Connecticut Yankee

Great neighborhood bar in Potrero. Love the New England vibes and the patio. Always playing sports!

Food is also really good!!!

the "fried green tomato sando" is glorious - a true masterpiece of culinary art

out of all the pour guys bars, has the best sports watcher vibe amongst all of em!

When my former band mate was stopping by the Bay Area, trying to do a mini reunion for my former guitarist, drummer and I, we wanted to go somewhere that is distinct and where musicians feel at home. CY was it!

Connecticut Yankee is definitely a great bar with amazing food. I had the CY Burger (medium rare) with a side of fries. The chips on top of the patty and cheese just gave a satisfying crunch at each bite, and their secret sauce was way different and tasteful than you would expect. All of us enjoyed the fries, just the right amount of salt and pepper, crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside.

Both bartenders working there were just "that bartender" that you can strike up a conversation and feel like you've been friends a long time even at your first visit. I can say this is one of the top bars I love.

Had a delicious (and giant) bloody mary here and then some good fries. CY was a low-key place to meet a first date. I had zero expectations for the date *and* the bar, and was pleasantly surprised by both! There need to be down-to-earth places like this in an Instagrammed city that is too precious, inaccessible and full of itself. (And note, the first date right before this one was at the fancy Palm Court Restaurant... so I appreciate the full spectrum of SF restaurants.)

The vibe here reminds me of my fun days in SF as a young woman in the 90s... Nice staff who left us alone enough to get swept away in conversation (the two old people making googly eyes at each other and laughing like crazy...) but didn't totally ignore us. Friendly regulars. Got a fantastic kiss at my car after our drinks and we're still going strong, so... this bar has a place in my heart now.

Great neighborhood bar with outdoor space. From the looks on the outside you'd never guess what an extensive craft beer selection they have on tap. I was pleasantly surprised with the sour options - went with a Fieldwork beer - one of my favorite Bay Area breweries! Open on Monday nights too. Nice space in the back with open seating! Easy parking makes this a go-to spot in this neighborhood.

We were glad to run into this sports bar coming from Chase Center after an event (to avoid the high uber cost). It was about 10-15 minutes away, walking... one of the few places in the area available and open late (or at least till midnight on a Saturday). The area seemed safe, and even though we just had a couple beers, everything was great about this place. 

Great character inside, quirky decor on the walls, mostly dedicated to baseball, a cool fridge kinda hidden. The place wasn't crowded, so it was easy to find seating at the bar. The place is a bit on the smaller side but enough seating throughout, plus several TV's on the walls. So many beers on the menu to choose from. I tried the Waldo's Special Ale 420 special, and it was STRONG.. yup, triple IPA. Service friendly, and pretty standard. Cool casual spot overall, no complaints.

They get a zero. Just went on 10/26/22. We paid 3 different transactions.  Last transaction was only 8 drinks. They chargers me 12. Be careful with this business. They will charge extra. I asked for a manager and bar attendant  said manger was not available. very upsetting. Will not recommend this place.  Save receipts. They will over charge.

Great place. Nothing but kindness. Great employees that work super hard. They completely rock my socks

So I used to play SF co-ed softball league and we used to frequent Parkside and Connecticut Yankee after our games at Jackson Park. Had to get some service done on my moto down the street so I thought I'd drop by and definitely happy I did. Still great selection of brews and great, friendly staff. Had a bit of barfood and totally happy with my meatloaf patty melt. Cheesy, mushroomy and the meatloaf was a bit peppery but spot on. Nice crispy fries hit the spot. Won't wait so long to visit again

Connecticut Yankee has one of my favorite back patios in all of San Francisco! Their food is consistently delicious and the service is bomb!!!! I highly recommended the BLT salad and the salt & vinegar fries!

Also, Courtney is the best ever!! I've known her for years. She's highly professional and extremely personable.

5 Stars for the whole experience!!!! Thank you!
