Jorge OrtizOctober 28, 2013From Ramrod in 1967 until KOK Bar in 2013, 1225 Folsom was the home of (in)famous gay leather bars. Look in the bathroom for a rather large tribute to KOK Bar, the last of the seedy occupants.
Chris MessinaNovember 19, 2013The cocktails are straightforward and spirituous; we like the Bosun's Knot, an old-fashioned with a green Chartreuse and coffee bean kick, and a classic Last Word or Vesper are also good options.
Karina van SchaardenburgOctober 19, 2015When bloodhound is too busy just keep walking a block to this less popular but equally great cocktail bar. Grab the couches in back if they're free.- Chris EdwardsJune 13, 2015There's a cosy area in the back with a leather couch that's great for enjoying a cocktail or two.
If you're in the mood for something unique, try the smooth coffee-tinged Hemisphere.
Jennifer WaggonerNovember 28, 2013Ask the bartender about gin options. The remote controlled fire in the back is cozy.
