Lost and Found

Lost and Found still don't miss. As much as I would love to gatekeep this place, it deserves all the praise in the world. My pick for best bar in San Francisco and it's always my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting or looking for a great place to hang.

Recently hosted a birthday gathering here with about 10 people. My girlfriend made a reservation ahead of time and we had the middle tables reserved for us when we arrived. There is also an option to rent out the karaoke rooms behind, but no need if you just wanna enjoy the great food and drinks. I honestly, don't think you could go wrong with any option on the menu and I wholeheartedly would defend this bar.

My go-to's would be:
Birria Noodle Soup - I think the chef's kiss for this dish is the fresh egg noodles. They go perfectly with the beefy soup and tender meat soaking up the flavors in each bite.

Tom Yum Mac & Cheese - not normally found at other spots and has a pleasant tang with each bite.

Lost & Found Wings - I am a dry seasoning wings type of guy, but these are a great saucy wing.

Parkside Punch - sweet, sour, and salty tasting from the Li-Hing. Might be more of an acquired taste, but it is a signature punch that I always get when here.

J-Town Matcha - Bourbon can be a bit strong on this, but once everything is mixed, it's a matcha latte!

Presidio Sour (seasonal) - the egg whites on this provide a nice froth which cuts through the sour aspect of the drink. Not overly sweet nor tart, good balance.

Definitely come here during Happy Hour! Food was good especially for the price.

I would highly recommend the mac and cheese and the garlic fries.

Service was excellent the bar tender is also the head chef and gave me the run down on the whole menu.

Ambiance is very fun with edmish music. Music can be loud depending on where you're seated. So choose wisely if you're going with friends to chat.

Don't sleep on the food !
Quesabirria tacos & Caesar salad at happy hour were great !
Cool vibe and good pretty drinks too

3.5 stars -
Hmm a bit conflicted about my visit here. Walked into the bar with a group of friends after eating at a restaurant nearby. The vibe was nice, the bartenders friendly, and there was enough space to accommodate 5 of us at a table. However I feel that the drinks didn't hit like we expected them to, where everything was overly strong/a bit unbalanced, or not sweet at all for drinks that look like they should be, like my matcha one and a lot of others my friends ordered. I've heard good things about the food so would return to try those & other drinks on the menu, but was just a bit conflicted about loving it this time around!

Lost and Found is our new favorite Happy Hour spot to hang out at. Considering I don't like to go to places in SF in my free time or on weekends, Lost and Found was the perfect fun exception. They have really good Happy Hour deals and a lot to choose from which I appreciated. I am used to Happy Hour deals only offering 3-6 items.

FOOD: 9/10
THE FOOD!!! SO. GOOD. Respectfully, I was not expecting much. Man, was I wrong? The portion was hearty. The food was so flavorful. The Garlic Noodles were my absolute favorite and had the perfect savory garlic taste. The LF wings were perfectly sweet, savory, and sticky. Another favorite!

SERVICE: 8/10
Service was standard, nothing above and beyond, but the guy at the bar was chill. Every time we needed something, he was chill about it and attentive. There is water on the tap for self-serve along with utensils and napkins.

AMBIANCE: 10/10
The ambiance was absolutely e v e r y t h i n g. What a vibe! The wall art was very cute. You can tell it's stuck on wallpaper but who cares? There were teddy bear candles on each table which sounded tacky but honestly, it was not. On each corner and wall, there are different TV stations turned on. The bar has sports while they have a projector projecting a movie. There is music in the background as well while all the TV/Movie viewings are silent and just for visuals. There is bar stool seating and a small amount of couch seating.

ALCOHOL: 8/10
Their alcohol is strong even for cocktails. I respect that because I know for the most part, you are paying money for the alcohol haha. But, if you are not a strong drinker, then just a heads up to consider.

PARKING: 7/10
Located on Taraval Street, depending on the time of day can be hit or miss. We stopped by on a Sunday evening so parking was found right up front and no need to pay for parking meters past 6 pm.

One of my favorite spots in the city. I love that it's more on the west side of SF in the Parkside neighborhood. Parking is super easy and convenient.

The inside is nice and cozy. A few tv screens to watch basketball games, as well as hanging lights. Been here probably over 10 times now and the drinks/food/service is always consistent. They probably have one of the best happy hours. You get a bunch of options, big portions, and great prices!Tuesday is taco Tuesday and happy hour all day, as well as Sunday. Wed-Sat has happy hour from 5-7pm.

Honestly all the food and drinks here are amazing but my favorites have to be the garlic fries, tacos, Tom yum wings and their margaritas.

10/10

Lost and Found is a neighborhood bar in the Sunset area opened by bar industry professionals in the Bay Area. It's not a big place but there is a bar counter and some tables.

My first drink was the mission dolores margarita ($12) which was refreshing and I liked the lollipop that came with the drink. It was slightly sweet from the pineapple but the rim added a little spice. My second drink was the dragon gate ($14) which basically tasted like bourbon peach tea. I also got the garlic fries ($5) which were huge and I would ask for it to be more garlicky next time because I love garlic.

They have a pretty good happy hour (Tuesdays to Saturdays 5-7pm and all day Sundays and Mondays) with a lot of their offerings at a discount. This is a pretty cool bar with a lot of good offerings.

An absolute classic bar in the sunset area. The service for drinks is always quick and the food is great! A great place to relax on a Friday night or to take someone on a little date!

If you are in the city, this is my #1 spot I would recommend. The food and drinks are soooo amazing!!! They offer a variety of affordable drinks and food AND they have happy hour. Their garlic fries, chicken wings, and tacos are a must everytime I'm here. They also have taco Tuesday deals. The service is always great! Usually the bartender is the only one serving but he does an amazing job. The food always comes out in a timely manner. The inside is a bit small but they offer spaces for big and small groups along with a room you could reserve. It's pretty dim inside as well.

This is my go-to bar in the Sunset District. Their drink menu is creative and changes every now and then. It's super chill and gets busy on towards the end of the week. Plus there are french fries!
