Bar49

I’ve been to every iteration of this address over the last 17 years and Bar 49 is my favorite concept for this location. I love the chill/hangout vibes. 10/10 That said, what I’m here to review is the service. Hands down, the folks that work here are genuinely the nicest crew in the Castro. I’ve never felt so welcomed & remembered by any other staff and THIS is what keeps me coming back. Most other places in the Castro are friendly too but there is something extra special about how this staff takes care of their guests. Thank you.

Bar 49 is a great spot for drinks in the heart of Castro. Lots of natural light and great for a sunny day. They have some good food options too. We ordered a grilled fish sandwich and chicken tenders, which were both great. For drinks, we ordered a margarita slushie and the 7x7 which was a mezcal cocktail with raspberry, both were delicious.

Smallish menu, but good food. Service is excellent- friendly, caring, timely. It can get crowded at times, but worth it. Solid selection of beer and wine (good wine is rare in the Castro neighborhood outside of the wine bars).

Bar 49 — my first time in Castro, and wow… what a welcome. This place is the perfect stop for a drink and some tasty bites to go with your cocktail. Cozy vibe, friendly crowd, and let’s just say — I’ve never seen so many good-looking guys in one place. Ever. It’s also my first time in a real LGBTQ+ city, and the energy here is just incredible. Safe, vibrant, open — like you can just be. Bar 49 feels like a little slice of queer joy on a plate. Highly recommend if you want a drink, a flirt, and a moment to just enjoy life. —Ilya #CyborgRecommends #CastroVibes

I’m a long time, former business owner in the Castro. Businesses come and go all the time. I’m so glad this spot is doing well. My sister and I went in for brunch this Sunday. We each ordered an adult beverage. I had the bloody Mary, that I loved so much! My sister got some vodka… Blah… Blah drink. I think she liked it as well. And we split the hamburger with onion rings and the breakfast club sandwich with Potatoes. Both were really good. However, the burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I would go back for that alone. But the service was the best part. Food obviously amazing. But the service was spectacular. I felt welcomed and attended to. Thank you so much for that! I’ll be back. 😉

Thank the cosmos that this prime location finally has a tenant worthy of it. For a long time, this beautiful corner has been the resting place of terrible brunch place after terrible brunch place - but with Bar49 the Castro gets a nice wine / beer bar with very decent food. It's moody and chill, a great place to go when you're not necessarily looking for hustle and bustle, but rather want a nice night out. Service and staff are awesome. My only complaints? More plants would really warm up the space (look at those windows! come on!) and it would be nice if the bar was a bit moodier after dark vs playing pop music videos at all times.

We’ve been a few times since they opened and it’s been consistently great! Good food, great service and incredible environment. Fair prices. Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! The new cocktail menu is amazing too
