You've got to love a talented bartender . Amazing drinks and the water comes before you even ask. Of course, outstanding drinks...both on and off the menu . Perfect place to have some fun.

Stephany

The menu changes often but the two drinks I had were wonderful. The egg white fizzy one was light and refreshing. The dark spirited one was whiskey goodness.

Carson the bartender is awesome! I had way too many GREAT cocktails there. I tried three sworn enemies (with the gold dust ) and the one in the pic and another that I don't remember???? I recommend it

Staff Picks

This apothecary-themed North Beach boozery with a first-of-its-kind, seriously-no-one-is-doing-this cocktail program, screams authenticity . Try out their unbelievably unique and historic cocktails . Read more

Noah Weiss

The bourbon and branch team brings you another perfect date spot with an ambitious cocktail menu inspired by the gold rush.

Aaron Jones

Pre-pre-prohibition style cocktails from an era (1850s-1920s) when cocktails were crafted by pharmacists . The menu is as brilliantly designed the atmosphere. Try something from the Barbary Coast.

Ray Y

From the Bourbon & Branch people. If you're into cocktails , old-timey ragtime piano music , speakeasy vibes, small print menus and candlelight , you'll like this place!

Adrian Phillips

As I struggled with the menu and its many choices, my server saw my dilemma as I paged back and forth. He came over and said "Just tell me what you want." I did, and got a tasty Mezcal like Negroni

WhiskyAvenger

The cocktails are inconsistent,and despite the 1940’s vibe the place gives off,the 80’s and 90’s music make it feel more like a cheesy nightclub .

Holly Jones

Try the Call A Treuse , Dr. Crawford, and/or Three Sworn Enemies . Best page in the whole menu! This bar is only 3 days old and feels like it has been here since the quake of 1906.

Jack Osborne

Normally not the kind of place I would like but this place is a-okay with me. Pleasant bartenders , live music and it's at its best when the sunlight streams in through the windows on a late afternoon.

Anna K.

Lovely apothecary-themed interior and nice old-school cocktails . Although, if you don't like your cocktail sweet, order smth not from the menu.

Sarah Strehler

Inventive and delicious cocktails , table service, and a relaxed atmosphere . Live music on Sundays! Close to Northbeach late night food!

Megan Allison

I admire this level of commitment to a theme! Dig the menu fonts and the bathroom walls. House specialty cocktails a bit too sweet.

Chris Woodford

Hands down the best cocktails and the best bartenders in the city . That's saying A LOT!

Frances James

Apothecary- style new cocktail spot. Has fun tonics & elixirs you can add to your cocktail (drinks only AFAIK)

Jinnie L

Pete Williams

Great cocktails to help ease the pain of the mundane life

Mario Estrada

There is actual gold dust in the "Three Sworn Enemies " - their delicious version of an Old Fashioned .

Geoff Reinhardt

Great drinks! But our bartender wasn't very good at pulling audibles and making creative drinks .

Al Capati
