Loads of delicious cocktails and a really solid selection of whiskeys.
they sure know their way around whiskey! The menu rotates, but order whatever whiskey based drink they make b/c it'll be good!

Their old fashioned comes with a huge rock in it. Awesome.
Cocktails are pretty solid, especially the barrel aged stuff!
NOLA Iced Coffee with bourbon and Joyride cold brew. Chk chk
Hands down my favorite bar. The cocktails are consistently phenomenal.
@JaumePrimeroAugust 14, 2013They make a mean Manhattan and make sure you ask them to make it with Bullett.
Kenny HsuJanuary 10, 2012Try the Blackbird Toddy for a relaxing drink (has Earl Grey, Vanilla Bean) with some rye.
Rob AtkinsonJanuary 14, 2017Good cocktails and beer, although I find it's either too crowded or feels empty
Gabriel GuerreroJune 23, 2013Tiffany is the best barwoman ever, all the time smiling and good drinks...
Quiet on a Sunday evening. The negroni was particularly good.
I really like the newspaper front pages wallpapered on the wall towards the back of the bar covering the big stories in SF and the world for the last century.
Hornet AppOctober 4, 2013The only upscale gay place in the Castro, far pricier than the rest of Castro but the setting makes for some smart conversations.
The Elope Old Fashioned will wake you up from anything!
They finally take credit cards & have No. 209 gin so it's all good!
It's no longer on the specialty cocktails menu, but they'll still make you an Aviation, which is good, because it's one of the tastiest things here.
- Fabio ResendeJuly 17, 2013"Laura Palmer" is one of the best cocktails in the city according to SFist
The Knee Slapper is the bomb. A Manhattan like concoction, only better.
Tyler ClarkMay 17, 2011It's definitely a mixed crowd of straights and gays, but it works. Awesome vibe, great cocktails. Read more
