“ Very fun and cool spot in downtown SF! The place has great views, amazing music, and a super fun vibe — it was packed but in a good way. Definitely recommend getting reservations! Our server, Kenneth was so hospitable — the drinks he recommended were so good and he was attentive to our group throughout the night! The host was also great and she made us feel welcome right away. I’ll for sure be back! ”
“ I absolutely loved my experience. Walked in at about 10:30pm last night (Saturday). The DJ was spinning classic funk songs. The drinks were great and honestly, I was expecting to pay more. Many cocktails in the 18 range. I’ve been to less cool skyline bars in other cities and always pay more for the views. The decor is chic and elegant. I will definitely be back with friends. ”
“ The hostess was so welcoming right when we walked in! The ambiance was amazing, service was great, drinks were amazing. Great experience! ”
“ Such a cute cocktail lounge, I wasn't prepared for it to be more like a club atmosphere later in the night, though, so fair warning if that's not your scene go earlier in the day or evening. We enjoyed some sparkling wine around sunset on a Thursday and the atmosphere was perfect, came back after 9pm on Friday to grab a drink and show some friends the lounge and it was like a completely different place, but still fun! ”
“ Fantastic rooftop bar with delicious cocktails and incredible views of Union Square! My friend and I had a reservation for 4pm on Sunday, right at opening, and I had also noted we were celebrating my birthday. We were the first in line upstairs and were led to the best seats in the house overlooking Union Square. We were pleasantly surprised that no one was seated next to us until a few hours in when the place got more crowded. I started with the Cable Car Redux while my friend ordered the Strawberry Grasshopper. For my drink, they had a fun presentation where they poured "Karl the Fog" over the drink. We then ordered the Furikake French fries, which were delicious, especially the creme fraiche dip! For the second round of drinks, I ordered a glass of their Clos Bellane red wine and my friend ordered the Pisco Punch. All the drinks were fantastic! Since we were celebrating my birthday, the staff brought out their sundae dessert, which they notified us was free of charge. The sundae was a delicious mix of warm, hardened meringue and yummy ice cream. The apps and cocktails are on the expensive side but that's to be expected of a rooftop bar. We had a bit of a mix up with our bill as we ended up getting charged for the dessert, however, the staff were apologetic and able to fix it right away. Will definitely be back! ”
“ The Starlite room is worth going to see! The decor and vibes are immaculate. You need a reservation on a weekend, place was packed. The service was friendly. Drinks were good, a little pricey but to be expected. If someone is visiting from out of town, this is a good place to bring them. ”
“ This bar is great as it offers a nice view of the union square below with good food and excellent cocktails that are famously created in SF. The menu even has the story behind each one of their drinks. The venue is nice with mid-century classic decors and a bit of Asian theme. The food is good, but a bit pricy. It doesn't take much to rack up the charges as it automatically includes the 20% service charges in the bill. ”
“ Amazing views of the city Great place for a date. ”
