Amber JamalMarch 29, 2016Really fantastic, hip bar for a night out in SF! I recommend staying at the hotel it's located in, Clift, then ending up here after a night of shenanigans in the city.
Juho RuoholaJuly 23, 2013This was my favorite bar during my vacation in SF. Good-looking drinks, good-looking people and superb staff, esp. Jackie and Mike. The atmosphere is classy but still nicely cozy, plus cool interiors!
Great old fashioned here... and keep an eye on the "paintings" hanging from the walls as their eyes shift their gaze around the room.
Amy TaylorApril 4, 2019It’s all the original decor, the walls at from the 1930s, as well as the lighting, all the wall scones and chandeliers! The only thing New is the Bartop and liquor armoire! It’s absolutely beautiful!- J JohnJune 24, 2023Perfect ambience, post modern lounge vibe with exceptional artwork and decor. Service was impeccable, A+++
- Navjot SinghFebruary 24, 2016Superb crowd and a great place to be till 2 am. Little expensive but the crowd is classier and a fun place to be at .
Earl WilliamsOctober 12, 2014Atmosphere is trendy and your liquor selections are quite impressive. great place to dress up and have a few drinks.
herm pugayNovember 4, 2014Dinner, lounge and special events. I just like the video portraits on the wall. I like the giant chair out in front.

Classy atmosphere... let's not forget some of the finest cocktails in the city! Read more- Sailing Spoken HereDecember 6, 2010A San Francisco landmark that has been beautifully restored iwth inlaid Redwood Panels covering the walls and an enormous mirrored art deco bar. The cocktails and appetizers are a must have.
Raj S.August 17, 2014A regal drinking room inside the Clift Hotel. Have a cocktail with a date before going out. Dress well.
TaskRabbitDecember 28, 2011Great place to grab a drink on a week night because there's always interesting people having drinks. From travelers staying at the Clift Hotel to locals downtown.
Friday night TGIF is best from 10-11:30P....then head w/ new friends to the "Tenderloin" around the corner for the next stage of an evening in the City by the Bay$
Doug MakishimaSeptember 8, 2014Same classic dark lounge decor and atmosphere, but booming club music on the weekends changes the mood from nice lounge to bottle/table service club.
Best for people watching on Friday and Saturday nights. Monday though Thursday are pretty entertaining too.
Syndicate Media GroupAugust 22, 2011SF [Drink] Aside from the cool factor of drinking inside SF's most iconic bar, the Redwood Room has a delicious new drink called the Amazu. Try it!
One of the finest hotel bars in the world. Come early and relax.

Andy NobleAugust 3, 2012This place is truly special and has a history... in the heart of San Francisco
Toreya SheaJanuary 10, 2011The Delano in South Beach meets the Bazaar in Los Angeles. Unique, see-and-be-seen, dark, and fashionable!
- Adrienne WoodlandSeptember 9, 2018I stayed at the Cliff and came here for a drink on a Thursday night. The later it got, the sleezier it became. Would not go back.
PMZ Real EstateJuly 8, 2010The perfect post-Inman Real Estate Connect decompression chamber. Great spot for appetizers and drinks just around the corner from the Hilton.
Jennifer ChuangMarch 5, 2010look at the paintings on the wall. they are actually videos and they move very slowly. some only blink. i love it.
Terry LoveJanuary 28, 2011Get the Manzilla ! Awesome Service! And if you are hungry get the Flatbread :-)
Matthew LockJuly 31, 2011A pretty ghetto bar. If you really want to live it large, I recommend The Hi-Tide Lounge over the road.
