"Places like The Ramp should always exist and always be in your rotation no matter what kind of person you are. It’s a restaurant and bar by the water in Dogpatch that feels a lot more like you’re drinking in an old Miami port than than a few miles away from landmarks named after SAAS companies or Facebook. This place is ideal for day drinking with a bunch of friends - especially friends who dance because Salsa Saturdays are more fun than any brunch gimmick in the Marina could ever concoct. Old, young, amateur dancer, or semi-pro, it doesn’t matter - the good dancers will teach the bad, even if you’re strangers, because this place is more about having fun than looking cool. And if you’re actually a bad dancer and not just someone who claims to be, they serve BBQ on the weekends. Go for a sausage and pepper sandwich or some pulled pork while you google where to get dance lessons." - Will Kamensky
"A San Francisco classic, the Ramp is somewhere between a dive bar and a seafood shack, housed in a former bait shop. It’s got salty character, classic seafood, and bloody marys at brunch. Sometimes it’s sleepy and sometimes it’s a scene, depending on who’s playing and what the weather’s like." - Eater Staff
"If we had to choose one place in SF for our phones to die, it would probably be The Ramp in Dogpatch. This place is located right next to boat dry-storage, so it feels much more like you’re here as a location scout for Miami Vice than trying to enjoy an afternoon. And on weekends, they have live music, salsa dancing, and food from the grill they fire up outside. It feels way more like you’re on vacation in an old fishing town than at a bar in San Francisco, which makes it a great place to go off the grid for an afternoon - but make sure your phone has enough juice to get you home." - will kamensky
"Walking Time To The Chase Center: 5 minutes The Ramp has one of the best patios in the whole city. It’s huge and overlooks the Bay, and is a great spot to meet up with a group and drink before heading to the Chase Center. They also have live music Fridays and Saturdays, weekend brunch, and a weekday menu of things like house-smoked ribs, al pastor tacos, and seafood risotto." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The Ramp is a bar and restaurant that also feels like a fun social gathering place. This Dogpatch spot overlooks the bay, and the patio is where to be to listen to live bands and DJs, or get down on salsa Saturdays. They also do weekend brunch, and have a pretty eclectic weekday menu of things like garlic noodles, shrimp pad thai, and BBQ ribs." - patrick wong, julia chen 1, lani conway
