(711 Ratings)
Historic LGBTQ+ haven

Much of the city by the Bay is steeped in various histories that have helped shape the soul of San Francisco. Harvey's is one of those fascinating spots.

HARVEY'S DOES NOT VALUE GOOD CUSTOMERS

Thanks to an employee named "Sam" I was humiliated because they decided to close early and he even got physical with me. He was very rude and obnoxious for no reason. I came to eat at 11:30. The hours posted on the door states they close at 1:00am, yet he decided to be very rude to me and say they were closed and proceeded to close the door on my face. I had been to this place many times before but and never experienced this type of behavior. In fact, I have never been treated so badly in my life! I will be legally looking further into this matter. Please avoid giving this place any business. They do not value their customers
