Cocktail Time!. Popped into Bliss Bar Friday night, nice spot! The bar is pretty narrow with bench seating, small tables and chairs. Lighting is very subdued with a small gas fireplace. Crowd was very mixed, mostly late 20's to early 30's. In the back is a private room, looks like some space to stretch out. Their was a DJ spinning some good music to keep things grooving. Only thing that bothered me were the drinks, they were not very well made and I think the bartender blew one drink entirely as noted in an earlier posting

Trendy Space, Not so trendy crowd. Trendy lounge space and very cool music. DJs at this place are very impressive. it's cruel not to have a dance space when the music simply makes you want to get up and shake. It'd be nicer if DJ space was more visible. Someone told me this space used to be a pub? I think the pub regulars are still coming to this place. It gets crowded. patrons are generally 27 and above.

Nice & cozy!. Bliss is a great place to go hang out with your friends. The service was cool and drinks were alright. The place was plushed out! It felt like the Matrix Fillmore's little sister! The crowd was mixed and everyone seemed real cool and relaxed.

Chillaxing. Perfect place to chill and relax; enjoy good conversations to the dj's (donovan-i think) groovy head bobbing ecclectic beats. (Hip hop/Jazzy/downbeat house) Friendly bartenders, nice ambience. Attracts a down-to-earth crowd....at least that night I was there. A lot smaller than pictures on the website, but I think it was good that way. Not a dancing-type of club, but can certainly get you're groove on if you wanted; more of a loungey setting.

Nice spot to lounge. Nicest spot in SF I've been to for a place to just hang out. Suave atmosphere and nice clientele. Not too much trouble finiding parking and it's in a very nice relaxed middle class neighborhood.

Finally...... When the Bliss Bar first opened in Noe Valley, the neighborhood wasn't quite sure what to make of it. But, finally, it has become a staple of the nightlife in one of the best neighborhoods in San Francisco. It's a bar with character and mood - from the lighting to the drinks to the bartenders. The Bliss Bar is a great bar for a first date or for a casual get together with friends... Make sure you check it out....

Bad bartenders. I have worked in the restaurant industry for years, and always give bartenders and waitstaff the benefit of the doubt, but the female bartenders this past weekend were incredibly rude and couldn't mix a drink. My first martini was THE WORST I have ever had, and the second drink was not what I ordered. I had to turn to bottled beer. Please learn to do your job with a good attitude, or this cool spot will go bust. Again.

that place you've been looking for.. if you're looking for a chill, classy bar to go to with a date or with friends, this could be the place you've been looking for. the music, surroundings, and general ambience define urban elegance, while maintaining a surprisingly nonpretentious air; if one of the pierres who owns the bar is around, he'll be happy to show you around. oh, and hands down the BEST cosmo i've ever had, anywhere -- for a measly five bucks. the aptly named bliss bar won't disappoint.

Neighborhood class. Living in Noe Valley for the last 4 years, I recently went into Bliss and was delighted to see a nicely done "neighborhood" bar where not only do the locals appreciate Noe but the staff is also part of the neighborhood. Although the bartenders looked incredibly serious while they were working, they were very friendly and poured a great drink. I will be frequenting Bliss as long as my liver allows!
