Love Lemon Drop! Came here after a long day at work and the bartender Brandon hooked it up with good drinks, music, and vibes. But the star of the show here is the food, there’s a hidden gem in the kitchen. The lemon pepper wings are the best I’ve ever had, and the burger is incredible. This place is an underrated Bay Area staple.

Tasty and strong cocktails. I came on an empty stomach and I’m 194 lbs and was buzzed of of one cocktail.

Loved the Shrimp and Chicken Tacos. The lamb was not bad. The shrimps was done perfectly and I loved the heat from the sauce.

The cocktails are also repeats. If you like a smoky misquote scented bitter cocktail balanced budget perfectly by citrus do try the kingsman. Their Lemon Drop is what you would expect.

Nice R&B & Hip Hop music plays in the background but still quite enough for good conversations. Great service too. for a Thu night the place was popping.

I Was Looking Forward To Going To This Venue For The First Time.
It Didn't Feel Inviting When I Walked In. I Sat At The Bar And Ordered A Lemon Drop. It Was Good But Pricey For The Small Glass Size.
I Ordered The Street Shrimp Tacos, And They Were Delicious. My Initial Server Was Very Friendly, Attentive And Energetic. But Once She Left My Experience Went Downhill. The Other Servers Were Not Attentive And Barely Checked In. I Had To Ask For More Water Several Times. I Left Disappointed. And Thinking Back I Should Have Left A Smaller Tip. It Was Not The Experience I Was Hoping For.

Here for the chill, groovy ambiance. Good for dates and small groups with tables, booths, and outdoor seats. Good menu variety of bar food - tuna tartare, popcorn chicken - they were pretty big, shareable for the table. Drinks are great - a dozen cocktails with gin, mezcal, rye, etc. Happy hour every day until 6 pm is a plus. Food discounts are better than the $3 off 3 select cocktails.

Drinks were nice. Double charged my card, when I came back to correct it the manager said there was nothing they could do. Nonsense.

Oh no, you can’t bring babies! But that’s okay, the daddy’s took them home. delicious, herbacious (herbaceous?) cocktails, yum yum. There was a Fireplace out front to keep us warm, when it went out there was another one! The cop guy no smoking sign is effective but a little creepy. Did you know before this place was a dive bar that was called ā€œlemon…somethingā€¦ā€ (we didn’t learn the actual name) okay that’s all, would return. Sorry that my photo is just of the empty drinks, I know it’s more helpful to have photos of when they’re full. You could have a great time here, cus we did.

Kid-friendliness: Oh no, you can’t bring babies!
