Chug Pub

Bartender was super friendly! Had a great time. Great local pub.

The owner was so attentive and nice to us, extremely humble and kind, and we were a group of 20 people! Food was so so good and healthy, reminded me of quality food from a Mexican household. Amazing service, great prices & food, and overall extremely familiar environment. Definitely stop by if you are in San Francisco!!!! Thanks for the service guys!

Seems like my kind of place. Very quiet right now waiting for karaoke to fire up at 9:00 p.m. on this wonderful Tuesday. I am confident the rest of the night will not disappoint.

Loved that we can play pool and sit outside. One draft beer tasted a bit off, and there was pretty bright ceiling lights by the pool table for a bar.

Cool place, good food, nice staff. We'll come back if in the area.

A great dive, throwback to a better time. Trish is amazing. Crowd was friendly. Prices were reasonable. Pool table looked flat and well maintained.

Nice place to hang out at good drinks plenty of tvs to watch and a pool table had a good time here and the food is great and cool bartenders and chef

I absolutely love this place! Steph the bartender was amazing!!!! The music people and vibes were great!

It's just a neighborhood watering hole. No food - we thought they had tacos but to be clear that's if you order from one of the nearby taquerias and bring it in! Big tv though. Pretty quiet. Nice service.

Great neighborhood bar. TVs scattered around for games, a pool table and food. Happy Hour as of April 2025 is M-F, 4-6pm Convenient seating, since it's at the corner of 19th and Lincoln, parking is rough. Easy to uber, bus, or walk here. Staff is friendly, with heavy pours and about 8 beers on draft.

Cool spot to come for a drink, a bite, and a game! They have a few different TVs throughout the place and are able to play a handful of games/shows at once. Trish, our wonderful and fun bartender was happy to change the TV and put on a game we wanted, as well as get the sound going for us. Drinks and food were both good, and very reasonably priced. They had a nice variety of beers on draft, a couple different seltzer options, and a full bar.

We loved it here! As kids who grew up here then have traveled away and returned as adults...we indulged in the coziest, friendliest spot right off the path from the park. TRISH made us feel so welcome, cleaned off a table for us to play cards on and took wonderful care of us. Made us yummmmmmy drinks and feel at home. Thank you

I loved the energy and set up of this bar/restaurant. We went for my friend's birthday and the bartenders were very welcoming and accommodating. We reserved a few tables and were able to bring our own cake to celebrate! There's also a pool table in the bar and a Mexican restaurant connected to it. The bar/restaurant is located across the street from golden gate park which is convenient/nice if you're looking for a park day before heading over. Overall good drinks, food, and great service.

We order takeout/delivery from here often. Why? B/c all the food tastes fresh & they follow directions submitted via delivery. We give 5/5 for chicken Asada nachos. The chips are fresh, crispy & delicious. They put the wet ingredients on the side so they don't get soggy. Their salsas are awesome, our favorite is the salsa verde. The BRC burrito is probably our favorite in the city.

Came here after a class that was in the neighborhood. Good vibes inside, decent variety of beer, and food was good. We got beers and tacos. The crispy tacos weren't greasy and all of them tasted really great. The chips and salsa with the food was also a nice little side. Chips super crispy which I love and salsa had a nice kick to it. Lots of tvs inside and a pool table. It was a chill place to stop in on a Friday night.

This bar is the best! The staff is so friendly and welcoming and you feel like a regular on the first visit! Come for Karaoke Tuesdays! It's so much fun! What gives this place its charm is definitely Trish! She is truly a hilarious angel

I for one did not expect there to be good food at a bar, but I stand corrected haha. We came here after a concert in the city and this was one of the few places that was open later in the evening. A bar on one side and a few rows of tables on the other, it's a dimly lit but comfortable place to hang out with friends and get some yummy burritos, tacos, wings, fries, & beer. Enjoy.

Best bar in Sunset. Staff is absolutely incredible. Tried switching it up several times and I always end up back here. There is no other bar with better service.

This is such a great local bar. Every time I come here I have fun- alone and with friends. Make sure and look for Trish behind the bar- she's such a legend.

Anna- decided to decline me and my friends drink orders... in what world is this ok??? Never have I EVER experienced this before. Not only did she decline our orders, she laughed in our faces and preceded to only talk to the men near us. This bar should be ashamed to have a bartender that acts this way to their customers.

AMAZING bar in SF! Great vibes and awesome people/ staff. Felt like I knew everyone there for years. Walking distance from Golden Gate Park too. Definitely go

Great local vibe, friendly bar staff and happy hour M-F. Also on some Wednesday or Thursday great giveaways.

Last Friday Jan 14 my 1st time there. I was mtg my friend Moe. In the mean time John the manager. Way festive he made a real good Moscow mule. I also Tish bar tender. Love it ! As I'm ready to leave. John the manager says Hey Karen he remember my name. I walk with cane he says let me help you. I ask John I says Can I catch the 29 Bus. John says No I'll send you a. UBER. That is a Classy State of art 1st class Manager. No one ever has offer. To me John had me at Hello. John has an amazing fun loving,loyal Manager. Everyone came in. Hey John truly by far I met Eric Bar Tender. Tish so darling. Million dollars. I would suggest Go there great music pool tables. Festive fun fabulous ! I'm in my early 60's live in the sunset area. Love mtg people

ANNA- bartender had a dress with her boobs nearly spilling out. Gives ALLLLLLL her attention to the men at the bar. Zero regard for the women I wanted a BLOODY MARY and she had the AUDACITY to say it's $150.00........ on what planet does a Bloody Mary costs that much. I don't know how the hell she still has a job there. She was HORRIBLE laughed in my face proceeds to tell the guy next to me how funny it was so he could laugh too. She should literally be fired by horrible she was. I would ZERO ZERO ZERO stars if I could. Literally unexpectable behavior

Anna- Very dirty and rude bartender laughed in my face when I tried to order drinks. We ordered a simple drink and she said "HA! That'll be 30 dollars each." And then continued to talk very bad about me to another customer. As we walked she pretended to spit on us. She should not have a job.

Typical dive bar but what stood out was the service from the bar girl. I did not get her name but I had no issues getting my drink on and I've found a great place in the sunset district. Plus the location is around ocean beach and very close to Golden Gate Park. This place is awesome

It's been almost a solid decade since I've been back to Chug Pub, and it's good to see some things don't change. It still has that vibe of SF sports bar without pretension, but alas some things do have to change. I like that the pandemic has turned this place into more of a locals bar instead of a frat bro hangout (no more beer towers). Casa Barajas is an okay addition, but honestly, the food used to be better. And, for more of a locals bar, the overhead music overpowers everything. You'll end up screaming at the people across from you all night.

So, we did end up going again. No one answered the phone before but now that I think about it, it's probably just to control the amount of To-go orders they get. The bartender was a really cool guy, he was super helpful with drinks and TV stuff. The lady that takes the food orders was really kind as well. The food here is SO good. We've decided the steak is the way to go - meat wise. It's flavoring is just amazing. We got the nachos, a quesadilla and a burrito. The nachos with the carnitas is bomb. We regretted not getting the steak in the burrito because it was so, so good in the quesadilla. If I had to chose one thing to go back for it would be the quesadilla.

One of my favorite bars in San Francisco! Such a great place to watch any and all sports games (they have so many TVs and are willing to change the channel if you ask politely). Everyone that comes here is super nice and gets along well, there is such a community feel here! Also with relatively cheap happy hour specials, how could you go wrong here! I love to take my friends that are visiting here to watch a game after showing them golden gate park and ocean beach! And after if you're hungry, the Taco Shop at Underdogs is perfect for some drunk food and just a short walk away!

This is my friends' newest hangout spot. I finally decided to grace my presence upon them this past weekend. Haha. =P We got the beer tower. $30 for 3 liters of beer. Kinda pricey. But it includes a free appetizer per tower. The garlic fries and nachos are pretty good. Drawbacks about the towers: nothing to keep the beer cold and must pour verrrry slowly to avoid the head. $1 pool and 50 cents Marvel vs Capcom. Not a bad way to spend Saturday night! =D

Chug been straight for large parties and sport events... But tonight, my wife n me had the pleasure to be cater by this petite tender named Dias. Yo she Hella dope. Look out Monday nights.

Ordered Uber Eats from here. It was HELLA surprisingly good. I was sober and it was bomb. Imagine if you were drunk! 10/10 would order from here via Ubereats.

Well, I read that this pub's food is better than expected, but I was pleasantly surprised nonetheless. The slight char (not burn!) on the tortilla takes the burrito to the next level even though the ingredients inside are average or just below. The house chips are excellent. Love the crunch and the thickness. Not stale at all.

QUICK GUIDE! Lots if TV's, one pool table that is free on Sundays! Happy hour 4-6 where all the draft beers and wells are $3 off. Thursdays are ALL DAY $3 wells + Trivia night $2 Tecate on TUESDAYS There's also amazing mexican food! Usually closes 10-10:30pm $10 Spin the is Wheel where you can win pitcher of margarita, pitcher of any draft of your choice, 6 pack tecate, Cazadores repo margarita, nachos + pint ETC! Smoking patio also available

Amazing place to become a regular. All of the bartenders here are attentive, down to earth, and capable. Namely, Trish and Joslyn are both amazing people who always do their best to facilitate a great experience. They will happily engage in conversation about practically anything! The crowd is friendly and very accepting and they have a pool table to boot. Another big plus is the bar includes an a-m-a-z-i-n-g mexican food restaurant (separate business) renting out the kitchen in back. Be sure to try their carnitas burrito and churros! Chug pub is a great place for pretty much any situation a bar might include.

We checked out the outdoor seating at Chug Pub yesterday, and really enjoyed the experience. It seems like a really fun bar, and they were bumpin some cool music. They have about 8 or so tables outside (we were able to snag one of the last two open tables at about 7), and they're currently requiring folks to order food from Casa Barajas, which is inside of the bar, in order to be seated outside. Their beers are pretty reasonably priced, and the bartender was incredibly fast and friendly! He was attentive to all of the tables, running out and checking on everyone often. We'll probably be back during quarantine, and we can't wait to come back once operations are fully back to normal in the future.

Came here for the pats vs steelers game on Sunday and had a blast. Sat at the bar and the bartender, Nicki, was very attentive to all the patrons there for game night.Major props to her since she was the only bartender the entire night. This pub is perfect to come watch any sporting events. There's food and good drinks and there are like 8 tvs here!! There's also a pool table and a basketball arcade game. So whats not to like?!? Crowds do get rowdy during game time but that's normal for a sports bar. We ordered 2 beers and the garlic fries, Bill came out to be about 23 dollars...not bad for a 3 hrs stay at th3 bar. Garlic fries were good and is very big!! If I wasn't out of town during super bowl weekend, I'd definitely come and watch it here...maybe next year then!!

On my favorites places to go when I was a student at SF State. I just so happened to stop by this past week to meet up with friends and was reminded of why this was always an ideal spot to go to on Friday and Saturday nights. I was here this past Thursday and it was the best timing and day to be there. It was not crowded at all and my group had plenty of space to roam around without bumping into other patrons. The beers on tap were only $3 as well which was awesome. I believe there were only 2 bartenders working at the time or maybe they had just switched shifts, not sure. The pool table was open and available as well which was nice. The other games I saw that they provide here are Jenga and a home arcade basketball game. As for the bathrooms.....I'll let you experience that for yourself! Overall, a good night and good drinks. #ThirstyThursdays

I'm a lush that doesn't like bars (a total oxymoron); I prefer lounges instead. BUT, Chug Pub is my favorite bar in SF! PROS: *Strong drinks and fairly priced drinks (~$8) *HH is 3PM - 8PM ($3 beers and $3 well cocktails) *BOMB ASS GARLIC FRIES *Friendly bartenders *Chill crowd that's not too Asian (i.e. FOBs) like other Sunset neighborhood bars *Flat screens, pool table, and video poker machines *Enclosed outdoor patio for smoking CON(S) *BEWARE of the concrete mystery log right outside the front door. I've always tripped over it or fell backwards over it. *sigh* I've only gone to Chug Pub on weeknights so I'm not sure how it's like on the weekends. But if you're having one of those "days", the $30 Chug Tower is the be all and END all of it.

Stopped by Chug Pub after dinner one evening with some friends. It had an Irish pub feel and was fairly spacious with adequate seating. Also equipped with a pool table and an old school arcade video game. I never knew about beer towers until I witnessed them here! $30 per tower of beer (approx 7 pints) and came with fries or nachos...score! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rPwB56EQ9JfEo2mN24fqOQ?select=9JFFMAklyYHz54C46XpaIA) The garlic fries were pretty addicting but the nachos were just alright. Not the best deal for your money in terms of the beer but it was still a fun experience. The owner/workers were polite when kicking us out at the end of the night too. haha Even gave us bottles of water for free! Great hangout spot for a chill night in the city!

This place is a local sports bar off of 19th and Irving with domestic taps, a full bar and a resident mexican pop-up restaurant within. The place has 3 TVs and a projector for the wall. The bar also included a pool table and a smoking area for those who partake. 21+ only and better that way, the bar feature many locals and sports fans during game day. Get there early on game days to save yourself a seat!

Thanks to one of my besties (whom I haven't seen in almost a year) who dragged me and Lovie out last Friday night. This was the location of our impromptu reunion. When we walked in and saw our friends, there was something else that caught Lovie's eye: this cylinder full of beer! Oh boy, I haven't seen his eyes light up so wide since the first time he laid eyes on me ;-) Lovie was so amazed at the sight. And at 30 bucks for 7 pints of Blue Moon with an appetizer of choice, we were chug chugging the night away. Mucho props for serving food all night at good prices. 5 bucks for a basket full of onion rings were greasy deliciousness. And those cheese and salsa fries were just as good! Boo for closing at 1:30. With the pool table, video games, TVs, and hanging out with good friends, I wanted to stay longer! If you live in the Sunset, you have to check this place out!

"I'm getting ultimate fires at Chug Pub" is just about the sketchiest-sounding statement you could make about plans in the Sunset. It doesn't help that Chug Pub looks dark and stormy, there is a smoking room, the crowd is not the hip twentysomethings of SoMA, and overall ambiance reminds me of Moe's from the Simpsons. But once you get over the apparent sketchiness and appreciate it instead as divey, Chug Pub is a neat place: (+) Decent selection of beer on tap, and happy hour is $3 select pints until 6pm. We actually got there a little after 6 and the bartender didn't notice, but she still gave us HH on our first drinks. Cocktails are hit-or-miss and somewhat inconsistent in terms of strength. (+) Pool table and Pacman arcade games. Fee-for-service, but these games are entertaining in themselves and ridiculously amusing after a few dranks. (+) Many TV's. The extent to which I follow sports is mostly limited to what I passively absorb on my Facebook newsfeed, but for all normal people out there who watch sports, I like how there are plenty of TV's so you don't have to turn around and sit at weird angles. (+) The food is pretty amazing. Unlike overpriced generic burgers and fries you find at most bars (or worse, no food), Chug Pub gets creative and has used psychoanalytic optimization to concoct the best drunchies food of your imagination. We stopped by for drinks one night and saw some people eating what essentially looked like In-N-Out animal fries on steroids, so we made it a point to go back. The ultimate fries are indeed the ultimatum of bar food: a basket of waffle fries bigger than your face, generously slathered with cole slaw (yes, veggies!), pulled pork, bacon, BBQ sauce, jalapenos, and topped with a RUNNY fried egg and DINO CHICKEN NUGGETS. I know the exaggeration looks funny in a review, but it exactly illustrates my excitement :D Although the ingredients were mostly canned/frozen/bottled, everything together was delicious. Also, the portion was large enough to feed two hungry people for dinner (and probably more for post-prandial late-night drunchies). (?) Parking? If you plan to chug, you should not be driving :P

Chug Pub is small looking but it's a long bar. not a lot of seats. many flatscreens up tuned to my channels HH: 4-6, $3 wells, beers drips: -lots of various hard liquor available too. -parking is iffy in this area. -thursday has more beer on special (stella, blue moon,..) 3..5 stars. too claustrophobic for me.

Fun atmosphere. The perfect place to get together with friends and grab a drink. Get there early because it tends to get packed. Definitely go for the beer tower! It's $35 and comes with either garlic fries or nachos - the perfect drunchies. :) The fries are better IMO - they're easier to eat, less messy and taste better.

1) Don't judge me for going to Chug Pub on a Tuesday night. I like avoiding massive crowds from time to time. 2) Don't judge me for ordering the biggest beer for the cheapest dollar on the menu. We're in a recession! 3) The bartenders are friendly and seem to check up on us whenever our glasses looked nearly empty (how do they know?!). 4) The bathroom is clean. I mean, actually clean.

I came here after hearing from a friend that they had Uyghur (central asian) food but was disappointed to find out that they are not serving any at least for the next few months. Decided to stay regardless and had a few drinks and some tacos (their menu has a small number of mostly Mexican options plus some random stuff like bruschetta and cheese bread). They were also out of a few menu items so the already small menu got even smaller. Drinks are fine- decent pours and they had a pretty good beer selection. The food was okay, nothing too special. There wasn't a lot that separated this from other bars and I'm not sure if I would come back unless I happened to be nearby or maybe if they brought back the Uyghur menu. Not bad but not particularly memorable or interesting either.

I went here to for my 21st birthday with some friends and my boyfriend and we had a great time. The interior was typical pub fair, but what I first noticed was the Pringles dispenser near the door. Genius! The bartender was very nice and she told me a happy birthday, which I appreciated. Our group settled in the smoking room, which is a little section of room open to the side walk. My bf ordered the "Beer Tower" which, in my opinion, was absolutely beautiful, haha. As the night went on we had more drinks and just had a chill time. When we arrived at the pub there was hardly anyone there (we went on a Saturday night) but after a while more people came in, even a group of guys in fake moustaches and beards! I wanted to know what the reason for the fake facial hair was (and to ask for one myself, haha) but they left before I got a chance to. Oh well. The food was ok. I ordered a burger and fries and they weren't anything special, but my bf did say the food can be pretty good but it varies. What I didn't really like was that there were no toilet seat covers in the bathrooms, but nothing like setting some toilet paper down can fix. I enjoyed Chug Pug as my first bar and I would be happy to go again.

Pretty much my FAVORITE local bar in the Sunset (although i know it's slim pickins out here, regardless, it's still a class-act joint). Anyone who kicks it at the Chug Pub has obviously fulfilled the prerequisite of just being cool. Everyone, from the attentive bartenders, management, David the cook/barback, and even the local patrons are all pretty chill and super nice! PROS: Awesome happy hour: $3 beer and wells from 4-8pm Delish pub grub: Chicken tenders, wings, and the burger I love! Hella TVs: you're free to request the game of your choice Bathrooms R Clean! 'Nuff said. THE VIBE! super chill, fun-loving, generally nice crowd n staff. CONS: I'll have to write another review when I think of some ;)

Great prices on pitchers and has all the bay area sports games on! The only problem is that it is hard to find a seat when any game is on because it is a small bar. Haven't tried the food yet, but I hear good things about the asian food here! First time seeing asian food at a sports bar haha!

I like this bar, you know why? because of the cool Pringles vending machine they have haha, look at my photo, so cool. Nah, not only that they have a great variety of beers and ciders also a TV on every freakin wall spot if you want to watch a sports game. I also tried my 1st Snake bite, Guiness floated on top of pear cider, weird. The only weird experience I had was a girl telling me she was pooping and her stall door was wide open then she proceeded to read a poem off the wall to me while I was in the other stall peeing..ummm awkward!

Visiting the area & so far everyone's been very nice & inviting. After a long day of sight seeing all I wanted was a good burger & a beer. This place did not disappoint. The bartender was very nice, super welcoming. Greeted us as soon as we walked in. Had our drinks in front of us in less than 5 minutes. Ordered cheese burger, carnitas torta, 3 tacos, 2 fries & 1 Cajun fries for a total of $48 with 18% tip. Nice deal. And the red salsa tasted like my mom's . This bar also has 1 pool table, a couple of games, tv's with sports. Definitely would recommend!

This place almost has the pub feel down, but not entirely. Which is fine! The bartender is super adorable and very nice and answered some dumb questions I had lol. The drinks are relatively average priced, so my wallet wasn't aching by the end of the night. I haven't tried their food but everything sounded delicious, and the prices seemed okay. The reason I knocked off a star is because they skip the jukebox songs that you pay for. If I paid for a song on the jukebox, I don't think it's fair to skip it. If I have to be subjected to everyone else's horrible taste in music, they have to suffer through one or two songs of mine as well haha. Not fair that you spend your money just for them to skip it. Otherwise this place is a really good place to meet up with friends, have a few drinks, some snacks, and just kick it :)

I hardly ever review pubs...why? Because I hardly ever go to them these days.... My friends visited from Portland and wanted me to show them SF. We did so by bus and BART from the East Bay.... n proud of it! Walking all day around the hills and crossing through GG Park left one member more parched than the others (the male member!)... We found this cute, charming pub during their HH and he enjoyed the set while we chatted. The pear cider was really, really excellent and the selection of beers on tap was plentiful. From a female perspective, I think the place is really charming! Affordable pub-going.... Would stop again for a pint any day....

Came here by myself on Superbowl Sunday, to watch it with a bunch of random people! It was packed. I had a hard time making my way to the bar, but I finally did and ordered a newcastle and fish n chips. 14.75 or something close to that. I opened a tab because CC minimum is $15. The fries were overly salty, I understand why... it's a bar and they're trying to sell alcohol. The fish was yummy. I'd recommend it. They give tartar sauce, ketchup, and they have sirracha sauce somewhere, just ask. When Q1 was ending, I was going to go to another bar (different bar for each quarter), I wanted to pay by credit card, so I ordered a PBR + Jager for 6 dollars. Drowned my sorrows, and moved to the next bar. There's a good selection of beers and a full bar. The bartenders are fairly nice, funny, and some are attractive. There are a good amount of TVs around, which made this place ideal to watch the superbowl. Now, I've been hearing about the beer tower, which I have not gotten a chance to try, but I'm so down! I'll add another review when I return for this. Definitely coming back soon!

After spending a couple hours walking around Haight Street and checking out the Conservatory of Flowers, my friends and I headed over to meet up with some other friends for happy hour. I saw some good reviews on Chug Pub via Yelp, so I suggested that we all meet there. Not a hole in the wall nor a fancy schmancy kind of bar, Chug Pub is a good balance of both. The kind of bar you want to meet up with friends after a long day of work and just hang out (kind of like MacLaren's Bar in How I Met Your Mother). For you fellow beer lovers, you'll love this place simply for their beer towers. When I walked in, I saw this ginormous tower sitting between two of my guy friends. If I remember correctly, I believe he said for $30, you get the tower and two appetizers (don't mark my words though). Score! If that's just too much beer for you, then go during happy hour - $3 beers! Plus, if you walk further back into the bar, there are some typical bar games (billiards, pool, arcade games, etc.) The service there is pretty good too. While I was ordering a round of Irish car bombs for my friends, one of my gfs said that she doesn't like Irish car bombs. So, I asked the bartender if there were any other bombs she'd recommend. She suggested a Cherry bomb ( I don't remember what's in it, sorry). Apparently it was pretty tasty because my friend tried ordering it again the next night when we were at a lounge. Clean, local, chill, and good service from the friendly bartenders. Definitely coming back again!

Strong drinks + very tasty curly fries AND garlic fries = rowdy 5's who think they're 10's with filthy fingers. Always had a good time here, more so because of the company and not so much of this particular joint. Nonetheless, it's a nearby place for us to meet.
