SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012Go for the generous-sized, not to mention reasonably priced, martinis; stay for the convivial atmosphere and sing-alongs of show tunes, jazz and contemporary standards in the back piano room.
Jessica RaeSeptember 3, 2013variations on the martini are a specialty. The Godiva Chocolate Martini is a crowd favorite. In the intimate back room a pianist plays nightly, and patrons take turns boisterously singing show tunes.
Anton ShusterJanuary 14, 2016You don't have to sing, but just come and listen to all the beautiful local voices. If you do want to sing, the pianist will help you along.
Great martinis. Great atmosphere. Great value. Great people. Not quite why it's labeled as a gay bar. This place is for everyone!
- Maykel LoomansNovember 5, 2017Some of the best vibes in San Francisco. Old school cocktail goodness, without all the frou-frou.
Amy BMarch 19, 2016Interesting group of people. Tough to chill if you don't luck out & find a seat. Bartenders move quickly and are ready to serve.- Rachel LaCroixOctober 9, 2017Stopped in here for a nightcap and I am so glad I did. Enormous well-made martinis, offbeat decor and fun bar patrons.
CocoAugust 8, 2014Peach fuzz is my fav martini in SF. Relaxing and imitate vibe. Good service as well.- Come for the wickedly strong martinis, stay for Katya Smirnoff Skyy every third Sunday at 7pm.
Drinks are made just right. Check out the pianonights
Scott HollanderOctober 2, 2018Martuni Mondays _ open Mike night great pisno player and excellent singers
Quintessential San Francisco. Enjoy the resident pianist and the cast of characters who sing here.
Jessenotpatrick DayAugust 18, 2013Get the espresso martini, it's deadly so good and doesn't taste like alcohol.
Besides it being way to dark, at least the martinis keep me coming back.
If you're in the back, respect the singers and keep your voices down!
Ngoc NAugust 12, 2009Karaoke in the back room on a Friday night is a MUST DO! The drinks are strong and the piano-playing, trumpet-blowing MC is amazing.
Get the sidecar... it's one of the best cocktails that I've found in the city.
My go-to is the blueberry lemon drop. Girly, but deadly. 2 of these and I'm slurring my words.
Lears FoolJune 15, 2015Dirty Ketel: It is just a style/brand order, but it sounds like a cocktail. Impress all your friends.
James AguilarJune 8, 2013The server basically told us to get the hell out about fifteen minutes after our first round. He even stole our table's candle! I'd still go back; it was fun.
MazdaNovember 12, 2010If you love top notch martinis and being serenaded by the smooth sounds of a piano, this is your place.
- Bijou every 2nd Sunday of the month with Trauma Flintstone. Always a great show .
Harry RobertsApril 12, 2016They shook all of their cocktails, poorly free-poured them, and didn’t rinse shakers between drinks. If you like cocktails, avoid.
