Well I think it's the best Irish bar in San Francisco because it has the friendliest bartenders in the whole city. They're chatty and jokey and a regular joy.
The bar has something like 20 beers on tap and the requisite Bass and Guiness are available. Order a pint and some garlic mushrooms and you'll feel the trip was worth it.
If you're in to games or trivia, the Chieftain gets busy and boisterous for both of those things. (Tuesdays for trivia if you're into that.)
They also have a fantastic happy hour but really, what more do you need now that you know they have great beer and super friendly staff?
