Five stars due to their dope tater tots. They have a cozy heated outdoor patio area which was nice. Cash only. I finally their carne asada tater tots and i really liked it. I asked for some extra yogurt on the side and it was really good. Ok fries though. Service can be slow during lunch as there's only one cook.

Classic dive bar with a good beer selection and some of the best tots in the city. Surly bartenders, but that's part of the experience. One curious aspect...cash only, but they don't really have change on hand, so make sure to bring small bills.

A hole in the wall place with good food and well-sized covered back patio. I ordered the veggie burger with tater tots because the patty was made in house and it hit the spot after a long bike ride! I'll have to come back and try the tofu wrap- I appreciate how a small bar has TWO vegetarian options. This bar looks like a great third place - it was playing a women's rugby game on the projector at noon on a Saturday with a devoted fan base, and posters advertised various local music groups and trivia a few weeks a month. Logistics: - CASH ONLY, ATM on premises - indoor and covered and enclosed back patio seating - extremely limited street parking nearby but close to Caltrain - vegetarian and one vegan option

Carne asada tots, live music, a big back patio, and a good beer list. Also, grabbing food/drinks to go and taking it to the park across the street got me through some of the rougher parts of Covid lockdown, so I'll always have a place in my heart for Thee Parkside.

I came back to have lunch here, I needed to fulfill a craving for a bar burger. I did ask the staff if they'd recommend that or the drunk pollo sandwich which also sounded good, and they said go with the burger. They're cash only and the menu seems to reflect the total price which is nice. Not sure if it's today or everyday but it seems like there's just one person manning the food side but I got my food in less than the time quoted (15 minutes). I was in no rush and enjoying a drink so that was fine. The food was fresh and hot and I dug into the fries first which were crispy and nicely salted. The burger patty was much thicker than I was expecting and everything tasted delicious. I'd describe this spot as a dive bar but the patio is nice and bright with lots of picnic table seating. I can't speak to what the evenings look like but it's a chill spot to grab food or a drink during the afternoon.

Cant beat it. Great food, huge portions, good beer, and a casual environment. Plus, it is all priced right. We go here every other week after our games to enjoy some beer and snacks.

No frills dive bar - we popped by one random Tuesday evening and they were serving happy hour drinks. There's a decent selection of beers, cider and kombucha on tap which is pretty nice since most places don't really offer cider or kombucha draft. There's a small kitchen out back serving many greasy items to help with the drinking and the loaded carne asada tots were very satisfying. The fries were pretty good too which we ordered for the non-meat eaters. For a random Tuesday they were pretty busy and I can see this spot being a great neighborhood place to pop by for evening drinks. It seems they offer live music in the evenings but we left before anyone got up on stage.

Hey everybody, Ma wife and I enjoyed an afternoon brew and some veggie tatchos:m :D they were super yummy, but no discount given for cutting out the cow. Our bartender required our vaccine cards & IDs, and was very empathetic to our afternoon case of the hazeys. The patio is open, and gave us a sweet reprieve from the windy streets today. The rock n' roll was playing, and thee park side vibes still remain. Take that Covid!
