"My wife and I decided to spend her birthday in San Francisco on the weekend of 13-14 December 2025. We had been planning to drive home (5 hours) early Sunday morning to catch the Bills @ Patriots game, when a search found this particular Bills Backer Bar, and we decided to extend our stay a day. Well . . . What an experience! Our Uber dropped us off across the street and before we had crossed, we were immediately welcomed. Fortunately, we got there early because the place packed quickly with Bills (and Eagles) fans — it’s also an Eagles Backer Bar. The next few hours were by far the most fun I’ve had in a bar in at least 35 years. I felt like I was on a room full of long-term friends. Staff and customers alike were without exception truly welcoming and wonderful. The experience was unbelievable. I’ve been in Bills bars literally all across the US, and this is second to none. I sent messages and Google Maps pins to everyone I know about how great this place really is. No lie: I’d rather drive the 5 hours from my home to see a Bills game here than to fly to Buffalo to see a game. This place is only missing a good beef-on-weck and great wings (they have no food), but I’m not sure you can find paragon versions of either in San Francisco. It’s a very small price to pay for an outstanding friendly welcoming experience. My wife and I both agree, the time spent at NorthStar was the highlight of our whole trip and the most fun we’ve had at a bar in several decades. We will be back to this establishment, planning a trip around watching a Bills game. Thanks guys for a wonderful experience! By the way, the reason for a lot of the money spent was because we tipped extremely well for extremely exceptional service and the experience. Also, we bought some merch"

"Come here often to watch the Buffalo Bills games. Always served quickly and like family. Mark, one of the owners runs a great establishment and employs really great people in Sub, Billy, Greg, Allie and many others."

"This sports bar is the perfect place to catch all the big games! They have an excellent variety of drinks, from craft beers to cocktails, so there's something for everyone. The service is top-notch — the staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to make great recommendations. With plenty of big screens, you won't miss a single moment, whether it's NFL, NBA, or any other sport. It's a great atmosphere for hanging out with friends, enjoying good drinks, and cheering for your favorite teams. Highly recommend!"

"Only came for a drink,stayed for a couple more...music was amazing, lovely place to stay and watch the world go by in a beautiful city. If you're into American sports,it will cater for you.....a beautiful spot away from the tourist track...Thank you"

"If you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan living in or visiting San Francisco, you need to check out the NorthStar Café in North Beach. This place is the official home of Birdgang SF, the most welcoming and passionate Eagles fan group in the city. The bar is shared with the SF Bills Backers (they take the front), but Eagles fans take over the back room, complete with isolated sound, so you get the full Birds experience. The space has a great energy, tons of camaraderie, and legit Philly vibes every game day. Ask for Jimbo — he’s the heart of the crew. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, he’ll make you feel like part of the family. Fly Eagles Fly 🦅💚"
