Aaron WheelerMay 14, 2014The Local Edition cocktail sounds like a simple Old Fashioned, but it's so good! Get it!
Good cocktails and good vibes. A pricier after-work spot but still would meet friends there from time to time.
SHOWRUNNERNovember 23, 2012Great, strong cocktails in the loungey basement of the Hearst Building. I like the Eagle (bourbon, homemade root beer syrup, soda).
Good cocktails but long waits to get a drink. Enjoy live jazz music on select nights.
Kat SFebruary 20, 2017Great choice of cocktails. Love how hidden the place is from the mainstream crowds
Great cocktails, incredible technique, cool vibe. Big spot, so good to go with a group of friends.
Alejandra Ariza BravoDecember 27, 2015Excellent music and environment. Perfect little place for some drinks in San Francisco.
classy establishment -- make sure to try their version of an old fashioned!
Lucia SangMarch 11, 2014The Place is decorated like the 20s. The Barmen are dressed like the time. Good to have a late drink.
Rouven WeßlingMay 26, 2018Great whisky based cocktails! Try the Lieutenant Governor if you like scotch.
Ugur SezginSeptember 21, 2016Long goodbye is good for who likes sweet drinks. And whiskey lovers can try Local Edition.- Jen ChaAugust 13, 2013Loved the Fidel and Che and Bloody Mary is made with pho broth! Bloody Mary could've been spicier for me - I should've asked.
Bar in the basement is the oiginal Chronicle printing press room. Sip cocktails nestled among 100 year newspapers where Hearst made his fortune. So money.
Zachary Reiss-DavisSeptember 7, 2016Go on Saturday or Sunday or after 7 PM to avoid the massive downtown after work crowd.
Sofie GrahamAugust 9, 2014A little pricey, but the atmosphere is great and the waitresses are very attentive. Try out their cocktails.
Superb drinks and a very cool vibe. Also fantastic for dates
This is the original birthplace of Jean Claude Van Damme. Truth. His Mother worked for the Chronicle and one stormy day Jean gave birth to himself doing a karate kick through her vagina.
Bernice ChowApril 20, 2013Soooo I tried the harvest punch. Strong! Bartender was super friendly and you can tell they actually are mixologists:)
Good cocktails, although the crowd on a Friday night felt like the Gap to the Marina's Banana Republic. Vodka fans should try the U.S.S.R.
Tone MosleyDecember 19, 2015Nice speak easy that offers great selection of whiskey. Great for people watching.
Carl MartinFebruary 6, 2015Cool cocktail joint with live music (did get a bit too loud mind you). Served by one seriously rude waitress, but we won't let Little Miss Zero Fucks ruin our night!
Sibel AkcekayaDecember 26, 2014I love the fact that they don't get so many people inside, so that you can breathe and move :)
Tsing TaoNovember 27, 2016The cocktails were delicious. Our server on the other hand, Nicole M, was by far the rudest I have ever encountered. I was a server for 10 years & she is a disgrace to the profession. We wont return.
The champagne pitchers are dangerous. I also like that you can reserve a seat and sit down :)
after about 11pm, it becomes open seating! also, the Fidel and Che drink is fantastic.
Claire La ShombJuly 28, 2013Good drinks but whats up with the music? Change the music and add something for the taste buds and the place would be stellar.- Bernice ChowApril 11, 2013Sad that they don't have the "monarch" drink anymore. Their pho broth Bloody Mary was interesting, not bad. And the lighting in this place makes everyone look good.
- Both the bottled cocktails are delicious (and affordable)!
Dan KimJuly 16, 2013They do the standard cocktails really well. My favorite Rusty Nail and Gin&Tonic are from here.
JustineMarch 8, 2013Never even knew this existed until 30 minutes ago. New favorite spot. Hidden. And amazing. And delicious.
amanda hugginsJanuary 21, 2014Bloody Mary is delicious but a touch too spicy. Go for the rosebud and you're golden.
Live music on some weekdays! Make reservations for weekends!
Jon HolmApril 4, 2013Great atmosphere! Just wished they served some sort of food. Even little snacks would be nice
Scott McKeighenApril 8, 2014Just had a pretty spectacular Old Fashioned tonight, courtesy of the talented man behind the bar.

"Awesome veggie burger and fries. Probably one of the best veggie burgers I've had. I wish they were less oily though. The garlic fries were very good, but very oily as well."

"They always have a fresh new selection of cocktails. Everyone on that list is worth a try"
Joseph Rall - 8.3
"Those tacos and chips really hit the spot, they also have really good tamales. Get yourself a Mexican coke and have a seat."
