In a city where cocktail prices go higher and higher, the three cocktail flight is such a great deal! Also, you're not just in a speakeasy , you're in a speakeasy within a speakeasy . How cool is that?

Irakli Agladze

This is probably the best cocktail bar on the planet. If you're alone - you can skip both the entree and the main "course" and go for the digestive. I would recommend "Hard boiled".

Marc S

Outstanding cocktails . Great selection of spirits on the menu and knowledgeable bartenders whose recommendations you should ask for and trust.

Colleen Shea

The Speakeasy inside the speakeasy ! Honestly the regular speakeasy (bourbon and branch) is better. Bigger drink selection and costs slightly less. Plus there is cute cozy booths you can sit in.

Amber

Go with the cocktail flight . It's well balanced no matter which ones you pick and you'll come away with a full and well-rounded experience!

Craig Hooley

It had a three course cocktail Menu and a 90 minute time limit but you can go back to the library when you are finished

Maya Byrne

Great cocktails that are also well priced. Perfect place to grab a drink with a friend or a group. No reservations required!

Jenn Estrada

Order the prix fixe three drinks - such a deal! Drew was our bartender for the night and was SO knowledgeable ! Such a memorable night! Will definitely be back!

Sam (@HandstandSam)

Amazing drinks, but there is absolutely no food. Eat before or prepare for an inebriated late night meal afterwards.

Highly recommend the three cocktail flight (now $35 or $13/cocktail). Also have Pappy van Winkle bourbons on hand (!!)

Gusto Lopez

Swank, tasty beverages and great bartenders . You wanna feel like you've got crazy swag, get the password and go here. Dope.

Check out their beverage academy classes -- their seasonal cocktail 102 class was three hours, three drinks, pretty interesting!

Vlad Mereuta

Cocktail flight is good value for money , really interesting ingredients. Call in advance to get a booking .

James Paden

The cocktails are more experimental than Branch and Bourbon . Some of the best cocktails I've ever had

Brian L

Love the three course cocktail menu for $30... You will certainly leave in good spirits .

Cathy Allen

It's a secret bar within a bar . Great concept, atmosphere, staff & drinks. An absolute must see in San Francisco,

David Holtz

Great whiskey selection . Three cocktails for $36 is a deal in SF!

Great atmosphere. Drinks were great and the service was amazing. Get the Charlie Chan .

Tasting menu - the cocktails for $30. Pretty inventive and can't beat the deal

Go for the three drink taster . The Pinkerton and the phantom are awesome. As is the Red Scareb.

Stephen Barnecut

A beautiful room with exquisite cocktails .

Sabina B.

Essentially the bastard child of Bourbon & Branch for people who reeeaaaallly want to pay New York prices for drinks

Austin Bales

The Skull Island Sour is amazing. Get it now.

Amrut Nagasunder

Definitely do the 3-course session. The cocktails are incredible!

Cocktails . Extensive Bourbon list , but come for the cocktail menu .

If you're going to get the three cocktail flight , I recommend pre-eating.

Guido Rama

Amazing drinks, expensive but worth it!

Fiona Stripe

The 3 course meal of cocktails was a lot of fun.

suzanne 🌶

A speakeasy within a speakeasy is quite the novelty.

Andres Douglas

Amazing speakeasy with cocktail flights

Allen Yu

The Charlie Chan drink is mixed so well , you can't even taste the vodka . Bartender was Isaac, who's really nice... And looks like sex incarnate.

Amritha Prasad

Call it yellow fever, but the Charlie Chan is THE best cocktail in San Francisco.

Thomas Gonzales

Skull Island Sour ! I could drink that all night long.

Donald

A must do in San Fran. Giving a password when you arrive was so much fun! Great ambiance and the Skull Island Sour was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Do a drink flight!
