Hawaii West - San Francisco

I highly recommend going there late at night. We first dropped by around 2 AM after a show, concert, or club outing. The idea was to quickly stop in to use the restroom before making the drive home, so we planned to order a Coke to be polite. But then we spotted the food menu, and it changed everything for us. We tried the Spam burger and the kimchi fried rice (which includes Spam, of course), all thanks to Sonny, the star chef and bartender with a delightfully grumpy charm. No matter what time you arrive—if they're open and she's there—she'll whip up some delicious, salty late-night guilty pleasures for you, along with a bit of banter. Seriously, you must try the Spam burger: it's Spam on a toasted bun with melted American cheese, and it’s a game changer. We've been back several times since then, and we've been lucky enough to have Sonny each time. Now, whenever we visit the city, we make it a point to stop by. You should too! P.S. We love you, Sonny, in case that wasn't clear. P.P.S. Don’t play "Sunny" by Bobby Hebb on the jukebox—she hates that!

The owners are fantastic and the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable. It's a charming little dive with character. The jukebox seems to have a coin permanently lodged in it, adding to the quirky vibe. There are comfortable couches to relax on. I absolutely love it!

Absolutely fantastic bar! The drinks are almost entirely made of liquor, and the atmosphere is simply perfect. The locals are friendly and have a warm, welcoming spirit.

This is the epitome of a wall in a hole bive dar and strangely cozy. Have a scotchy or a kick jungle juice, it all feels like where you would come to laugh and enjoy the end of the world.

Not gonna lie. It's gross. Walk in and smells like a convalescent home with smokers. Kitchen smokey and no customers because they smoking darts back there. Music stops and staff don't care to put it back on. Order a drink, barkeep walks to wall to read what's in it, the glass comes with specs of something foreign in rim. I stuck to bottled beer. Was cold but never know what they charge if you do a big order.
