    Fantastically crafted cocktails, low seating is very cozy and hip. Make sure you dress up otherwise you'll feel out of place. Great ambiance, my second favorite bar in SF.

    Be sure to check out the (huge) grandfather clock just outside the door... and be sure to read the history signs in the lobby - you'll quickly realize just how much "time" has gone by at this hotel.

    Located in the Westin, this place mixes up some great cocktails with fresh ingredients. A great place to unwind after a full day of meetings.

    Bartenders are really good. You'll have your 1st cocktail and say that was the best and order another...heard that every time. Cheers!!!

    The St. Francis claims to be the birthplace of the olive-garnished martini. Restaurateur Michael Mina's bar serves this drink, called the St. Francis Cocktail, as well as other classics.

    Bartender knew how to make a basic vodka martini. So simple, but so good. Makes this place a must visit.

    'Lost in Fog' cocktail- really good! (there's a story behind this drink and has everything to do with a horse by that name escaping Golden Gate Fields and running across GG bridge. Born to be free!!!)

    Sporting 20-plus cocktails, with a definite bias towards gin-based classics, slide up to the swank bar for a deftly made aviation and watch the scene. Read more

    Scottish mule is definitely delicious--but seasonal drink "Flip to Nuts" was amazing! Delicate pecan flavor with milkshake consistency.

    I had the traditional St Francis Martini when I should have tried lost in the fog. Maybe I'm too traditional.

    Awesome spot for drinks. Getting a taxi at 2 a.m. can be tricky...so plan accordingly.

    I was surprised. Not the nicest bar staff in the city at all. I wonder if a hotel bar would better fit the space.

    Pretty solid Old Fashioned but about as generic as you'd expect for a hotel cocktail bar.

    I love the trendy ambiance and the Union Square location but unfortunately the cocktails are not worth the hefty price tag.
