If you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan living in or visiting San Francisco, The North Star Café in North Beach is your place. This isn’t just a bar—it’s a home base. A sanctuary. A full-throttle, green-bleeding, fight-song-belting hub of Philly pride on the West Coast.
Every Eagles game day, the back of the bar transforms into Birdgang SF territory—aka the most authentic Philadelphia Eagles crew in the city. These aren’t bandwagon fans. These are the real deal. Folks from Philly, Jersey, and South Central PA who brought the 700 level energy straight to North Beach. Jerseys everywhere. High fives after every big play. And yeah, someone is absolutely screaming “Dallas Sucks” before kickoff.
What makes it even better? The people. Birdgang SF is welcoming, passionate, and fun—they’ll make sure any true Birds fan feels like family. And if you’re new? Don’t worry. Someone (probably Jimbo) will say hi, hand you a sticker, and scream the “E-A-G-L-E-S” chant with you like you’ve known each other for years.

Bottom line: Whether you’re homesick for Philly or just want to watch the game with people who get it, The North Star is the only place in SF that truly feels like a slice of the...

Will never come back- am literally appalled at how I was treated that once I bought a drink it would be taken from me, handed down the bar to a stranger and then yelled at once I asked why my drink was taken from me and given To another person- not a strange question ~would never be questioned to a white man double my height. Felt like the bartender was trying to play me by taking my drink and giving to a man then returning to me. This place is sketch. If you’re a young woman, know they’re trying to play you , think twice...
Read moreIf you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan living in or visiting San Francisco, you need to check out the NorthStar Café in North Beach. This place is the official home of Birdgang SF, the most welcoming and passionate Eagles fan group in the city.
The bar is shared with the SF Bills Backers (they take the front), but Eagles fans take over the back room, complete with isolated sound, so you get the full Birds experience. The space has a great energy, tons of camaraderie, and legit Philly vibes every game day.
Ask for Jimbo — he’s the heart of the crew. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, he’ll make you feel like part of the family.
