Is this place even serious?! RACHEL OMG. Best old fashioned I've ever had, BEST Manhattan I've ever had. This place is an absolute gem. Rachel is the freaking GEM OF THIS CITY. Absolute bliss. Thank you Rachel you literally are the best bartender I've ever met in my life and this is coming from a bourbon loveerrrrrrrrrrrr! Just fantastic. Sweet and took time to craft a damn perfect cocktail (four of them)!
Do not pass this bar by. The drinks are made so well. The bartender has been great each time I go. People are friendly and it is so nice inside!
First time visiting and I had an amazing time. It's a small, quaint bar in the Castro with great drinks and great energy. GENE was the best bartender ever. Make sure you see him when you go.
Don't come here. Start here. The best most balanced Manhattan ever. Cute, quaint, friendly. This is a place to not miss.
Yes! Great chill bar.. great drinks and great bartender.highly recommend. Literally great spot
Overall - One of the best bars in the city, and probably the best in the Castro. Inviting team and stellar cocktails make this spot on our regular rotation. Rating: 5 of 5 Ambiance - divey but charming. Since I first started coming here, they've slowly been adding small touches to make the space more inviting and it shows. Not a huge complaint, not worth dinging, but it does get very busy in here sometimes and it's not the most suited place for that. Could really use a second bartender for the busiest times. Again, though, not huge. Rating: 5 of 5 Service - this is where this bar shines and, I'd argue, what makes this spot so popular. All the bartenders are unique experiences and any single one of them would make this bar worth coming to. Every tender has their own menu with their own unique cocktails, I can't tell you how wonderful this is. This plus their personalities almost make this place a different bar every time they switch shifts. Special shout out to Jonathan, but everyone else is incredibly lovely. Rating: 5 of 5 Drinks - pretty standard choose your own adventure cocktail bar with some signatures based on the bartender. They do put a lot of love and time into their concoctions and it very much shows. What Was Ordered: Maker's Old Fashioned, Black Manhattan, Spicy Paloma Rating: 5 of 5 Scoring modifiers: - Price: the most reasonably priced, high quality cocktails in the city. +.5 Rating Modification Adjustment Total: +.5 Notes: - Ordering tips: if it's busy, recommend being patient, the drinks are worth it! Also, the crew has a very good memory, so order all of your party's drinks at once (and it seems they prefer this, correct me if I'm wrong) and sort out the tabs after the bill is paid. - What to Get: Anything - What to Avoid: Getting to the bar before you have the full order ready!
First timer. Awesome little spot ! Juke box with the classsssics fantastic drinks in the heart of the Castro.
I guess it would be more appropriate for me to call this spot the First Last Call Bar since believe it or not, I had never been here before a recent atmospheric river forced me physically to seek shelter. And I do mean 'physically' because I was like Winnie the Pooh on that blustery day looking for my honey pot. It was early on a weekday, like 3:30PM, when I entered the portal. There was just a couple of guys at the far end of the long bar and the friendly bartender keeping himself busy. The TV was playing one of the Star Wars movies from the pre-Luke, Natalie Portman trilogy. I never saw that trio so I couldn't tell you why Natalie was looking like a pissed-off prom queen. I decided to try one of their specials, the $13 Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita (photo: https://bit.ly/3K1bYFE). It provided a nice, unseasonably warm kick. No arms were twisted on my second drink, the $8 Makers Mark & Ginger (photo: https://bit.ly/3KwZrvi). I was ready to face the inclement weather. Liked my experience so much I came back a couple of weeks later. This time, the TV was playing the pre-coital samurai scene from "The Bodyguard". That was more like it. A very chill place at 4PM. COCKTAILS - 5 stars...libations made to order AMBIANCE - 5 stars...heavy mellow during an atmospheric river in a compact atmospheric space SERVICE - 5 stars...nice guys tend the bar here TOTAL - 5 stars...return visits likely, Last Last Call unlikely RELATED - Exploring the Castro?
