If you're searching for an authentic Irish experience in the heart of San Francisco, look no further than Irish Times. This vibrant sports bar and pub at 500 Sacramento St is a go-to destination for those who crave hearty Irish fare while enjoying the camaraderie that only a lively pub atmosphere can provide.

Irish Times perfectly blends a casual setting with a bustling energy that comes alive on its best nights—Monday, Friday, and Saturday. The space is wheelchair accessible and features both heated and covered outdoor seating, making it a welcoming spot for everyone, including dogs!

The menu is a celebration of traditional Irish cuisine, showcasing dishes that captivate the culinary spirit of the Emerald Isle. I was particularly impressed with the Bangers & Mash, which featured sautéed green beans and mushrooms drizzled in a rich caramelized onion gravy. Each bite was a comforting reminder of home-cooked meals shared with family.

  • The Times Burger: Perfectly cooked with aged cheddar, grilled onions, and a medley of toppings, it’s a must-try for burger aficionados.
  • Buffalo Chicken Sandwich: This delight comes with Irish cheddar and peppery fries, striking a fantastic balance between comfort and flavor.
  • Irish Breakfast: Available all day, it's a feast fit for a king, with eggs, Irish bacon, and a delightful array of accompaniments that leave you thoroughly satisfied.

For those seeking lighter fare, the Fish & Chips served with a house-made tartar sauce is a delight, featuring 12oz of wild-caught haddock that flakes beautifully with each bite. Pair it with a refreshing drink from their full bar, where happy hour specials can make the experience even sweeter.

What sets Irish Times apart is not just the food, but the warm atmosphere it exudes. Whether you're here for lunch with friends, a spirited evening out, or simply a good pint while watching your favorite sports, this venue caters to all. The staff is friendly, enhancing the overall experience, and the availability of options like delivery and takeout makes enjoying this culinary gem a breeze.

So, next time you're in the area, drop by Irish Times for a taste of Ireland. You’ll leave with your taste buds satisfied and your spirits lifted.
