The cauliflower salad is so delicious and filling! It's heavy as a salad tbh because of all the cauliflower but that won't stop you from finishing that thing because it's DELICIOUS! Great cocktails

Eater

This address has housed a bar of some description since 1907, and it feels like it. Think classic cocktails , abundant antiques , some live jazz , and the dress code is, blessedly, Fedora optional.

AFAR Media

In a setting that preserves the saloon’s historic design and pays tribute to San Francisco’s Barbary Coast, you'll find classic cocktails and bar snacks like Hangtown Toast and Pigs in a Biscuit . Read more

I like this place better now that it’s not San Francisco Brewing Co. The food and cocktails here are outstanding and they have live jazz on the weekends.

Verne Ho

A great bar with amazing history and character. The cocktails are top notch and the live jazz is always a special treat. Good mix of seating styles depending on your mood. A north beach favorite!

Adrian Phillips

A diverse selection of cocktails . If you're not sure ask the bartender to make you something. Be sure to start with the kinds of liquors / drinks you like. Not much on tap , plenty of beers in cans.

Matt Lintott

Cocktails very tasty just sipping on a Happy Hour Vermouth and Whiskey Based Cocktail . Barman very knowledgeable very much worth the Visit ????????????????

Wilson Favre-Delerue

Get a cozy booth and sip on the proper cocktails the fine barmen and women of Comstock prepare. Pass on the food which is greasy and heavy, though the Spéculos marshmallow cookie is silly good.

Eli Hickox

Reservations are a must if you plan on eating. Cocktails are some of the best in the city . Live jazz every night.

PUNCH

Comstock was formerly a real saloon, and still has the pisser trough to prove it. More notably, it was one of the first SF bars to counter the fetishized cocktail movement with a laidback vibe. Read more

Tasting Table

Shot-and-a-beer, anyone? Get yours here from 4 to 7 p.m.; three combos include Four Roses bourbon and a short Anchor Steam , Pueblo Viejo tequila and a Tecate , and Bols Genever and a short Trumer Pils. Read more

Doug Zamensky

An ancient and iconic bar that knows how to make classic cocktails and they do it very well . PS: don't pee in the troughs, that haven't done that in years, I don't suggest starting it again :)

Vince Wong

Came on the recommendation of an SF native and was not disappointed. Laidback speakeasy vibes all around. Great place to catchup with friends over cocktails or to get your night started.

Rob W

Best cocktail bar in the city ! The Cherry Bounce was amazing, The Martinez will hit the spot & the Sazerac is legendary. Can't go wrong with anything on the cocktail menu !

Snag a seat at the bar , listen to live jazz , and try the Moonraker made with cognac , peach , and absinthe , or put fate into the hands of the mixologist with the Barkeep’s Whimsy.

Old fashioned drinks are served with “traditional” saloon fare like Fried Rabbit Toast or Beef Shank & Bone Marrow Pot Pie . Esquire Magazine listed Comstock in its 2011 list of Best Bars in America.

Becherovka Voyager

Low lighting , old school ceiling fans, and jazzy beats inspire images of an old school, steam punk world. Take a date to this charming SF favorite, and keep the Becherovka coming!

SFist

This high-end cocktail establishment has polished, Barbary Coast-inspired decor and a cool mezzanine overlooking the main room with an upright piano and room for a stand-up bass and a few others. Read more

Island Bruin

Ask the bartender to make you a cocktail off the menu - their choice. They will ask a few questions and then come up with a great drink.

Serious Eats

A destination for classic cocktails in North Beach .

Doug de Wet

The front room is a great place to watch the city pass by while imbibing first rate classic cocktails served by a charming bartender . The olives are darn tasty too.

Rochelle McCune

If you sit at the bar , look down. It's one of the few places in the city with a trough - back in the 49er days men just whipped it out & peed in in the trough, no pesky staggering to the loo!

Brodie Olmstead

Classic cocktails , friendly and knowledgeable staff . Wide selection of spirits . My go-to is a gin martini with extra olives .

Bill Hendrix

great bar , wonderful bartenders and prime location make this a must stop when we are in the area

Josef Richter

Very classical old school atmosphere. One of the best Old Fashioneds (fits here well ) I've ever had. And I've had lots of them.

Liz ????

Barkeep's whimsy! I asked for two gin drinks and they were fantastic! And don't miss Norton I above the bar !

Papa S

Great whiskey bar and bar food.

Esquire

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Stand at the bar . Look down. See the tiles? That's a trough, meant to be pissed in. This place is legit. So is the bamboo cocktail . Read more

shalzers McGee

Grab a pie from your fave N. Beach pizza spot to enjoy w/ your cocktails . Staff encourages outside food.

Chef Carlo Espinas calls his open-face tartines "toasts," which is more in keeping with the saloon's Barbary Coast vibe. Read more

Live jazz which makes this bar stand out in front of its peers.

Top quality poisons! The mixologist here hits it right on the head everytime. Excellent place to knock a couple back.

Graham Siegel

Well made cocktails and a generous happy hour . I really dig the space as well .

Matthew

There on a Sat night. The live jazz made my night. Well , that and the great cocktails and friendly service .

Brittany Custin

Best cocktails and bartenders ! Ask for John, he has interesting knowledge about the history of the bar and San Francisco.

Michael Lunøe

Cozy small bar . Nice drinks and oysters !

Brian L

Good strong cocktails but the food is excellent too. Burger with a side of Brussel sprouts , please.

Leah Yamshon

Loved the Pisco Punch and live music ! A little pricey , but that's to be expected with craft cocktail joints in SF.

Kris Vera-Phillips

Try the Fried Squash Blossoms - #kvpinmybelly : #Breakfast before work! Yummy, delicate petals with a savory batter. Also loved the mozzarella cheese on the side

Nicole Rocchio

The com stock burger is the best burger I’ve had in a long time

The Bold Italic

Good locally invented cocktails on the menu: Pisco Punch , The Martinez, Hop Toad (Jamaican rum , apricot brandy , lime , & bitters )

USA TODAY

This new bar in a century-old building recalls the wild Barbary Coast red-light district. The bar 's signature drink is the city 's famous Pisco Punch , made with South American brandy . Read more

Grant Marek

Pig and a Biscuit is awesome. Pot Pie is a must. And Barkeep's Whimsey is epic (you give them some direction, i.e. 'i like whiskey ' and they make you a whatever drink tickles their fancy ).

Andy Samwick

Boot and a beer baby!!!

Don No

If you pony up to the far end of the bar , be careful that you don't wack your knee on the protruding section. Mighty painful ????

Priya Saiprasad

The cocktails are so seductively good! Get the South Side Cocktail if you're in the mood for a sweet and refreshing drink

Sandra Cifo

Great for live music and cocktails but the food is overpriced for what it is. The hamburger for $15 is really awful, and cheaply done. I would come back for the cocktails .

David Smith

I love the atmosphere here and the drink selection is great. Get the pickle plate
