Dogpatch Saloon — Restaurant in San Francisco

Wow, I can't believe it took me this long to finally come here, considering I live some five blocks away. Under renovation when I first moved in to the neighborhood, these folks finally re-opened earlier this year, with a new look that's still very befitting the saloon namesake - there's even a piano towards the back!

But, contrary to what I expected, they serve up a pretty solid menu of fancy cocktails, with... well, a lot of liquors I hadn't even heard of before. I ended up trying their Grey Whale, which was okay, and their Whiskey Snap, which was fantastic.

So, hey. Fancy $10 cocktails (the price is right), dog-friendly, and within walking distance of my home, so I can stumble back in a drunken haze? AWESOME.

Venue - I've never seen this place super packed, so, given that, the venue is spacious enough that it shouldn't be too hard to get around. Most of their seating is either counter seating, or couch seating, so those of us in wheelchairs can just slide in to the sides that don't have any seating at all. The bar itself, of course, is the usual counter height, so you'll face the usual difficulties there.

Bathroom - Didn't...

One of the oldest bars in San Francisco, Dogpatch Saloon provides down-to-Earth atmosphere in a historic setting.

Whether you prefer an outing alone or with friends, the Saloon is welcoming to all. When you approach the bar, your drink will be made as soon as you are greeted, courteousy of the attentive staff. Dog-friendly, a bowl of water is always available at the front door. Featuring flatscreen TVs, sporting events are celebrated year round as well (they were even open the morning of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final)!

Though the drinks menu is extensive, food is not served at Dogpatch Saloon. That being said, you can bring in delicious meals from neighboring restaurants such as Just for You, Hard Knox...

FINALLY made it to Dogpatch Saloon. Took long enough! Was a chill spot, friendly bartenders, a simple paper menu of simple yet distinct cocktails for those who want to order off a menu (and as a nice "yes we do make cocktails" gesture). And a small but not too shabby draft and bottle/can selection. Nice and casual inside but not overly crowded - we even got to sit down by the time we had a few sips of our drinks. Not too hipster or fancy or "popular beer spot crowded" or even too "old sad vibe". Kinda chill like a casual "counter order dinner" vibe without the food, if that makes sense, where anything goes but it isn't cool enough for the sf...
