Brad TApril 28, 2017You've got to love a talented bartender. Amazing drinks and the water comes before you even ask. Of course, outstanding drinks...both on and off the menu. Perfect place to have some fun.
StephanySeptember 9, 2018The menu changes often but the two drinks I had were wonderful. The egg white fizzy one was light and refreshing. The dark spirited one was whiskey goodness.
Heba-I-amSeptember 6, 2017Carson the bartender is awesome! I had way too many GREAT cocktails there. I tried three sworn enemies (with the gold dust) and the one in the pic and another that I don't remember😅 I recommend it
Staff PicksDecember 17, 2014This apothecary-themed North Beach boozery with a first-of-its-kind, seriously-no-one-is-doing-this cocktail program, screams authenticity. Try out their unbelievably unique and historic cocktails. Read more
Noah WeissFebruary 27, 2015The bourbon and branch team brings you another perfect date spot with an ambitious cocktail menu inspired by the gold rush.
Aaron JonesDecember 20, 2014Pre-pre-prohibition style cocktails from an era (1850s-1920s) when cocktails were crafted by pharmacists. The menu is as brilliantly designed the atmosphere. Try something from the Barbary Coast.
Adrian PhillipsJuly 31, 2016As I struggled with the menu and its many choices, my server saw my dilemma as I paged back and forth. He came over and said "Just tell me what you want." I did, and got a tasty Mezcal like Negroni
Ray YFebruary 23, 2015From the Bourbon & Branch people. If you're into cocktails, old-timey ragtime piano music, speakeasy vibes, small print menus and candlelight, you'll like this place!- Holly JonesDecember 20, 2014Try the Call A Treuse, Dr. Crawford, and/or Three Sworn Enemies. Best page in the whole menu! This bar is only 3 days old and feels like it has been here since the quake of 1906.
WhiskyAvengerJune 14, 2018The cocktails are inconsistent,and despite the 1940’s vibe the place gives off,the 80’s and 90’s music make it feel more like a cheesy nightclub.
Anna K.March 16, 2016Lovely apothecary-themed interior and nice old-school cocktails. Although, if you don't like your cocktail sweet, order smth not from the menu.- Jack OsborneOctober 2, 2018Normally not the kind of place I would like but this place is a-okay with me. Pleasant bartenders, live music and it's at its best when the sunlight streams in through the windows on a late afternoon.
Inventive and delicious cocktails, table service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Live music on Sundays! Close to Northbeach late night food!
Hands down the best cocktails and the best bartenders in the city. That's saying A LOT!
- Frances JamesJanuary 17, 2015Apothecary- style new cocktail spot. Has fun tonics & elixirs you can add to your cocktail (drinks only AFAIK)
Megan AllisonJuly 3, 2016I admire this level of commitment to a theme! Dig the menu fonts and the bathroom walls. House specialty cocktails a bit too sweet.
- Jinnie LFebruary 3, 2015we had such a great time yesterday :) nice spot to drink some yummy cocktails♡ love this place! sherry cobbler, call a treuse,
- Mario EstradaDecember 20, 2014There is actual gold dust in the "Three Sworn Enemies" - their delicious version of an Old Fashioned.
Geoff ReinhardtMarch 4, 2017Great drinks! But our bartender wasn't very good at pulling audibles and making creative drinks.
new and now my favorite n. beach bar. try the three sworn enemies.
Brittany BeisnerDecember 18, 2019Bartenders know their cocktails, definitely ask for their suggestions!
Elizabeth BursteinDecember 1, 2019Fun cocktail bar! Hazy memory of what i ordered but spent my 31st here
Anton ShusterJanuary 1, 2016They have an awesome menu of drinks, including house-made sodas like a cream soda, orange cream, etc.

Toland HonMay 9, 2015Service is a bit slow, but atmosphere is awesome. A bit loud, but you can still hear the person in front of you.
Eric StrohlMarch 20, 2016If you like decor that reminds you of a 1980s Wendy's this is the place for you!
