The Kezar Pub

Written By Gideon Rosenthal

There are sports bars…

…and then there are sports bars that become institutions.

If there’s a soccer match worth watching, chances are somebody is already inside The Kezar Pub yelling at the television. World Cup. Champions League. Premier League. Doesn’t matter. This place shows up.

Somehow they also have Formula 1 on at an hour when no reasonable human should be awake. Respect.

The wings have quietly become one of the great debates in San Francisco because everybody has an opinion. Mine is simple.

They’re the best in the city. Don’t @ me.

Sports bars usually ask you to sacrifice the food.

Kezar never got that memo.

Pitchers taste good here. Bring your people. I wouldn’t bring a first date here, but maybe your date is a huge Liverpool or Eagles fan. IDK why there are so many Eagles bars in SF, but I digress….still a good bar.

If you’re at Golden Gate park and wanted to get funky in Haight-Ashbury, Kezar will be your first stop.

Certified Good Bar.

GOOD BARS PRO TIP

This is a Liverpool FC bar. Show up earlier than you think you need to for a big match. Everyone else had the same idea.
