Jason PorterMarch 16, 2018Kind of a divey place with a great bartender. Everyone seems to know one another and there was a great vibe. Could’ve stayed all day. Only problem, it did smell like sour feet.
Jennifer EvansFebruary 16, 2015Try the three different punches and if you're in a group, get the punch bowl. Great for people watching too!- The Victorian punch bowl is my favorite! Bring a bunch of friends & get a big bowl to share!
Lovely bartenders, cozy, relaxed atmosphere that provides a refuge from frenetic Haight St. and one of the best rum selections around.
Margot SeetoSeptember 3, 2018Dem rum punch much bowls are dangerous, but a must. You can order food from Street Taco at the bar now, too!
Danielle WallisDecember 8, 2014Fun place for watching games. Be sure to get there early if you have a group and want a good seat!
WhiskyAvengerJune 14, 2018The bar is a bit brotastic. But if you like Victorian punch,this is your place.
Weird...in a sometimes good, and sometimes bad way. Locals during the week. USF / Bridge & Tunnel Thu. - Sat.
Relaxed rum-focused bar that’s popular with people who live in the Haight.
Victorian dive bar with [a] punch. Be sure to bring your ID b/c they will card you immediately.
FaithMay 30, 2013Fab punch bowls to share and the foursquare/scoutmob deal is 50% off up to $20 off, woo!
StephanyAugust 10, 2014Do *not* get the Victorian punch. Cranberry and coconut do not go together well.
Victorian punch is great! Get the seats up stairs if you can!
JoAnn PeachJanuary 3, 2010Go with a group of friends. Take turns buying a bowl of Victorian Punch to share. Take the drunkest of the group home in a shopping cart. Read more

Uncle FishbitsJanuary 9, 2010You can order askew grill to the bar! And the internet jukebox is a treat. Also have a old gametop table with lots of old games
amazing place for people-watching in the windows! their victorian punch is bomb!
Make sure you bring your ID! Always tip your bartender and if you see me just call me Boogie, because you can always blame it on the Boogie! î
Mary AustinAugust 17, 2011Only place where drinking unbearably sweet alcohol is allowed. Swallow your pride!
Alex ChengJanuary 6, 2013There's no cell phone reception in the back. I think they do this on purpose.
The bowls of punch rock!! Pound the last of each one directly from the bowl!

"They have a pretty decent selection of Belgium style beers. Try getting a bottle of Lindemans Framboise Lambic. It's a Belgium style sour beer and it's only $15. Light and refreshing. A good value."
