Perfect for pre or post dinner. They have expanded their food menu so could even be a great spot for dinner.

great bartender(s) and great service. We had a group of 6 and when the drinks were dropped off we accidently (not them but us) spilled half of one of the drinks. They immediately came back with an entire drink on the house. Great customer service.

Nice decor, but surcharges are plain bad practice.

The word 'Speakeasy' is oft used by reviewers. Ignore these reviews because they are por judges of character. This is not a Speakeasy. It does not have a 'speakeasy' location, vibe, or decor. What it is: a beautiful & creative space with excellent service and creative cocktails.

This was easily one of the best bars I visited in San Francisco. The service felt high-end, almost white glove, and every detail was on point. I had a duck fat washed Old Fashioned, and it was one of the smoothest, most memorable drinks I’ve had in a long time. The space was quiet and intimate, yet still spacious and comfortable. Everything about the experience was excellent.

The drinks were fantastic and the bartender was very helpful in finding recommendations for their whisky/scotch collection. We went early in the night so it wasn't crowded and fairly quiet.

20% mandatory service fee plus 5% surcharge? What a joke. Never come back sorry.

The place is great but getting a reservation there is definitely not needed before 8pm. I got a reservation and they placed me right next to another couple (keep in mind the entire place was empty. I think overall I would recommend prioritizing a reservation at china live and then go get drinks later.

Cool place to hang out after getting some dim sum in China Live.
Cold Drinks Bar instantly won me over with its speakeasy vibe and warm hospitality. The bartenders are true artists—my cocktail was as beautiful as it was delicious—and they took the time to chat and make sure everything was perfect. The cozy setting, dim lighting, and upbeat playlist created the ideal backdrop for catching up with friends. Every sip felt like a small celebration, and I can’t wait to return for another round.

The bartender la that helped us were amazing. It looked like they were short staffed because on top of making the drinks, they had to seat/host us, and help the entire floor by themselves. Management needs to set them up for success better.

Some very weird but fun cocktails on the menu and delicious wine choices.
