Excellent cocktails with inventive ingredient combinations! I particularly enjoyed the Leeward Negroni. The atmosphere is elevated but relaxed and we felt well taken care of. I’ll definitely be back!

Love this cocktail bar, unique and complex flavors in every drink. Even the choice of glass makes the drink special. I had to buy the Japanese hand blown gimlet glasses so I can replicate the luxury at home! I visit every time I am in the area. All staff are friendly and engaging , “T” is my favorite bartender, he knows his craft and is happy to share his mixologist knowledge. ❤️

Such a great vibe. So many cocktails to pick from. Friendly staff
If you're not on a budget, and enjoy unique cocktails, then this place is for you. Visiting from Seattle, this bar was recommended as a place to try in the downtown SF area. Going on a Tuesday evening, it was not busy at all. We stuck with the Whiskey section of the menu, trying the Tropical Gangsta, Kung Fu Panda and Thrilla in Manila. I'd say out of those three, the Thrilla in Manila was my favorite. If I go back to SF, I'll surely visit this place again.

My favorite bar in SF. Absolutely amazing cocktails and service. I came here several times. However. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because the music here is too loud. I usually came to chat with some friends and the music makes us hard to hear each other.

Stopped by on a Sunday night and it did not disappoint. The place was lively with great music and a fun crowd. The bartenders were friendly, the service was on point, and the drinks were creative and well-made. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for a high-energy cocktail bar with a great vibe.

This bar takes clear and deliberate inspiration from Southeast Asian flavors, offering an impressively extensive cocktail menu executed with consistently high quality. In fact, across multiple visits, I’ve yet to encounter a disappointing drink — a notable feat given the breadth of their signature offerings.
While certain ingredients like pandan and calamansi appear more than once, they’re never redundant. Each cocktail manages to express these elements in distinct and thoughtful ways, revealing the team’s ability to extract nuanced profiles from familiar ingredients.
Among the highlights: Jean-Claude Panda, a light-bodied yet balanced drink that harmonizes cold brew coffee with the base spirit. The use of Tonka bean as a garnish is a clever touch — a subtle nod to the cultural palette the bar draws from. The PCH Gimlet is another standout: deceptively simple in composition — gin, white tea, and calamansi-papaya cordial — but refined in execution. The citrus and tea notes shine through with clarity, and the drink’s structure is impressively clean and elegant.
It’s clear that each cocktail is carefully composed, with an attention to detail that rewards the patient and curious drinker.
The only drawback is the bar’s popularity: at peak hours, it can feel overcrowded, and the cocktail turnaround time may suffer as a result. Still, given the level of craft on display, the drinks remain well worth the wait.

This bar has an incredible vibe. We were lucky to have Luis as our bartender and he educated as as he dishes out some of the best drinks you’ve ever had! Vibe on point and a great addition to you night. Enough about my thoughts, just go!

A must if you visit SF and enjoy cocktails.
They have a long list of drinks and everyone would find one that they would enjoy. It gets crowded, but we were able to find seats a little late into the night.
Definitely a younger vibe, but not a crazy crowd.

This was our first stopping place of the night, and it was a great place to begin. We came shortly after they opened and were able to snag a section. They have both interior and exterior seating. The interior is well designed and doesn't make it feel small. They have a great selection of spirits and cocktail list. I had the Malty By Nature, which was a japanese single malt based and a little more on the spirit forward side, but tasty. My friend had their Thrilla in Manilla, and that had more of a refreshing taste. The staff here were friendly and attentive. I would come back here again to try more of their drinks.

Either flavor or punch. We tried 4 different drinks - I wouldn't recommend.
Sweet as hell. Specifically informed I want my drink to be less sweeter, it’s not helping. The drink itself is mediocre,too.
