This bar is on the small so be here early if you want a spot. But the service is great. The cocktails they made were great and varied.
absolutely love this place. if you are in the area for a good cocktail, this is the place to come. i got a custom mezcal espresso martini and my friends got the 2 ‘spicy’ ones (i forget their names). all were fantastic. dry small space so gets crowded fast but go at midnight and you won’t have to wait. great drinks, great service, great atmosphere. must go.
This has been on my list for so long and finally made it in. The space is small but that makes it such a cozy spot for a drink. Even crowded it feels like you are drinking with friends in a living room. The cocktails are great and the bartenders are so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!
Outstanding cocktail bar with skilled mixologists. A true hidden San Francisco gem. The cocktails are well balanced, distinctive and include components devised by the chef at the adjoining Nightbird restaurant. For those with discriminating tastes and a mindful palette.
I hate to be drawing attention to this place because I want to keep it a secret but one of the best speakeasy experiences I have had. Small area, cozy spaces to seat 8 people. First come first serve, no reservations. The cocktails are phenomenal! The bartenders know their stuff. The drink menu’s unique & of quality ingredients. Great intimate spot to start off your night. Ralphie boy & This Thyme are my favorite. Cheers!
Excellent spot to get a top level cocktail. Small intimate bar with only a few seats, so get there early. But well worth the wait if you show up later. I had two of their signature cocktails and they did not disappoint. They are also connected to a fancy restaurant, but I didn’t try them out.
Loved this little speakeasy style bar! A small bar (6ish seats) behind a red door on a side alley, if you make the mistake of walking through the curtain there, you end up in a restaurant. The drinks were AWESOME. Very different, but super delicious. I truly loved the mezcal pear drink that they made. High end spirits/liquors, with high end mixings/flavors leading to fantastic drinks. Definitely stop in here!
Hands down best cocktail bar in SF. Every drink was delicious, balanced, and strong. Seats are first come first serve with only 8 chairs but it moves quick. Also you can stand to wait. Spacious enough to wait but I never mind standing for a well worth it drink. Shout out to Jamie and Sarah for the hospitality and great drinks. Favorites are the Ralphie Boy the merengue was tasty and La Chicha well balanced with tequila tad sweet and good sour kick. Will be back!
