The HA-RA Club — Restaurant in San Francisco

I usually don’t write reviews but i’m going to get a bit off my chest. Two nights ago I took my Lovely Lady on a bar hopping date hitting up The Rye,Deco Dance,Swig then next stop HA RA club.

Entering the establishment I presented both my ID M24 and my Partner F21. The bartender returned my partners ID with no issue but held onto my ID under a light for a good minute then told me my ID was a fake. I asked what was fake about my government issued ID and the response from the server was plainly “you don’t have earrings” which completely threw me off. I even offered other forms of age verification such as (Security ID,Kaiser Insurance card, College ID) but was ultimately denied service. We asked the Bartender for his name which he refused to give up and told us “I don’t have a guy to check ID’s out front tonight.” Sir…your job requires you to check identification even if you don’t have a security out front. What really rubbed me wrong was that after denying service, the Bartender made a remark about my partner which is a no for me. So we took our business across street to their competitors (The Outsiders) and was served in less than a minute after showing our credentials.

Pretty cool bar with some neat history. There is an old hand gun mounted on the wall that the owners apparently found hidden when they renovated the place. One wall has a giant poster of an old time photo of the original owners of the bar from way back when. They also have a couple of very unique features like a water tap in the middle of the room where customers can just walk up and pour themselves some water if they like. In a similar fashion apparently you can get a group of friends together and buy a keg and they have a large table with a tap right on it that you and your friends can sit with your own personal beer tap. There is also a pool table for those that enjoy...

I'd heard that Hara was a great Tenderloin dive bar, but I'd never been there, until tonight. Casey the bartender was incredibly friendly and the service was great. The drinks were cheap too. The place has character and I was kind of digging it, but I think I was a little too focused on my drinking companion. He seemed to think there was something sketchy going on (I hadn't noticed), so we headed across the street. Overall I doubt you can beat the prices--as long as everyone is friendly,...
