This place is great to stop in for a burger and a beer for lunch! The meat was perfectly cooked, the bun was not your usual run-of-the-mill sesame, and the fries were perfectly done! I love the huge selection of beers, and the service was great. I'll have to check it out for the after-work crowd.
Pros: Burgers, Beer Selection, Location
Cons: Busy, Pricey, Parking

The last place I want to be Friday after work is a bar crammed with people, at least a 20 minute wait for a beer and hot, stale air. There is nothing calming and relaxing about this place. If you enjoy re-living frat parties from your college days then this is the place for you. For those of us who have grown-up since college there are plenty of other bars in the area. However, it is a fine place to have a burger at lunch during the week.
Pros: Good for Lunch
Cons: Stale air, long wait, loud

Welcoming feel, just like a true English pub. Beers of any kind you could want. Bartenders friendly and atmosphere warm.

I've been to the Royal Exchange several times. I always have a great time. It's a great place to meet new people. The apps are pretty good and the bartenders are always friendly. It gets packed on Fridays, so you might want to go early to get a table. There's a really high guy-girl ratio, so, if you're a single woman looking for your mr. right or right now, you might want to check it out.
Pros: Good drinks. Great service. Good food.
Cons: Parking, but take MUNI.

This place is crowded at all times. Whether you go in for lunch, or after work for happy hour. However, it is worth it. The chili is delicous, they make a decent burger and beef dip, and the grilled flat iron steak is yummy! Prepare to wait a bit, and if you are going after work for happy hour, prepare to stand or get their early to secure a table. Ladies, tis true...there are way more men in here than there are women (and boy do they have egos!). Still fun, but I never stay here for more than an hour or so...you must move on.
Pros: Food, bartenders are super friendly
Cons: Way too crowded sometimes

Your typical array of meathead jocks and their hangers on congregate here after work to booze and mingle. BORING! On top of the mindless clientele, the drinks are overpriced and the service is way below average, but they remain entitled and snotty. Overall, I would say don't waste your time on this one and try somewhwere else.
Cons: Overpriced, bad service and below average pub food

Royal Exchange is a top spot to meet friends after work for a beer or cocktail. Friendly staff and group of people where you can talk/hear friends and meet new people as well. Royal Exchange has been a staple in my groups social circle for many years.

it's alright. the food used to be alot better, but its gone really downhill in the past year. plus, it's way overpriced and it seems like the prices are just getting higher and higher.
Pros: beer, food
Cons: crowd, prices

There are other bars right next to it like Schroeder's but Royal Exchange is a bit more casual, better lighting, better to watch sports, and has the more traditional pub food fare. The crowd seems to be a bit younger and the atmostphere is better to meet people.
