Nice ambiance for conversation with a couple friends or a date. I loved the Third Rail - seemed to be popular. Bartenders spent quality time perfecting each cocktail but were fairly standoffish.

Emily Zing

Great drinks. Unpretentious staff . Love this place! Good thing I live right around the corner

On the Grid

Order a couple ounces of the house favorite Spicy Beef Candy—or for vegetarians , the shiitake jerky with sake and balsamic—and pair it with a shot and a beer or one of the kickass cocktails .  Read more

The house Third Rail cocktail and all the jerkys are awesome. Also try the weekly cocktail , almost always great.

Robert Williams

Third Rail is one of the better cocktail bars in the Dogpatch, there are others like it, but this one is mine.It gets a little hot and crowded , but luckily, they open the windows if you ask.

Nader Farzan

Always the right amount of busy (Nice and quiet on a Sunday night, lively but not too crowded on a Friday.) Order a Mt Tam and all the jerkies !

Andy Welfle

If it's a hot day, get the bar 's namesake cocktail , the Third Rail. It's refreshing and so lemony.

Chris Messina

The Diplomat is an excellent choice for a rich, nutty, sherry-forward boozy choice.

Serious Eats

A cocktail bar from the team behind Range on Valencia. No kitchen, but there are 9 different types of jerky to eat.

Nice cocktails . Some jerkies are too rough but overall not crowded and nice vibe - you can actually have a conversation with someone!

Marvin

Small, cute intimate bar in quiet dogpatch. Great intimate date spot with a great cocktail selection .

Tasting Table

Head to the Third Rail and try the Tijuana Brass. This verdant drink sips crisp and cool, like a morning spent gardening in the herb patch. Read more

Nick Pino

Cocktails are a bit pricey , but good atmosphere for conversation - especially early in the night. Got the Third Rail cocktail this time. Probably wouldn't go for it if I came back.

Ashley Mowrey

Hip little space in the dogpatch that's out of the way. Great cocktail selection , which can be paired with... jerkey?

Jennifer Yip

awesome cocktails and friendly bartenders ! great date spot !

Charley Todd

Had an excellent shot of whiskey here. And then maybe some more drinks. It all gets a bit blurry after that first drink.

Brian Clevenger

Great new cocktail bar in DogPatch. Same team behind Range in the Mission. Excellent drinks and they have Van Winkle.

Jim Fazzone

The Double Date and the Bait and Switch are phenomenal. Great space and nice bartenders . Highly recommended.

Chuck Coulson

Great neighborhood bar with craft cocktails and jerky ! Cool combo!

William Lindner

Nice cocktails . Weird ambiance. Trying really hard to be a hip bar , mostly filled with middle aged yuppies.

Michael Lintorn-Catlin

Mt Tam , for an easy gin-based drink. Or the Cloven Hoof for a warm winter rum .

Jean-Pierre Pommet

Cocktails and beef jerky , simple as that :)

Megan Allison

Ace bartenders . A+ liquor options. Cozy joint.

John Gelbius

Excellent beef and pork jerky here. Many of them made in-house.

Can't go wrong with a Cloven Hoof or Double Date.
