Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist is a weird place. You enter through a door with a very masculine playboy bunny into the main bar. There aren't any tables in the bar because almost every square inch of floor is taken up by full kegs of beer. In the back room is a pinball machine and a pool table, and the ordering window for food. Everyone hangs out outside in the big backyard, where there are porta potties, picnic tables and hooks on the wall to hang bikes. I've eaten the burgers here 3 times, and I'm still not sure if they're so good because I've always been drinking heavily or if they're actually good food. Either way, I keep going back for them. During warmer months the backyard gets totally packed, but when it's cold and rainy, most of the tables will still be full. If you want a real dive bar experience in the Mission with good beer and great burgers, Zeitgeist is definitely what you're looking for.
