What is there to say about Zeitgeist that hasn't already been covered in 700 reviews? You simply must go at least once to experience this San Francisco institution. It will be what it will be.

As I sat outside in the beer garden, breathed in the smoke of the sizzling burgers and drank my pitcher of beer I thought about how non threatening I must have looked surrounded by all the bikers and...

It doesn't matter that the staff is pushy, angry, and yells at you for the slightest awkwardness. (Is this the line? Oh wait, is that the line?)It doesn't matter that the outdoor patio is filled...

There are so many exciting things about Zeitgeist that go beyond pitchers of beer. Crunchy gravel. Picnic tables. Actually more fun when crowded. Pink elephants. Pinball machines. Diner window with a...

I used to really love Zeitgeist, but lately, it just seems like the place has gone way downhill. First, there is the staff - yeah they have always been kind of snarky, but in a way that was not...

Completely average dive bar. The same hardwood floors, a pool table, with bumper stickers and "kitsch" paintings on the walls, while classic (and occasionally punk) rock plays in the background that...

In order to have a 4 star experience here you need to bring that friend who doesn't drink, and loooves to stand in lines for long periods of time (and because he is sober he is able to remember...

Lilke most dive bars, I don't expect much in terms of customer service, beer choices, and overall ambience. Since this is my second visit here, my feelings about this place has dropped to lukewarm....

Does this place need another review? Not really.Dirty, grimy, loud. So-so burgers and potatoes.Go for the outdoor seating and the great conversations with people you'll meet. Go on a weeknight--they...

Let's just say the normal rules of decorum do not apply at the Zeitgeist. The food ordering process is byzantine, and the attitude is roughly the same as when you go to a bike store in the Mission....

I could live without it, strange crowds and rude staff. Bouncers power tripping over enforcing some ridiculous rules set up by the staff, i guess this is the only type of authority and saying the...

Great dive bar. Get a pitcher of beer, smoke a joint and relax. Good mix of people although it got a little more "trendy" i guess you'd call it. When i first started going there the crowd was more...

I've been going to ZG since '88 -- It is an SF institution. ZG used to be a great punk motorcycle racer boy/girl bar where anything and everything goes and it often did. I practically lived there in...

Not bad at all. Drank some beer, played some pool, ate good food and enjoyed good company without any hassle or attention. It's perfect for the sunny afternoon you don't want to go to class, or...

I'm mixed on this one. On the one hand, I love dive bars and the huge outdoor patio area basically rules. On the other hand, the staff sucks.It was my friend's 30th birthday celebration and a group...

This place is amusing. A crazy, crazy mix of people. A large selection of local and non local beers on tap. A cheap as chips kichen that takes a fortnight to get you your food. Also, you hear a half...

I've had my share of dive bars in my life (I'm from Sonoma County) and I always go somewhat reluctantly. But this one I would go back to with a smile on my face. But I wouldn't cross town to get...
