Marcela SaponeSeptember 5, 2016If you want NY in SF this is your spot. The owner / bartender is delightful. They always put one weird drink on the menu trying to push the edge (when I was there it has grappa).
Jen CorreiaSeptember 14, 2015Mo & Brian design an amazing drink menu that is ever-changing. Their knowledge of ingredients in which to pair with spirits is top notch. Enjoy cocktails & oysters in an intimate setting & great tunes
Brad TJune 3, 2016Amazing cocktails with a fun 'out of your comfort zone' menu. Experiment with a couple on the menu before going 'dealers choice' where you will not be disappointed. A great addition to the area!
Michael LunøeDecember 11, 2016Small cozy bar. Service can be a bit slow sometimes, but drinks are good. You can also get oysters, but their selection of sparkling wine is usually not fantastic, but it serves the purpose.
Simon KratzerAugust 12, 2017Our waiter was a bit overwhelmed since it was his second day. But he even provided us with some historic facts. Plus the cocktails are exotic and good.
Oyster shooters are amazing here! You sometimes have to ask if it isn't on the menu.
Tim BushJuly 23, 2017Cool spot for a cocktail or beer. Limited seating, so get there early and work your way through the drinks list 👍
We come here and order random ideas for drinks. It's great that they humor us and build on our goofy concepts.
Hidden cocktail bar in G hotel. Go here to impress someone who likes fancy drinks. It's small and cozy, which makes for a great date spot.
Jay PoulosMay 30, 2018The Southie Street Fair & Stranger Than Paradise. Both are awesome and all cocktails are $13. Also oysters are $3!
Joey CombsFebruary 27, 2016Really cool speakeasy vibe and the cocktails are just as inventive as they are delicious. Great staff too - check this place out!
Andy KanenasMay 11, 2018Great mezcal old fashioned - a dim lit, cool place in central SF. Worth a visit!
- Allan Stepps ⛵October 20, 2019There’s quite good amount of alcohol in each cocktail. Tried the Bastian and I’m not disappointed 🥳
Jane RadstromApril 9, 2016Small menu that changes frequently and features mostly new rather than classic cocktails, and an interesting, curated liquor selection. Tiny, intimate space.
Fiona StripeAugust 3, 2016Really nice bar - a total gem! The cocktails were really unique and although the menu was small, the food was very good!
Jenny L.May 22, 2015Great cocktail and oyster selection. I thought the oysters here were better than Hog Island (in the Ferry Building)
Rose PuntilloFebruary 8, 2017Ask the bartender to create you a cocktail and they will make an elixir that will make your tastebuds dance
Brian StraussMay 4, 2015Fun speakeasy style bar. The oysters were fantastic. However there is no significant grub to soak of the booze.
Amy BSeptember 27, 2015Probably the most helpful, aware & nice (yes really) bartenders. Small space with plenty of seating options.
Penny YuanMarch 27, 2015Inside Hotel G. Either go through Three 9 eight through the back door or go around the left and through the open metal door.
Dealer's choice is the way to go. Describe what you are thirsting for and they make it, as simple as that.
Christian RennerOctober 16, 2016For a speak easy bar very noisy. cocktails are not really special. Oyster selection (the offer 4pc) is solid.
Stay away if you're not looking for a unique cocktail experience

"Go 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."
