This is a cozy bar with great vibes and drinks. The menu has enough options for bites, drinks, even a delicious dessert! The drinks are very unique and balanced.Shannon(the bartender helped us with all our questions and was very attentive. I would recommend coming here with a reservation(or even come before/after fiorella).

Very tasty food and drink. However, the experience was ruined by lack of air conditioning and fans. It was one of those rare SF days when the temps were in the mid 70s and it was unbearably hot in the bar. The bartenders and all patrons were sweating like crazy and there was only one tiny fan. Please get air conditioning or at least fans to keep the staff and guests comfortable when it gets hot!

While I do like the idea of this "secret" bar, the timing of the reservation system was confusing. I couldn't tell if they messed up our reservation or if the communication is always that way. They did send a free app to make up for it though.Drinks and bites were good! Appreciate their non-alcoholic options, but wish there was more variety considering they have such a selection of other craft cocktails. The space is very tiny and can heat up very fast!

We had to wait 15+ min to be seated even though we had a reservation, but the staff is friendly and drinks were good!

I enjoyed the bar Nonnina experience. Great "secret" little bar where you can get craft cocktails and appetizers. Drink flight was nice and the appetizers were very tasty. Service was good, we were served 4 cocktails, 3 apps and were able to leave in 45min. Only negative was that it got warm in the small room once it filled up. Advice is to go here before a nice dinner to get boozed up and have a bite. Will be back again.

This place felt like it was trying really hard to be something cool but didn’t quite get there. It is a tiny, dark (I could not see the menu) space with expensive drinks above a very good restaurant. The Martini Alta tasted like straight vodka and was just teetering on drinkable for me. The food - arancini, croquettes, focaccia - was excellent, but for that, just hit up the associated restaurant Fiorella.

Beware , deposit is non refundable. No cancellation. We have a conflict and now are stuck with reservations.

Small and cozy craft cocktail bar in the Inner Sunset. It only fits 10 seated and 5 people standing at the bar - so make sure to do a reservation. The cocktail menu changes periodically too.

We had a private event, half night buyout. It was the best! So easy and top notch service. They took care of everything.

My small group loved this spot! It's a little room with two tables and seating for maybe ten folks. We were the only ones there early one weeknight, and enjoyed visiting with the the enthusiastic bartender. Cocktail-wise, we especially liked the Galileo's Gaze, a delightful take on a negroni with strawberry infused gin, and bianco vermouth. Yum. The little welcome drink (? not sure what it was) was also tasty, and we very much appreciated the complementary taste of fig grappa as well. Food-wise, we liked the trout rilletes best, but the other dishes we had were also yummy (mozzarella/brown butter/anchovy bread and the potato croquettes).We'll definitely return!

What a fun surprise: a hidden speakeasy tucked away above a restaurant in the Inner Sunset! Things started off great. We were greeted with a welcome cocktail, which was a nice little treat. Our group of 3 was led through the restaurant, up a stairwell and into a small, hidden bar area. Tiny, but beautiful. I ordered the cocktail flight, and my friends tried to as well but were told they couldn't because the other group next to us had and there weren't enough glasses in the bar....ok.... Drink change: they ordered the Wild Pony and South of Heaven and we also ordered a few appetizers. Everything we ordered was delicious, but we only stayed for one round of drinks because we quickly realized that the bartender that we were trapped inside this tiny room with was incredibly rude. It ruined the whole experience. Snapping at the server and rude comments at every interaction with us. It was uncomfortable and we couldn't leave fast enough. No, thanks.

creative, delicate balance of flavor factors in each drink. would rec the 3-drink flight to sample you way through the rotating menu. Galileo's Gaze was subtle. The Shadow was complex and a favorite.

Absolutely loved this spot. This speakeasy is super small but the ambiance and drinks are amazing. Ambiance is really cool/interesting in that there's only 2 tables and you can easily talk to the bartender about your drinks. The bartender was really chill and whipped up some insane cocktails. My favorite was the l'ombra which was chocolate yet refreshing at the same time. It was such an interesting flavor profile that was overall so smooth.We also had the scorpionno which was more of a desert drink. It had aperol spritz sorbet floating on top of the drink. The hostess at the restaurant downstairs also gave us a drink to sip on while we wait, which was really nice and inviting.

Amazing spot. WillBe back.

Drinks were good but it was a weird atmosphere that felt unwelcoming. The total cost was not worth the experience.
