The 11 Best Cocktail Bars in San Francisco
"It should come as no surprise that the bar nestled above Michelin-starred Mister Jiu’s has its own high-octane cocktail menu mixing technique and specialty ingredients with flair. The bar opened in 2019 with a roster of drinks from bar guys Danny Louie and Alex Kulick, and these days, the bar continues to rotate in seasonal cocktails, such as the current Clear and Bright, which mixes duck fat-washed rye, with single malt, apricot, and lapsang souchong tea. If the bar isn’t already reserved for a private event — which happens often, so be sure to check the bar’s website ahead of time — order a drink and either settle into a velvet-lined booth or head to the windows for a view of Grant Street’s lanterns and, if you’re lucky, a peek of the Bay Bridge down Commercial Street. — Dianne de Guzman" - Andrew Calisterio
