The Kozy Kar Turns One!
How we were able to survive Tom R's bad reviews and threats as well Fishbits X's bad reviews and his bold prediction is amazing but somehow we did it!
"I give it 6 months..and long term for this place will be a year. "

Fishbits X' - Yelp



"Pissing off a popular yelper like xxxx probably wasn't the smartest business decision you've ever made.”

 “Look me up on yelp, you don't what the kind of trouble a bad review from me could bring."

“This is the last time you'll hear from me directly...I'm going to start undermining you every way I can think of.”

“Have you ever heard the expression ‘ you just messed with the wrong person’?”

“Asshat,I strongly suggest you remove that review. Just so you know I'm from Bakersfield, if you are wondering how that's relevant you clearly haven't met anyone from there.”

SF Weekly Best of San Francisco 2010-Best Place to Get Drunk on a Waterbed
Theme bars aren't the most fail-safe entrepreneurial ventures, but if you're going to give one a try, covering your watering hole with titty shots is probably a smart bet. It's a wonder, then, that no reputable S.F. taverns had taken this approach until 2009, when Kozy Kar opened on Polk Street. If Scooby and Shaggy joined forces with Hugh Hefner to paint the town red, this is probably where they'd spend most of the night. The bar is decorated like the interior of a hotboxed 1970s pussy wagon, with minibus-shaped booths, fully accessible waterbeds, and vintage porn pics plastered over the dancefloor. Throw in the Missile Control arcade game in the corner, and you can see why Kozy Kar is a certain sensibility's approximation of heaven"

Everything That Was Important in 2009-Urban Daddy's Top Nine Bars of 2009
"Some eras are worth reliving, especially if centerfolds and waterbeds are involved.  Kudos to Kozy Kar for unabashedly embracing the '70s and early '80s by covering its floors and bars with vintage centerfolds, adding mirrored ceilings and, of course,  installing  a custom 1983 GMC in the heart of it all for inspiration."

CitySearch's Top Ten New Bars of 2009
"There's a reason there aren't too many theme bars in San Francisco, a city which takes great pride in its ratio of seedy dives to  square miles. Kozy Kar, however, may have found the perfect combination--a pervy, '70s-inspired dive decked out to make you feel like you're drinking inside a bona fide disco-swinger love van. With everything from shag-carpeted walls and waterbed-booths to working CB radios and a real, live ’83 GMC van, the commitment to reviving the best parts of Dazed and Confused is astounding. The theme extends to the booze on offer, as well, with a full lineup of canned PBR, Schlitz, Olympia and Hamm’s, and the kind of whiskeys that match a huge 'stache, an obsession with Led Zeppelin and, yes, a souped-up '70s van with a unicorn mural and a teardrop window."
