Description

Nestled in Hayes, this long, narrow bar pairs inventive cocktails with standout vegan cuisine, cozy dim lighting and deep‑house DJs that energize the back room. The front lounge suits quieter conversation while the rear is lively and danceable; daily happy hour is a popular draw.

Service can be slow when busy, seating is limited and the space gets noisy; a few guests reported inconsistent security interactions. Despite that, many patrons return for the food, drinks, music and welcoming vibe.

Great vibes!! The drinks are delicious. The service is a little slow but I went at night and it was really busy so that is to be expected. The front room is a nice place to sit and chat and the back room is very loud and has a DJ.

The first time I visited Phonobar was on my birthday with my brother. We are both lifelong vegetarians and connoisseurs of fine vegetarian and vegan cuisine. After perusing the Om Sabor menu online we canceled our reservation at Greens and decided to try something new... And we were so happy that we did... The food was absolutely delicious!We sat in the hip lounge area near the DJ booth. It was gracefully lit with dim lighting which was bright enough to easily read the menus which were well organized and printed with large clean text.The service was friendly and attentive. And the atmosphere was festive!Most importantly, the food was amazing! Om Sabor Phonobar is one of my favorite places to eat in San Francisco!Vegetarian options: The kitchen at Phonobar is run by Om Sabor... A fully vegan food service so you need not worry about vegetarian options... Everything is vegetarian! And everything is Vegan!Parking: The specter if Parking is alway a concern in San Francisco. At Phonobar I was happily surprised to find that there is generous street parking (free at night) and a large public garage right next door.

Feels like a regular bar.... the branding made us think the music was especially creative. Too much fake meat on the menu imo. Ok w vegan if it's real food though. Waiters were nice enough.

Cozy and chic ambiance. Great craft cocktails and shareable bites. Ideal to go before a show at Bill graham or Davies Symphony Hall.

The restaurant has a dark, cozy atmosphere that's ideal for enjoying deep house music. Although it's a long and narrow space, it's worth venturing to the back to catch a DJ set if there's one happening.
