RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL bouncer. It seems like he loves challenging/arguing with anyone he gets the chance with. Ruins the atmosphere making one feel UNSAFE and driving business away. Could not last more than 15 min in here without hearing him yell/argue with someone new coming in through that door. Do not spend your money here only to get disrespected or yelled at. Save your dignity and chose another bar where you will actually have fun and be treated with respect.

Security was very rude tonight he was getting too aggressive with people. I understand people can be rowdy but he was doing too much with the yelling and aggressive tone. Felt very unsafe not a vibe

Please please tell that one bouncer to STOP playing with the IDs... it is getting old. He holds up the line and drops multiple people's IDs on the floor and makes them pick it up. It is rude and unsanitary. Thanks.
Fun places great drinks good vibe

I genuinely love the mix for the light-hearted atmosphere and the wonderful staff, but as of recently, that hasn’t been the case. One of the taller staff members has an insufferable. He does a weird game throwing your ID/Passport/Driver’s license card in the air and very often it lands on the ground. Moreover, he lets people in based on vibes?? Just scan the card, and let people in “bro” (his is also his tag word). He’s obviously having a power trip as his first “real” job and doesn’t know how to behave. All of the other workers are absolutely lovely and I wish everyone interacted with them. In any other case. AVOID. STAY AWAY. If you like your dignity, this is NOT the place

They need to replace their front door security. Dude was on his rag yesterday. Got upset when I show him my ID for some odd reason. Also, their bathroom needs a complete renovation. It's horrifying disgusting and probably has every bacteria known/unknown to mankind in it
This is a favorite amongst so many that dwell within the Castro area. One of the most diverse areas that has no cover charge, amazing affordable drink options and the most understanding and caring staff. Marissa is a wonderful bartender, always paying close attention to detail to reamin relatable to her customers, not to gain more revenue from them, but to actually understand and give back to the community she loves. She is what caused me and my friends to continuously come back each time I came to visit San Francisco :)!

As soon as I walked in, there was no warm welcome. Instead, the bartender—a short-haired woman—was busy taking shots with some patrons. My group consisted of four people, including one visiting from out of the country. From the hostility in her voice, it was clear she was either intoxicated or, frankly, racist.
We showed our IDs, yet she questioned their legitimacy. One of us had gained some weight since their photo was taken, but that’s hardly unusual. She then denied us entry because one member of our group, who is from Japan, did not have her passport on hand—despite the fact that she had both her valid Japanese driver’s license and a photo of her passport. As we turned to collect our belongings from the table we thought we’d be sitting at, the bartender yelled at us that we couldn’t even be there.
My message to Latinos considering this place: don’t. If you’re brown, turn around. Find a bar that actually welcomes you.

Stopped in after dinner per recommendation from staff at a local restaurant we had dinner at! We are visiting her for less than 10 hours (layover) and The Mix was a perfect combination of GREAT drinks, local bar and great vibes!!! Bartenders were attentive and gave great pours, service was quick and seating was a plus!!!

Had my phone stolen at this bar apparently others have to. So keep an eye out while here. Spoke to the staff who didn't seem to care at all to except for one girl. I've heard of other places lookin at the cameras to help their customers but I doubt this bar even did when I asked I was told the manager would do so and reach out to me which they never did. Also they NEVER answer the phone when I've called. Keep an eye out here for a skinny white guy with a long nose and slightly curly light brown hair under the age of 30. I was told he is the one who stole my phone and may be a regular here.

nice bar, but be AWARE!!! Bartenders WILL attempt to overcharge non-locals, or anyone that's already drunk. I asked for three drinks of whatever the previous customer had ordered - they paid 20 for two drinks, when it was my turn the bartender jacked up the price of three drinks to $47. When confronted and asked how much each drink cost, he looked mad stupid and went back and forth till he claimed it was $12 a drink (not the original $10), and claimed it was a 'typo' finally charging me $33 (Not $36). Unsure If he was nervous caught in his bluff or simply terrible at basic math equations, either way it's a recurring theme as another customer later related of a similar experience. So, in summary, it's a decent set up (music shuts by 1 am) but is accompanied by deceitful staff taking advantage. Shame!
