Tasting Table

Chef David Bazirgan really brings the goods with an extensive food menu covering the gamut from steamed lamb belly buns and crazy-addictive chicken wings to béarnaise-topped aged rib eye . Read more

PureWow

The oversized fire pit at this swanky bar in the Hotel Zelos will keep you warm as you sample a flight of bourbon . It’s no wonder this is one of the city ’s best rooftop bars . Read more

SFist

This spot is perfect for birthdays, after-work cocktails , or just an easy refuge from the chaos of Union Square. A terrific and lengthy cocktail list is complemented by ultra classy bar bites . Read more

Rajat

Expensive but worth it if you can sit on the patio on a nice summer day. Bring your corporate events here for a sure good time. Make reservations if you can -- space fills quickly!

Connie Chiu

The bone marrow and lamb mint pea bamboo risotto are amazing. The bone marrow was huge, deep, and fatty, topped with this sweet short rib that was generous. Drool worthy 🤤

David Nelson

For something new and amazing, ask the sommelier (and proprietor) for 'unusual wines '. He lives for these and is proud to help others discover something not the norm.

SFist

Enjoy the nice weather this weekend with a cool outdoor dining experience worthy of your time. Don't miss the awesome sweet and spicy chicken wings , or the beef tartare . Read more

This Black Friday, shake off your turkey coma and stop by for drink specials and $3 snacks . Dirty Habit has the booze you need to get through Black Friday unscathed. Read more

A hidden gem only around the corner from where I work. It can get crowded for happy hour . You feel like you are in a lounge in NYC. There's also an outdoor patio !

Will Bertelsen

Sit outside on the patio and order the Barrel Aged Island Old Fashioned. It's a savory rum cocktail that's very well balanced. This place is still definitely a hotel bar though.

Sherry Li

Lovely decor, nice outdoor patio , great cocktails . And oh, they have a glass wall of whiskeys and bourbons .

Tagel Shaked Zinger

Stylish place , good atmosphere, a lot of cocktails to choose from. The challa and the grilled corn are great!

Hanoi Morillo

Great patio , drinks and food. The lamb buns and the tomato salad are my favorites. For drinks, the honey bee, banana daikiri and the old fashioned.

Elias Biz

Trendy . Good place to impress. Try the Gold Rush: Bourbon whiskey , lemon , honey .

An Sheng

Pricey but great cocktails and food, good spot for corporate events and drinks

Chris Messina

The Old Fashioned relies on a nontraditional Old Fashioned
 spirit (Banks 5 Island Rum ), swirled with velvet Falernum, allspice 
dram and angostura bitters .

Frederique D

Rooftop patio . Yummy cocktails and small plates . Order the strawberry-filled churros for dessert and thank me later.

David R

Great outdoor patio (but no view ). Upscale bar with prices to match. Good for dinner or after work drinks.

John Bobeldyk

Have a cold-pressed Coffee Break cocktail with a bread pudding dessert all to yourself.

Katie Mui

They have a pretty cool outside patio with heat lamps . Good for big groups.

Jonathan Strauss

Food and drink are solid, but ambiance and service feel like a second rate hotel bar . Definitely a downgrade IMHO from the classic that was the Fifth Floor Bar .

jcII

You’ll get a workout moving the chairs at the bar while you receive excellent service from the bartenders .

Go Find Alice

Gorgeous outdoor seating ! Make reservations ! Super popular spot in union square

Get the barrel aged old fashioned. Seriously the tastiest in the game 👉 it will NEVER disappoint.

Jennifer Yip

on the 5th floor of the Paloma's hotel , this feels like a wannabe New York rooftop bar . skip the food but try the drinks!

Chuck Reynolds

Great roof deck , blocked in so wind isn't a problem. Staff was personable & attentive. will be back.

Shawn Cheng

Great for 30+ crowd. Light music ,comfortable sofas and fire.

Beef tartare is delicious

Buns are just ok - little gamey with the lamb vs pork belly & bun is so so. Go for the mezcal drinks. Outdoor area is A++

Miguel Lozano

Nice place to have a drink before going out, really good cocktails !

Dapper Diner

Keep it classy with a little trashy and order the off the menu Red Bull and Sherry .

Jennifer Burlington

The Mole Mole Mole was awesome! A lil spicy , like I like it.

Rory Parness

Order a bunch of appetizers and sit out on the deck

Bre Lambert

Skip this one! Sexy space w/ unique cocktails , but drinks are overpriced & staff is arrogant & disrespectful. Not worth it compared to all the other options in the city . Head to Bluestem instead.

Try the Lovable Trixster! Anda is awesome and gives great recs!!

Low-key spot for a good drink right off Market .
