"For nightlife, I found myself at the Black Cat in the Tenderloin, a consistent place to spend evenings out." - Eater Staff
"She remembers going to Black Cat with now-Last Call general manager Rachel Sergi to order affordable Long Island Iced Teas early in her career — “That was the most liquor for the cheapest amount of money you could get on 14th Street 20 years ago when we were poor,” she says." - Tierney Plumb
"At Black Cat the food still stole the show despite lively music: scallops were meaty and topped with a pepita-cilantro salsa, mushrooms, and espellete-mandarin notes, while the cocktail program provided a musical, convivial backdrop to the genius of the kitchen." - Eater Staff
"After a 20-month hiatus, live music venue Black Cat is back to throw a 9th Annual “Eighties Mayhem” dance party on Saturday, October 30, with DJs Steve EP, Missguided, and Killa K. Doors at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Costumes are encouraged." - Tierney Plumb
"I’m excited the bar has sauntered back open with strong cocktails, a fresh menu, and live jazz: barman Jason Moser revamped the list (including the “Vaxed” cocktail with 12‑year Scotch, cognac, grapefruit, lemon, vanilla, and peach‑honey syrup), chef Yainiel Negrón is serving shrimp “brandade” croquettes and pork belly sliders on pan sabao, and Theo Croker kicks off the jazz sessions — proof of vaccination is required at the door." - Becky Duffett
