Really fantastic, hip bar for a night out in SF! I recommend staying at the hotel it's located in, Clift, then ending up here after a night of shenanigans in the city .

Juho Ruohola

This was my favorite bar during my vacation in SF. Good-looking drinks, good-looking people and superb staff , esp. Jackie and Mike. The atmosphere is classy but still nicely cozy , plus cool interiors!

Dens

Great old fashioned here... and keep an eye on the "paintings " hanging from the walls as their eyes shift their gaze around the room.

Amy Taylor

It’s all the original decor, the walls at from the 1930s, as well as the lighting, all the wall scones and chandeliers ! The only thing New is the Bartop and liquor armoire! It’s absolutely beautiful!

J John

Perfect ambience, post modern lounge vibe with exceptional artwork and decor. Service was impeccable, A+++

Navjot Singh

Superb crowd and a great place to be till 2 am. Little expensive but the crowd is classier and a fun place to be at .

Earl Williams

Atmosphere is trendy and your liquor selections are quite impressive. great place to dress up and have a few drinks.

Dinner , lounge and special events . I just like the video portraits on the wall. I like the giant chair out in front.

Allison Kaminski

Martinis and cocktails are tasty!! It's a pretty swanky place

Sailing Spoken Here

A San Francisco landmark that has been beautifully restored iwth inlaid Redwood Panels covering the walls and an enormous mirrored art deco bar . The cocktails and appetizers are a must have.

TaskRabbit

Great place to grab a drink on a week night because there's always interesting people having drinks. From travelers staying at the Clift Hotel to locals downtown.

Aaron Maestri

Friday night TGIF is best from 10-11:30P....then head w/ new friends to the "Tenderloin" around the corner for the next stage of an evening in the City by the Bay $

Doug Makishima

Same classic dark lounge decor and atmosphere, but booming club music on the weekends changes the mood from nice lounge to bottle/table service club.

Marc Woodward

Best for people watching on Friday and Saturday nights. Monday though Thursday are pretty entertaining too.

Syndicate Media Group

SF [Drink] Aside from the cool factor of drinking inside SF's most iconic bar , the Redwood Room has a delicious new drink called the Amazu. Try it!

Jeff Melnyk

One of the finest hotel bars in the world. Come early and relax.

The Delano in South Beach meets the Bazaar in Los Angeles. Unique, see-and-be-seen, dark, and fashionable !

Adrienne Woodland

I stayed at the Cliff and came here for a drink on a Thursday night. The later it got, the sleezier it became. Would not go back.

Jamie McGurk

Very good blue cheese-stuffed olives in the martinis !

PMZ Real Estate

The perfect post-Inman Real Estate Connect decompression chamber. Great spot for appetizers and drinks just around the corner from the Hilton.

Best blue cheese olives . No beers on draft though.

AK Bruton

Great atmosphere. The moving pictures are trippy.

Karen Stoll

Reservations . Great food at the restaurant . Patience.

Great venue and atmosphere but let down by poorly mixed cocktails .

Jennifer Chuang

look at the paintings on the wall. they are actually videos and they move very slowly. some only blink. i love it.

David Holtz

The vibe here is a bit weird - basically Vegas-lite.

Valeria Kholostenko

Ask for Randalyn to get a great table at this high-end joint

Terry Love

Get the Manzilla ! Awesome Service! And if you are hungry get the Flatbread :-)

Matthew Lock

A pretty ghetto bar . If you really want to live it large, I recommend The Hi-Tide Lounge over the road .

Queena Deschene

Are strong cocktails worth $16?

Chris

Tunes are great at the Bardot Happy Hour
