Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, lots of interesting cocktails. Good location to take tourist to and a hangout with some locals. Nice to have bar snacks with our drinks without asking.

Central location but very, very expensive and constantly chased to order more drinks whilst still drinking the one we had. Nice to see the cable cars going by but that doesn’t justify the cost even in SF. One of those places you visit once and don’t return to. Service charge included automatically as well Shame really as it could be so different.
do not come here if it's for a quick drink or 2. i ordered 2 regular beers that should have been no more than $20. They add 3 separate fees that raised my bill and extra $12. I've never been to a bar that charges a "service fee" and credit card fee. $32 is not a lot but when you order only 2 beers it's definitely unexpected and uncalled for. If you stay at any hotel nearby, do not come here
Excellent low key bar with a cozy atmosphere. Several tv’s provided different sports to view. Mixed cocktails and food appetizer were delicious! Definitely will return in the future.
I love the Bartenders here. Super sweet and good service with a fine pour. I got to watch my Knicks win on the big screen! Super cool sitting there with the door open and the cable car goes by slanging.
