Kozy Kar is a shrine to all things cool growing up in the '70s and early '80s. Born from owner Sam Young’s memories of watching customized conversion vans roll down Northern California highways as a kid, Kozy Kar brings those exact teenage fever dreams to life.
Think custom GMC vans built into private drinking booths, functioning CB radios, 8-track tape decks, waterbeds, chain link steering wheels, wall-to-wall shag carpet, mirrored ceilings, hot tubs, pinball machines, and vintage Playboys shellacked to the bar counters.
"It’s the shittiest of shit, but it’s exactly the type of bar I’d want to go to. There is pinball, punk music and shitty beer." — Sam Young, Owner
San Francisco's most talked-about anti-bar. Here is what the critics and city guides have been screaming since 2009.
"Three things you need to know about Kozy Kar: 1) you can drink in a waterbed, an empty Jacuzzi, or a tricked-out GMC van, 2) the TVs splice together vintage commercials with hardcore porn, and 3) you'll probably need to burn your clothes after going here. Kidding! You'll definitely need to burn them."
"Relive the glory days of Generation X at this retro, perverted bar that makes you uncomfortable in all the right ways. Kozy Kar is the bar version of that greasy, perpetually drunk uncle who refuses to be seen without his trusty pair of bell-bottoms."
"Waterbeds, stripper poles, and wallpaper consisting of pinups from the '70s screams make-out spot. Secure the prime waterbed truck in the back, have a few PBRs and shots of Fireball, roll over near your crush and make your move!"
"The anti-bar does no advertising, never holds special events, and patrons liken going to Kozy Kar to visiting their friend’s basement. It’s exactly the type of bar I’d want to go to. There is pinball, punk music and shitty beer."
"Unabashedly, endearingly trashy. Vintage Playboy centerfolds cover every surface—shellacked even to the dance floor. Sip a PBR while sitting on a waterbed covered in shag carpet with working CB radios inside hollowed-out air-brushed vans."
"If Scooby and Shaggy joined forces with Hugh Hefner to paint the town red, this is where they'd spend the night. Minibus-shaped booths, vintage porn pics over the dance floor, and arcade games."
