Noc Noc

Most Unusual Bar in San Francisco · CA

Bar · San Francisco, CA · Since 1986

The overview

Lower Haight's most unusual bar.

Noc Noc has been the Lower Haight's otherworldly dive since 1986, a dim, sculpted grotto that looks like a set from "Blade Runner" by way of the Flintstones. There's no hard liquor — just beer, wine and sake — plus cheap happy hours and a downtempo, dub-heavy soundtrack that made it a neighborhood cornerstone.

A San Francisco original for nearly 40 years, Noc Noc is the 2025 Centurion Award winner.

What they're known for

  • Blade-Runner-meets-Flintstones decor
