Love this neighborhood dive / watering hole that's preserved in its time. Great for a casual drink with great company.

Everything here is amazing. Bartenders, cocktails, tunes. Hands down the best bar in SF.

Look for all the kitschy lone palms in the decorations. No drink menus here, order your favorite or ask the bartenders for recommendations.Upvote5Downvote
The comes from the lone palm in front. One of my favourite bars. The white table cloths, mural, lights and old tv with b&w movies create a very Lynchian atmosphere.Upvote2Downvote
WhiskyAvengerJune 13, 2018An elegant but casual bar that loud old like something you’d see in a 1940’s movie. They have great cocktails to boot.Upvote2Downvote- A dive bar with table cloths. Great for a single drink, or a long night.Upvote3Downvote
TK-421June 26, 2021The lack of an internet jukebox keeps chill vibe. Good for meeting people or grabbing a table with friends. Cool staff but no tips on those missing droids.Upvote2Downvote

Tim WasslerApril 24, 2011The best part is that there are two palm plants near the window. Second best part is that it's a great bar. Go there with people you like and drink liquids that make u feel funny inside.Upvote1Downvote
Gustavo ValadaoMarch 24, 2018Chill spot. A bit cramped, but very good vibes. People doing their thing enjoying a good time.

Literally a miracle—a mission dive that takes credit cards (all credit cards). Embrace it. Excellent spot for late night 1 on 1 chats.Upvote2Downvote
Laurie BennettDecember 11, 2016The negroni, the slow moving ceiling fans and white tablecloths - cosy & chilled, almost classy!Upvote1Downvote
My favorite bar in the neighborhood. Love the snacks on the tables during happy hour! (if you're lucky)UpvoteDownvote
Perfect for a date or catching up with a friend. Nice mood and fun white tables. Great cocktails. Peanuts. Not pretentious.Upvote1Downvote

Vivian WangSeptember 1, 2016Hang in the front so you can try to snatch the table up front, great for people watching as the night goes onUpvoteDownvote
Negroni rocks, martinis - great spot for classic drinks and low lighting.UpvoteDownvote
PeterMay 24, 2015Great interior, the cocktail/martini was great too. But the staff was just awful. Asked for some advice regarding a cocktail. No help at all. The staff just started serving drinks to the next customerUpvoteDownvote
Kathleen ClarkSeptember 6, 2011This place has great ambiance and strong cocktails, but arrive early on Friday or Saturday. Otherwise, you'll be standing for hours and getting bumped into constantly.Upvote1Downvote
One of the bartenders invented something she calls a "gin sonic". It's 1 part Gin, 1 part tonic, 1 part club soda, with a twist.UpvoteDownvote- Josh EstelleAugust 8, 2014Chill environment. Excellent to have a cocktail and catch up with a friendUpvoteDownvote
Jessica BelluominiAugust 24, 2014Slightly weak cocktails at reasonable prices. Cozy and chill atmosphere.UpvoteDownvote
