An outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was flavorful, the cocktails were crafted perfectly, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The service truly stood out and made the evening even more enjoyable.

The burger was really good. Got the HWC burger with waffle fries, the burger was really flavorful and juicy. Taste wise I had zero complaints.
Overall the meal was sort ok for the price in SF I guess. The burger itself was almost the size of a whopper jr but with more meat. The quality of the burger is great but the size is a bit disappointing. Waffle fries were standard, nothing super amazing nor bad.
If I could just buy 2 burgers for the price of the burger & fries I’d be more than happy. That said, even with the but of criticism I’d go back again no hesitation.

Wow. What a Great addition to the neighborhood. A lively pub with great American Classic menu items. Movies on the wall for kids. Live music. Back patio. Fantastic friendly and competent service. Great local beers. Best burger I’ve had in a long time (disclaimer: I live in Mexico now).

Lovely place, great energy. Food was tasty, I got the hotdog with regular fries. Gave it 3 stars on food because it had too many poppy seeds, and fries were more done than I prefer, and I would’ve like the pepper chopped instead of whole so it was easier to eat. Otherwise it was very good and I would recommend giving the place a try. I may pop in again sometime to try something else. I don’t generally critique food but they were very nice people and I wanted to be honest about my experience.

We are from Wisconsin so I was STOKED to try this place. We had the French Onion Mac and Cheese (7/10 – could use more complex cheese sauce to balance the onion) and Crab Rangoon Deviled Eggs (10/10 – could eat a whole plate). The Mezcal Paloma was fantastic.
The Wisconsin Old Fashioned is not muddled nor does it have sweet soda in it. It is more of a KY Old Fashioned with cordials and brandy instead of bourbon. As a 20-year veteran dive bar and craft cocktail bartender, I was a little disappointed in that – but only because I was expecting it to be an actual WI old fashioned like back home. It is delicious, just a little misleading in the name. Had to adjust my brain to expect more of an IL style old fashioned (which checks out because the employees we spoke with are IL/IN/MI based). Delightful flavor profile regardless!
Service was a little slow/focused on the regulars – which we get – we ultimately left before ordering more drinks because we waited too long with empty glasses.
Must see, must stop – excited to have this in the neighborhood.

Halfway to Homeownership, All the Way to Happy Hour
After a long day of house hunting in San Francisco—aka the Hunger Games with realtors—I needed a break. I Googled “restaurants near me” and like a gift from the Zillow gods, The Halfway Club popped up. One review promised amazing food and drinks. Skeptical but starving, I decided to give it a shot.
First impressions? The place isn’t big, but it’s got personality. The bar seats maybe 8, or 10 if everyone skips leg day. The front has some classic tables and chairs, and out back there’s a larger space with a big screen showing the game. Beyond that? A sunny outdoor patio perfect for day drinking or pretending you’re not 12 tabs deep in Redfin.
The vibe is a mash-up of dive bar nostalgia and stylish clutter. There are old concert posters, a jukebox that seems more like a prop (no records, no labels), and liquor bottles that range from “standard pour” to “what is that?” Bonus points for the mini-library of cocktail history next to the register. I love a place where your hangover can learn something.
Now, let’s talk food and drink. I ordered the Wisconsin Old Fashioned—made with brandy and a cherry/orange cordial—and it was smooth, sweet, and strong enough to lower your rent expectations. For food, I tried the BLT Dog, which is exactly what it sounds like and somehow even better. Crispy bacon, amazing tomatos (get it and you’ll understand! ), a killer sauce, and a solid snap on the dog—served with waffle fries that were perfect, and definitely not from a freezer bag.
The menu has fun curveballs too. Next time, I’ve got my eye on the Crab Rangoon Deviled Eggs (because why choose between appetizers when you can combine them?) and the Alaska Cocktail, which sounds like something James Bond would drink on PTO.
Service was friendly, fast, and chill—no fake smiles, just real hospitality. It’s the kind of place where they learn your name, not because you’re famous, but because you came back twice in a week.
Even if I don’t buy a house nearby, I’ll definitely be returning to The Halfway Club. Sometimes, the best finds aren’t on Zillow—they’re behind a bar with a jukebox that doesn’t work.

I am so glad Broken Records has been resurrected into this gem of a place! I was shocked to hear that there was a bar in the Excelsior that was recognized by James Beard. I went with friends and we easily found a table in the back room. I was impressed by how open and clean everything felt. The bar and back room had lots of seating and felt airy and filled with light. There’s even a back patio for even more seating if the weather is nice. The back room also has a projector to watch sports.
The food and drinks were delicious. My husband got a breakfast dog, my friend got a meatloaf sandwich, and me and another friend got the chicken salad. Everything was flavorful and packed a punch (the salad had a lot of szechuan peppercorn which was impressive). My husband also got a Wisconsin Old Fashioned that he loved. Service was quick and by one of the owners.
We will definitely be back and will be bringing more friends!

I miss The Broken Record but I’m super excited to have a new restaurant in their space. Cocktails were super tasty and reasonably priced. I love that they have a relatively big set of non-alcoholic options.
Food was also delicious but I missed having some cheaper menu options to snack on while having a drink. Like, a big basket of fries for $7 or $8, or a cheaper hot dog. The pickles were really outstanding but felt like a small portion for $7.
The salad we got was fantastic and the quality matched the price point. I get that there’s a quality / price trade-off and having 1-2 menu options at a more accessible price would make it easy to come back either for a drink and snack, or for a full meal.

I am always surprised that it isn’t more crowded. I’ve seen some amazing bands and enjoyed scrumptious food, great drinks, and lovely service every time I’ve been here. Love the Halfway Club!

Fantastic spot! The food was amazing! The burger was one of the best I had in a while, and to top it all, it’s kids friendly. I’m so glad a spot like this one opened in Excelsior. Can’t wait to be back and try more dishes.
Update Sun 7/28: I went back with another set of friends after raving to them about how the great the food is and was really disappointed at how the food came out. Ordered the same exact food. Fries came out overcooked. The pork sandwich was also overcooked and had TOO much vinegar. I was hoping they can stay consistent. We need good places in the neighborhood
