Reviews for The Chieftain Irish Pub & Restaurant in San Francisco, CA

I came here for dessert and I GOT DESSERT. My favorite was absolutely the chocolate cake but the apple tart was exceptionally... flavorful and crispy. Will definitely stop by for dinner soon! Read more

Nice little pub tucked in downtown SF. Decided to get a couple of apps instead of an entree' because they looked so good:... roasted brussels sprout in a soy/chili/honey reduction, and pub fries with lamb chili and cheddar. Delicious and large portions;had to take most home. Have a great beer selection too... you don't often find Kilkenny Cream Ale on tap! Read more

Really great food, great selection of drinks and service was perfect. Highly recommend, thank you!!

The chieftain is still wonderful and one of our favorite places to visit! Try the brussel sprouts and birria ???? tacos. Tacos... in an Irish place?! YES they?re fantastic! One of the few places you can get a traditional Irish breakfast. They also haveKilkenny on top which if you know you know. Always a treat! Read more

Fantastic reception from the bartender. If he didn't own the place, his confidence and courtesy made me feel like he did. Came... in as the last guy eating in the evening and they made me a perfect lamb Burger. I couldn't have been happier with my visit. Read more

Let me first start by saying I didn't go here for beer or drinks like probably 90% of the people go who here. We wanted some... Irish pub food. I got the shepherds pie and my wife for the Irish stew. Both were under seasoned and a bit below expectations. I wouldn't recommend either. However, the brussel sprouts appetizer was absolutely awesome. It seemed like a grab a drink anda couple apps type place and that would be great. Service was good. The lady was so so nice but definitely struggling under thepressure. Had multiples of the food brought out and confusingly taken away. The place has a charming look/atmosphere though. Read more

Very good! Plenty of drafts to choose from. Happy hour starts at 3. Chili dog and fries, sliders, cup of chili, croquet. Loved... the lamb chili, has a nice bite to it. Read more
