This 16-year-old handcrafted cocktail pioneer hidden off of Broadway 
caters to an old-timey crowd (no TVs here), so it's no surprise their
 Old Fashioned stays close to the first recorded recipe.

SFist

A jukebox stronghold off an alley in North Beach , with good drinks and eats to boot, 15 Romolo gets props for its machine, which could potentially make your night for just $20. Read more

Need a chill spot for a drink after work? This 16-year-old handcrafted cocktail pioneer hidden off of Broadway 
caters to an old-timey crowd (no TVs here). Their Pimms cup is a neighborhood favorite. Read more

Grantland

Don't come close to closing. At 1:30 they'll tell you you can stay until you finish your drinks and at 1:40 they'll swing by and pour out your drinks because fuck you.

CITY GRIT

Hands down this is one of the best beverage lists in the country . The cocktails are impeccable (Imperial Suckerpunch, The Firebird, and the Knock Knock were our top picks).

Ashley Mowrey

It's all about the brunch . The hashbrowns are fantastic, like a gourmet McDonalds hash brown (don't lie and tell me you don't have a nostalgic taste for those) and the mushroom omelet is perfection.

Jared Roussel

Love the cocktails , love the look, enjoy the bartenders . Food has been off base. Fries are consistently over-salted & served with homemade but very runny ranch dressing . Would love to see this fixed.

WhiskyAvenger

This place is all about sherry . Though their cocktails are imaginative and run the gamut of all types of spirits ,the native Spanish drink is king here.

SFist

Scott Baird and Aaron Smith aren't fucking around with the drink menu, which features both adventurous concoctions and creative takes on classics. We recommend the Yellow Bicycle. Read more

Madison Kontio

Pimm's Cup is amazing... sketchy location (my mom thought we were going to get jumped or something before we got here). Bartenders are exceptional! 9/10 ????

Fai Visuthicho

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.

PUNCH

With a solid classic cocktail list as well as a number of playful riffs, 15 Romolo has established itself as one of the most consistent and enduring craft cocktail bars in San Francisco. Read more

Jamie

Cute cocktail bar . Also a good spot for brunch . Look for the Romolo street sign and walk up the hill to find this hidden spot .

Mauro

The ever-changing cocktail and brunch menu keeps things interesting.. If you're there for brunch , make sure you get the waffle shots ! Definitely one of SF's hidden gems .

Tammy Gordon

Loved so much about @15Romolo. Back alley ambiance, adorb hipster bartenders , insane cocktail list & killer locally sourced eats. My order: Troubled Waters, Tempura Avocado & Romolo Salad a pulledpork

Dapper Diner

Try the croque madame for brunch . Or get the bone marrow fritters and add them into a yo mama burger .

Greg Gioia

The jukebox promises 7 plays for $2, but have me only 5. Also, did you know that "jukebox " is the highest scoring word with which one can open a game of Scrabble ?

Daniel Stansell

Brunch . Waffle shots , great brunch cocktails and some seriously good food. Chicken + Waffles is the way!

Eater

15 Romolo is serving the best bar food in town (bar category, not restaurant-bar category). And of course, the drinks are among the city 's elite. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Amy B

Hidden gem in a bit so nice part of town . They will seat you which keeps the crowds down. Great service too.

Graham Siegel

Great cocktails . Don't be afraid to order food, too. You won't be disappointed!

Craig McGree

Great barmen & staff ! Go here and enjoy an evening of great drinks and service, you will not regret it!

Emma Gammello

This is my favorite bar in the city . The atmosphere is amazing and the bartenders are out of this world!

Evan Rachal

The cocktails are delicious, just ask your waitress or bartender to suprise you; the food is equally yummy, cheap by comparison to other places; get the tempura avocado or the burger dirty south style

Nader Farzan

A fantastic respite in an otherwise tumultuous stretch of Broadway. The food is as good as the delicious cocktails !

Subhadra

Great spot for brunch ! Love the chicken and CHURRO waffles plus the pork belly and egg .

Tucked in an alley behind Stripper Row, 15 Romolo is a quiet , nondescript speakeasy that serves light, local foods with strong, tasty cocktails .

Jennifer Slotnick

They have pitchers of Pimm's cup and Sangria for happy hour . We really liked the grilled octopus at dinner .

Pedro Lage Marques

Beer is good. Food is espetacular! Place is cool! I recommend!

Pavan Kulkarni

Beautiful hidden her. Almost has a speakeasy ambiance. Chicken wings and cocktails are pretty good

Max Blue ????????

Nice cocktail bar with knowledgable bartenders . Order a Last Word made with Fernet, you'll love it.

Kelsey Kotzebue

Great happy hour spot , delicious cocktails . Order the French fries , perfect for 2 and tasty!

Bradley Peppers

Very trendy and in an aly way that is hard to find. Drinks are creative and the liqour selection is way beyond amazing and extensive. The bartenders are friendly and you should have The Blue Moon Redu

TOMS

Gem of a bar – dark and classy – go on a bustling Friday or a quiet Monday to sip their signature drink Track 42 and catch up with an old friend over some tapas .

Lindsey

Totally off the beaten path and completely worth it. Delicious and reasonably priced artisanal cocktails and food--get the Pimm's Cup!

Amanda Schneider

The American 76 and the Brazilian are the cocktails to try here!

Will Bertelsen

It can be kinda a shitshow, but they have a very good cocktail menu and efficient service , which makes up for it.

Kirk Herlitz

Great cocktail and beer selection . Nice dark, speakeasy type feel off the beaten path.

SFGate Manager

Going on off days (or off hours) is the way to enjoy some of the best cocktails in the hood.

Rachael Lynn

I love this neighborhood gem . Great, low price brunch . The pork belly skillet and housemade sangria are delicious.

Chris H.

Don't forget to check the specials board for some great drink ideas. Or just get the Pimm's Cup.

Yelena D

Best brunch in North Beach !!! The skillet hash is delicious! And the punch is worth coming back for every time! Punch Drunk Brunch FTW!

David Suen

Ask the bartender to mix you the flavors you dig! Oh and photo booth in the corner

Alex Silarajs

Better to get in and out before 9:00pm. Great spot for happy hour , but becomes crowded and douchey after 9:00.

Barbara Stephenson

If you don't know what you want, ask the bartender what should go with your favorite flavor (mine is brandied cherries ). These kids make good drinks.

Alexandra Paun

I went off the menu and asked for a martini . It looked nice, but it was so watered down i could've had a pitcher

Frances James

Tiny hidden spot in N Beach - great cocktails and food. Good for brunch

Sofie Graham

It's a little out of the way, but this is a chilled place on weekdays, and a fun bar on weekends. Just another decent bar .

Bart C.

This may be minimally helpful, but there's an Icelandic beer on the menu that's relatively cheap and very good -- worth ordering

Anessa Dailey

First of all I don't like chicken . However the baricuas wings are the shit they are adorned with coconut , chili , lime and cilantro . Double yum!! Plus the cocktail program is fantaboulos!
