O'Keeffe's Bar

6 shots of Jameson 2 beers $18. -- That should be all I need to say about that.

So there was a gruff Irish woman at the bar and you could tell that this was a locals hangout. But once we sat down and ordered a couple of shots of Jameson, that seemed to signal that we were okay. There was live music on a Friday night and it was really cool listening to some old Irish music played on some traditional instruments. The locals were nice and willing to strike up a conversation. We tried to buy the band a round of shots but the bartender basically said no, and served them up to the band anyway. I'm thinking that's how they were being paid for their services.
Ultimately we had 6 shots of Jameson, 2 beers and the tab came out to $18. That's all you really need to know.
Great vibe, we will definitely be back.

Your sort of atypical divey Irish pub. It's definitely a local spot and when I went on Friday there were a few people sitting in a circle, playing instruments and singing. It was really charming. It's right down the street from me and definitely a good spot for a nightcap.

Coming from NYC, I've been on the search for all the dog-friendly bars in San Francisco. Not only was my little mutt welcomed at O'Keeffe's but I also got a can of Guinness for all of $4. What? That's less than how much you can get it in downtown Brooklyn. Plus it was served at the proper temperature, slightly less than room temperature, to get all the flavor.

There are no drafts at this place. Just bottles and shots. And there's a pool table. Rock on! Neighborhood dog-friendly joint. And Annie is a doll.
