Although the outside façade may look a little dated, the inside is truly magnificent in terms of the decor, lighting and conveniences special VIP in the back of the house and an underground champagne room really make this a favorite hotspot if you're in the neighborhood currently owning managed by a former bartender with years of experience of what the Public likesand needs

Has a lot of potential, but trying too hard to be a club rather than a neighborhood cocktail bar. Staff waving a flashlight to force a path through dancing people to clean the tables killed the vibe more than a few times. Friday night DJ was great and bartenders were nice. Drinks were mediocre especially for the price; would probably just get a beer next time.

I recently tried Dahlia Lounge for the first time before going to an event at Public Works around the corner. It’s honestly such a vibe with bold statement decor, unique cocktails, and a decently sized floor with lots of comfortable seating. Also, the music wasn’t too loud, so the environment was good for having conversations, which was ideal for my group.

Dance floor downstairs is fun! Drinks are also good

I love the DJs here. They always play good mash ups and good hits.

They think they are swankier than they actually are. Bouncer is kinda rude

Was there in August before going to a show at Public Works SF. Had a French 75 for the first time, it was fabulous! The employees were great and friendly! Definitely want to come back next time I'm in town!

We popped in for some drinks and music, and man, oh man, what an excellent choice. The dj was jamming the whole time we were there. He played a great variety of music. The staff was very attentive despite the crowd which was pleasing. Small, intimate, comfy establishment. Drink prices were very, very reasonable.

I recently took my Mom here for an early Mother's Day lunch. We sat outside with a beautiful view of the parade grounds. The weather turned on us while we were there and it got very cold on the porch but we were offered blankets and they also have heat lamps which the staff wasn't able to get to work. Overall we had a great experience with some caveats. Here are our pros and cons:PROS1) Gorgeous location with ample parking (not free / pay at pay stations)2) Housed in a beautiful historic Presidio building3) Very friendly and professional host and wait staff4) Very good, innovative and "elevated" mediterranean food - my Mom shared the Spring Tabouleh (buckwheat, asparagus, mushrooms) which was excellent and we each ordered a pasta dish (thick cut noodles with forest mushrooms and hand cut lamb dumplings) - both were excellent and very fun mediterranean twist on pastaCONS1) overpriced wine, with the "cheapest" glass of wine starting at $16. Our French sparkling wine was served in a wine glass, not a champagne glass which makes a difference if you serve a $20 / glass sparkling wine. The pour was very stingy, filling barely a fourth of the glass.

Interesting decor. Cocktails are well balanced and creative, but don't strike me as super complex
