With over a dozen beers on tap, hearty American pub fare, a regular flow of drink specials, the hottest bartenders in town, and home to the legendary Chug Tower (three liters of beer with a sizzling plate of nachos on the side), Chug Pub is a great spot in the Sunset to get your beer on.
The Offer: $10 for $20 worth of food at Chug Pub
The Spot: Conveniently located at 20th and Lincoln, right across from Golden Gate Park, Chug Pub is a classic bar-lover's bar. Local Sunset folks head to this joint for its laid back, comfortable atmosphere. The bartenders are quick and efficient without being brash. Their friendly vibe and ever-evolving cocktail concoctions will have you coming back time and time again. And after you've cued up your favorite jams on the killer jukebox and thrown a few pints back, head to the pool table to show off your snooker skills or venture out the patio for some fresh sunset air (er...fog).
The Fare: Boasting a menu filled with classic pub grub (or as we like to call it, Chug Pub Grub), this Sunset staple is a great place to rest your weary head and fill your empty stomach after a night on the town. They've got what every bar should have: onion rings, fish & chips, grilled cheese, buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, beer-battered shrimp and chicken tenders. Add to that two different types of insanely delicious fries (yes, including curly), and you've got yourself a new go-to spot for fried fare that is fit for a king.
What's on Tap: Ace's Pear Cider, Amstel Light, Anchor Steam, Blue Moon, Chug Pub Blonde Ale, Fat Tire, Guiness, Newcastle, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Pilsner Urquell, Pyramid Hefeweizen, Sierra Nevada, Stella, Torpedo Double IPA
And, if you're looking for delicious cocktails and a feelgood island ambiance, be sure to hula on over to Chug Pub's sister bar, Tiki Haven, on Noriega near 19th.
