Hidden gem in Soma. The crowd differs day to day and the drinks may take an extra 10 mins but its worth it.
Jessica TroccoliOctober 20, 2018
Super cool place. Great drinks, fun bartenders and delicious sushi from the place upstairs. You can sit at the bar to eat.
Ray HartjenApril 30, 2015
Nice happy hour crowd and vibe. The John Colins is a refreshing, light whiskey cocktail. Definitely try one.
Brian BeckerleAugust 15, 2018
Solid cocktails and usually less crowded then other bars in FiDi, plus you can get sushi.
Auburn SantoJune 20, 2015
Long bar with house cocktails if you're looking to chill. Side room with DJ if you're looking to turn up. Win-win.

If you want a post work drink with a post work crowd this is the place. Beware the sloped bar or you'll lose a drink.

This place is easy to miss because it is locate in an alley. Art deco makes this place super cool to me (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

One of my favorite bars in SF. Usually good music on Fridays. Need a better bathroom line.

There are places to sit and you can order sushi, there’s a photo booth... the drinks are watered down and awful. Even the beer tastes watered down.. why?!?

This place is basically a Hollister store with alcohol.
Matthew AmadeaJune 3, 2019
Drinks are overpriced, sketchy bartenders, this place isn't what it used to be.

Free drink tonight if you download the Swoon dating app!

Checked out NeoSoul Mondays. Pretty decent music, but they need to draw a bigger crowd somehow.

Do not get the habanero infused tequila unless you want a hole in your esophagus

I'm not feeling the bottle service. ..it's clearly not worth it. I get it was a cheaper in Atlanta. They have lost their minds

Beat mojito in the city. Ask for a bloody mary and they may, justifiably, laugh at you.
