!

I love this place for 2 main reasons, one being that they have a ton of space and a plentiful amount of TV's. Second of all, they have great food - not just default bar food but it's actually delicious. This place is also a decent location in regards to fidi, just a short walk from your office, perfect for going to after work!

I was at the comedy night and it was so much fun. But the best part was the service Cory and Andrew made the room feel warm and welcoming even though I was new and didn't know anyone. The drinks are reasonably Priced, and the vibe is great because of the staff. The show was fun but, me and my friends will come to watch sports on the giant big screen because of the staff!!! The comedy was a good time always good to se live show of anything!!!

Great comedy shows. Matthew Coe is a comedic genius. We had a great time -Julian and Jake

Saw "My Therapist Knows Your Name" here - such a funny set. Bartenders were attentive and great, crowd had a great energy. Loved it and will be back!

Great sports bar, lots of seats and screens. Good selection of beers and you can bring in outside food. There's pizza next door and Costco around the block.

This spot is so great, I ended up here twice back to back on the same weekend! First of all, the bartenders are awesome! On my first visit, the bartender recommended a couple drinks for me and I found one of my new favorites: Boochcraft Grapefruit Hibiscus Heather ($7.50 for 10oz). If you like a fruity cider type of drink, this is a must! On my second visit, the new bartender I had remembered me to close out my tab without even mentioning my name --very personable. The other perks of this spot is their huge space and high ceilings. They have two pool tables upstairs for $1 per game. It was so much fun to play on a date night and with a huge group of friends. There's also a row of arcade pinball machines, but those were a bit pricier at $2 per game. Lastly, they also have some food options for you. I tried the Joe Thornton ($6) and Stephen Curry ($7) Hot Panini from my friends. To be honest, I'd skip on the paninis as they were just rather okay. I did really enjoyed the Chips and Queso ($3), which was a crowd favorite that we had to make another order. Overall, super fun spot to hang around with some drinks and games. For more food options, it's walkable to SOMA StrEat Food Park with a rotating group of food trucks after some drinks.

Great spot to get a craft beer. It's a fun place to watch a game with lots of space. Good pinball machines. The lots of strong IPA's to choose from. This is the place to hangout and enjoy a drink or more in the SOMA.

The greatest place in Sf to share a drink and good conversation with old friends and new friends

The beer selection was underwhelming. The bar service was slow and lacking. The place was not clean either. I won't be back.

Chris Paul and Matthew Coe were excellent comedians! I would definitely see them again. The service (Cory and Andrew) went above and beyond. It was a packed house!!

Great beer! Will definitely need to head back soon to drink through the rest of their beer list!

Dope place to watch sports at! Saw the Warriors game six here against Boston and place was lit! Lots of ppl, highly recommend getting there early if you're going to some type of finals game like I did so you can secure a table and/or seats for you and your crew or else you'll be standing the whole time. Would also recommend that they get some type of air ventilation or something on the upstairs level cause it was definitely HOT up there and anyone could def feel like they're passing out. They didn't have any food when I went, but Costco was right across the street so many ppl just picked up some pizza and brought it over. Highly recommend and will be going back! Plus, beer selection is good

Quick take: Crowded, lively, and fun This place looks like a huge open space from upstairs. We were invited to a private party that was being hosted upstairs. We arrived during the second quarter of a Chargers vs Chiefs game. Wow, this place was packed and very festive. We made our way upstairs. There is a huge area upstairs that was closed for a private even. Plenty of space to hang out. Counter and bar stools along the back walls. A pool table and a lot of TV's. Food was catered by DNA pizza which is located next door. One bar located downstairs. I saw 3 bartenders while I was downstairs. We were able to order our beers pretty fast.

The 'My therapist knows your name' comedy show was amazing. Great venue with nice beer selection

This place has been amazing to watch the Warriors games! My husband and I have been coming here for every game! Drinks are also well priced and the place has a great vibe! Definitely 5 stars from me!

They've only opened up a month ago, so I hope with time Buzzworks makes a few enhancements to their business model. On the positive front, they offer an excellent selection of beers. I like that the menu categorizes the selection as being hoppy, selection, sour, strong and so on. For those of us that enjoy beer but are not aficionados, it makes it easy to try new things. There's a ton of space here to be social with friends. Bring everyone! Loads of room at the bar to watch folks line up for the mash-up next door at DNA lounge. If people watching gets boring, head upstairs to compete in a foosball tournament with your buddy. Promptly followed by an annihilation game of pool. Not that I am speaking from experience. But I did win. If watching sports with beer in hand is more your speed, there are T.V.'s on both levels in practically every corner. I could watch a poker competition, the Men's & Women's Olympic competition and the Olympic men's soccer game without moving a muscle. On the potential feedback for the owner. Dude! or Dudette! $2.00 for a pool game? I mean.. why? My friends played a single game then walked away. As did the other group of folks that played on the table next to us. Lower your prices to .75 or be wild and drop 'em to .50. I guarantee you will draw a bigger crowd upstairs and make more earnings at the pool tables. Also, the spacing is entirely too close! You have signs warning players to not hit the T.V.'s on the wall. Hmm, maybe a better option would be to move said T.V's a bit higher or move the tables further away from the wall. You definitely need more spacing in between the tables. Add more games. At the entrance there are 5 or 6 pinball machines. The end. Wait. What? Where is Ms. Pacman, King Kong, Galagga!!! If you are advertising as an arcade/pinball spot, there needs to be more of a selection. A lot more. You have the space. Lastly, are your bathrooms for the public? Because everyone standing in the long line for the club next door were coming in to your spot. Your door man didn't seem to care. What is the point of a bouncer if he ain't gone keep yo' place exclusive. Keep that in check! I'd come back. I love a good selection on tap. Only with the hopes that there will be additional arcade games. I'll be looking for the spot where I can stand, place my beer next to me and level up with double spaceships on several rounds of Galaga. Especially on Challenger round!

We came to San Francisco to watch the Chiefs v San Francisco game tomorrow at Levi Stadium. When we go out of town, we like to find bars that are Chiefs bars. Wondered, as you really can't see Chiefs stuff in the pictures on Yelp. This is for those like us, Yes this is a Chiefs bar. Also, they serve KC Boulevard beer and Quirk Seltzers.

GOAL!!!! Soccer Time!!! Lol... I don't watch sports, but we had a great time... Boy, they've got a selection of tap beers along with liquor. Anyway, It's a good size establishment with monitors galore, clean bathrooms, attentive staff, and 2 pool tables upstairs. The Negative: They are only open on the weekends. Also, DJ Music and Dancing would be a nice touch. I'm not sure if they serve food or just can't recall. We started early and finished the night in that area. Now, would I return, Ummm, Yes! Very Nice Establishment.

We came on a game day which we knew that it would be busy. Service was slow and we understood being the place was packed and only two bartenders. However, they were out of nearly every possible common thing. Then they'd get up when people would order and they did not have it. When you have one beer and only one beer for a bar that's an issue.

Found this hidden gem in the city. One of the best sports bars I've been to in SF! So spacious and so many TV's with a variety of beers to choose from. Most sports bars in the city are so tiny and fill up really fast. BuzzWorks has so much room and so many TV's around that I feel it's almost the perfect place for game day. I can't believe I didn't discover this place sooner. Marking this as one of my new go to sports bars. (Maybe I should take down this review so I could keep this place a secret all to myself)

40 beers on tap. DNA pizza delivered. Attractive bartenders. Pinball and pool tables. Flabongo. Get your ass over there.

Came here during the NBA finals with Warriors against the Raptors. I was shocked to see how many raptors fan came to this sports bar. This day in particular was crowded all around. Given the fact that they're a two story bar, every square inch was taken up by another being lol. On the contrary, I've been here during its slow happy hour days as well. It can a be laid back area to hangout especially with the pool table upstairs. Great place to kill some time after work.

Ok the drink selection is good but the food omggg... So I ordered 2 veggie sausages and I kid you not (I know a lot of angry yelp review completely make up times) but I waited 45min for this thing. I thought that I was going crazy and I inquired wtf was happening. The guy (after ~40min) told me that one of the sausages was frozen so he was waiting it to thaw. Uhhhh never occurred to you to 1. tell me that or 2. just bring me the one!! Superrr annoyed! thank god they were on groupon so I was able to save some money :)

SPORTS BAR W/ LOTS OF: SEATING, BEERS, FOOD, TVs Awesome spot to catch a game! AMBIANCE: LOADS OF TVS everywhere. Came here around 7:30 on a Wed to catch a warriors game and there was sooo much seating! DRINK: The beer selection is INSANE! They have loads of variety on tap & bottled/canned. I got the Firewold? on tap and enjoyed it very much. If you enjoy wheat beers like Allagash White, you will like this one. They also offer wine, FOOD: They have in house food & Food from DNA, both of which you can order from the Buzzworks bar. Talk about convenience from this genius partnership! Food is not Buzzworks core competency. We ordered their highest end NACHOS they have to offer and it was NOT good.. super heavy and plopped with jarred sauces of all kinds. They should just stick to serving beers and let DNA do the cooking next door. **DNA BUFFALO WINGS ($/10pcs): I consider myself a wing junkie and these ones are good (not mind blowing but still v good in my opinion)! They are made super crunchy with a great spicy buffalo sauce poured over it. **BLUE CHEESE SAUCE: Worth the ($0.50) for Blue Cheese Sauce. It is a must if you get the wings! **DNA PIZZA: Tried both the *PEPPERONI and the **CARNIVORE, they were both great but the Carnivore blew me away. If you love meat, you will love this! Not a extraordinary pizza but it will hit the spot after some drinks. The sausage, bacon, pepp, salami were all delicious together. My only qualm is this pizza was $15 for 2 slices Do they realize Costco is down the street selling for $2.99 a slice?! Too bad. Costco foodcourt isn't open until 3am..

Stumbled upon this place just a few months after Buzzworks opened on a random Thursday afternoon-ish. College ball was on the many tv screens displayed at this place, with a row of pinball machines to play from, and a nice hefty lists of beers they have on tap - is this heaven? Sat down and looked at the nice lists of beers they had on tap. Alfredo helped us out and even gave us a sample of what he was enjoying drinking at the moment. It was great. I love the conversation between everyone and it just felt very welcoming. I played a bit of pinball and had a few beers while I enjoyed watching the game. Alfredo definitely made the experience that much better as he was attentive to all his customers and joked around with us while we were having a couple beers. Definitely a place to check out!

Large space, plenty of seats, plethora of beer, good eats, TV's along the walls, pinball/pool tables, and friendly staff and customers. Buzzworks has it all. Their endless supply of beer displayed on the TVS and printed on the menus was a bit overwhelming. Me: Do you have 805? Bartender: We might have it... (looks through iPad/fridge/menu/pockets) Customer: Hey 805! That's from SLO Me: (GASP) You know 805?! Even he doesn't know what it is (points to bartender) Customer: Hi, what's your name? Funny how one can make friends from ordering a not so well known beer. I opted for a pilsner that the bartender recommended which was fine. We ventured upstairs by the pool table and a few minutes later, my chicken apple sausage arrived. The sausage and pickle on the side had a nice snap to it. Great alternative from my usual sports bar to grab a beer, watch a game, or hang out.

Great sports bar with a lot of space and lots of great draft and bottle beer options. There are a ton of TVs and 2 levels so almost whatever you want can be on (I assume). It's often low-key, and you can show up in a Spurs t-shirt and not be harassed. Really the biggest draw for me when it's not NBA playoffs is the pinball. They've got some excellent "classic" (Guns N Roses, Star Trek) and newer machines like Ghostbusters (based on the 1984 movie). Six of them total. You can order food made inside or outside (slight surcharge). The Joe Montana panini is very solid - I think it's just cheese and bacon and bread on a Foreman grill, plus a pickle, but it's good when you're hungry. Warning: the pretzels in the pretzel and cheese dip are not hot and soft, they're hard pretzels.

My friend and I were in the area and randomly stumbled upon Buzzworks as we were trying to look for some brews. It's a pretty big place in a warehouse like building with two stories and a wide selection of drinks to choose from. There are also some snacks you could order as well. Check in on Yelp to get $1 off any drink or wine. The guys that work there are super friendly. There's a variety of drinks either on tap or in a bottle / can. They even gave us complimentary pretzels. We went in the mid afternoon so it wasn't busy at all. Def a place to come and check out and grab some drinks!

YES! THIS is the bar I've been looking for! - not crowded - great TVs, showing tons of sports games - INCREDIBLE beer selection on both draft and in cans / bottles - entertainment: arcade games, foosball, pool - hipster but not pretentious beer drinking atmosphere Go Buzzworks! I kinda want to spread the word, but I do love that this place wasn't crowded during the OKC-GSW game last night... NBA Finals spot, anyone?

Great selection! We really liked how the menu was organized by styles ( IPA, Sours etc.) with the price and size of glass. Fast service and clean bathrooms.

Buzzworks is my favorite place in town to enjoy a beer or two, and take in a game. I've been there many times, about once every other week. It's where I watched the Superbowl and recently La Liga, both great party atmospheres. Even though the Real Madrid lost, there was dancing after the La Liga match! The craft beer selection is insane, but the staff (Alfredo, Justin and others) are always ready to make recommendations based on a description of what you want. There are pool tables upstairs, a cool green-lit foosball table, and tons of screens throughout showing some NFL, NBA games that interest me that don't demand the big 9-panel screen. I do wish they had better video games, but that doesn't take anything away from the place because I really go there for the sports and the excellent beer.

I had read about Buzzworks in a weekly article not long after they opened and was intrigued. A beer bar in the heart of the crazy club scene on 11th? Sounds good to me! So I scheduled a small work outing here on a weeknight to check it out. First, I was super surprised that it wasn't crowded. Maybe because it was a weeknight, or because there weren't any big sports games going on, but there were just a few different people inside. Though the space was quite big, with an upstairs area, so it would be able to fit a good amount of people and still be manageable. Second, and more importantly, the beer choices were quite good and plentiful. There was many to choose from in any beer category you could ask for. Among those that I tried, the Laughing Monk selections were particularly good as well as the Berryessa DIPA. Definitely a place to check out if you're into beer, and especially if you are someone who gets very disappointed at the prospect of spending a night at a club with shite beer. Stop here first and then spend less at the club later.

Met up with a friend here because we both happened to be in the city at the same time. I've never heard of or been to buzzworks before so didn't know what to expect. I thought it would just be your typical bar scene. I was pleasantly surprised by the arcade games, foosball, and pool tables (again I wasn't expecting this, and didn't have time to check yelp when my friend told me to come meet her here). It was a really fun experience as we played 3 games of foosball!! The atmosphere is super chill. I would definitely come here again and recommend it to other friends and family. This is more of a beer establishment, but they do sell wine as well (which is what I will be sticking to). I did have a little of my friend's cider which was really good as well.

BuzzWorks is a decent place to spend your time if you have a couple of hours to kill in the SoMa area. For about $6-8, you can have a great pint of beer and watch a ball game. If you're into classic arcade games or pinball, they have that too. However, food is super limited, and even an order of chips and salsa will set you back $7. Bring some dollars and quarters, and relive your childhood with some pints. If you're feeling DNA pizza and their food, you can order it at the lounge, but it will be an extra $1 on top of what the regular DNA price is because they charge when you bring in outside food. At least it's acceptable-ish?

Sports bar with huge selections of beers on draft and in bottles. Pretty big space with high ceilings. They have a second floor with tables and pool tables. They have a good amount of tvs to watch games. They also have a couple of pinball machines by the entrance. Their food menu consists of nachos, sandwiches, hot dogs, and food from DNA pizza. They have a partnership with DNA pizza which is right next door which offers pizza, tater tots, appetizers, breakfast, sandwiches, salads. They will deliver it over to your table. The loaded tater tots are good! Overall good place to grab drinks with your friends and watch games.

Was here on Saturday, 4/14 in the afternoon with a group of 5 people. The bouncer made racist comments to my friend as we went in. After we were inside, I let the bartender know that we were leaving because the bouncer was unacceptable. He said that the bouncer was just drunk and that they sent him home. Appreciate that he was sent home, but it seemed like his actions were brushed off. Not okay in my book, definitely will not be going back.

Mic check, mic check. Hey, is this thing still on? I'm dusting off the good old Yelp account three years later to write a long-overdue review for one of my favorite new watering holes. Buzzworks is, hands down, my vote for the best taproom in the city. They have 40 rotating taps, and a huge screen that lists all of the current taps, divided by beer style. Find one that sounds intriguing, but you're not sure you want to commit to a full glass? No problem, your friendly bartender (and they are ALL friendly, no snobs here) will gladly pour you a taster and give their personal opinion on the brew. They will take your preferences into account when giving recommendations too. With over 100 bottles in their massive refrigerator, you're sure to find one of your favorite standbys if you're not on the adventurous side. They've branched out a bit, food wise, with their new NFL brunch menu, and I couldn't be happier. Previously, they only had small bar snacks: nachos, a meat and cheese platter, etc. My North Carolina style pulled pork bbq slider was fantastic, heaping with pork, a vinegary coleslaw, and served on a brioche bun with chips on the side for only $5. I had a delicious soju bloody mary to wash it all down, garnished with a spicy pepperoni stick and half a salad on the celery. They only have a beer and wine license, so vodka was not an option. They were my headquarters for the Olympics, and you'll likely find me parked at the bar every Sunday for football. - look for the girl in the Broncos hat! You'll find some good natured football fans cheering on their teams (and lightheartedly ribbing others). They show as many games as possible on their gigantic screens above the bar. I think I counted 7 games being shown all at once. Get out of your comfort zone, and give this place a try. You won't regret a moment of it.

Big TV's, Big Beers, Big fun! I love the 'rotating' guest beers! A great place to watch a game. I've never tried the food there, but part of their menu is delivery from DNA pizza (which is terrible) so skip that, but you can bring in your own food so its all good! Go with your friends and enjoy a few pints! See ya soon Buzzworks!

I came here for a group event, and overall it was great. The upstairs space was really spacious and I was impressed with the variety on the beer list. But nut allergies beware! I ordered a stout from the bar and only realized after I looked it up on Untappd that it was a peanut butter stout. Luckily I hadn't had any yet, and the bartender was very kind in helping me replace it with something I wasn't allergic to. I just wish that the beer menu included more descriptions of the beers (and especially allergen content) in the first place.
