Pam ☕️ OSeptember 24, 2016Huge contrast between daytime and nights. Packed Friday nights but calm enough to quietly watch a soccer game during the week. Delicious bar food.
Dear Mom is having a restaurant-or-bar identity crisis. They've added table service which is incongruent to the vibe once found here. The result is a lot less fun. Less crowded tho.
Maja PetkovicFebruary 5, 2015Great dive bar with really nice bar food! Try chicken sandwich and tacos with pickleback shooter.
BommyFebruary 11, 2015Large, open space that's perfect for big groups. Music is loud so get ready to scream talk.
Joey SMay 11, 2014Order away from the blonde Asian bartender with the sparrow chest tattoos. She overcharges, does short pours, and tosses your food before you're finished. Good pints and cocktails here otherwise.
Chris EdwardsAugust 7, 2014You can reserve the back room (fits ~75 people) for private parties for no extra charge. Just be sure to book it a few weeks in advance.
A rapidly-changing menu and classic cocktails place Dear Mom a notch above your usual dive bar. If it's all too much, there's always Big Buck Hunter on the back wall ;)
Ryan LeggettNovember 19, 2013I bet you can't enjoy all the whiskey, food, ping-pong, pinball, and photobooth fun that this place has to offer in just one night. We did, but I'm not gonna say it wasn't exhausting.
Jennifer DanielJanuary 13, 2013Reminds me of Brooklyn except FLUSH WITH GUYS. I have never seen so few ladies drinking in a bar before. Also: Cheap beer, pork snacks, and good jukebox.
Ali AndersonNovember 30, 2014Great spot in the mission for a large group looking for beers and a bite. Large open space and seating.
@marycrayDecember 16, 2011Music is waaaay to loud -- especially if some emo pansy plays music. Great bourbon selection. Easy to get to. Easy place to meet people. I love Jay -- owner bartender.
IvanaFebruary 11, 2013Had to wait half an hour for my toad in the hall but it was totes worth it.who knew that peanut butter sauce and bacon went so well together?
JTApril 30, 2016Good Amsterdam mule! And fried chicken was really fresh. The breading is panko. Waffle fries are more crispy than others
Gene KeenanNovember 10, 2012The sound system, bar & the food all share something in common: least expenditure possible. But seriously the food is the best thing here. Bring ear plugs to escape the crap sound and you will luv it
kev/nullAugust 13, 2015Great food and lots of open space for impromptu gathering of friends. Can get pretty noisy though.
Rich BrilliMay 25, 2013Holy Fried Chicken Bao!! Deliciously crafted fusion slider of sweet, fried, non-greasy perfection. Get 4.
Ivonne G.March 21, 2014Ask what the most ordered drink is as a bet.... Swear you'll win with pbr and a shot ;)
Michael GargasOctober 12, 2013Black truffle waffles are amazing - AMAZING. please do yourself a favor and get these
Rhonda MittenzweiMarch 17, 2014Awesome bar with a great selection and cool vibe but CASH ONLY which, like, what are we, in the 90s?
ErinNovember 15, 2013Nice big open space, perfect for a private function or a small party in the back room.
Benjy WeinbergerNovember 4, 2014Chorizo burger is delicious, and goes really well with the waffle fries.
Christine KirkcaldyNovember 1, 2013All I have to say is bao! The bello bao was banging and I'm not a huge fan of bello burgers, but this is an exception.
Don't skip the food. It is really, really good. Had the pork bao, which was amazing!
Try the food. It's amazing. The sriracha chicken, the potatoes, the pork belly bao. OMG
Great new bar in town with some top notch bartenders. Best old fashioned I've ever had!
Courtney Risman JonesMay 27, 2013Hella Vegan pop up with a beer delicious combo...try the beet burger
Tasting TableMay 2, 2012Pair your cocktail with a French-style hot dog, which comes on a length of hollowed-out baguette: Read more- Ali AndersonJune 23, 2014contrary to the website... Dear Mom does not serve brunch ... But great spot for night drinking.
Heather TerrellNovember 18, 2013Large space, weekend crowds but not debilitating ones. Good food. Good beer.
Sriracha chicken sandwich is the perfect complement to your drink of choice.
Good place but watch your drinks; they will steal away half drunk drinks you paid 10 hipster dollars for before your done.
Love this bar. Good food and great bartenders, beer selection, and vibe.
SillyCamillyDecember 11, 2011I'll make boys cry at foosball, but guys you gotta replace those orange balls with some white ones! We can't see them.
ᴡ ElliotSeptember 25, 2015Food was good, bartenders were kinda dicks. But we showed up with a massive group, so they might've been overwhelmed
The food is always really good. Super awesome bartenders and service.
Try the Toad In The Hall - Peanut butter, French toast, bacon, eggs and syrup.
- Try the Olive Oil Waffle - Really good, but the lettuce was a weird surprise. Probably would have liked it more without it.
Rebecca MorehiserJuly 22, 2012Attention SF herbivores - Dear Mom is hosting a Hella Vegan Eats pop-up tonight. Come & get it!

"Massive indoor warehouse-turned-brewery perfect for large get-togethers. The fact that the house brews are excellent and great value is an added bonus."
Jon B. - 8.1
