YasminApril 13, 2015Nice ambiance for conversation with a couple friends or a date. I loved the Third Rail - seemed to be popular. Bartenders spent quality time perfecting each cocktail but were fairly standoffish.
Great drinks. Unpretentious staff. Love this place! Good thing I live right around the cornerUpvoted Oct 18
On the GridNovember 21, 2016Order a couple ounces of the house favorite Spicy Beef Candy—or for vegetarians, the shiitake jerky with sake and balsamic—and pair it with a shot and a beer or one of the kickass cocktails. Read more
- The house Third Rail cocktail and all the jerkys are awesome. Also try the weekly cocktail, almost always great.
- Robert WilliamsJanuary 1, 2016Third Rail is one of the better cocktail bars in the Dogpatch, there are others like it, but this one is mine.It gets a little hot and crowded, but luckily, they open the windows if you ask.
Andy WelfleSeptember 18, 2016If it's a hot day, get the bar's namesake cocktail, the Third Rail. It's refreshing and so lemony.
Always the right amount of busy (Nice and quiet on a Sunday night, lively but not too crowded on a Friday.) Order a Mt Tam and all the jerkies!
The Diplomat is an excellent choice for a rich, nutty, sherry-forward boozy choice.
Serious EatsDecember 19, 2013A cocktail bar from the team behind Range on Valencia. No kitchen, but there are 9 different types of jerky to eat.
MarvinOctober 7, 2018Small, cute intimate bar in quiet dogpatch. Great intimate date spot with a great cocktail selection.
Kat 🐱May 24, 2019Nice cocktails. Some jerkies are too rough but overall not crowded and nice vibe - you can actually have a conversation with someone!
Tasting TableOctober 10, 2014Head to the Third Rail and try the Tijuana Brass. This verdant drink sips crisp and cool, like a morning spent gardening in the herb patch. Read more
Nick PinoJanuary 29, 2017Cocktails are a bit pricey, but good atmosphere for conversation - especially early in the night. Got the Third Rail cocktail this time. Probably wouldn't go for it if I came back.- Ashley MowreyJune 23, 2015Hip little space in the dogpatch that's out of the way. Great cocktail selection, which can be paired with... jerkey?
awesome cocktails and friendly bartenders! great date spot!
Charley ToddSeptember 19, 2015Had an excellent shot of whiskey here. And then maybe some more drinks. It all gets a bit blurry after that first drink.
Great new cocktail bar in DogPatch. Same team behind Range in the Mission. Excellent drinks and they have Van Winkle.
The Double Date and the Bait and Switch are phenomenal. Great space and nice bartenders. Highly recommended.
William LindnerDecember 7, 2014Nice cocktails. Weird ambiance. Trying really hard to be a hip bar, mostly filled with middle aged yuppies.- Mt Tam, for an easy gin-based drink. Or the Cloven Hoof for a warm winter rum.
They have vegetarian jerky, because apparently that's a thing.
Benjy WeinbergerFebruary 16, 2016Obscenely loud. Not recommended if you're planning to have a conversation.
