Fifth Arrow is located in the basement of a theater like building. You will need to go down the stairs when you first arrive. Make sure to get all your calls or messages to others when you are outside, since my friends and I had bad reception after we went into the restaurant. It's a really cute place though, with a couple bowling alleys and food/drinks. Food ordered: 1. Margherita Pizza (5/5): This is your basic Margherita pizza with Mozzarella Cheese, tomato sauce, basil, olive oil, and a special little bit of sprinkling of sea salt. 2. Funghi Pizza (3/5): Don't get me wrong, I like mushrooms, but maybe just not these type specifically. There was a stracciatella white sauce base, Wine Forest Mushroom, and was topped with a drizzle of Truffle Oil. This was a savorier pizza in contrast to the other pizzas tried. Butternut Squash Pizza (4/5): Topped with cubes of butternut squash, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, and a bit of sage leaves, this one was aesthetic. The stracciatella white sauce base was the same as the Funghi Pizza and it was fine. Overall, all pizzas were delicious and I absolutely loved the inflated crusts on the circumference of the pie, but the super thin crust that held all the toppings.

Fun place to hang out, eat and drink! There’s a small 3-lane bowling alley, and a large bar with table seating for dinner. The menu has a small selection, but all that we tried was well-prepared: chicken wings, margherita pizza, salad, and farm plate. The pizza has a sourdough crust that we loved. The wings had a tasty glaze with a nice balance between sweet and spicy. The other fun aspect is that they have several board games that are available to play. On a Wednesday night, the crowd was mostly young adults, probably relaxing after work. Yet, we felt comfortable with our pre-teen kids, who enjoyed it and wished we had planned ahead to reserve a bowling lane. Maybe next time!

Excellent place for a date night! I wish the bowling lasted longer than 1 hour, but in a way, 1 hour is good because if you put your buns into it, you will be sore the next day. Nice to arrive early so you can grab a drink or drinks at the hipster-y bar, lots of great beers and drinks from which to choose. Hidden spot in a mostly touristy area, but definitely not a touristy vibe when you get downstairs. Also, as a huge huge bonus, has a very modern Pop-a-Shot that I could probably spend my life savings playing if I were so ambitious.

Had a nice evening here bowling! Definitely want to make some reservations since the lanes are taken up quick. Could have three groups at one time. Was funny seeing people's faces coming down and seeing how much Slide has changed :). There's an assortment of goodies and tables off to the sides for dinner. Definitely lots of space. We tried a bunch of cocktails and a lot of appetizers. The two hours flew by. Would recommend the pizzas, sliders and brussel sprouts for easy eats.

It used to be the old Ruby Skye nightclub managed by my friend Reggie from around 2002 until 2017. The original venue was a movie house convert to a nightclub called Ruby Skye then in 2018 it was converted to the FIFTH ARROW RESTAURANT at Geary and Mason in San Francisco California PS anyone coming to San Francisco you have to come here.

Perfect way to kill a couple hours before a dinner reservation. All of the employees were nice and accommodating and the cocktails were good. Decent liquor selection and knowledgeable bartender. Didn’t try the food, the place was super clean and everything smelled good. I’d go back for sure!

  • Cole M

This is a cool place to come and watch sports, the food and the drinks are meh, but it's rare to find a place with this much space in Union Square that's not packed with people. I'm willing to come back and give this place another try, they just opened, and I'm rooting for them to improve.

  • Liz KK

Pretty small venue. It's nice, but nothing made me want to come back. Nothing special about the place, if you want to play games go to any other arcade/bar, if you want cool drinks go to a tiki bar, if you don't know what you want you might find yourself here at the end of a long night.

  • Joao Belo

Super cool bar with a few bowling lanes, arcade games and other entertainment right in the core of San Francisco, a block away from union square. Definitely a great place for a night out or to catch up with friends after work!

  • Jared Session

Fantastic atmosphere, drinks, food and excellent service from the bartender, waitress, and a special shout out to whomever was in charge of the music and rolled with late 90s early 00s hip hop/pop/r&b

  • Samantha Farmer

The best corporate party we've hosted in a long time. Everyone was super excited about the venue and it exceeded expectations. They already want me to book it again next year. Awesome staff too!

  • RexRaf

Went for a company event. No complaints! Good drinks, good food, fun bowling. Would recommend. Keep in mind the bowling alleys are not regulation, they are smaller and use string tethered pins.

  • Diego Bartolomé

Nice bar to have drinks and food while you are blowing. I was there for a work reception and all was ok in terms of food, quality, quantity, variety of drinks. Many thanks!

  • Sean McHugh

Great place for cocktails, skee ball and bowling! They have 3 Lanes for bowling. Good food, lots of televisions, a real cool venue with friendly service all around!!

  • Marcus Celes

Went there for a private event (~60 people) and it was awesome. Service was great, everyone got in some bowling and played all other games. Super fun.

  • Barry Paiga

Fun place on the city. The downstairs bowling lanes and private area are great. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Great for private parties.

  • Ray Traina

This is the best place to enjoy drinks and casual bites with friends in the area. Great variety of fancy cocktails, bowling and boardgames!

  • Andrew Maxwell

Hidden gem with a good selection of drinks and appetizers with a small bowling alley. Only con is that it is in a sketchy part of SF.

  • Matthew McCord

Justin the bartender took great care of of us! Highly recommend. Fun venue for every occasion.

  • Santiago Rodriguez
