Linden Room is not to be missed by the adventurous cocktail lover. Incredible, creative drinks in an atmosphere that makes you feel like you know an SF secret you should keep. Oops... Sorry.. I had to tell.
I found this place seeking the the best Negroni in the city and they did not disappoint. The Negroni I got tasted like the best candy in cocktail form that I could imagine (adult candy, that is). The cocktail menu is 100% creative and unusual. Tonight I got a martini with tomato vermouth and olive bitters. My partner once got a cocktail that had a literal blossom of cannabis as garnish. Watch the bartenders; they pay such close attention to detail making every drink. Great for a classy date, not great for anything more than a one on one. The place is TINY and groups more than four are strictly not allowed. You will not sit -- standing room only. When it's busy you might get turned away; but even on a Saturday night, it ebbs and flows, so just try back in a half hour. Soooooo worth it. Certainly one of my top bars in the city for vibe, drinks, and service. 10/10!

Had to edit earlier review. Two very bad cocktails. Ralphie Boy and Golden Goose. Avoid those.

Intimate speakeasy to go to enjoy pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap. Creative cocktails are well balanced. Be prepared to stand and enjoy your cocktail as there are no seating options. Most everyone there was with just one other person but there were a couple groups. I would suggest going with one person to share in convo and a cocktail.
Came in with 5 people as two Seperate groups, we were okay sitting separate. One of the bartenders started making snarky comments as soon as we tried to order and it was obvious we were acquaintances. He repeatedly made these comments while we sat there starting at him. Made for a very hostile environment and not somewhere I am going to pay $30 for a cocktail.

Teeny tiny space - which could be really fun but for some reason fell flat. We were 4 people and we all ordered a drink and they all felt imbalanced and just not that exciting. A shame as I think this could be a really cool concept.

I hate to be drawing attention to this place because I want to keep it a secret but one of the best speakeasy experiences I have had. Small area, cozy spaces to seat 8 people. First come first serve, no reservations. The cocktails are phenomenal! The bartenders know their stuff. The drink menu’s unique & of quality ingredients. Great intimate spot to start off your night. Ralphie boy & This Thyme are my favorite. Cheers!
Love the Linden Room, have been many times. They have amazing cocktails, but you have to be prepared to pay for it. I do have to say the service is hit or miss. Often they are welcoming but the last time I was there, a male bartender was rude to everyone that walked in and trash talked guests after they left. The space is tiny so you can hear everything he is saying. Not a great vibe to create, was disappointing and icky.

This has been on my list for so long and finally made it in. The space is small but that makes it such a cozy spot for a drink. Even crowded it feels like you are drinking with friends in a living room. The cocktails are great and the bartenders are so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent spot to get a top level cocktail. Small intimate bar with only a few seats, so get there early. But well worth the wait if you show up later. I had two of their signature cocktails and they did not disappoint. They are also connected to a fancy restaurant, but I didn’t try them out.

Beware: if you order a cocktail infused with oyster, it WILL taste like oyster.

Wow! Sometimes it’s busy, but when you can find a quieter time and a seat at the bar, it’s a magical experience. No matter when you come (chill or busy), the cocktails are exceptional and the service is thoughtful. Really stellar and creative menu ?
