Great place to take a date!
But I had to knock this down a bit. I can't in good conscience give this place a high rating. I can name at least 10 bars that are better than this place (which is pretty bad). - Mischiefmaker , posted 04/01/08

Biergarten!
Great selection of beers available on tap and in pitchers. Also many imports that are hard to find elsewhere in bottles. A great place to go during a nice day and especially on a warm night (which seems to exist now in San Francisco). Pretty relax place, your night usually can't go wrong if you end up here. - Eric , posted 12/16/06

uncomparable
I happened to be sitting my the porto potties the other night, and I still had a damn good time. Gotta love a pitcher of fine handcrafted ale out on a smoky patio. Best of it's kind. - Arielle , posted 07/17/06

What's Not to Love?
You have to love a place whose slogan is Fast. Friendly. Service. Pick one. - j. , posted 05/03/06

The antonym of Fisherman's Wharf is Zeitgeist.
If that's not enough to convince you then do the rest of us a favor and stay the fuck away. - davel , posted 04/15/06

Pitchers, hamburgers, what more do you need?
Definitely one of my favorite watering holes in the upper Mission. Great selection of brews and they make a mean bloody mary. Just don't sit by the porta potties... - Hans , posted 03/13/06

I wanted this place to be better than it was. It was cold and a bit wet when I went, so I"m sure the outdoor patio in back would be more welcoming in better weather. They have a good collection of beers on tap, but very limited mixers in case you wanted to step away from the beer. I'll give it another shot, but it wasn't amazing for me. - holly , posted 01/18/06

I like it...
It's a great place to go for drinks when the weather is good. Otherwise I usually freeze outside in the cold and fog. Good bartenders... love the Tamale Lady! - Katrina , posted 01/17/06

friendly and helpful doorman
like most others I love the easy going outdoor patio atmosphere. it's like one of the bars or buddies house that you used to hang out at in college and knock back pitchers of beer.

One night I left my wallet in a cab and the doorman went out of his way to contact the cab company. A couple days later the cab company called me and returned my wallet.
thanks Z! - Keith , posted 05/20/05

honest bartenders
Yeah they serve a decent drink, but one time I was a dumbass and left a wad of cash on the bar and they saved it for me, didn't pocket it or give it away.

Doesn't get better than that. - Blairski , posted 05/03/05

Burgers, tequila, pinball, and a cigarette I found on the gravel while in a drunken stupor. Who could ask for anything more? It's like Disneyland. - Varuca , posted 04/14/05

Zeitgeist = punk-rock/biker dive bar extraordinaire.
Check out the burgers; they're brutally good with a pitcher of your favorite beer. They make one mean Bloody Mary, too. - Dougie , posted 04/04/05

Ass, grass or sass, Nobody rides for free
Zietgiest is the The taste, outlook, and spirit characteristic of a period or generation. Being a crazed biker, this place serves up kick ass burgers, cold beer, neo apocalyptic bartenders and total attitude. Thats why i like it. On any given weekend day , you will encounter dykes, bikers, stoners, motorcycle enthusiastics, short people, tall people, alkies,the cool set, graphic designers, mods, tattooed peoples, tekkies, freaks, geeks and shieks, o and one lovely tamale lady named Virginia.
Personally, I like to go there because its a kind of "nobody gives a shit" place. You can meld into the scenery or talk to anyone that will listen. Its kinda of like a dysfunctional home away from home.
Go there and try the burgers..say hello to Derek and Scott in the kitchen remember to tip them well! If you go on a critical mass night , you wont get a drink for atleast 5-10 minutes..
