Really good cocktails with great flavors and a nice variety to choose from. The atmosphere was relaxed and perfect for enjoying a well-made drink.

An island of good cocktails in a sea of bad sugar syrups and cheap alcohol.
Loved the drinks.

A cute and cozy bar with a friendly bartender. I got the Escape, which is made with a rum blend, pineapple, whipped coconut clarified pina colada. The clarification improved the texture, enhanced the flavors, gave it a crystal clear look, and had a smoother and softer taste!

For the Record might just be the most underrated bar in the neighborhood. With so many lively places to go nearby it might be easy to pass over from the relatively unassuming exterior, but these are some of the best cocktails in San Francisco. Great atmosphere, excellent staff, unpretentious but still classy. This is the real deal.

If you’re in the neighbourhood and are looking for a comfortable place to enjoy some top notch cocktails you can’t go past For the Record. We stumbled across this place and were very impressed with their cocktail selection. Fin Barry was our bartender and made us feel welcome as soon as we entered. Cannot recommend enough!

Spoiler alert: We love For the Record. If you're reading this, just go there and try it!
We tried For the Record during our first romp of the Marina. As somewhat San Francisco newbies, we felt a bit out of place in the Marina amongst all the well-dressed and nicely groomed denizens, while we're more used to the ragtag, riffraff of our native Richmond.
Nonetheless, we immediately felt at home walking into the swanky vibes of For the Record. On our first visit we tried the Blackberry Beret and Lovely Day, as well as the Brandy You're a Fine Girl and Intimate Friends.
We loved all of the drinks but particularly loved the Intimate Friends, which had a nice herbaceous flavor with a nice punch from the absinthe rinse.
On our second time back, we tried the play on the Pina Colada (forgetting the name), and got another round of the Intimate Friends.
We didn't realize the cocktail menu changes seasonally, so we're looking forward to checking out the fall cocktails!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting For the Record, and their Thursday Vinyl Nights are an absolute must! The vinyl selections are a perfect mix of funk and disco, setting a groovy, upbeat vibe that keeps the energy just right.
The cocktails are expertly crafted and complement the rhythm of the night perfectly.

A little gem. Skilled and friendly people behind the bar, very good cocktails, cozy athmosphere, decent prices.
Victoria is a star and gracefully obliged to many off menu cocktail requests from a tipsy visitor!
Go early if you want to grab a table as it gets packed.

Awesome Marina/Union area cocktail bar. Thursday's is vinyl night with a good space for dancing. Retro almost speakeasy vibe. Old school record theme. 10 bar stools, 9 takes for small groups. Does all of the classic cocktails but has a menu with all original cocktails. Try the Superfly and the Intimate Friends!
Thursday night was awesome. Live DJ and amazing drinks. Cant wait to come
