"A fire occurred at the parklet of Blue Light bar last week, causing damage and prompting a quick response from bartenders and firefighters. Surveillance footage suggests the fire was started intentionally. There were no injuries, but a significant portion of the parklet was burned." - Dianne de Guzman

The bar vibe is good in night in blue lights. The mango margarita was ok and very cold was not able to drink 😵‍💫. Good spot for friends gathering. Beer pong table available too that was fun to watch.

Went there on Taco Tuesday, great prices and excellent birria tacos! I was watching the NBA playoffs here. The only thing I’d say is that they didn’t have any volume for the sports, they instead had Mexican music being played. It was fun and I really enjoyed the vibe, but that particular day I would’ve rather opted for the sports audio! Definitely recommend though! Again, yum birria!

Guy with dreads who works there and may or may not be the bouncer was aggressively BARKING at people walking by this establishment seeming to want to start fights with them. Never been and now would never go

Came here for New Year’s Eve for the bar crawl event and the service was horrible. Obviously it’s New Year’s Eve and it’s busy so I had no problem waiting but when I finally placed my drink order the waiter completely disappeared and left my card behind the bar. I tried to flag down my bartender multiple times and eventually he left from the behind the bar and could not be found. Highly unprofessional! I literally had to go behind the bar to find my card and got into an argument with the bartender because of it. Maybe give people their cards back when they say they’re ordering one drink and closing their tab out??? Awful experience

Favorite dive bar in SF. Just met Dave and Dom, my new favorite bartenders in the city! there’s a pool table in the back, great tunes, and the new food/tacos that they’re serving up are solid. There’s also a photo booth for those drunken good times. ;) will be coming back.

Marina is not my scene. If yours, lots of college kids. Not a local bar at all… Kids looking for “San Francisco” vibe. Pool table area is way to small to actually work

I’ve been for the Taco Tuesday and the Wing Wednesday. Both were a ton of food for a good price, definitely going back for the $2 beers
