“ I love their fish and chips. Two long strips of fish. Meaty. For some reason my portion was smaller than my eat mate's. The portion size seemed to be equivalent to the size of the person. Haha. Loved the fat French fries. The noise level was 3 bells. There's so many cool pub dishes. You order food at the bar and pay first unless you have a tab. ”

“ Err meh gurd. Such grand Pubfood. The steak and meat pie is a meal I would crave in my so stuffed belly because the fish and chips blew me away. ”

“ This place serves the best Fish & Chips, located on Geary Blvd near Masonic Ave. You get two huge battered cod fish, along with wedgie fries. The pub atmosphere was quiet and pleasant during lunch hour, and the service was really great. ”

“ Good place to have lunch and watch the Euro cup. Seems to be a reasonable facsimile of an English club, which doesn't exist in England anymore. ”

“ I've only made two (2) trips to The Pig & Whistle, and I must admit that this pub has a special place in my heart. The Pig is located within a prime spot (for me) in San Francisco. This "fine dining pub" lies on Geary Blvd, one block away from the Target on Masonic Ave. I like the fact that I could run my errands at Target and then get myself a cool brewsky and a set of satisfying fish right next door! The pub does not appear to be filled with hipsters, just local dudes chopping it up with the bartender at the bar, of course. It's a very low-key spot, a feature which I love. I haven't ordered anything else other than a pint of beer and their delicious Fish N' Chips. After dining here (mainly, for their fish), it's safe to say that this dish is a sure bet. The pub delivers a fried fish which is something special. The cod meat is thick and succulent while the batter is frankly, light and crispy. Most fried foods make crispy sounds. But the Pig & Whistle's fried fish make a sound which actually "taste" satisfying. I know that I'm not biting into an oily piece of meat. I also know that the fish is perfectly incorporated within that light, crunchy batter. Since there are no unnecessary clusters of fried dough protruding it tastes as if they got the perfect fried fish down to a science. The chips, however, are basic steak fries. I can forgive the pub for this because the fish is so outstanding you'll probably feel that you'll get your money's worth. On my first visit, I did order Buffalo Wings. I would rank the wings with the steak fries as an "afterthought". Both dishes were honestly, standard bar food. The Pig & Whistle, is a friendly neighborhood pub with surprisingly, excellent fish. The bartender was quite the gentlemen and even gave me a history lesson behind the name, The Pig & Whistle. Also, the parking around the area is moderately easy. I give it a good 4.9....ayeee!! ”

“ The Pig and Whistle is a gem! The service here is absolutely amazing--friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. The food is delicious, with a great selection of dishes that are sure to please. The drinks are also top-notch, perfect for a night out with friends. However, I did notice a couple of minor issues. One of the TVs had a blue tint, which was a bit distracting. Additionally, some of the CDs in the jukebox don't work, which was a bit disappointing. Despite these small flaws, The Pig and Whistle offers a fantastic experience overall. I'll definitely be coming back! ”

“ I'm not a person who goes to a bar for drinks and food. But this place is definitely a spot for their fish & chips and chicken wings. Those were 2 of my favorite items. It was a little dark inside, but I guess that's how bars are set up. It did get a little loud when more people came in, but it wasn't too bad. Service was excellent, and food came out quickly. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. ”

“ I keep thinking this friendly English pub is a lot older than it is, like from the Barbary Coast days. But no, it opened only in 1991 which means I was old enough to have a pint in here back then. Meantime, The Pig & Whistle is among the most familiar and reasonably priced watering holes in the city. It's a place I can pop by as I traverse Geary from the Richmond. I have yet to eat here as I rarely have a hankering in the middle of the afternoon for bangers & mash. However, their menu is a lot more robust and well-rounded with burgers and even Mexican parmigiana, so yes, I should try the food. I'm more lured by the cheap but potent drinks... Like the $5.50 Tequila Sunrise (photo: https://yelp.to/IV-BCoMVdV). Lately kind bartender Chris has been making me the $7.50 'Espresso' Martini where he substitutes espresso with coffee and coffee liqueur (photo: https://yelp.to/v1FwVuy3yn). Delicious. A rotating crew of regulars hoist their pints, and they definitely add to the pub's "Cheers"-like vibe. DRINKS - 4 stars...cheap and the faux-espresso martini is a winner AMBIANCE - 4 stars...friendly British-style space SERVICE - 4.5 stars...Chris is an expert bartender TOTAL - 4 stars...where everyone knows your name RELATED - Exploring the Richmond?

“ Damn, this feels bitter sweet to write. Here's my love letter to Pig and Whistle. Living in Laurel Heights, you essentially are in the equivalent of the Sahara Desert, but for bars. I stumbled into this place years ago because it was the closest place to wet my whistle, and over the years have been lucky enough to make some life long friends. The unassuming bar has epic fish and chips, even better country fried chicken, and some split pea soup that gives Anderson's a run for its money. If you go during the daytime be prepared for daytime Chris, maybe one of the most kind hearted genuine bartenders you could ever have. Love you Chris! If you go during the weekend, be prepared for CJ and Seamus. Sure CJ might ruffle some feathers, but it's for the best interest of the bar keeping the bullshit losers out. Those losers can go drink and cause problems at Happy Lounge or Fizzees where all douchebag degenerates belong. He makes a damn good dirty martini, and hurricane that will knock you on your ass if you have more than one. Seamus locks it down in the background making sure your cup never goes empty. My only complaint is the juke box that only half the discs work on... sorry Steve, but someone had to say it. Go to the Pig and Whistle, talk to a regular, enjoy a cold beer, maybe a shot of the black sambuca, and I can almost guarantee you will walk in a stranger, but leave with friends. I'll always love you Pig and Whistle, you forever have my heart. -Evan ”

“ This is a perfect place for lunch if you're a fan of hearty and comfort food in unpretentious setting. Prices are very affordable, ambiance is down to earth and authentic and the bartender (also as a server) was kind and courteous. Menu is classic British grubs and they're coming at you in generous portions. I don't know if this English pub's owner is either from Sheffield in Yorkshire or Newcastle, but there was also the legendary The Pig & Whistle on Leopold Street in Sheffield England that later became The Fountain bar. There was one in Newcastle Upon Tyne England as well, but the one in Sheffield was the famous one. Now about the food .. I've had the Steak & Mushroom Pie and also an order of Curry Fries. I think I have found my favorite fries in the whole city! The best fries and they are thick cuts! The Steak & Mushroom Pie was good and satisfying even though I wished there was more pastry on the dish ratio than what I was served. But yes, I will definitely coming back to try their fish & chips, cheeseburgers and cornish hen next time. I love the down to earth ambiance and the authenticity of The Pig & Whistle. Come here for late lunch or early dinner around 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM for a very low key and relaxing meal experience. ”
