Brass Tacks

My favorite bar I'm Hayes Valley. A Saturday afternoon sitting at the table by the window with some of your best friends drinking a brass smash is the only way I want to live my life

I still miss Marlena 's. I do like the new decor though- and they kept the Santa collection! The drinks are good, staff nice enough. It attracts a crowd that feels sort of like the Marina , but it's ok.

Brass Tacks ups the ante at Sunday Brunch with a DJ who spins classic R&B hits while patrons enjoy chicken & waffles (which usually sell out), stuffed brioche French toast and pork belly & grits .

Awesome to sit at the window w a cocktail and people watch Hayes Valley walking by ...

Trust your bartenders ; they know their stuff. The list is EXCELLENT & spirit-forward, but if nothing appeals (and it's not crazy), give them a spirit and maybe a flavor you like, and let them go.

This is that kind of place that is cozy and big enough to converse with friends or the people around you. Also they serve hot toddy 's!

fantastic cocktails ! gets a bit crowded near the front, tons of space near the back! don't get your hopes up in finding some place to sit though.

Bring in food from the food trucks in Octavia Green and do brunch here. The best Bloody Mary in the neighborhood .

Serious drinks, serious decor. And by serious I mean they really put effort I to it all. A great replacement to Marlena 's as my Hayes Valley watering hole

The cocktails skew a little too sweet for my taste and the crowd is a bit bro-y. Two Sisters down the street has excellent cocktails and a more refined crowd.

They do carry some nice belgian beers such as Rochefort 6 & Bernardus Abt 12 (among others). Very friendly staff & great vibe. Great floor :-)

Great place to go after suppenkuche for a decent cocktail . Almost never busy.

Wow does this place get crowded easily. Great vibe and drinks during downtime, can get pretty overwhelming at peak times.

Hit and miss cocktails but the staff are nice. It's tradition for us on new years day.

Fun spot to grab a great cocktail in Hayes Valley. It can get very packed at night.

Good beer list . Local watermelon saison brew definitely worth a try,but not a session beer .

The ambiance is very nice and the bathrooms are clean . Plus, they can make a good old fashioned .

Get there early and get a window seat . Also, try the "on her Majesty 's secret service " cocktail . Yum!

Awesome bartenders and a great rum selection

the $10 cocktails are really good, I also like the whiskey sour . so tasty!

Get some bar seats by the front window. Fabulous craft cocktail and beer list .

My new haunt in Hayes Valley. Love sitting in the back with the booths . Friendly staff .

My favorite bar in Hayes Valley , incredible cocktails

Friendly bar staff , good atmosphere for a post-work drink

STRONG drinks . Nice bartenders , but the Valley Club and Knife in the Water we had (both baby pink) left something to be desired taste-wise. Not bad, but not Absinthe or Trick Dog, either.

A great place to go for drinks if you like busy/social bars .

The revamped bar is awesome. Really yummy greyhounds with fresh juice .

Great date spot for a weeknight. Stay away on the weekends.

Always loud and dive-y. Great if that's what you going for

Lots of hipster dude-bros. and lovely light fixtures.

I'll give you a dollar if you can find the Tito's on the wall in under 5 seconds.

Even when it's crowded up front there may be room in the back.

Good spot for a cocktail . They know their bourbon .

Super loud , so sit close. Red, white and rosé wine on tap . Rosé on tap will not be ignored.

Good bar , usually pretty busy, limited restrooms

Good vibes and tasty drinks!!

Pretty rad space. Good bourbon selection . Will def be back

The small dainty beer glasses.

Super loud when it's crowded but yummy drinks!

Nice atmosphere and interior.

Great for cocktails !

Please have the brass smash . It really is remarkable.

Cool space, met some interesting people

Like the lights, love the Brass Smash .

Fire walk with me. 🔥 🚶‍♀️ 👨🏻

Pretty amazing mixology bar and the doorman pretty hot.

Cocktails are yummy

Expensive spirit collection; Matty is nice to talk with!

Pretty much the best bar in Hayes Valley

Great sour beers
