good drinks, VERY crowded happy hour

by anabris

My friends and I went on a Friday after work for a happy hour get-together. The drinks were OK, but the place was LOUD and crowded. Between the music playing and the happy hour crowd, we could hardly hear each other! The place did thin out after happy hour, though. This is a good place for a drink before a show, but not during the early evening crowd!

• Pros: cheap drinks
• Cons: loud & crowded during happy hour

Cool ambiance, relaxed atmosphere, fab happy hour

by ard6

My friend & I had a great time here recently on a Sunday night. The decor is tasteful with orchids, a cool waterfall/waterwall thing and artful lighting. The bartender was totally friendly, the patrons were all having a nice chill time (late 20s-late 30s) with somebody passing around chocolate for everyone to share. We stayed for a couple hours talking at our table and enjoying the positive vibe. The drinks seemed a tiny bit weak at first, but at $2 a pop we could afford to keep drinking. The doorman was a gentleman, listened to our buzzed chatter and then helped us hail a cab in the rain. I forgot to tip him and feel really bad about it now. Next time, I promise.

• Pros: Friendly, great atmosphere, cool drinks
• Cons: Parking is tough so consider cabbing it

Hot spot in Hayes Valley

Great bar - very hip, beautiful decor and killer happy hour! It's small, so prepare yourself for close encounters of the drunk kind with patrons, but all else is pretty damn cool. Reminds me of some lounges in la - but without the attitudes and beautiful people. Sorry - I have to be honest...

Awesome spot - check it out!

• Pros: Ambiance, Happy Hour Specials are awesome
• Cons: Location, Parking, Size
