It is a newcomer in SF when it comes to Irish Pubs. Opened in late 2024 by Dublin native Neil Holbrook (with co-owner Louie Caponi), this Irish pub and music venue took over the former Milk Bar space (one of my favorite spots back in the day)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inviting interior features a crackling fireplace ideal for nursing a perfectly poured Guinness (widely praised as one of the best in the city), while big screens keep sports fans happy. The bar has live bands and traditional Irish sessions most nights, comedy on Mondays, trivia on Wednesdays, and Grateful Dead-themed shows. Happy hour runs Monday\u2013Friday from 1PM to 6PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though this is a fairly new bar, it really has the feel of an Irish Pub that has been around for decades. It also has a pretty choice location so it is the perfect spot to have a beer after a day in the park or to grab a drink after doing some shopping along Haight Street. There are also a lot of cool spots around it like Kezar Pub, Murios Trophy Room and Zam Zam, so it is a great spot for an impromptu pub crawl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>O&#8217;Reilly\u2019s Pub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Neighborhood:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/guides\/haight-ashbury\/\" type=\"guides\" id=\"4593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Haight Ashbury<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Address:<\/strong> 1840 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Website:<\/strong> https:\/\/oreillyssf.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Durty Nelly's Irish Pub\" class=\"wp-image-7399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco-635x423.jpeg 635w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco-1200x800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco-771x514.jpeg 771w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco-391x260.jpeg 391w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/durty-nellys-san-francisco.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Durty Nelly&#8217;s SF\n\nPhoto Credit: Facebook \/ Durty Nelly&#8217;s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-durty-nelly-s\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Durty_Nellys\"><\/span>Durty Nelly&#8217;s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Durty Nelly&#8217;s is a popular Irish pub located in San Francisco&#8217;s Inner Sunset neighborhood.

The pub has a stage in the back where local and touring musicians perform traditional Irish music and other genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pub has been in business for over 40 years. It was founded by Irish immigrants who wanted to create a space for the Irish community to gather and celebrate their heritage. Today, The Plough and Stars is still a popular spot for Irish-Americans to come together and celebrate St. Patrick&#8217;s Day and other holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/the-chieftain-pub-sf.jpeg\" alt=\"The Chieftain Pub Location\" class=\"wp-image-7419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/the-chieftain-pub-sf.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/the-chieftain-pub-sf-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/crawlsf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/the-chieftain-pub-sf-391x260.jpeg 391w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>The Plough and Stars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Neighborhood:<\/strong> Inner Richmond<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Address:<\/strong> 116 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94118<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Website:<\/strong> https:\/\/theploughandstars.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-blarney-stone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Blarney_Stone\"><\/span>The Blarney Stone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the Inner Richmond, an area once dubbed San Francisco\u2019s \u201cIrish mile\u201d for its concentration of Irish spots, The Blarney Stone is an authentic pub that feels like a well-kept secret. Run by Irish natives, it\u2019s renowned for pouring a stellar Guinness and serving up hearty fare from its attached John Campbell\u2019s Irish Bakery, including fresh soda bread and scones that rival those in Dublin. The interior is no-frills\u2014think wooden booths, dim lighting, and a few Celtic touches, but the charm lies in its simplicity and the friendly banter from bartenders who know their stouts. It\u2019s a haven for locals and Irish expats, with a dartboard in the back and occasional live music adding to the craic. Perfect for those seeking a genuine, unpretentious pint without the downtown crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Blarney Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neighborhood: <\/strong>Inner Richmond<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> 5625 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-o-keeffe-s-bar\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OKeeffes_Bar\"><\/span>O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s Bar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hidden in the Inner Richmond, O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s is a divey, cash-only Irish pub that\u2019s as authentic as it gets without crossing into tourist territory. It\u2019s a small, unassuming spot with a jukebox pumping classic tunes, a pool table that sees constant action, and a clientele of neighborhood stalwarts who treat it like a second home. The bartenders, often sporting Irish accents, pour a mean Guinness and keep the Jameson flowing, while the lack of a kitchen is offset by the BYOF (bring your own food) policy\u2014pair it with a pint and you\u2019re set. It\u2019s not flashy, but that\u2019s the point: O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s offers a raw, no-nonsense Irish pub experience that feels like a time capsule, perfect for those who value atmosphere over amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neighborhood:<\/strong> Inner Richmond<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> 598 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ireland-s-32\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Irelands_32\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/irelands32.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ireland\u2019s 32<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Named for the 32 counties of a united Ireland, this Inner Richmond pub flies under the radar compared to its flashier neighbors but delivers a staunchly authentic experience. The decor is a mix of Irish flags, vintage photos, and Gaelic signage, creating a lived-in feel that\u2019s more about heritage than hype. It\u2019s a hub for live music and Celtic bands and folk acts take the stage most nights (except Mondays). There\u2019s no full kitchen, but bar snacks like peanuts and the occasional pop-up food event keep you fueled. It\u2019s a tight space that gets lively on weekends, drawing a mix of Irish expats and locals who appreciate its unpolished charm. A true sleeper hit for music lovers and stout aficionados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ireland\u2019s 32<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neighborhood:<\/strong> Inner Richmond<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address: <\/strong>3920 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> https:\/\/irelands32.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-monaghan-s-bar\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monaghans_Bar\"><\/span>Monaghan\u2019s Bar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nestled in the Marina District, Monaghan\u2019s is a family-owned Irish pub with roots stretching back to 1898, though it\u2019s moved locations over the years (this spot since 2004). It\u2019s a lesser-known treasure that balances Irish tradition with a laid-back SF twist. The phrase \u201cMeet me at Monaghan\u2019s\u201d has been a local rallying cry for over a century, and it still holds as a spot for a quiet pint or a rowdy game night. The bar boasts a rotating beer selection and a virtual golf simulator for a quirky twist. With no kitchen, it\u2019s BYOF-friendly, and free popcorn keeps the munchies at bay. Dog-friendly and adorned with Chicago sports memorabilia (a nod to its owners), it\u2019s a cozy, offbeat pick for a casual evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monaghan\u2019s Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neighborhood: <\/strong>The Marina<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> 3243 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94123<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-danny-coyle-s\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Danny_Coyles\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dannycoyles.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Danny Coyle\u2019s<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Description: Tucked into the Lower Haight, Danny Coyle\u2019s is a sports-centric Irish pub that\u2019s a bit of a hidden gem despite its loyal following. It\u2019s a go-to for European soccer fans, doors open as early as 7 AM for big matches, and the multiple screens ensure you won\u2019t miss a play. The bar\u2019s Irish cred shines through with perfectly poured pints of Harp and Guinness, complemented by a solid whiskey selection. The vibe is welcoming but unpretentious, with a mix of wooden tables, bar stools, and a small patio for warm nights. Trivia and comedy nights (Monday\u2013Wednesday) add a fun twist, and while there\u2019s no kitchen, nearby takeout options pair well with a pint. It\u2019s a neighborhood haunt that flies under the tourist radar, ideal for sports buffs or anyone craving a low-key Irish escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Danny Coyle\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neighborhood:<\/strong> Lower Haight<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> 668 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.dannycoyles.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-just-across-the-bridge\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Just_across_the_Bridge\"><\/span>Just across the Bridge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the next two bars aren\u2019t technically in San Francisco, it seemed a shame to leave them off the list.

The pub is located on Broadway, close to Jack London Square. You can expect a huge selection of cocktails, wine and beers, but if you are a whiskey drinker then you will be in heaven. They actually have over 175 varieties of Irish whiskey to choose from and special tastings on Tuesday nights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you head to Sl\u00e1inte, you definitely need to check out the food. Google Reviews like \u201cThis is the best Irish food I\u2019ve ever had, and a class above any pub food\u201d are pretty much the status quo, so you don\u2019t want to miss out on their tasty treats.
