    Terrible bar with terrible bartenders. Avoid if you can! A group of friends and I came here on a Friday night and the bartender serving us (a larger female) took 10 minutes to make 2 small drinks in an empty bar. She also tried to give our drinks to the only other party in the bar. Not sure how she forgot who she was serving. She was also talking to the drinks as she was making them which made our group believe she wasn’t even close to sober while working. She also chose to pass an insult in hopes of cracking a funny joke. Not sure what that was about but the service is not worth coming to this bar at all.

    Fantastic bar, knowledgeable and friendly bartenders. Every beer on draft was special and had a story. Not very busy, don't understand why. The game was on, patrons were getting to know each other and sharing drink recommendations. Great whiskey selection, we came in for one round, just kept finding reasons to stay. What more can you ask for?

    Good for some drinks after work or meeting with friends. However, too noisy to watch the game over a beer and not fancy enough to spend the entire evening there.

    It’s that time of year - pumpkin spice sour was on special tonight. So tasty. Very talented bartenders ask for Zach he can make delicious beverages for everyone’s palate.

    Great cocktail and spirits bar right outside the Salesforce tower. Would recommend heading over between 7-9 PM to get a place, the bar gets pretty busy right after.

    Great whisky selection. Attentive, knowledgeable, and amiable bartender who takes good care of customers. A nice alternative to some of the busier spots and sports a big window that opens to the street for fresh air on a nice day.

    Great whisky selection. Kyle’s scotch knowledge and great attitude was exceptional. Will return on my next visit to the city.

    A stellar place to relax after work or enjoy sipping on their wide selection of unique spirits and beers. Bar tenders know their stuff and are A+. We enjoyed the drinks and learning about the different spirits.

    I really enjoyed this place as that the bartender helped to customize cocktails and tailored it to what flavors that I was looking for and it's profile. This helped me to build an understanding of drinks that I was looking for. For what I was looking for and the value of the education, these are very reasonably priced drinks. (it's priced on the components of the drinks)

    I believe the bartender’s name was Kyle, he made my experience awesome. He gave us recommendations of SF, customized drinks, over amazing. I wish we had bartenders at my local spot like him. Reason for the 4 star was the bartender with the unique voice, he interjected into conversations and all he did was bash us, other patrons, and Kyle for the topic of fantasy football. If that guy was my bartender I would have left after my first drink, but Kyle saved the place.

    We hosted a company happy hour here. The cocktails were delicious, and Nika was a pleasure to work with! They also allow outside catering food, and even helped me set up the table! Would definitely come back again:)

    What can't I say about this place. Bartenders know their stuff, and there's a massive selection of whiskey, bourbon, and a great selection of beer. Will always prefer this as my go to spot in SF.

    What was supposed to be just 1 or 2 drinks with a friend turned into a night of closing this place down with 10 new friends, oh my! Excellent wine selection, great nibbles (get the mac & cheese and the luscious bread pudding) and I loved the crowd here. Thank god I don't live walking distance from this place as you might find me here every week! Thank you Matt for being such a great host!!

    I was roofied while at this bar last june. I tried to contact the owner to no avail but never heard back. I tried reporting the bartender on shift to the sfpd but the process took too long and dropped it. I was slipped something in my drink and felt nauseous/the effects starting shortly after receiving my drink from the bartender.. and passed out within 45 minutes for 6 hours. Luckily my boyfriend happened to be around the corner and was able to come get me before the effects of whatever I was given started. If you are a woman/bipoc/queer, please be careful - do not go to this place.
