    A bartender told me 2 diet cokes would be $8 total… and then proceeded to charge me $20. Fine, whatever but since I was charged more than double what he stated, I decided not to tip. My email receipt via Square said he added his own tip. This is ILLEGAL

    A great little neighborhood bar with awesome selection selection of custom cocktails and local microbrews. Super service from friendly bartender Sergio and owner Chris. Definitely a great place to meet and hang out with friends new and old.

    We've wanted to try this place for a long time, since it's in our neighborhood and there always seems to be people inside. Well, we finally went and... it was just okay. One of the bartenders greeted us and then went MIA. The other bartender had a very bad attitude with us + everyone who walked in, to the point where it just killed our vibe for the rest of the night :/ Overall, this place just felt kind of pretentious and try-hard. We left there asking ourselves why we paid for overpriced cocktails, just to have the good mood ruined for the night. We were kicking ourselves for not going to another bar we knew would've been more fun.

    The Driftwood never lets us down. Such a great chill vibe and the owner and staff really give a s#%t about their patrons. Do yourself a favor and visit this awesome establishment✌🏻

    Words cannot express the laid back vibe but high end/quality drinks of this hidden gem of a place. To say the staff is above and beyond would not do it justice. Hand crafted. Artisanal drinks. Great music and live performances and an unpretentious crowd representing this amazing city. Diverse. Fun. Intelligent. Engaging.

    I had a great time at this small bar located in the SOMA district. They have several beers on their menu, plus a list of some awesome cocktails. They have a full bar, so you can order just about anything you want, even if it's not on the menu.

    This place is like queer Cheers. The best place in SoMa for a *really good* cocktail, great people, and by the end, everybody knows your name. Love.

    I was visiting some friends while passing through the area. They wanted to go out for a couple late drinks and brought me to this place. It had a very welcoming atmosphere and I had a couple glasses of hard cider. It was a fun time and would definitely go back again when in the area next time.

    Excellent vibes, delicious drinks, dimly lit back room with an old collapsing red velvet couch. Everything you want in a bar.

    Jack In the Box. Has excellent fast food Gary st. Up the blk. best prices and the best affordable food in San Francisco. Get you a Juicy BURGER with some Curly Fries and sit in Union Square. Then go to Macys and get you a Starbucks Cappuccino and Shop. IT'S THE BEST 👌

    Had a East Bay Mule and a Far East Zinger. Both were terrible. Both tasted like they used expired products that were way past due.

    Cute bar, cute queer vibe. Prices were good. Service from the bar was a little slow on the night I went.

    Cute bar with great drinks. The owner is super sweet and the place is always crowded.

    Talk about delicious craft cocktails and a sexy mood. Definitely recommend sitting in the back area where there are some couches. If you have a chance, also order their ranch chips and their jerky. Both the ranch dip and the jerky are homemade at the bar and make a great accompaniment to any cocktail
