I'm there every once in a while for a night cap with friends. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.
23-09-15 Ordered the quesadilla with pulled pork. Fabulous.
23-12-01 Cesar salad & Meat lovers pizza. Pretty good

This restaurant has a great ambiance and their outdoor patio is dog friendly. I got the NY steak rare 🥩 and it was very good. Sorry the photo is blurry. The main issue I had with Bell Tower is their service was horrible. The waiters kept forgetting my order, it took 45 minutes to just get served a beer, which came after I was halfway done my meal. However, when I got.my bill, they did not charge me for the beer, which was nice of them. Still, if they hired better wait staff, the experience would have been much better.

The ambience is nice. We preferred sitting outside during night. The quesadilla was way better than expected. The buffalo wings were also 👌🏻👌🏻 A lot of options for beer as well !

Lovely spot where you can really feel like you're among locals. The drinks are well priced. We didn't try the food but it looked great.

This was one of only 2 restaurants that we returned to during our week in San Francisco. Our first visit was late-night(ish) for food and drinks. I had a veggie burger, and my husband had a chicken sandwich. The French fries were to die for. We both had cocktails.
On our second visit, we brought an additional guest, and each enjoyed different beverages at the bar. The bartender was fun, friendly, and poured a great drink.

This was a hot day in the city. I got married at City Hall then came here with friends for lunch.
Honestly I was just happy we got a table big enough for all of us outside. Like I said, hot day
The food was great. My friends enjoyed the potato wedges, wings, hamburgers and more.
I split the spinach salad with walnuts and blue cheese and that was plenty of food. The salads are huge!
We debated 2 weeks on where to have lunch accommodating everyone's taste.
We're all regulars at the Cinch up the street. I said from the beginning let's just go to Bell Tower, then walk to the cinch afterwards
After more discussions on where to eat and a few cancelled reservations, we decided last minute to go to the Bell Tower. I said that's where we should go from the beginning
With drinks for a party of 8 the bill came about to just over 300 dollars. That means my wedding lunch came out to 37.50 per person. That's cheap for an after wedding lunch party
Service was great too

Ate outside, was good. Standard American pub fare, not a ton of inspired vegetarian but there’s always french fries and mac & cheese. The Veggie Burger was good and worth ordering. Beer selection was good, a crisp light ale for a “warm” San Francisco day. They have heaters you can adjust at each table in the parklet, which was a great add. Overall a good experience, but probably better if you eat meat.

A wonderful restaurant in San Francisco downtown. My wife and I loved it and, of course, I recommend it.

Noisy bar restaurant with great food but a little long on waiting for the food. French Onion soup was very good. As was the grilled pork loin. Good portions. Friendly staff.

Me and my friend came at night. Bar was full with a lot of people. I think it’s a sign of popular at night 10:30pm. And not a lot of restaurants open at that time. So anyways we went there. And we had sandwiches, veggie burgers, salmon. My friends also had alcohol drinks. The cans were not recommended, because it’s flavor and wording confusion. So I had veggie burger with French fries. The French fries were really good, nice texture and crispy and chewy and creamy inside. The veggie burger contains a slice of cheese, it looked really good. I only had on slide of bread because it was a big huge to me. The veggie burger was good and I recommended it.
