St Marys Pub

I don’t go here all that often, but I like the vibe. Cheap beer and drinks. Not pretentious which is refreshing.

Awesome staff, awesome people, delicious drinks, adorable bar, transit directly outside– what more could you want?

Best Bloody Mary in the SFCA… stumps down. Tiny pool table in back let’s you escape your troubles and you can even dump those stupid 3 quarters that have been nothing but a noosense in the siiiiiiiick pinball machine on the the way to the bestest biggest latrine this side of the Mason Dixon. Whoo hoo I’m taking a real cab their now!
Big ups!

Visited St. Mary’s with a couple of friends one weekday evening. Overall, it was a decent bar.
I don’t drink, but my friends really enjoyed the beers they have on tap. I can’t remember all of them, but it’s a decent selection. They also told me that their mixed drinks were pretty good too. There was a couple bartenders working. They were pretty friendly and attentive. There was one girl there that was pretty wasted and the bartenders knew when they needed to cut her off. Very responsible.
The atmosphere here is super divey. I thought the music was too loud. It was hard to have a conversation. The bar stools were all taken when we got there, but they have cool half booths where you can sit and chill. There were a lot of what I assume to be regulars and I didn’t feel particularly welcomed. I kinda felt like we were getting the side-​eye the whole night.
I don’t know if I would come back here. My friends said the drinks weren’t anything to write home about and the atmosphere was not super welcoming. A solid 3 – 3.5 stars for St. Mary’s Pub.

Sure, it’s divey, but classy enough to have rival saint St George’s absinth. Me, I had an Anchor, as I listened to the bartender explain that he didn’t want to «over serve» the drunk girl next to me. She got a glass of water instead.

Great bar… and that’s from someone who doesn’t drink!
I’ve guest DJed here twice now and the bartenders are just great. Super friendly and willing to make their specialty drinks without alcohol. I had a killer virgin bloody mary my first time and a nice refreshing lime/​guava spritzer last night.
And the popcorn machine!!! Popcorn is the way to my heart. A great addition to the bar.

Perfect neighborhood dive bar, great daily drink specials. All the bartenders are really nice and easy to get along with. They have a kickass pinball machine and a pool table in the back, free popcorn, and THE BEST BLOODY MARY’S! I think they have at least 7 different varieties and they are all so so good. If you are in the neighborhood and need a drink and to chill, come here!

My god, the most amazing Bloody Mary ever! And I don’t even like Bloody Mary’s usually. It has a really unique punk rock vibe that I love. Also the bartenders are local and amazing and they have a fun popcorn machine on Sundays. I love this spot!

The neighborhood pub. Not a dive. Not upscale gentrified hipster cringe worthiness. Comfortable. Pool table. Good beer. Friendly people. Good times.

After moving into the Neighbourhood I stumbled upon St Marys Pub and was pleasantly surprised. The Bartender was friendly, it was early in the evening and not too crowded. The locals were friendly and we were made feel welcome with free pizza, this will be my local haunt from now on I think. The drinks were also quite cheap — which is nice. If you want a small dive bar with real character and a chilled out crowd then it’s definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful old bar from the 1940’s. A holdover from the days when the Mission was an Irish neighborhood. Lovely interior. Pool table. Juke box. Mixed crowd. Good food nearby. A real gem.

Caveat: I love me some dive bars.
St. Mary’s Pub is one of those establishments that have been around forever and is frequented by regulars from all walks of life. It’s nothing fancy, but everyone is super friendly and the drinks are cheap.
Bonus points for their slogan: «St. Mary’s Pub — The holiest place to fall from grace.»
CASH only, but they have an ATM inside. Also, pool table.

Some friends that live nearby suggested this place for after dinner boozing a few weeks ago.
On a Saturday night, it was busy, but we were still able to get a table.
HATE that it’s cash only, otherwise, LOVE this bar.
The crowd was very diverse, people were friendly, drinks were cheaper than a lot of places, and parking was easy.
What’s not to like? Some good people watching to boot:)

My favorite neighborhood bar!!! Love this place! Always a fun place to go, drinks are always amazing, and all the bartenders are awesome! Don’t forget it’s Cash Only!

love this place and everyone is amazingly friendly. best bloody marys too. my boyfriend doesnt like vodka so they made him one with tequila which was really good. i personally recommend the japanese bloody mary, its made with wasabi!

I’ve only been here twice, but I can walk home in 7 minutes, everyone has been friendly, and the beer is just the right price.

My favorite bar in the city.
But don’t come here. I don’t want it spoiled by too many people.
On the other hand, I want it to succeed and stay in business, so do come and spend lots of money. Just, like, don’t crowd me: okay?

ALRIGHT, hopefully those peeps who gave this amazing establishment not so great reviews carted their whiny butts back to the Marina where they can cavort happily in popped collar polo shirts and clink glasses of overpriced liquor together whilst talking about how great THEIR bars are.
While they do that, I’ll be drinking at St. Marys. I love the owner Maria, she is a cupcake dollface peach and has really turned this b*tch out since she bought it a couple years back. It used to be the bar that no one but insane old neighborhood sketchballs used to go into… and now they are still around but younger and better looking… and I’m not afraid to go in anymore!
Try the Santa Maria or one of the Blood Mary’s on Sunday. And all of the other bartenders are super sweetiefaces too. And it’s affordable. A little too affordable. If you know what I’m sayin?

I’m shocked at all these one star reviews! I’ve been here twice and its quickly becoming my favorite neighborhood bar. I’ve been to Broken Record far too many times and the crowd here is always better than Pissed off Petes. Also why is everyone at this bar super good looking and drinking alone?
I like the male bartender here way more than the female one. He showed me his id and I stared at thing for the longest time looking for the birthday. I thought he was trying to point out how much older he was than me since everyone does that when they check my ID so I look at the year and I’m like oh thats okay and my friend and him are all wtf and told me he had the same birthday as me! Hi Tim! Ohh FUN FACT TIME. Just earlier that day we had a statistics professor guest speak and he told us in a room of 25+ people, there is a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance two people will have the same birthday.
Their last call is 1:45am on a Tuesday night which is awesome since I get out of class at 10pm. Crazy! I’m so used to midnight last calls. How am I supposed to drink myself to emotional oblivion in two hours time? Thank God for St. Marys!!!
There is a jukebox and a pool table. You have to tell the bartender if you want to use the jukebox though because they have to switch the music thingie over. The pool room is in the back in the tiniest room ever so you have to use those short fat sticks the majority of the time. People always look so silly using them teehee.
Drinks are crazy cheap. They ran out of pineapple juice though so I couldn’t get my new favorite Malibu+vanillavodka+pineapple juice concoction. They also have daily specials written in chalk on the door. Ambiance is dark and moody with plush booths and tables opposite the bar. Lots of food options right next door that are open late. The pizza place is awesome. Midnight pizza omnomnom. Also how the hell is this a dive bar??? By far the nicest dive bar I’ve ever been to.

I remember walking past the St. Mary’s Pub as a kid, too little to peek over the half door — it’s been there forever but now it’s a whole new St. Mary’s Pub.
I moved out of the neighborhood and when I came back, I had a new little spot to dive to. I’m really excited to see such a fun new little spot outside of La Mission and closer to Bernal.
St. Mary’s went through renovations and have new owners. I love the interior and the feel. The owners (and bartenders) are very nice people and make some pretty nice drinks. They still play the Giants game and have that neighborhood bar feel.
The Margaritas come in full size pint glasses, for about $ 6.00. Sunday is“Sunday Blood Sunday” where they have 7 different and very unique Bloody Mary’s. My favorite so far is the Inferno Mary, made with a homemade habenero sauce.
Sunday is Funday at the St. Mary’s Pub!
