    Pacific Cocktail Haven (PCH) is the brainchild of Kevin Diedrich (BDK, Burritt Room), offering an array of classics and favorites from some of his older bar menus. Read more

    The Christmas pop-up is quite the popular attraction. I’m not sure stuffing myself in a small crowded bar full of young boozey adults high off the Christmas kitsch is my scene...

    This place has some of the best cocktails in the city, but the space is awful and usually pretty crowded. They’re so good that it’s still worth the hassle, but only if you’re in the right headspace.

    Forget the old cocktails at Cantina. This place is in transition. Come here for Kevin Diedrich's hits from BDK, Burritt room, and Jasper's tap room before they switch over to their new concept.

    Marry me, Alameda Hi-Ball. Also, you can order food from next door and they'll deliver it, which I always think is a nice amenity.

    You can walk next door to order food from Hogwash, and they'll deliver it to you at PCH. Get the pretzel already!

    Cocktails here are creative, well conceived, and well crafted. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Bartenders are friendly and efficient, too!

    Great little open space in the back for larger groups to hang out. Bartenders are very nice and my colleagues enjoyed their drinks. Thumbs up from us!

    If coming from out of town, stay next door at the quaint Hotel Rex. After a night of "What's next?", you'll be glad you did. So many great drinks that you'll want to sample the ENTIRE menu!

    The Stigi is a beautiful cocktail. Mezcal and aperol doesnt sound that delicious, but trust me.

    The menu changes often, but the secret menu drinks are the luggage tags painted on the back wall.

    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

    PCH has great tiki cocktails. It's a perfect bar for a date, going out with friends or a large group from work.

    We love the handcrafted culinary cocktails and the awesome vibe at this true cantina. Try The Misdemeanor, the Laughing Buddha or a pitcher of Pisco Punch.

    Creative cocktails executed perfectly every time and from any bartender. My favorite is called Barley and Me. Too many good drinks to count.

    Kung Fu Pandan and the Kyoto Fizz are top, delicious choices. Very creative, well-done cocktails here.

    There's a cocktail "family tree" painted on the hallway to the bathrooms which you can order from off the menu.

    Slurp and prime your amore with sexy cocktails by hot barmen--Delicious Duggan, Sassy Shaher or Randy Andy--when it gets muy caliente, you're 5 steps away from the posh Hotel Rex.

    Try the Saffron (mezcal, Campari, grilled pineapple, & citrus)!

    The bartenders here know the value of detail. They’re throwing blackberries into caipirinhas. They’re juicing oranges behind the bar. Grab a caipirinha, here they do it right.

    The Misdemeanor if you like tequila & the heat...of chiles. Perfection. (orange drink is Pisco Punch...for those who want an entry level cocktail intro)

    If you like spicy cocktails or Pisco, Cantina is the place for you. Grab a Laughing Buddha or some Pisco Punch and enjoy.

    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

    Happy hour is $9 highball cocktails, including the aperol spritz.

    These guys need to learn how to mix cocktails. The alcohol to mixer ratio is bad, and you end up with a drink that's more like a shot than a cocktail. Too bad, because the place and menu are nice.
