Editorial Review for Elbo Room – by Daniel Liszt
In Short
Hipsters and 20-something slackers from around town converge at this hangout. The lower level, decorated in mostly black and deep red, walks a fine line between sleek and down-to-earth. A long, narrow bar sits across from a smattering of elevated tables and features a handful of tap brews, in addition to an extensive liquor selection. In the back, the railroad space opens to an ever-popular pool table and another small room, monopolized by a second pool table.

This is a good bar to go to in the Mission for happy hour, especially on Thursday when the regular bartender is friendly and makes great drinks. They have a photo booth and a pool table if you're into that. I would avoid it like the plague on a weekend night unless you're really into men outnumbering women 5-1, having drinks poured on you by drunk rude customers, and watching rejects from girls-gone-wild videos strut their stuff. Definitely good for happy hour though.
Pros: Happy Hour Thursday, good drinks
Cons: avoid the weekend crowd at all costs

this used to be the best music scene in sf...but that was a long time ago. dont go to elbo room if you want a drink. it takes 20 minutes to get a drink. the worst part is the bartenders stink. they do recognize who pulls up to the bar and when. they help customers out of oder....idiots really! It's a cool spot, it's too bad the bartending is bad and so is the person who picks the live acts now.
