Is the pool table free?

Yes. One old-fashioned table, free play, every day we're open. No quarters and no table fee. First come, first served.

Is there a cover charge for the live jazz?

No cover, no minimum. The Vince Lateano Trio plays the first Friday of every month from 6 to 9pm, outside on Francisco Street. Dress for the weather since the band is out in the parklet.

Yes. Thin crust pizza, shepherd's pie, mac and cheese, a toasted pretzel with spicy mustard, Castelvetrano olives, and house roasted nuts. Not a full kitchen, but real food.

What non-alcoholic options do you have?

BrewDog Hazy AF, Hopwater, Fever Tree ginger beer, Red Bull, and Fre alcohol-removed white and red wine. Always stocked. If you're not drinking there's something here for you.

Do you have outdoor seating?

Yes, we have a parklet on Francisco Street. It's where the jazz plays on first Fridays.

When is the next art opening?

A new artist goes up on the wall every month in the Black + White Gallery, with the opening usually on the first Friday from 6 to 8pm as part of the North Beach First Fridays art walk. Free and open to anyone.

Open seven days. Monday through Thursday and Sunday, 4pm to 10:30pm. Friday and Saturday, 4pm to 11pm. There is no happy hour.

Where are you exactly?

475 Francisco Street, between Mason and Powell, tucked off Columbus Avenue in North Beach. A short walk from Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39.
