During our visit to Irish Time in SF, we decided to follow our server's recommendation and ordered their Guinness in a glass. And let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! The server's advice was spot-on.
We originally planned to order a pitcher of Guinness, but the server informed us that Guinness poured in a glass would provide a better taste experience. Trusting their expertise, we took their suggestion, and we're so glad we did. The Guinness in the glass was exceptionally smooth and flavorful. It surpassed our expectations, leaving us thoroughly impressed. In those establishments, the Guinness often had a bitter aftertaste. However, at Irish Time, the Guinness in the glass was a true delight, and it's no wonder they've perfected the pouring technique.
Aside from the remarkable Guinness, Irish Time also offers a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. The staff was attentive and helpful throughout our visit, contributing to a positive overall experience.
Came in with our pup and we were welcomed as if we were neighbors. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. The service was friendly and quick without feeling as if we were rushed. The food was delicious, we ordered the fish and chips as well as the buffalo chicken sandwich:FIRE came w/ curry fries and needless to say I was very happy. Feels like just our local watering hole in the middle of the big city. We'll definitely be back! Did I mention this place is dog friendly 🙂
We did Alcatraz, hit City Lights Books, and then we needed a bathroom and a drink, in that order. We had planned to have dinner in Chinatown, but Irish Times stood out in a quick Google search and was within a 9 minute walk. We thought it would be a bathroom break and one adult beverage, but it turned into dinner. Food was very good, and the food and drinks were the most reasonably priced we had come across during our visit, but what stood out was the much overworked gentleman behind the bar who doubled as our server. The man was a gentle giant and very accommodating. He went above and beyond. Made me a fantastic Old Fashioned. Great find!
Just stopped by for a couple of beers. Nice place. Great atmosphere and service.
I’m giving this pub 5 stars even though I can’t comment on the food. I came to try the Guinness. The fact that it was a 2 part pour was impressive as have been in a few other bars in SF that didn’t do this. I took a little video of the pour. It you’re after a good Guinness in SF this should be your first port of call.
A nice bar with tons of chairs and space. The music was good. Service fast. It was only one person (host, waiter, bartender, cashier, etc) and he was amazing and fast, runs around the tables, and keep every table served happy. There are several TVs.
Irish pub in the heart of the financial district. Pretty good beer selection. Food wasn't horrible. Good place to watch the game. Big area can handle a crowd. Staff are on their game. If that's your vibe you'll enjoy it.
Visited Irish Times early in the morning to watch the World Cup, and loved it!
Met Jack and his team, and it was AWESOME!!!! Highly recommended if you are in the Financial District.
Found Irish Times by accident on first night in San Fran. Greatly enjoyed our chat with the bartenders - felt like being at home. Came back next day to watch Ireland and Scotland rugby match and it was like one big family. Had full Irish breakfast (well we shared one it was so big) would highly recommend this pub where u will be given the best Irish welcome
Great spot for a Guinness and. Notre Dame game! Traditional Irish Pub at its best.
We were at The Irish Times Sat night to watch the fights and Sunday for brunch. The service was amazing - we came back Sunday specifically to see Lorraine - her quick wit coupled with her impeccable service made Irish Times our favorite spot in San Francisco
We enjoyed our meal and were glad to find a friendly place after a long day of sightseeing. The bartender was very nice and welcoming, especially to my 9 year old. Busy but not crowded, I would definitely stop here for a drink again if I was in town!
My wife and I had our wedding after party here and it was a hit! The owner, Jack, was extremely kind, communicative and accommodating. Our wedding reception was across the street at the Julia Morgan Ballroom so we all just walked over afterwards with over 100 people and the Irish Times was ready for us with a table full of late night food (chicken tenders, fries, quesadillas) for our guests. The bartenders and staff were also extremely kind, welcoming and celebratory! Thank you to the Irish Times for helping end the best night of our lives on such a high note!
Love this bar! All my favorite people work here and the atmosphere is amazing.
Lorraine (short haired red head, can’t miss her) is a sweetheart I love her Madonna playlist. P.s she makes the best White Russians <3
I have frequent here any time I visit San Francisco, the staff are incredible friendly, an overly great atmosphere and pub grub and a killer pint of Guinness. Shout out to the red head Lorraine & Jack for great service when we visit.
Very friendly place and can be very loud at times. We had the company of out waitress’s pet dog too at our table. Good collection of beer spirits and snacks.
Service and food were great! Stumbled upon this place and met the bartender John who was fantastic! Came back the next day just to visit with him again. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.
