The 15 Best Sports Bars in San Francisco | Eater SF

"The Boardroom, now joined to the former location of Capp’s Corner, added more TVs, outdoor seating, a pool table, and a bigger menu of bar snacks, which still includes its signature bacon-wrapped tater tots. There’s even Tequila Trivia Tuesdays, which start at 7:30 p.m." - Dianne de Guzman

The 17 Best Sports Bars In SF

"We don’t walk around with a pitch counter, but we’re pretty sure The Boardroom has more screens than any other bar in North Beach. They also have solid wings (get the honey garlic), and if you’re here for Monday Night Football, you can get them for 50 cents each. Instead of ye old sports paraphernalia, there are surfboards, skateboards, and slushy machines. This place feels more like a casual meet-up spot (boardroom, get it?) than a sports bar. You don’t actually need to like sports to have fun here." - lani conway, julia chen 1, will kamensky

Super Bowl 2022: Best Restaurants and Bars to Watch the Game Around San Francisco | Eater SF

"Though this bar features a plethora of surfboards, it’s a classic North Beach corner to catch all kinds of sports. We’ve hyped this spot in the past, and for good reason. Whether it’s their Tequila Trivia Tuesdays or for the day in question, it’s tough to beat this corner hang." - Paolo Bicchieri

Awesome pub that my husband and I stumbled across while in town, the staff was helpful and prompt and it’s clear they love their furry patrons as well !! We had the mini corn dogs and loaded nachos with chicken (we destroyed them so no picture evidence lol) also had a couple beers and were able to watch baseball and soccer while hanging out! Highly recommend!

Awesome bar. None of that tourist stuff here. Locals only, and me…the tourist 🤣 Super cool staff. Met the GM too and she’s great as well. Absolutely love the vibe here.good selection of beer and the food is on point too!! Loved the wings and bacon wrapped tots

Really fun bar with a good selection of drinks and nice staff, but the food is very poor. I've come here multiple times over the last few years and have consistently had a fun time whenever I've just gotten beer, but whenever I get food I am always disappointed. The chicken sandwich I ordered yesterday was ridiculous-- the chicken on it was paper thin and absolutely not worth the ~$15 price plus the price of tots (I posted a picture to show the absolute joke of a chicken patty on my sandwich) and the philly cheese steak I had the last time I ordered food here was bland and soggy. Definitely do not eat here, but for beers the ambiance is great and the bartenders are really nice

Good selection of beer and cocktails. Noticed a fair amount of daily deals as well. Bartenders were nice and attentive. Ordered the honey garlic boneless wings and the flavor was on point. Wouldn’t really waste your time on the mac n cheese bites though. Good local neighborhood bar.

Extra crispy tater tots and icy cold frozen margaritas in a few different flavors. There was even a frozen Irish coffee. Great crowds, sports on TV if you’re in to that. There are outdoor parklet picnic benches outside if you want to avoid the packed indoor seating. I thought the price for drinks and food was very reasonable. A great North Beach neighborhood local’s bar.

The Bored Room should be its new name ; what is the silly point of watching people with pituitary glands throwing balls into hoops. As you come down green street you get two bars acting as gateways , two toothless lions guarding entrance to north beach, both are deadly dull and it’s a relief to pass them.

Bacon wrapped tots are the MUST! Visited this place in August with a local friend who recommended this place to stop by! Indoor and outdoor seating available, TV's for sports and some bar games /fun activities to play on the spot also. Bartenders were super fun and people there are super easy-going! Great vibes!

Boardroom is such a fun sports bar! I came here with friends to watch the first NBA finals game. I got their boneless wings with buffalo sauce. They came with ranch and the chicken portion was substantial!! Almost couldn't finish these, but they were so good and the buffalo sauce was delicious! I also got the mini nachos from their happy hour menu, but these were anything but mini. The portion of these was also very generous and I couldn't finish them. They came loaded up with beans, cheese, pickled onions and peppers. These were really good too! There were lots of TVs inside and also TVs outside too. I'll definitely return here to watch sports games in the future!

Im giving this place 5 stars because the vibes rocked, my food was good but mostly because they fed my dog a plate of bacon. Me and my friend came for dinner pretty late at night, it was pretty empty and there was plenty of space for us and my dog. I got the tomato/arugula/burrata sandwich--no complaints. What I really fucked with was the sweet potato waffle fries and ranch...crispy and so good. My friend got the tacos. She's notoriously picky in my opinion and wasn't really a big fan. She said it tasted like the meat sauce you put in spaghetti but it's literally beef and she knew that when she ordered it so I don't know what to tell her lmfao. Idk I don't fucking eat meat. She confirmed they were indeed crispy. anyways, the queen behind the bar delivered not just a water bowl for my dog, but also some BACON STRIPS. man had the best feast of his life. Thanks boardroom, whenever I come back to SF next, I'd def come back to you !

Came by on a Thursday around 8pm! I tend to try the tater tots at bars if they have them, and I think the tots here are the best I've had! Perfectly crispy and a good portion as well! If you're a sauce person, I will say that I think there's not enough ketchup provided for the amount of tots you get. Haven't tried their drinks yet, but would definitely recommend the food!

I have ordered pick up from this place numerous times and it is always exactly what I expect in the best way. They'll even deliver the food directly to you at NorthStar Cafe across the street! Pretty standard menu but everything is done well. Really nice servers and bartenders and a cute interior with plenty of seating and plenty of tvs to watch the game!

This is specifically a review for the Tuesday Trivia at 7:30pm! You need to make sure to get there pretty early if you want to snag a table, it was absolutely packed! But totally understand why, it was super fun and well organized! Winners get prizes ranging from $40 in bar credits to bottles of mini sparkling wine. In terms of food, the totchos felt the most worth for the price (huge portions for $10) as opposed to the burgers ($12-14). Ordering got a bit backed up so you do have to wait for a while, but the main star of the night is the trivia not the food. Definitely will come back again for the fun night!

Great drinks and filling food, but the real draw is weekday trivia, which is one I've most enjoyed in the city. We got super lucky our friends had arrived uber early and secured a whole table outside, because we would not have been able to be seated otherwise. The trivia master was excellent, and I found the references to be culturally varied and play to the strengths of our somewhat age-and-background diverse group (answers range from billy joel to the Chinese zodiac to simply "yeet"). There were several rounds, which is ideal if you want something to slowly chip away at your unfounded trivia self-confidence but give you a fun time nonetheless. Two very memorable ones were (1) the pattern round, where all the answers to the questions were related to each other in some way (we found one pattern correctly and the other incorrectly; it was a blast) and (2) the music round, the results of which you could not waterboard out of me. Needless to say, we were quickly gunning for the "most average" team (we did not win that title either, but maybe next time). Our trivia master was friendly and welcoming, and we got to chat with him at the end. He mentioned that his regulars get a sense of the hints and patterns in his questions which adds yet another layer to the game, but you didn't hear that because we're using all we can to come in first time time.

Their foods totally sucks. I put in an order and ordered a gluten free bun because I have Celiac Disease. I usually don't have any issues when I order anywhere. Half way thru the burger, I'm like this bun is not breaking up like gluten free buns do and quit eating it. A few hours later, I was horribly sick at work and the parking lot at work and in Safeway's parking lot. Thanks' for not reading the order and making a change to accommodate yourself.

Solid bar to watch games and enjoy some drinks and/or bar food. The food wasn't my favorite but everyone else in our group really liked it, so maybe it was just me being picky. It's fine for bar food I guess. Drinks were okay, but certainly nowhere near the best in the city. Service was okay, you have to order at the bar and sometimes it gets super busy. One of the bathrooms was out of order so it took a while to get into the other one, then when I did, drunk morons were yelling at me after literally 1 minute to get out. We were definitely some of the only people there that weren't absolutely hammered. Fun dive with TV's and indoor and outdoor seating. The food and drinks are just okay. Some of the patrons are a little out of hand, so be ready for that kind of crowd.

I love going to The Boardroom for games, especially with lots of Oregon fans this bar is a great environment for drinks and sports. However, today the bouncer/security/ ID check point guy at the door was so outstandingly aggressive that my friends and I were so uncomfortable and had to leave. I'm a bartender myself and understand the importance of checking IDs and ensuring no fakes are getting in, but this guy (older gentlemen with a beard and cane) was on another level of paranoia about checking IDs. There were lots of big college games today and my friends and I got there before the bouncer came, so understandable he needed our IDs even tho we had already ordered drinks. But this behavior was unacceptable. First, my friend hands him her id and he accuses her of attempting to use her hand to cover her photo by saying "nice try with covering your photo"... she's 22 and may look young but none the less she is 22 and that was her real ID... whatever shrug it off. Next I go up and someone asks if they have to have their id, I joke and say "that must be your favorite question" he did not like that. My friend who lives around the corner met us and wasn't drinking and realized she didn't have her ID. She simply looks at her phone and the beard and cane man accuses her of attempting to show him a photoshopped ID photo? She was so weirded out by his aggressiveness she left. He then proceeds to aggressively tell us if anyone at our table doesn't have a stamp or is illegally drinking or sitting with us not of age we will be thrown out. Super fair, it's the law! I said we don't have anyone not of age drinking with us. He gets even more aggressive and angry and goes on a little more and that's when I said okay calm down (he was really really aggressive about a situation that hasn't even presented itself). I get in line at the bar to order a drink and after a moment he stands up, gets in my face and tells me to "not tell him to calm down nor how to do his job" I was stunned this man was so offended to get up in my face. I replied, "I'm not telling you how to do your job, but you are being very intense and could be kinder." He then says he will kick me and my friends out or he demands an apology. The nastiness in this man's voice demanding an apology for me simply saying calm down is crazy. I apologized in fear, but not for us getting kicked out, but that this man would cause a scene that he was obviously craving. I wish I didn't apologize. He then proceeds to check all the tables outside to ensure stamps and IDs, but specifically aggressively questioned and threatened our table, who has already legally spent a fair amount of money on drinks. That man should not be working in any setting with people, let alone be the first person a customer interacts with when arriving. I understand checking IDs, but his paranoia was on another level, he's surely waiting for the day to get a fake id and do god knows what. I don't know if it's a power-trip, insecurity, or mental health, but he needs to seriously learn about people before WORKING with people. I don't know what fake id undercover operation he thinks and fears people are running, but we are not apart of it and our LEGAL OF AGE IDS should've settled that. The man has some serious issues. I enjoy this place but if I ever saw that man at the door again I know me and my friends wouldn't even try to go in. This world is cruel enough, no need to be unreasonably cruel and aggressive when I'm just trying to get a drink and watch football!

Beware of this place's bouncer. My friend and I were really looking forward to trying out this place however when walked through the door I was unnecessarily grabbed and pinched on the arm by the bouncer who we didn't see going in because he was seated and it was crowded. His behavior was unacceptable and aggressive and you should be ashamed to have someone like that hired there. We are over the age of 21, would've been happy to have taken our ID's to comply with the law however we simply just didn't see him on the way in since he was sitting off to the side. Will not ever be coming back and do not recommend an establishment that allows this behavior to anyone.

Had a wonderful time at the Boardroom a few months ago to watch a Warriors game with some friends. It was busy but not too packed, with seating and even screens outside for people to enjoy. Service was also pretty quick for a bar, not only for the drinks and getting the attention of the bartender, but even for the food. We ordered a loaded tots platter which was huge, we had trouble finishing it even though we were four. The tits were surprisingly perfect and crispy, with a healthy dosage of topping which made it even more delicious. With a nice atmosphere, good service, and reasonable prices, it was a really enjoyable bar. I'd definitely come back for other events.

Just a classic SF bar with decently priced beers, good food from the kitchen, and a no frills crowd on weekdays. Can't say much about the weekend crowd, but I appreciated watching some games and being able to down my beers and my burger without being bothered. Bartenders are great, and I never had to wait long to get my next beer. I'll be back on the quiet days for more brews. I also like their selection of taps, which is more evenly distributed than a lot of other joints that mainly just serve the IPA crowd. It's not the prettiest of places or the plushiest, but it will definitely do the trick.

Came here spontaneously when I was looking for a cafe and a place to pee while waiting for a friend at an appointment. Bartender was friendly and pleasant. Decided to order food because reviews said the bacon wrapped tots are the deal. Yes, they're good. Crispy and fried. $10 - ok Ordered a $14 "Smoked brisket sandwich" on a soft roll with pickled onions. Asked for onions on side. What arrived was a small hoagie - with some brisket and pickled onions on the sandwich. I called this out because it was both cold and had the onions on the sandwich. Bartender took it back had them remake it. This time it came back small, onions on the side, but with purple cabbage "slaw" and jalapeños. Menu didn't mention anything about slaw or jalapeños. Ordered "fried spicy Brussel sprouts." Those were steamed and seemed to be maybe quickly reheated in a pan to make them appear fried. They were sad and not fried. $12 - I think not. Bartender was the best thing about this place. If you got the munchies, do that elsewhere. Too bad, because the same grub at a bar in Portland or Seattle would be both delicious and less expensive. Why even serve food if you don't have to if it's going to be meh? Craft beer selection is decent.

The first thing you should know about Boardroom is that it is truly a place where locals and tourists mingle. If you're visiting San Francisco, I can't recommend it highly enough - the regulars, the bartenders, and the bouncers will treat you like family. The bartenders in particular are kind and friendly people. I've been coming here every fall and winter Saturday for years now and they are genuinely sweet people who just want you to have a fun time at the bar. They will change the channel to your game; heck, they'll have it pre-tuned if you give them a days' worth of heads-up. That said, this is a VERY popular sports bar, so you should prepare yourself for friendly sports banter. The drinks are fairly priced and well-made. The food, on the other hand, is VERY good pub food, especially the chicken sandwich and their brunch options. If you have an early game, I strongly recommend Boardroom's breakfast burrito. I go to bars to have fun. To see people, maybe talk sports, and take a load off. Boardroom is a perfect bar for you to come as you are.

My husband and I were craving a burger, and we wanted to try someplace new. I haven't been to the speakeasy since they remodeled, so I thought it would be fun to try. We sat on the boardroom side, not knowing there was another side to the restaurant to get our burger. Lucky for us, our server, Tai, said we could stay and order our dinner. The burger was delicious, and the cocktails too! Tai was so lovely and very attentive. We look forward to going back.

This is a really fun North Beach bar-- great for watching a game or hanging out on a night out. I'm not usually one for bar food, but they absolutely knock it out of the park! The Caesar salad is top notch, and don't get me started on the tater tots. Great selection of beers, and the bar tenders are very nice. Good spot!

Stopped by this place during New Year's Eve as we were doing a bar crawl and this was the place to be checked in. Overall ambiance was okay but it smelled kind of musty inside. Maybe because of the Holiday and there being too many people? Not sure but we got out drinks and headed out to the next place afterwards.

We love this place for food when we are at NorthStar for Bills games. However, this particular evening we placed a large to go order which included nachos. The nachos were the only thing that did not come. I went back to see if they could make the nachos for us since we didn't receive them, and showed my receipt. The bartender responded with, and I quote, "I mean, what the f**k do you expect me to do about that" followed by "you didn't think to check the order before you left?" I would also like to add the bar was not busy at this time and they were not slammed. Some of the worst customer service I've ever received. Edit... the owner reached out to me directly after this and made it right and apologized profusely for the above. Thank you Keith!

I don't even know where to start. I came out tonight for a fun game of trivia but instead, I had a bartender named MATT ask me how long I've been in this country (because I am asian?).. After paying for my food, he asked me "how long have you been in this country?" I responded, "I've lived here all my life." He responded, "Well, do you know what it means to tip???" I literally did not even have 5 seconds to pull out my wallet and tip him as he proceeded to embarrass me in front of everyone I responded, "I'm sorry if I offended you, here's a 18% tip." ' I don't mind if you asked if I forgot to tip, but the ridiculous impatience and the fact that you questioned if I'm even from here is what makes it so disrespectful... I honestly do not know what triggered this, but I want to give the benefit of the doubt that this place has more potential and that you are probably a nice and not a racist person (highly unlikely), but your attitude did not reflect that. Thank you but I am sincerely sorry about this review.

I'm leaving three because the service was SO shitty, like he's had more important things to do than wait on me. However, I got a burger and tots. And they were AMAZING! The food was so good! Bartender? Would've has faster and nicer service if I got my own beer.

Great sports bar to catch a game, have some tasty bar food, and chill. They are a Clemson bar. I dont recommend the buffalo wings as they were very dry and didnt taste a whole lot like buffalo. The BBQ wings were great, nachos were tasty, and burger was good. Staff is very friendly.

Emily B.

Yelp
Pros: -Fantastic vibe during games! Often crowded and busy during gameday. -Hands-down the best trivia night I've found in the Bay so far (and I've tried a lot). -The trivia host is fantastic, and the format is top-tier bar trivia (PS - get there early, and expect 30+ teams). -Everyone I know loves Boardroom and are weekend regulars. -Menu offers a lot of variety and flavor for being bar food! I like the nachos and pulled pork sandwiches, and they're also both massive. Cons: -It takes a while to grab a drink because it is so busy. Navigating the bar area/entire place is like being packed in liked sardines. -If you don't arrive at least 45 minutes early to trivia, you will be standing (and that's probably 2-3 hours of standing). -Only 2 bathrooms, and they leave a lot to be desired. Neither here nor there, just good to know: -It's mostly outdoor seating, and in North Beach, so make sure you bundle up, especially during an evening of trivia. -It's always busy - aka a sign of a great bar, but be aware if you aren't looking for a ruckus! -Mostly 20-30-somethings (i.e., my crowd), but this is not a calm or quiet place - it's a young, loud, sports bar.

Boardroom quickly became my favorite bar food spot. They have an amazing Bloody Mary too. A bit expensive for drinks and wish they had happy hour deals on cocktails. Service is great and love the bartenders! Great place to watch sports, hangout, I even watched the Oscar's there.

I went here a while back and still haven't been back, due to my experience with a bigoted/homophobic staff member (I am not even gay, it was what he said.) I went for a Sunday Football game, everything seemed to be going fine. The bartenders and food were great. Then the "bouncer" shows up. (The place was pretty empty and he didn't need to be there.) He was small, 30's or 40's and wore a beanie. This man was the most obnoxious and rude person I'd ever met. He made several slurs including f*ggot and r*tard to the bartenders who didn't really want anything to do with the guy. Saying something to him would have just escalated the situation. He'd smoke a cigarette and come back saying something rude/ignorant moments later. I've promised never to go back after this experience and I hope you don't either. The guy made it super uncomfortable for all the patrons and was obviously just too dumb to realize it. The food and bartending staff were good, and I tipped them accordingly. But the "bouncer" destroyed the environment. Not sure how management thought this was a good idea.

The boardroom is a no frills bar with some of the best wings in the city. They have outdoor dining and on a Sunday with the sun beating down in chilly SF, this north beach staple is one of my absolute favorites. I love that they carry a nice selection of local beers and sport a full bar. I'll drink 4-5 beers (Altamont Mac Drizzle IPAs) and eat 18 wings no problem. Pro Tip-- If you like dry rub wings, theirs are amazing! I always do classic buffalo and the island wings. I got the nachos with chicken last time, but they were just alright. Stick to the basics. I like the staff here a lot! Cristen hooked me up with a table for Super Bowl and they were super accommodating the whole time. They keep pretty good COVID protocols. I love this place.

Private Event review Boardroom just started doing these recently as they finished their downstairs. We had a group of 80 come for a friend's going away and I am happy I selected this local sports bar. We got to have our own music playing, our own bartender, some party platters wings (spicy island is a house made sauce and delicious), bacon wrapped tots, and house nachos (huge portions for the price). They were super friendly and definitely tolerated our rowdy group so bless them for that. I had setup a hosted bar with $1000 and just had all the friends who came venmo me $30, after we went through the $1000 we had it turn to a cash bar. They have a big projector to play whatever sport event we want, but I am sure you can also have it play The Bachelor or whatever else is on Xfinity. If you are looking to have a private event this place is especially good because it's separate from everyone else so you don't have people bin your section. Service: 5/5 they were really accommodating and had the food coming out quickly for us and always had someone around picking up our empty cups. Our bartender JP was great also

Great spot to watch games and solid classic bar food. College football Saturdays can get kinda rowdy and crowded. Bathroom usually gets nuked at a certain point in the afternoon on Saturdays. You will see SFFD stroll by to say what's up. Every time. Without fail. Good vibes all around.

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IVE EVER EXPERIENCED. If Matt is bartending, avoid him at all costs. Unless he avoids you... then you'll never get served. I cannot believe he is a bartender at an acclaimed bar. He threw a menu in MY FACE when asking if they had a cocktail menu. He then proceeded to walk away and did not serve me. Finally when actually being attentive to my drink order, I asked if the bartenders were switching shifts and if that was the reason why he was ignoring me. He said yes, then proceed to ask other guests for their drink order. The other bartender ignored me until I asked him if he was serving beverages. He said yes. It's such a joke. Is it THAT hard to get a drink? I'm begging to get a cocktail and you won't serve us? Apparently every man in SF deserves a pitcher of beer before me. I had no idea they discriminated against women here. Again, DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!

We used to come to boardroom every week and took anyone that was visiting us from out of town here because we loved it so much in the beginning. However I will never return here because of the horrible service. The bartenders and bouncers just take shots and drink all day then go on a power trip and want to yell at everyone for no reason at all. We would spend hours here at a time with many friends, therefore bringing a large bill lots of $ to the establishment. We are never a rude crowd and extremely courteous but would not recommend this place to anyone.

Outdoor seating! Typical Sports bar and Bar food on the hills of San Fran. Nice view overlooking the Hills. Its a Clemson Fan Bar and of course the game was on and the Fans were there. Typical Sports Bar service. Might be a little noise and rowdy at times from the drunks.

Came in on a whim from the east bay, which we rarely do. Since we were early we decided to catch the Mexico Korea World Cup soccer game. Great small neighborhood crowd. Inexpensive drinks. Pretentiousness left at the door. Am I in Oakland? Aarón (aka Aaron) was an excellent bartender. Got a bloody and a screwdriver to start the day. Ordered a few other beers after that. What happens next? Justin the owner says he made pozole overnight and offers everyone in the bar complimentary pozole. Yes. Complimentary. Pozole. (See porn food photos attached). This most likely will not happen for you on another day, but I still think the gesture was great. Great weather. Great people. Great vibes. Come here n get a drink. I won't miss this spot in the future for any of our big games. I guess SF isn't so bad... :)

Boardroom has a special place in my heart. As a local who lived down the street from this establishment for 2 years, it is indeed one of the most popular watering holes in San Francisco for the younger crowd. The tater tots, chicken sandwich, and food was surprisingly good. If you don't mind paying $28 for a pitcher of beer, it's also not a bad place. The outside seating will only contribute to your flat butt, and during large sports events it's standing room only. One thing they really need to work on is the music. You're better off going to another bar if Sal Vulcano is on aux - trust me there. If they could just throw on some random Spotify playlist, I'd give this place another star. Patrick is a really cool dude. Probably won't remember your name, but he pours one helluva beer.

Re: racial event on Juneteenth perpetrated by bar tender Skyler towards Africans &African Americans and other POC, on the newly approved African American Federal holiday I frequented this establish on Juneteenth and was having a quite lovely time. The bar tender Adam was amazing and then things became horrid‼ The Bar Tender Skyler? Came on shift and was rude to a African Patron trying to get a drink. All the diverse patrons with the african male (Ade) had at that spent over $200 by this round and Ade was getting the next round. the Bar tender Skyler looked at the African male in disdain and eluded to the fact he did not think the African, Ade, had any money and ask the bouncer to remove the African, Ade, from the bar, there was no cause as Ade had ample cash of his person. The problem was a lost in translation with Bar tender Skyler, and the group tried to clarify the language barrier. Skyler wasn't willing to listen to the clarification from African ADE or his multicultural friends that also possess high class jobs in SF. Bar tender Skyler immediately became off hinged and kick Ade out with no offense committed, no dialogue, and after a significant of Capitol was spent in this bar by this group. I would implore the owners to train their staff especially Skyler on person biases and cultural competency. How to leave feelings at the door and after clock on they represent the bar and owner. Skyler would also benefit from equity inclusion and training and re-training in customer service and being professional. Thanks for your review of this situation. We the friends of Ade would also be willing to speak to a manager to further expound on this egregious encounter and how it Makes customers feels afterwards. It has an effect of customer referrals and word of mouth advertising and Yelp reviews.

If there's one area that locals avoid, it's North Beach. It's a pain in the ass to get to, it's infested with tourists, parking is beyond atrocious, and valet can costs as much as 3 boozy cocktails. When it comes to parking, I'm going to practice my rare, frugality methods. Shoot, I'm not going to waste money on valet parking that can be used for romancing the bottle. Yep, priorities. Tater Tot had his first grooming appointment in North Beach so we begrudgingly headed there on a Friday afternoon. The parking gods must have been looking over us because I scored awesome metered parking on Columbus street. We had 2 hours to kill after dropping him off so I thought I knock off some of my North Beach bookmarks that were collecting dust. First up: The Boardroom. I love that it's a scotch off the beaten path of touristy Columbus Avenue. And, unless the tourist is a Yelper, they're probably unlikely to find The Boardroom. I was hoping to be welcomed by the resident pooch that I've seen on Yelp pics but sadly, he wasn't there. It's ok though because we were welcomed by our super nice bartender who had a very distinctive Vin Diesel voice. The Boardroom is a dive bar that serves decently priced drinks, bar food, and brunch on the weekends (hello, cookie batter French toast!). There's a bunch of flat screen TVs for watching the game and a Rockbot so you can select whatever song you want to play ($1/song). Fridays are the best day of the week because I can drink to my heart's content and not have to worry about having to wake up at ass crack of dawn to go to work. The Boardroom has happy hour specials Monday- Friday 4 pm - 7 pm: $1 off all wells, beers, and shot specials, $6 fernet and tecate, and $5 nachos. On Mondays, they have 50 cent wings (I'll make it there one day!) and Tuesdays are $2 tacos and trivia night. CC's accepted. I stuck with usual Hendrick's Tonic ($10) which was nicely stiff. I noticed they carried Effen Vodka which is rare so I also had two Effen Black Cherry Tonics ($9 each). What's booze without some good drunchies right? We ordered their infamous Bac-o-Tots ($8): http://bit.ly/1dKsqJn and Carne Asada Nachos (Small - $7): http://bit.ly/1IkLF48 which were great. You can never go wrong with bacon and tots but together, they make the perfect drunchies snack especially with the side of ranch for dipping. Yep, definitely get an order of these...for yourself. We regretted not ordering a large nachos because they was pretty good as well. Fresh mound of crunchy chips topped with a duo of melty cheese, black beans, tender bits of carne asada, salsa rojo, guac, jalapenos, and crema. The chef brought out our food to us himself which I thought was a nice touch. Didn't encounter any douches when we were there like others did but there may be a resolution for that. Blast some Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus or Ariana Frappuccino Grande on the Rockbot. Problem solved.
