Noc Noc — Restaurant in San Francisco

Our first time here was an above average experience (meaning I'll actually remember the spot and name and keep it in mind for future visits). We walked over to Arlequin on hayes for dinner and wine, and felt like a detour on our way back home to potrero to check out a new (for us) spot. They have a medium selection of beers (better bottle selection, tbh) for medium prices. The decor of course was over the top, which I was afraid would give it a hipster destination vibe, but it was quite the opposite and worked quite well as a chill den to hang out in (and not too crowded, but just busy enough to have a chill vibe on an early Saturday evening). Would go again if looking for a casual, maybe slightly high, living room beer vibe. Probably not a "Destination", but has the potential to suck you in for a while if your...

Second round, we order the same thing and get yelled at by the waiter, annoyed that we didn't anticipate we were going to pay several rounds and didn't leave the tab open. Of course the bartender is still angry with our choice of drinks. We gave 40% of tip on the first round, and, of course, we didn't give any tip for the second round because of the behaviour of the bartender. He started yelling at us in front of everybody and kicked us out of the bar after trying to have a fight with us. Very...
