Irish coffee - r - the - Buena Vista. I had one for breakfast and another for night cap. I was on vacation and this certainly made me feel more chill than any prison or chocolate factory tour. We had spend way too long in a line at Mama's so we opted for breakfast here instead. I was delighted by... More

Only came in for the Irish coffee so I sat at the bar. The gentleman who made it for me must have had a terrible morning because he acted like I just ruined his day.

Nothing special- Felt like I needed to have an Irish Coffee since I had heard so much about it. Had one Irish Coffee and my daughter and I split the clam chowder in a bread bowl. Wish that I had skipped the Irish Coffee. I can check the list and will skip on my next visit.

With a stunning view of the Bay, the Buena Vista beckons you to stop, have a drink, and savor SF's beautiful salt air. Great place for pub-style food including breakfast, served all day.
