A veritable temple of whiskey on Kearny Street, this post work spot has an encyclopedic cocktail list , punch bowl offerings and an upstairs area just waiting for you to take it over for the evening. Read more
The drink menu is twenty-eight pages long and takes you through every category of classic cocktail , from a Daisy (the precursor to a daiquiri or Cosmo ) to a Martinez. Read more
One of San Francisco’s premier whisk(e)y bars . Yes they have awesome cocktails like the Laphroaig Project(invented here),but I feel it’s best to get lost in their voluminous whisk(e)y selection.
The Brooklyn Cocktail they do here is amazing. So is Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 year, if you're down for the $20+ glass kind of thing.
Mmmm. Delicious cocktails ! And there's a sneaky cut through to Pagan Idol from the downstairs kitchen. For employees only, or the daring and super wasted. (Whispers: "do it!")
The perfect blend of urban chic meets 'Pirates of the Caribbean' (but in a GOOD way)! Delicious drinks, awesome selection, and will definitely be back!!

My favourite cocktail bar in the city ! Beautiful, cozy interior , knowledgeable staff , hidden back room, basement and balcony , and the best cocktails !
By far the best thing you can do at this cramped bar is to trust your bartender to make a custom cocktail tailored to you. Start with a flavor profile or a fave spirit and let em do the rest
Russell Davis' spot (of Bar Rescue fame). Grab a drink, head to the back and up the stairs for a more quiet experience. Gets packed and a bit sloppy on weekends.
A place with a modern take on classic libations, and a clientele that's a raucous mix of office workers letting loose and mixology aficionados. Try the Sazerac with locally distilled Old Potrero Rye . Read more
GREAT cocktails . GREAT beer selection . GREAT variety (something for every taste). Bartenders are very friendly people. A great happy hour spot .
Nice change from your typical quiet , stuffy craft cocktail bar. Energetic, fun bartenders and rock music pumped through the speakers.
Has a speakeasy kinda dim lit ambience. Loved the mezcal cocktail .
They have Laphraoig Quarter Cask here! ???? If you're not in a whiskey state of mind, La Bonne Vie is gin-based and delicious.
Avoid like the plague during weekday happy hour - too crowded with FiDi bros. Otherwise, expertly crafted cocktails and a fantastic whiskey selection . Nice atmosphere, too!
Despite its appearances, this bar attracts amateurs and women looking for husbands and vodka . You'll see lots of unfashionable, bent-brimmed Giants hats and much flipping of hair. Also, too much wood.
Laphroiag Project. Hands down. Every time. Love my spirits neat / untouched, but this concoction takes the cake .
If you love gin , you'll love Rickhouse. Genever, London Dry and Old Tom, they've got it all. La Bonne Vie , the Casino Royale, the Martinez and the Dutch Honey should sate your appetite.
Great Old Fashioned ! Try with Noah's Mill or Rowans Creek. If you get the opportunity check out downstairs, the staff was awesome.
Absolutely love the La Bonne Vie with Gin .(Gin or Vodka , Fresh Lemon & Grapefruit Juice , fresh basil and bitters )
Kentucky Buck , Winter Whiskey Smash and Old fashioned are great!!!
1920's theme with a speak easy vibe. Be prepared for strong drinks and a hidden atmosphere.
Come early. Tell the bartender what you like. Don't be squeamish about egg in a drink. Let them work magic.
Between the quality cocktails and punch bowls designed for sharing, or the wood and exposed brick interior and dim, sexy lighting - think modern-day saloon - we're fans.
This is just a classic example of high quality classic cocktails done right by people that know their business. Great stop.
Place yourself in the capable hands of bar professionals. There's a reason this place wins every award! PS. Try to remember your hotels name and address. The cocktails here are strong & delicious!
They have Oola Waitsburg Bourbon (Seattle.) Great on the rocks.
Check out Rickhouse as it was featured on Best Bars in America for One of the best whiskey bars and also make a great punch Read more
La Bonnie vie cocktail with gin , fresh lemon and grapefruit juice , basil and bitters is outstanding and a must try here!
Get "A Bone Apart " or the "Rusty Development" - solid drinks. They also have a sour beer ????
great cocktails that are strong and tasty! try La Bonne Vie or the Fort Point (both citrus-y)
Love the drinks, really love the cabin interior, don't love the downtown crowd as much.
This is THE place for whiskey and whisky downtown SF. The selection is fenomenal and you're guaranteed to find a new favorite.
“Rickhouse” references buildings that store aging bourbon . In keeping, the place is constructed from salvaged wood that has served as a barrel stave in Kentucky. Read more
Cool ambience with fancy cocktails . Pricy but they put a lot of effort into mixing their cocktails
very cool place, great drinks, crowded but relaxed atmosphere , what else you need?
Got a really good drink there but they dont have a clear menu for whiskey or whiskey cocktails
best cocktails in SF, if you don't include sister bar bourbon & branch. vieux carre is my personal favorite. punch bowls great for large groups if you are lucky enough to find seating.
Cool beer place, bouncer speaks perfect italian :)
One of the best bars in San Francisco. They have a wide menu gor whiskeys
Very cool vibe. Upstairs lookout is a nice spot with waiters to save you the long wait at a bar .
Great atmosphere. Great beer . Sold two of my favorite IPAs (Green Flash and Sculpin) so I was indeed happy !
Brilliant interior with great gin-based drinks. Music could use some serious work.
Grab your friends and order a punch bowl ! Remember there is a downstairs!
Very good classics - old fashioned is very good. Sazerac is good but not awesome
Artisanal cocktails , same owners as Bourbon and Branch. Excellent cocktails , wood panelled , classy .
Designated driver for the night? Order a ginger ale . They make it with fresh ginger and it's incredible.
La Bon Vie, Kentucky Buck , and Tom Collin 's. You just have to.
Best cocktails in town . Nice crowd!
Eggs Benny, the Bacon, the coffee, the mimosas and the Huevos Rancheros bowl. So good. - Q Manning
Super busy on weekends, more accessible during late nights and weekdays. Cocktails are imaginative and bartenders are super knowledgeable. Kitchen is open late with always delicious food. - Fai Visuthicho
Great bartenders, great drinks, and super fun vibe! Can get a little crowded so get there early if you can!! It''s pricey, $30 for a shot of scotch - 18 year I think, but otherwise good ambiance. - Jenn
The salads are awesome! They have a big menu of draft beers that we East Coasters rarely get to have. - Kelly Morgan
Everything below is bang on the Mac and Cheese. Great place to chill. - Brian Shaler
Delicious tiki cocktails, all out tiki decor and plenty of seating. What's not to love? - Marissa C
