My favourite bar in the city. Incredible cocktails with inspired and surprising flavors and great seasonal offerings means that you will always have something delicious and curious to try!

★★★★ "Stopped in on a whim. Cool spot. Mind boggling selection of spirits.

★★★★ Mark Buckley 6 months ago

All drinks or food is ordered at the bar. No table service. Great looking bar with many liquor options. Could have been a bit more personable to the newcomer. Might be more of a “locals bar”.

★★★★★ Bianca Fredborg Madsen 3 months ago

Hands down the best place to go out in the upper Haight. Amazing cocktails, very good food and lovely interior and ambiance. They serve the best brownie with vanilla ice cream I have ever had.

★★★★★ "love the cocktails here. tried the ‘good soup’ cocktail which is inspired by tom yum soup and it was great!
