Amazing views of the city. The drinks were outstanding and the food was unique and delicious. The service was also amazing. This is a must and we look forward to returning in the future.

What a fantastic rooftop bar with an (unexpected!) awesome view in a great location. Exceptional service from every staff member! Will definitely become a frequent place i will visit, and take my friends, colleagues, and clients.

The space is beautiful. We just had wine but the cocktails looked good. Wine is about $25 a glass, a bit overpriced IMO. The food was good. We had a couple of bites, deviled eggs and the pokey. The service was great! Overall, we were really impressed with the rooftop deck and dining spaces inside. I would go again. I have to mention one thing that brought the overall experience down a bit. There were three stalls in the ladies room. One was full of things (ladder for example) another one was clogged, clogged badly. So one restroom, not that big of a deal, but I was there for over two hours and no one tried to fix it or hung a sign on the door. This leads me to believe that no one checks the restrooms. I did look for a female staff member to inform. Surprisingly there were no women to be found so I told one of the guys. We left shortly after that, so I don't know if it ever got resolved. It's a shame. The place is beautiful, but the mess in the restroom left me and I'm sure others with an ick feeling.

We went here for cocktails. You couldn't ask for a better spot. Food is solid, but know it's “bites” and not really a dinner affair. Will 10000% be back

Really overpriced drinks Ambience is OK nothing special Furniture is old and dirty The security at the front was quite condescending There's nothing special about any of the food or snacks

Great space, great drinks, limited but well-executed menu and consistent, attentive service. Pricey.

For a trendy, romantic, or multipurpose night out, you can't go wrong with this rooftop view of SF. We did not try the food, although we did try the cocktails, which were great! But with privilege comes price and well sometimes one can balk at that but otherwise it was a worthy visit!

Lovely staff! Wish I could say the same for all of those dining or indulging in beverages.

We visited Charmaine's last night and really enjoyed the rooftop experience. The fire pit and city views created such a great atmosphere, and the weather made it perfect for a quiet night out. Our server, Enriquez, was fantastic—friendly and engaging with just the right amount of conversation. The food was delicious, though the portions were small and the menu a bit limited. The biggest drawback was the location. Being right by the Tenderloin made the walk around the area feel a little unsafe, and parking was very difficult to find. Unfortunately, the surroundings took away from the overall vibe of the restaurant. While I loved the rooftop itself, this might be a first and last visit.

Absolutely amazing location! Old Fashions were fantastic, snacks were great, views were breathtaking. Highly recommended for rooftop options in SF

Charmaine's is hands-down one of the best rooftop bars I've ever been to. The vibe is unbeatable – chic yet welcoming, with a lively energy that makes you want to stay all night. The views are absolutely stunning, giving you the perfect backdrop of the city whether you're catching the sunset or enjoying the night lights. The cocktails are crafted with real care – balanced, creative, and delicious. Every drink feels like a little experience on its own. The staff deserves special recognition too: attentive, friendly, and genuinely making sure you're having the best time possible without ever feeling rushed. It's the kind of place that works for everything: a fun night out with friends, a date spot with an unforgettable setting, or even just treating yourself to a well-deserved evening above the city. Charmaine's nails it on every level. Can't recommend it enough – 10/10, I'll definitely be coming back!

Great place. Fantastic views. Love the outdoor firepits on a chilly night. Great place to take visitors to the city. A bit pricy on some things but you're also paying for the views!

Samantha

Love this place! My bf and I grabbed drinks here to end the night of our 2 year and anniversary and it was lovely. 10/10 cocktails! Will be returning and bringing friends to chat as we sip cocktails w an amazing view of the city in front of a fire pit!
