Bow Bow Cocktail Lounge - San Francisco, California

I recently visited this cozy bar and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, thanks to the colorful lighting that gives the place a fun, almost neon-lit vibe. The ceiling is decked out with string lights, which adds a festive touch, making the space feel warm and welcoming.

The décor is eclectic, with a mix of Tsingtao beer banners and traditional artwork that gives the bar a unique character. The bar area is well-stocked, and I appreciated the multiple screens showing different events, from sports to other entertainment, catering to a variety of interests.

The crowd was friendly and sociable, contributing to the lively energy of the place. It’s a great spot for a casual night out with friends or even for meeting new people. Whether you’re there to catch a game or just enjoy a drink, this bar offers a versatile experience.

Overall, this bar is a solid choice if you’re looking for a fun night out with a laid-back yet energetic atmosphere. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

I had such a blast at Bow Bow Cocktail Lounge, we were recommended this spot by a local and it did not disappoint. I recommend going later in the evening because when we first got there it was only the server and some locals playing cards at the bar, but honestly it added to the character of the place. As the night went on though, the place was packed. The bartender was so kind and very attentive. Highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy a casual fun karaoke bar.

This is a great neighborhood bar. Its very divey and the atmosphere is nice especially on the busier nights. The bartender on wednesday night was very attentive and friendly. The cocktails were good and we loved the free karaoke machine. I can see why there are alot of regulars here.

Traveled to San Francisco for work and had the itch to sing Karaoke with coworkers. Looked at a few reviews and decided on Bow Bow so off we went. Did not disappoint. Nice little hole in the wall with Karaoke. People here are so friendly. Karaoke basically self-service with no host. There are plenty of songs to choose from and sound quality was good. Had a great time!

My second time here and I am fascinated with this place. I don't know how to say it for you to understand, but it's something different. It is something unique you feel like you are outside the country in this case in China the people are very friendly and the bartender is a great lady.

Normally love this place, last time I was there it wasn't too busy but the service was extremely slow. Additionally, the karaoke that was normally good was not working appropriately and the lyrics weren't synced with the music, and it seemed to be skipping a bit. Probably just an off night, you should still go.

The name of the game is JENNY! She is the owner and bartender of Bow Bow! This is a staple on the community and bar scene in Chinatown, legit she makes sure everyone has the best time. More importantly she CAN SING! Such an incredible voice.
The bar is a super cool, dive, karaoke bar and it's free to sing!
