About this business

You can feel good about drinking at this cozy and unpretentious spot because Phone Booth has a lot of heart. They are involved in quite a few AIDS benefits, community development programs and other good deeds. One whole wall is dedicated to the altruistic projects of 75-year-old owner Linda Pencost. A pool table, pinball and piano, which is used occasionally to produce live music, are other great reasons to visit.

Kinda like a city, divey, freakshow, Cheers. Love it.

This edgy Mission haunt is as small as its name implies and has a rockin' jukebox. – The Scene Located off any beaten path, Phone Booth attracts a mixed bag of friendly folks--from older neighborhood regulars who start their day with a cocktail to young punky lesbians and rock-and-roll straights. The place is tiny, with some stools at the bar, a few tables and chairs across from it, and a pool table squeezed into the room. Despite itself, the Phone Booth has a great reputation and can get crowded on the weekends. Of course, ... read more
