Servers were cold and incredibly slow. Was very annoying having to try so hard to flag down the servers so we could close out and leave. We had the akama and the flapple - experimental and interesting but not tasty at all. $25 for the akama and $18 for the flapple. Would not go back and found it incredibly overrated and expensive. Servers also stand over you, disconcertingly closely, while you make the tip selection - super unprofessional and tacky in my opinion.
Two stars rather than one because the drinks themselves were visually beautiful and the decor is great.

good drinks, but no standouts or anything i would come back for, sadly.
also, in their menu they go on about their “exceptional service.” in my opinion it was weird, stilted, and uncalculated. not what you’re looking for in a nice bar with expensive drinks. not sure i’ll be back as the vibe / atmosphere / service all just weren’t there.
this feels like the kind of place that closes within the next year

Very swanky cocktail bar with inventive and tasty drinks. They also serve sake and wine. We got the fried chicken which was quite a big portion and after splitting that with my friend I was full. Definitely recommend!

Feels like a hole in the wall cocktail bar, super cozy on the inside. Definitely recommend getting Pear Pressure, it’s fragrant and refreshing. The Linda Linda is spirit forward but also delicious.
A great place to stop before dinner

Amazing cocktails! Need to go back to try them all. The service was also top notch!

Nice place only. Made a delicious custom cocktail for my wife’s boyfriend because he doesn’t like gin.
Imagine only having a QR code menu in a restaurant where you don’t get cell service and then getting attitude from the server when you ask for WiFi or a physical menu. Annoyed, yep that’s the experience at Bar Iris.

Lovely ambiance and delicious cocktails. A bit expensive, but most cocktails in SF are anyway… Great for a date night or an evening out with friends!

Went last year with a small group, it was an odd experience. The staff and spot was wonderful! The drinks however were a bit disappointing? We all wanted to try as many cocktails as possible.. and no one loved one, they were all ok, and some not great (seaweed & tonic was the worst.)
The thing we all remembered as delicious was actually the food we shared, including the chicken karaage which was delicious.
Props to the people working there , they were really nice ? but otherwise, not sure it’s worth coming back .

This place was just amazing. Everything. The cocktails are made of magic. The food hands down some of the best in san Francisco that I had. I honestly can't wait to go back.

A very chic bar with incredibly classy craft cocktails and delicious small plates coming out of the chicken from next-door Nisae. The perfect place to for a date night or to take a visiting friend.
