What players say

Great low key bar. Least when we went. Back room has pool table which is coin operated. The bar tender had a great nature. Mostly regulars come here I think. The location is great, right next to the west portal Muni station. Lot of great places to eat around as well.

★★★★☆ Chirag, Aug 2018

Philosopher’s Club is the kind of neighborhood bar that reminds you why people fall in love with West Portal. It serves as a true hub for the community. The owners clearly care about both their establishment and the neighborhood.
