Bar Iris
Cocktail bar
👍👍 We were initially seated outside on a cold San Francisco night, but were relocated inside within a matter of minutes, in the back room where it was quieter and easier to hear everyone talk. The decor inside is vibrant and modern. We were there for post-dinner drinks, and each of the 7 cocktails we g...

For The Record
Cocktail bar
😠 For the record - this place is stuck in the 60s-80s and not in a good way. I came with a group of friends (of color) and we were treated terribly by the owner and waitress on a Saturday evening. We were sitting in the back sipping cocktails and I was sleepy from the day so I rested my head on my b...

👍 A smaller speakeasy attached to the Bourbon & Branch (different entrance and required a password at the time - doorman was helpful for us first timers). It was crowded during my visit but it made sense when I witnessed the uniqueness of the bar decor, space, and drink selections. Our bartender was h...
