Try the Pisco Punch here: made with Campo, crushed pineapple, citrus, Angostura bitters, and ginger brew. Served over lots of ice in a Collins glass, this tangy treat is a spirited twist on classic Pi
Home to one of my favorite cocktails called The Carmen Amaya - Rye whiskey, cointreau, lemon, dry sherry, orange bitters, basil. Great weekdays at happy hour before it gets busy. Read more.
Anything with pisco, but the pisco punch is the best you'll ever have.
Best bitters selection. Can't wait to come back!
Arguably the best liquor store in the City for craft spirits. Prices are typically better than Jug Shop or D&M and inline with K&L.
Excellent whisky clubs!
"Bayonet" - cherries, brandy, and bitters. Dessert cocktail!
Drink a Fortunato, an off-menu cocktail at Blackbird, you might mistake for a tiki drink with a Southeast Asian twist. It's a blend of rum, lemongrass and coconut, accented by Thai-inspired bitters. Read more.
Try the Blackbird Toddy for a relaxing drink (has Earl Grey, Vanilla Bean) with some rye.
The Angostura phosphate will change how you think about bitters.
Homemade sodas made with homemade bitters
The Ice Cream Bar always has three dairy-free flavors: Chocolate sorbet, a coconut milk-almond, and a rotating fruit flavor. Though all are great, it's the almond that's the real winner. Read more.
Awesome spot (minus the hipsters and the over reliance on bitters to make their specialty cocktails)
It's dark in here, and there are dead animals hanging from the walls, but records spinning and divine libations make it Eater's go-to in the Outer Mission/Bernal nabe.
La Bonnie vie cocktail with gin, fresh lemon and grapefruit juice, basil and bitters is outstanding and a must try here!
Absolutely love the La Bonne Vie with Gin.(Gin or Vodka, Fresh Lemon & Grapefruit Juice, fresh basil and bitters)
A place with a modern take on classic libations, and a clientele that's a raucous mix of office workers letting loose and mixology aficionados. Try the Sazerac with locally distilled Old Potrero Rye. Read more.
Manhattan with birch beer bitters.
Gabrielle really knows her stuff. From mint drinks to manhattans with various bitters. Chocolate is to die for. Also know great eats
Handmade bitters, expert mixing staff.
Favorite Cocktail so far is the "Cucumber Gimlet": Vodka + Elderflower + Lime Juice + Orange Bitters + Sparkling White Wine + Cucumber Sliver = Amazeballs!
Rollin' through the TL, sippin' some gin n' juice... actually homemade bitters.
One of the coolest speakeasies I've ever been too. The decor and ambiance make it ultra mysterious too. I recommend the Elderflower cocktail which was so sweet and delicious. Good luck finding it!

Great drink specials for a music venue: vodka red bull and a whiskey ginger with bitters. Both come in a pint glass, both are $10. Turn up.
Popscene SF lives here. Great residents. Presents lots of live electronic bands, too. Excellent lighting. Take a photo in one of the Rickshaws!
See a band at the Rickshaw and get the bar's nightly drink special, no matter how weird it sounds or how apologetic the bartenders are about it.
Order the Del Rio cocktail (blanco tequila, fino sherry, St Germain, orange bitters)
Beers in the front, cocktails in the back. The scotch + bitters cocktail wasn't my jam but I hear they make some killer old fashioned here. (note all the diff bitters hanging out on the bar)
This is my favorite bar in the city. Great cocktails at $11 a piece. Get whatever the special is and take it upstairs or out to Dalva. I will probably be there too.
Cocktails, I’m fond of the Illegal Trust (Jim Beam rye, Copper & King's brandy, cold brew, "Treasury Vermouth blend", bitters)
Proper bar in FiDi with extensive cocktail list and local SF brews. Gets very crowded during happy hour. Expect standing room and elbow bumps
Excellent craft cocktails and high end bar bites.
Good locally invented cocktails on the menu: Pisco Punch, The Martinez, Hop Toad (Jamaican rum, apricot brandy, lime, & bitters)
The front room is a great place to watch the city pass by while imbibing first rate classic cocktails served by a charming bartender. The olives are darn tasty too.
This address has housed a bar of some description since 1907, and it feels like it. Think classic cocktails, abundant antiques, some live jazz, and the dress code is, blessedly, Fedora optional.
The Fistful of Bitters is a great mezcal-based cocktail. Try it if you want something balanced, smoky, sweet, & sour.
Sit at the bar. They've got a few cocktails with yuzu (Japanese lemons) in them.
The ahi tuna salad comes with lots of fish and is great bang bang for your buck.
Their old fashioned with cinnamon bitters is amazing.
A great addition to our neighborhood's enviable eating and drinking scene!
Loud, crowded, overpriced & full of greasy sales types attempting to compensate for lack of substance in all the wrong ways. For those with a modicum of discernment, this place is trying way too hard.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
