The Napper Tandy

Lively bar with great service & great food. Thanks for turning on the Tottenham match for us, the deep pours of Jameson & the cloverleafs on the tops of our Guinness! The Irish Benedict was tasty with crispy rashers and the potatoes were perfectly seasoned & crisp. Irish breakfast is huge and was also very good. We will be back 👏🏻

Was there multiple times during the WC it was packed and the atmosphere is great. It does get full so prepare to stand if you don’t mind. Giving it a 4 star because when I’ve ordered food there they took so long almost 1hr or more and it was during the week when it wasn’t busy. Other than that this place is recommended!

Great beer selection! Their corned beef and cabbage plate was very delicious but way too small for the price we paid. We also had to wait almost 2 hours before being served our food. Other than that, it was a great visit!

Thank you for being so welcoming to J1s. I’ve been a J1 and when you get here and know no one or nothing yet, small gestures like these make a difference.

This place is like the show Cheers, everyone knows your name. Except for mine since it was the first time I visited. Irish breakfast is great, wasn't a fan of the bloody marie, but the Guinness is delicious and properly poured. Great crowd. Parking isn't fun but you'll figure it out. I will be going back

Outdoor dining 3/21/2021. Both indoor and outdoor dining were available. All the tables were taken at 1pm and I had to sit at a single stall with a shelf of plywood used as a table. That part of 24th street is loud with a lot of traffic. There are trees next to the parklet so expect dogs to be peeing near you while you are dining. I had the Irish breakfast $19 and a pint of Guinness $8. It was two eggs over easy, Irish sausages, Irish bacon, black and white pudding, baked beans, a grilled tomato slice and soda bread. Everything was perfectly cooked. Eggs were runny. Irish sausages had good texture. Irish bacon crispy, but not too crispy. Chips were kind of peculiar for an Irish breakfast. The chef should have used either mushrooms or potato farls. Other than that, my meal was fine. It is nice they had my favorite HP sauce here. Service was excellent. My bill today was $33 with tax and tip. Good job everyone at the Napper Tandy!

It’s a perfectly serviceable neighborhood Irish pub. Not too touristy, and just right for a local spot to watch the game. A little rough around the edges but that’s part of the charm.

Excellent pub to catch sports games on weekends or play trivia nights on Wednesday. Great food and lively atmosphere!

Wow where do I begin with this place? I was looking for a random bar for a Wednesday bar trivia and yelp showed me the Napper Tandy. We went at 6 pm and luckily sat at a table in the back room. Every other table had a piece of paper that said reserved on it. I tried to make a reservation immediately before going in but their website wasn't going through. When I asked at the place, they said to call next time so I will do that. Once seated, I was able to take in the space. It is an Irish pub to its core and I loved it. The staff all happened to be Irish too which really made me feel like I was sitting in a pub in Ireland. I got a burger with fries (chips). It was straight forward without any frills on the plate. I upgraded my fries to garlic fries and was so happy with the decision, just wish I had a mint for after given they really pack that garlic in. The burger itself was cooked well and super tasty. It really started filling up around 6:40 for 7:00 trivia. It was so fun I would definitely recommend. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly, the food was tasty and reasonably priced, and the trivia was so much fun!

Non service digs in the bar all afternoon from 2 pm til I left to sit outside. The place is noncompliant with the SFDPH ordinance, isn't ADA compliant for wheel chair or customers on crutches. Apparently Marissa, the owner, may be cited and shut down if she doesn't comply with the health department code and ordinance. I stopped patronizing it after it shuttered and reopened to higher prices in 2020. A Moscow mule in a tea mug filled with ice at $19 is too expensive for the dog hairs floating in the bar and in the restaurant seating area. Don't even get me started about the only female bartenders who walk outside the bar, stand in front of the open door and smoke, then go back inside, don't wash their hands before making and serving another drink to customers. Buyer beware and wary of a dubiously clean establishment with higher prices anywhere in the Mission. Even if one makes the median SF income of $120k annually, it's still overpriced. I reckon patrons are paying for the lovely ambiance of dog hair in the air, food, drinks and on the floor.

Sometimes I'm a walking cliche. Take Irish pubs. I'll walk in, order fish & chips, a shot of Jameson, and a Guinness. If they do it right, good review will follow. Nappy Tandy is in the Mission, and my barmaid was Danielle, with a lovely accent and blond ponytail. A few other blokes surrounded the bar. The door behind me was left open, a questionable choice when the weather was upper 50s at best, but it was fine. The shot was nice, the Guinness pour professionally done in two stages to optimize a centimeter head. The fish came in fried tubes, which was odd at first, but plenty of white flesh inside, piping hot. Good quantity of chips, with malt and ketchup. All of it delivered with a charming lily, to lend verisimilitude. Another place to add to my list of where to get the best...whatever, depending on the neighborhood.

We ordered takeout after a long absence of doing so from here. It wasn't great. We ordered Fish & Chips and The Rebel Reuben. Charging $1.75 for a 2.5 oz portion of not made in house "tar tar" is ridiculous! See pic, we ordered 2. The Rueben didn't have any sliced corned beef on it. It was all little chunks like it came off the end of a roast sitting in au jus for hours. It also didn't taste like a Reuben. It had some sauerkraut, melted cheese & some kind of sauce but the distinct flavor of a Rueben was absent. See pic.

Haven't been to the neighborhood Irish pub in a while so went to grab lunch on a cloudy Saturday with a friend. The door was closed to keep in the heat but from across the street I thought it might be closed at first and worried it was another business closing in SF. Happily it was just due to the cold temperatures recently and we waited until 2pm for the dinner menu to become available as we watched the many sports games that were on. Ordered the corned beef and cabbage which came with potatoes, carrots, and brown bread. The corned beef fell apart easily in my mouth with a salty sweetness and the cream sauce worked well with all the vegetables. There were many dogs that were taking their owners for walks who came to say hi from a huge Anatolian to a wide bullmastiff to a bichon frise (had to look that one up) who were enjoying the pub. The two bartender/servers were busy but attentive and even the outside tables were filling up as we were leaving since it was starting to get warmer. Will be back for more food, drinks, and sports and to people watch seated outside when the weather gets warmer.

Stopped by for their trivia night on Wednesday. Indoor seating for trivia was full but they managed to squeeze us in. Service was incredibly friendly and fast, especially for how busy they seemed to be. Our water pitcher stayed topped off, and our food and drinks arrived quickly. Very relaxed atmosphere with fun questions

Cool, little go to bar for the game Potato skins supper dry, no potato, just skin The wings are cool if I didn't have to wait an 1hr and a half for them The burger was good, so what I was told, and the grilled cheese, No! The server had no clue and kept giving my order to someone else As far as the drinks, I had a beer and something else nit memorable No rush to return

Cool and friendly bar to chill and pass the time. Passed the vibe check. The servers were fast and on it. Nice place to people watch.

Have lived in the Mission for 15 years and this was our first visit - what took us so long??? We were looking for "normal" food and a beverage to wash it down with. Our go to before was always The Phoenix but clearly that won't ever be happening again. I will say that I was very pleasantly surprised with the food, the atmosphere and the great service. I had a super yummy drink called the blackberry bramble and my dining partner had his favorite beer. The small order of fish and chips was the perfect size! Oh yes, we will be back.

This review is for the food only...And that food is FANTASTIC!!!! I have never set foot inside The Napper Tandy. My husband tells me it's nice, but I've never considered going in...I'm just not the bar type, and I don't drink beer. But I DO get take-away from The Napper Tandy frequently...and I heartily recommend trying their food, if you haven't already!! The Shepherd's Pie is the real deal: Meaty with plenty of peas and carrots in a rich, flavorful sauce, with a big, fluffy pile of mashed potatoes on top, covered in melted cheddar cheese...So savory and delicious!! The portion is ample, and at $18.95, including a side salad, it's a good deal! The menu also features many other Irish pubfare mainstays, such as Fish 'n Chips, Bangers 'n Mash, Guinness Beef Stew, Dublin Coddle, a traditional Irish breakfast, and for us Americans, Corned Beef & Cabbage (I have never seen corned beef on the menu anywhere in either the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland, although the parsley sauce is legit!). And, since they're located on Calle 24 in the middle of the Mission, you'll also find Chicken Tinga and Corned Beef Quesadillas on their menu! Great. Just writing this has made me very, very hungry...Guess what I'm ordering for dinner tomorrow night?!

Trivia Wednesday nights at 7pm!! So fun and grading every 1-2 rounds so the breaks weren't too long. The bar was full so recommend getting there a bit early for a seat. Got house margs for HH which were not strong at all (good for me personally) and some food. Surprised by how big the portions were! I got a chicken quesadilla and it was delicious. WILL COME BACK FOR SURE

My husband and tried the Napper Tandy for brunch and football and we will definitely be back! The front room has almost every game on and the back has more seating plus they also have a small outdoor area. Most of the front seating is bar seating with two small barrel tables. The people were incredibly nice and very attentive. The brunch food was delicious and much better than most sports bars. My chicken was fresh and so was the waffle! The fruit has strawberries! If we were to offer one suggestion it would be nice to have some of the football snacks like wings or tots or potato skins available during brunch!

The bartender, Micheal, gave us excellent service. Had a wide selection of beer and food. Good social atmosphere.

Popped in on a Monday evening for the first time. I'd always wanted to give the place a shot but never had the timing right. I'm really glad I stopped in. Sarah, behind the bar, was very kind and made a great Manhattan. I noticed a lot of regulars coming in, being acknowledged by name with a friendly greeting. It's nice to be in an environment where you can tell the people sitting around the bar care for each other. I tried the happy hour wings (6 for $6, a heck of a deal!) and really enjoyed them. The music was good and they had 2 different sports on the screens. I will definitely come back when I'm hungrier to try more of the food and soak up the regulars' amusing banter!

The best Irish Breakfast in the Bay ! I love the Mission & had no idea after all these yrs there's a hidden gem Irish pub in it. The neighborhood is friendly & lively, as are the staff. Tons of TVs for watching games & great service even when it gets packed. Per the Irish breakfast, they have the most delicious black & white puddings plus... fresh soda bread! Delicious every time !

Fantastic little place! The burger was well flavored, reasonable prices, and the service was great. It felt like home. I will be back for sure.

Went for brunch today and the whole experience was perfect! Great space, music everyone loves, engaging and friendly staff, and stellar food! Highly recommend the chicken and waffles.

Non service dog on the floor again in the bar. If you like dog hair in your drinks and food, then this is the best place for it. The owner Marissa seems to think she's running an pub back in Ireland and doesn't realize that non-service dogs are a San Francisco health code violation. I reckon she'll raise her prices again to make up for fewer patrons. Outrageously overpriced, for the mission and Irish fusion food. Soda bread is a deal, however, even with dog hair, is stellar. Buyer beware and be wary.

A hidden bar/restaurant. I saw it online and wanted to come here for the drinks and food. I ordered a smoked old fashion and a barbeque burger. The burger was a good size for the price and brought fries. I definitely recommend the food. The drinks are also made well they are strong just a warning. The bartenders are friendly and make sure to serve all the customers even if the place is busy. I recommend to stop by this place if you are in the area. I do plan to return.

Ordered through toogoodtogo and I received what I believe was a ground beef Wellington with a side of hand cut fries. It was good! I enjoyed the food and the servers where friendly.

I had the Dandy Tandy ($13.95). It comes with Irish sausage, melted cheese, and sauerkraut. The sandwich was somewhat flat and sad, and the sauerkraut was overpowering. There is some nice seating pictured below.

Super fun watching World Cup games here and also food is Bomb! The service was very good as well

Great bar with very solid food. My husband loves the beef stew and I have enjoyed everything including the salads( shockingly good for a pub), hamburger, and quesadillas. The staff is amazing and they always have on good sporting events. We started going for MMA fights, but have been back fairly regularly including for the Wednesday night trivia. Overall a great atmosphere, amazing employees, and good food with more beer options than I need!

Always great food ! The chicken pot pie is out of this world. Bangers and mash awesome , Shepard s pie amazing, the Reuben is one of my favorites. All of the staff are all gems too. Each one is super friendly and always happy to see you. Love this local neighborhood Irish pub. Literally one of my favorite places to eat, drink, and watch the game.

Been a long time coming to go here. Super friendly bartender and the Corn Beef and Cabbage special was awesome! I've already been back. Their Irish Soda Bread is the Best!!!! A cool place with excellent food!

A standard Irish pub with a good selection of decent bar food. During COVID they have a pretty awesome outdoor setup with tables around the entire corner and barriers between each table. I came for lunch and there were a handful of people but not very many, so we managed to pick a pretty isolated table and felt relatively safe. They even had several outdoor TVs and were playing different sports games on different screens, so I'd say it's a pretty prime place to chill and have a beer if you miss watching sports at a bar during these times. We got an appetizer combo platter (which included onion rings, potato skins, fried mushrooms, and wings), the dandy tandy (a grilled cheese with mustard, sausage, and sauerkraut) with a side of fries, and the Guinness beef stew with a side of soda bread. The portions were pretty generous -- we definitely had plenty of leftovers which is always fine by me. The food was a bit slow to come out, and it was a bit hard to flag down our waitresses because they had to come in and out a lot, but it wasn't really a big deal and seemed mostly to do with the kitchen and table setup for COVID, which I can't blame them too much for. And when we did manage to get their attention they were always quick to return with what we needed. The actual food itself was a bit hit or miss with me. Honestly, everything deep fried (the onion rings, the mushrooms, and the french fries) was top notch and I would definitely recommend. The onion rings in particular were probably some of the best I've ever had, and I'd come back just for that. But some of the other food (potato skins, wings, soda bread) was just okay -- definitely not bad, but nothing to phone home about. The grilled cheese was probably the least impressive and something I wouldn't really get again. I will say though that I appreciated how they seemed to have a good selection of traditional Irish entrees (not that I'm Irish but it seemed traditional to me). The only one we actually tried was the stew, which was pretty satisfying, but they also have things like corned beef and cabbage, bangers and mash, chicken pot pie, and shepherd's pie. They even have condiments like HP sauce and Irish Ketchup which I don't know if I've ever really seen before. The traditional Irish breakfast definitely intrigued me and after trying their fries (which were super crisp, thick cut, and delicious) I'd consider coming back to try their fish and chips as well.

Food was good and reasonably priced. Service was great. It's a smaller place, and got a little stuffy, but overall loved it and would go back. Bonus-2 of the servers/bartenders gad the cutest Irish brogue!

I can't express enough how grateful we are to the Napper Tandy for welcoming our group. Their bar staff continues to provide nothing but generous service with ample attention. That's almost unheard of in SF! HaHa. The food is excellent and our glasses are never empty long. Keep the shots coming! We'll be back soon. Thank you!

Good greasy bar food! Great service...needs a remodel and open up The windows!! Will probably be back!

TLDR: good variety of foods, great quality for price, Wednesday pub trivia is excellent, service is best for SF pub I have found. Great food and especially good salads for a pub! Overall a good place where I can grab a salad and my husband can get a burger or beef stew. The staff is always amazing and great hosts. We really enjoy the trivia nights on Wednesdays. The host goes above and beyond making great music rounds and themes. For MMA fights there is a cover but it is very reasonable for Sf, currently $10, and it is a great atmosphere for watching fights. It is especially important to us that my newish service dog has never been an issue sitting inside this winter. Some places make a production of accommodating her but Napper Tandy is perfectly professional and now I have even recruited a trivia friend who had given up on service dog friendly pub trivia years ago to come out with us.

Ordered corned beef and cabbage, chicken pot pie, and sheperds pie (not pictured) for delivery. All three were delicious! The meals came with lots of soda bread. We ended up sharing the meals because they were so good. Corned beef was flavorful, tender, and not too salty. Put it together with the cabbage and you had a perfect bite. Pot pie had a nice pastry and sauce was creamy. The sheperds pie reminded me of my grandmother's. It was a great St. Patrick's Day dinner.

I'm rewriting my original review. I changed it up to 4* I feel bad I dinged them on the fries. I forgot supply is challenging right now. The service was very good, again, the beer was chilled. Great outdoor seating booths, so social distancing is not a problem. They have many interesting items on the menu, so I shall try something other than the Fish & Chips.

Would give 0 stars if possible. Ordered the Irishman Pizza, Bacon Cheddar Fries, and the Rebel Ruben. The Ruben was bland, the pizza was cold and stale, and the bacon cheddar fries were a laughable joke. Not sure how you screw up basic bar food, BUT GOOD JOB. Will never be eating here again. No I do not recommend this place to ANYONE.

Came here on a whim while walking around the Mission neighborhood with some friends. They have plenty of outdoor seatings since the restaurant is on the corner so technically they get both roads. We ordered the onion rings and the fries. They were okay -- nothing too special but the sauces that came with the fries were so good. I need to either learn how to make them myself or buy some. I don't think I have ever had Aioli sauce before. The drinks were so good and strong. They don't cheap out on the alcohol compare to some places. I expected something sweet and creamy for the hot chocolate drink, but that wasn't the case. The alcohol masked the entire drink, which I am not mad about. I know I am getting my money's worth. The coffee was all alcohol too. I can't speak for the actual food and meals they serve, but I can say the alcoholic drinks are worth every penny and delicious if you can handle it. The one thing I have to say is the benches are very wobbly and didn't provide enough space to sit. I felt like I was about to tip over any minute if I leaned back since there was no back support.

Loved the ambience. Had irish coffee it was perfect. Will have to go back for the full breakfast.

Great food better service. Wonderful local bar. Ruben,onion rings, fish tacos and wings are all delicious

Day after St. Patrick's Day...for Traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage, Irish Coffee, Irish Soda Bread, Corned Beef Quesadilla

Great local Irish pub in the mission that we stumbled upon on 24th st. The food and margaritas were hit the spot

This place is the bomb. There is always a super social group of people at the bar. The bartenders are fun. I love this place.

The bartenders here are some of the kindest in the city that I've experienced so far. Authentic too. The food is great, amazing even.

Have been eating here for ~8 months since moving down the street. Good service and outstanding drinks! Delicious cocktails, great beer, hot toddy's to end the night on a happy note. We love the Guinness stew, wings, brunch offerings, and most everything we've ordered. Quality can vary night to night, but the drinks and great parklet make the uncertainty worth it. Plus, one time we saw three Irish waitresses (one very pregnant) chasing off a ranting large, irate, drunk man. They're legit and they care about their patrons!

Victor made me home brewed ice tea with cinnamon and baileys... delicious. This needs to be a drink. So good!

I came here the night before st patricks day to beat the wild crowd. Im half irish and have been wanting to try it out. I ordered the Guinness beef stew, onion rings, a glass of guiness, and a magners irish hard cider. It was still crowded prior to st patricks day in an hour but the awesome waitress ran around and took care of the whole place with ease. She had a heavy irish accent but gave good recomendations and was very personable. My Guinness stew was filling and very hearty. Lots of chunks of beef and veggies with the gravy and mashed potatoes. It was all tender and cooked just right. After drinking for a while I got hungry again and decided to go non authentic having met my half irish st patricks quota and got the onion rings. Oh man these were great. Meaty slices of onion and a crispy golden batter. They took the time to tell me how much they would love me back and let me know of some good upcoming events and im definitely going to take them up on it.

This is a fun little Irish pub. We were looking for a relaxed lunch and some drinks around our Airbnb and stumbled on this place. The food was good and the service was great. One of the workers waiting on us had a great personality and was all about making sure we had everything we needed. The fish and chips were a good choice and the tater tot nachos were amazing.

Worked with the Napper Tandy on a catering order for st. Patrick's day for my office. The food was amazing and I was really impressed by how professional and communicative Marissa was.

Nappers has always been a fun place to go. But when they can pull off good food, great service and live music for a bunch of fun, loving Irishman on St. Patrick's Day, you gotta hand it to em.

This is a wonderful Irish pub. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. The food it top-knotch. In particular the Irish breakfast which is served all day.

3.5 STARS A friend lives in the area, so the three of us went to The Napper Tandy and met up his girlfriend. We got here on Friday, May 19th around 9:15pm. We managed to grab a table by the water station along the wall. Our table was roomy enough for another friend to join us later. *Bacon Cheddar Fries Basket *Chicken Wings: spicy buffalo or bbq *Crispy Potato Skins: potato skins topped with melted cheese and bacon served with sour cream *Beer Battered Onion Rings: served with ranch I didn't take a picture of the menu, but we got the items mentioned above. A combo platter made up the chicken wings, potato skins, and onions rings while the bacon cheddar fries were their own dish. I didn't try any of the food, but it looked like your standard fried bar food to soak up the alcohol. I got a Jameson on the rocks and one of my friends got some sort of flavored vodka. Maybe an absolut citron? Fun, kinda divey bar. Our server was great and I had a good time. Not sure if they still do Trivia Nights, but I wouldn't mind coming back to check that out. Or just dropping by to catch a game while throwing back some drinks and snacks.

Local sports bar. I'll go here with my dad for MMA or Boxing pay previews. They have a low cover for special matches. Since Covid they created their outside sidewalk dinning and drinking it's nice and fun even in these weird times. I love the Shepard's pie! The service is always good and the staff is friendly.

Great place to catch any sports game (soccer, football, baseball, hockey) believe me, any, great environment, friendly working stuff, they are always happy, great service overall, highly recommended
