Mondays = Free pool, $ 4 Jameson shots and it’s right next to a sushi restaurant so you can bring that in and have an awesome Monday.

I’ve been going here back when it was called eagle, it was great, recently went back and was having a wonderful time with the bartender, that’s when 2 new girls came in and she left. The new bartender(some little rude prissy thief) stole $ 60 I had left on the counter and then had the audacity to say my buddy stole it. Will never go back to an establishment that hires petty thieves.

This is an update to my previous review. And the main reason for the change is bartenders inability to pour decent drinks. When they opened they had a mixologist on staff — Ashley. With her departure the only thing that one can safely order is either a shot or a beer, and even with beer it was a bit of risk because at some point half their beer always arrived flat. Other negatives are patrons smoking outside in a way that results in smoke flowing into the bar, and volume level when its patently obvious that none of the patrons give a f*&^k about rihanna or her f*&^king yellow diamonds in the sky. Other than that i have no strong feelings about this establishment. And most likely will be back.

Super cheap beer, two pool tables, plenty of TV around the room, and friendly staff. But finding parking around here is terrible and the bar’s bathroom stinks like no other. Also, why do all the men walk into the women’s restroom as if it’s okay???

Hands down, my new favorite bar! I’m on a diet this week, so I requested vodka soda, with a «bunch» of limes. Most bartenders roll their eyes and give me a single wedge of lime. The bartenders here actually gave me 4 lime wedges, each time! Not only that, they have the Simpsons arcade(awesome throwback!), pool tables, darts, and clean bathrooms. I drank one too many vodka sodas and lost my phone that night. Well what do you know, they found it for me! In conclusion, nice bartenders, old-school arcade, pool tables, darts, clean bathrooms, and honest people. Can’t ask for a better bar!

This place used to be Eagle Lounge which was around since the time Bashful Bull was still next door. Out with the old and in with the new I guess. OneUp Bar and Home are owned by the same people. Its almost as though the owner lives on this block in his two establishments haha Good variety of beers and hard liquors. Bartender was super chill and chatty. Great place to shoot pool, throw a few darts and the catch up with a few friends.

Great vibes here at OneUp Bar! I came here on a Wednesday evening with a couple of friends. There’s only street parking available! There was about 10 people total. The bartender(I have no idea what her name is, but this asian chick) is super friendly and chill! We came here on a random night because it was my friend’s birthday, so the bartender was super awesome and understanding about making the drinks strong! ;) But it was a bummer that they ran out of a lot of ingredients for drinks… They didn’t have redbull to make an Orange Tic Tac… No Guinness for ICBs… They’re not allowed to light any drinks on fire(Flaming Dr. Pepper) which is understandable of it being a safety hazard. But I don’t know, I thought coming on a random night that this place would be stocked but maybe they just better prepare their inventory on the weekends.

I think it’s a great neighborhood sports bar, a bit more elevated than your typical ‘dive bar’. Stopped by to catch the last quarter of a Warriors playoff game and it was surprising empty. They have this great deal for a bucket of ten beers for $ 10 on Tuesdays. The bartender was friendly enough, and the interior of the place is great. Couple of pool tables and a dart board would make this a chill hang out spot. But true kudos for the immaculate women’s bathroom. Holy hell, it was huge, granted if you had divided it into two stalls it would be perfect, but I can live with a pristine private bathroom. Will probably be back if ever in the area and need a catch a game and beer.

OneUp redefines the idea of a «dive bar.» The interior remodel is a cool concept – corrugated sheet metal, with a new counter placed over the old one. The multiple flat screens and speaker system made Superbowl Sunday a blast. Two pool tables, a dart board, a Simpsons arcade, jukebox, and a table Pacman unit round up the distractions. Service is attentive, with a rotation of friendly faces behind the bar. The drink specials are decent, and every now and then, I’ve seen extras like snacks and a DJ. The crowd is an electic mix, especially on weekends, and people are generally friendly and chatty.(You don’t get the stinkeye you-don’t-belong-here look as with some other places.) The one improvement I’d like to see is better bartender familiarity with cocktails – when asking for the classics(old fashioneds, manhattans, etc.), you sometimes get confused stares like you just asked if they want to know what kind of underwear you’re wearing. The answer, of course(to paraphase a famous line) is, «The kind of underwear I’m wearing is wet, which is why I’d like to get out of them, and into a dry martini.» Nyuck nyuck nyuck.

Really friendly, unconceited bartenders and the very casual, clean atmosphere are really good reasons to visit this neighborhood bar. The happy hour specials are also really great. They change every day and they are always strong deals. I want to love this bar(mainly because I live down the street from it), and maybe in the future I will, but currently there is only one thing that I have a complaint about and it has to do with the alcohol(it is a bar… right?). The spirits selection is pretty dive bar like — maybe that’s what they are going for? I also ordered a «manhattan» and the bartender appeared to have no idea what I was talking about… later confirmed by the fact that I could see her looking it up on the computer. It was not tasty at all. If we could just have a selection of a couple good spirits(a small selection of nice bourbons, gins, vodkas), it would make such a difference. This doesn’t need to be the downtown bar that has every Japanese whiskey ever made but who said that neighborhood bars can’t own nice things too? If OneUp could do that, and teach some of the bartenders some run of the mill drinks, this would be one of the best bars in the area. Cheers!

I don’t normally review bars but we randomly came across this one while in the neighborhood and I’m pleasantly surprised! A group of us stopped in, was immediately greeted by the bartender. We didn’t waste any time and got right to ordering. No, it’s not the fanciest of bars but what I like about this place is the character and charm. Definitely your neighborhood bar. The ladies’ room was super clean(thank goodness) and from scanning the place, there’s a lot of good bar regulars here. There’s a pool table, a dart board and an arcade game. I’ve never played darts before but boss lady kindly showed us the ropes. Overall, we all really enjoyed our time and would definitely stop by when we’re in the area.

Oneup Bar has great happy hour drinks and employees that won’t let you get thirsty! The atmosphere is great, there are a couple of pool tables, an arcade machine and TVs if you want some additional entertainment with your drinks. The bar is well kept and in a nice area. A must visit for all bar fans!

OneUp… definitely One Ups the average bar. Even in the fierce alcoholic competition of SF, OneUp has a genuine divey feel: more intimate than the swarms of people at well-known bars, less costly than the fancy cosmopolitan places, and away from the brouhaha of Downtown(seriously… I feel like I can never hear myself think at Novela even though it’s nowhere near a rowdy sports bar). They don’t even have a menu, so you must use your cocktail knowledge – how badass divey is that. Dive bar + pool tables + ABG bartender: I don’t think I have to write anything more in order to convince guys to check this place out. But ladies, it’s worth your time as well! The bartender is very friendly, and the crowd is generally normal people, so there isn’t anything too sketchy. Also, for once, bathrooms are decent. We had the whiskey shots($ 4 Wednesday special) and Tokyo tea. Deliciously alcoholic and most definitely(almost too) cost-effective.

OneUp Bar is a super chill neighborhood bar in the Sunset. We love the daily happy hour specials, especially the $ 4 Jameson’s and $ 2 Buds on Mondays! Random events with free food such as pull pork sandwiches, salami, crackers, and cheese are a nice touch. It is a good place to hang out with friends, you get great pours, and it’s just a happy place to be at. The venue is large for the area, so you always have space to breathe and enjoy your drink. It does get busy sometimes, especially on the weekends, but the bartenders do a great job of making sure everyone gets their drinks and are having a good time. Definitely, one of my top spots in the Sunset District.

This is a great bar that’s never too crowded. There’s 2 pool tables and juke box. Beers are only $ 5. $ 4 for happy hour I think 5pm-10pm . Owner is very nice. I like this place a lot more than eagle drifting lounge(the previous bar owner), those people were crack heads and now it’s seems to be a new hot spot with respectable workers. Plus I live down the street :)
