"First impression?Stepping into this island-inspired bar is transportive. Soothing murals of palm trees and a heated outdoor patio with picnic tables—perfect for the punch bowls—make this one of San Francisco's few warm-weather bars. It’s tropical without stepping full-on into tiki territory. So who’s there?The group is a mixed bag. You're likely to see herds of friends, Tinder dates, and coworkers. But everyone is dressed down, and definitely channeling vacation mode. How are the drinks?Call it subliminal messaging, but the tropical punch bowls and spritzes sell themselves. Try the Avila, with tequila, Aperol, grapefruit, lime, and Prosecco ($70) with a group, or the seafoam spritz ($13), with elderflower, lime, Prosecco, and lemongrass if you want something just for yourself. Worth ordering something to eat, too?The only consumption that takes place is in liquid form. But this is in the heart of Hayes Valley, so there are plenty of eateries nearby. Did the staff do you right?Not feeling anything on the menu? The mixologists know their stuff, so if you're willing to trust them and tell them what you like, they're sure to whip up a good, custom option. Wrap it up: what are we coming here for?It's a prime spot for day drinking a sunny Sunday afternoon with friends. But it's also a convivial atmosphere for a casual date." - Jenna Scatena
