"Columbus Cafe is a great find if you're looking for a chill, uncrowded bar to relax in. It has a classic, laid-back neighborhood feel that's very welcoming. When we visited, they had a bingo game going on, which added a really fun and energetic layer to the evening. One very important heads-up, though: the host's commentary was definitely for an 18+ crowd. We had a great time with it, but this is probably not the place to bring your kids for a casual drink. This spot seems aimed at a chill crowd that appreciates some unfiltered humor. If that's you, you'll have a lot of fun here."

"I stopped into Columbus Cafe last night with my boyfriend for two shots of Fernet, and the experience was honestly shocking. The bartender poured barely an ounce each. As someone who works in the industry myself, I politely asked if she could pour the correct amount. She re measured and realized she hadn't poured a full shot, so she topped it off. What happened next was completely unprofessional. She threw the check and the pen at me and even made a snide verbal remark. My boyfriend and I were stunned. There was absolutely no reason for that kind of attitude especially when the mistake wasn't mine to begin with. Really disappointing service, and definitely not the kind of energy you expect from a bar in North Beach. It was an Asian American woman. I hope the establishment will do something about this. She's the worst bartender I've ever encountered my entire life."

"The first night we went the man bartender was great and super helpful and fun and the second night the woman bartender was too drunk to realize she asked us 3 times for our IDs and when we mentioned she was drunk the bouncer chased us out after we called the bartender out for being wasted. Keep the guy who works Wednesday nights but fire the woman who bartends Thursdays."

"Bartender was extremely rude. She asked for our ID’s in the most hostile way when we arrived. Most of us are 35+. She yelled at us for having an asian tea without even asking nicely that we throw it away. Honestly a terribly experience. We would have happily thrown away the tea if we knew it was an issue. We left after that, but it was just a really terrible experience."

"Me and my wife had a great time here on Wednesday afternoon with the male bartender, every other server we encountered after that was worst then the last. The mid 30's female bartender asked us for our ID 4 times and tried to fight us when we pointed that out. Weird people."
