Tempest Bar & Box Kitchen 2940 431 Natoma Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

"I had one Pliny the Elder beer for 14 dollars, double the price you can find at the store. The place fills up quickly so come early if you want to reserve a seat. It has a good pool table, but not enough room, so you will be bumping into people when close to the bar."

"You might not be able to tell from the picture, but this burger is THICK, I get told I have a big mouth but it can barely fit around this burger. The best part is the burgers flavors make it taste refreshing. Definitely a must try if you haven’t been here before!"

"Just dropped off Pridmore Prickpickle at the Radio Flyer there on Howard street and he gave me 8 big dollar bills, and said lunch is on me. 8 dollars! I said, are you sure! I only gave you a ride into the city from Napa, WOW! The lunch options with that 8 bucks in hand were racing through my head faster than a speeding bullet. My first thought was Tommy's Joint but it's always packed, then I remembered the Tempest Bar & Box Kitchen was right around the corner! An easy decision, the grilled cheese sandwich is one of the best in the city, and their soup is amazing. 5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆"

"Cool bar. Nice vibe. Very friendly bar staff. Take care to remember ID for the doorman. Food is supplied by a sort of pop up place outside the premises, and is really good quality, and you have to actually leave the building to place the order. Trouble is you could easily have come in earlier with your colleagues for beers, before the doorman had started work, popped out later to order food, only to find the doorman now wants to see ID. Would be a shame to have to break up the party so unceremoniously!"

"This spot was our local watering hole back when I moved to San Francisco back in 2011. SUCH A COOL SPOT. The box burger next door used to have some vegan options, but I think they’ve decreased the options (last I looked), although they do have a rotating menu. Get “the special”, a shot and a beer — great place to hang out even though the neighborhood has changed."
