Yelp.com Review - by Julia E.

4 of 5 stars. I love the Cow. I don't care what the other reviews say. It was the first bar that I legally went to in San Francisco and it was great. Yes, it gets crowded. Yes, sometimes the dj sucks. But…

1 of 5 stars. An SF native took us here, but we saw an ad for the Holy Cow on the back of a tourist map. That kinda put me off. I give it one star, but in all fairness I was drunk before I got there.

1 of 5 stars. This place is a complete dive that no self-respecting San Franciscan should ever step into. Unless you are completely hammered from all the drinks that were sent to your table of four girls at The…

5 of 5 stars. This place was great. Yes. It is a meat market (so guys you should have no problem meeting girls here), but you will have fun. The music is top 40 with some 80's hits. The dance floor is kinda of…

1 of 5 stars. "Where there's always a party and never a cover." They must mean a slumber party because this place is pretty *yawn* boring. Plus....no covers at a slumber party (wtf)? If you feel like actually…
