nice vibe and nice spot. doesnt feel inviting initially cause there is no standing room but if you get a table its nice to hang out here. if your prefer a pub vibe this isnt it. if you like an elegant vibe this is close to that. good date night if you get one of the two sweaters cause it isnt too loud or too quiet. good beers on drought and good selection of cocktails and wines. service is iffy, but if youre a patient person you wont mind. overall not bad. I go here often when I need to pee and I am at empire. chug a beer, and use the bathroom.

My favourite bar in the city. Incredible cocktails with inspired and surprising flavors and great seasonal offerings means that you will always have something delicious and curious to try! Amazing curated beer selection also and great scratch-made food. I love everything on their menu: the burger, the house chips, scotch egg, the wings, the pickles, the olives, the pate, the fries, the mussels etc etc all great! Check out the monday night classes too, super fun for a date night or solo adventure (just… dont plan anything important on tuesday morning!!)

Hands down the best place to go out in the upper Haight. Amazing cocktails, very good food and lovely interior and ambiance. They serve the best brownie with vanilla ice cream I have ever had.

Great cocktails. We appreciated that the seating was shielded from the road. Fries were crunchy and very satisfying. Would go again!

Stopped in on a whim. Cool spot. Mind boggling selection of spirits.
Nicely crafted cocktail. Pleasant staff.
Food was good though we only sample a few items.
Would definitely go back if in the area again.

A large menu with lots of fun out of the ordinary drinks. Recommend the Black Manhattan! Nice dim warm lighting inside and they play good music ᵕ̈

All drinks or food is ordered at the bar. No table service. Great looking bar with many liquor options. Could have been a bit more personable to the newcomer. Might be more of a “locals bar”.

Insisted a Rye Manhattan must come with a lemon twist… incorrect and unwavering.

Will return but selective in regards which bartender to order from.

Happy Birthday JS!

The food was awesome, we had the pork enchilada special. Service team seemed a little stressed but it was slammed so understanding. Great atmosphere before GD60!
