c0uPJanuary 18, 2014The Aries (rum-based, Astrology works!) is one of the best cocktails I've had! Source: had 3 tonight.
The menu changes every few months, but generally they have some magical concoction with Calle 23!
Great cocktails- menu is always themed and always changing!
Tom SheahanApril 25, 2013Great cocktails --- it takes awhile to get them. Each cocktail is literally a science fair project. Worth the wait.
Joshua HaftelApril 14, 2015No idea why it took me so long to come here. Great cocktails and fun people.
Get adventurous! Pick your color and order away -- nothing is bad and if it's not your favorite you tried something new.
Best cocktails in the neighborhood. Great vibe, fun atmosphere.
Rob AtkinsonAugust 2, 2015Pretty hard to go wrong. Cocktails of any description are the name of the game. On menu or off
This is a SF must, go grab dinner on Sunday night...it wont be busy then.- Not much seating, but it works to the bar's benefit. Rubbing elbows with so many strangers makes it easier to strike up conversations with potential new friends.
Sandro PuglieseJuly 24, 2014Thank goodness for this place - serving food past 10pm. Drinks and food looking delicious.
Norbert HuJuly 16, 2013Don't be tricked by this dog. They don't serve hot dogs. But their Trick Dog does an amazing treat!
Mindy SoApril 12, 2013Fries mammal style and Kale salad is a must! Pantone and Grandma Sweater cocktail is delish!- Ashley MowreyAugust 22, 2014Bring your ID, the first hipster bar to card everyone. Ps, manify your fries
Mark KupasrimonkolMarch 18, 2015I enjoyed the chicken nuggets more than I should have. If you're waiting for your table next door don't ruin your appetite.
The record drink menu is a cool concept, but kind of hard to read/navigate in the dark and crowded bar. Do yourself a favor and load the menu on your phone instead.
When I doubt, ask for Chad. Get the ginger chicken. Come mid-week and avoid the insanity.
So hip it hurts, but they make a mean selection of cocktails
New menu! Ignore all tips! Jay is the mayor, do anything to overthrow him!
Stellar cocktails if you are prepared to brave the sometimes complicated menu.
Kensie SmithJanuary 16, 2013Grandma's Sweater and Straw Hat are delicious. Lost on the way there? Look for the pineapple on the door
My two favorite drinks I've tried here are the Pantone and the Baby Turtle.
The cocktails for sure and their famous chicken nuggets !
Michael EAugust 31, 2014Eat a slow dinner and try all the cocktails while sitting upstairs, much less cramped.
Record menus = big UX fail. Bring back the Pantone menus (or at least something else that can actually be read).
Ben HessJuly 30, 2013place is so cool, there's no signage whatsoever ... kale salad is surprisingly the bomb
Alex ChengJanuary 26, 2013If you're a hipster, try to get here before it becomes popular. Oh too late it's already popular.
