The Rumpus Room

I can’t say, that the bar is bad. We tried to get there and gone through the Taylor St. As we stand in front of the door, there was a lot of creepy people. We felt very unsafe and the entrance was very dark and dirty. A lot of police and crime around the door. It’s possible that the bar is more than ok. We won’t visit this side of the city again.

The bartenders are cool people. The drinks are affordable. This is a good spot to swing by after work.

Don't let the rough exterior fool you - it's all part of the charm of this gorgeous dive (said with the most love and meant as the highest compliment) bar. The owner Roxanne slings drinks behind the bar that many brings many of the locals in. Their happy hour is nothing to scoff at either, where else can you find a $3 draft? It's a beloved place where people come in and know each other by name. The drinks are stiff and the interior is gorgeous art deco. The Warfield is right across the street, a prime music/concert venue. Roxanne can give you the history of the place - the building itself is from the 1900s - and has a strong claim to be one of the oldest gay bars in SF (but don't take my word for it). The neon was commissioned (not to give it away) to look authentic and it does. They have bands and DJs, and karaokes on Tuesday nights. Take a deep breath, think of how thirsty you are, and lean into it: the rumpus room awaits.

$15 for a hangar one martini. Great little stop before heading to a show at the Warfield.

Amazing experience here :)! We were able to bring our own food so hubby and I got a slice down the block and ate and had a few drinks. Bartender was very nice and service was quick. Even got a shirt for memories. Will be back next time I am in SF!

Fun little bar. Oldie music with a disco feel. Upper and lower levels. Nice and clean with good views.

"This is my kind of place", declared one of our party. We all heartily agree with the sentiment, but remain divided in the best thing about the Rumous Room. Was it the photo booth, or perhaps the 70's acid blues that provided the soundtrack to our confab. The sprinkling of friendly locals, and knowledgeable bartender who put us at ease and concocted the perfect Paper Plane. Different strokes, something for everyone. Pour moi? The spiral staircase leading to inky heights.

Favorite bar in the city. Great employees and perfect prices. Long time fan
