Cocktails, fish & chips, vintage whiskey decanters

























"There are boujee cocktail bars in the Tenderloin, despite any well-intentioned Karens saying otherwise. In fact, there are bars in the Tenderloin that are straight up gorgeous, such as the case with Bottle Club Pub. Fish and chips are on the menu alongside the powerhouse drinks which range from “reviving and refreshing” to “bold will hold.”" - Paolo Bicchieri


"Bottle Club Pub is in that squishy area that’s maybe Union Square and maybe Tenderloin, but makes it onto this list for many reasons. Bottle Club’s association with the Future Bars group is an indicator that visitors will get strong, well-crafted cocktails with a showstopper element — in this case, an enormous bottle and decanter collection situated on rotating shelves. Plus the pub has a small but mighty food menu featuring fish and chips, a smash burger, and fried chicken. It’s also kid-friendly during the day if you have little ones in tow." - Dianne de Guzman


"At Future Bar’s new plaid-and-neon-green Bottle Club Pub I happily indulged in updated dessert cocktails—like the Mudslide Slim, which balances Irish and French creams with Abuelita Mexican hot chocolate and cinnamon—keeping the fun of boozy-dessert drinks but with a modern eye toward balance." - Eater Staff

"Future Bars' new Union Square bar opening March 23 features dramatic 20-foot rotating shelves of vintage whiskey decanters and an inaugural modest food menu for the group known for theatrical bars." - Paolo Bicchieri
"We like going to Bottle Club Pub—the retro-themed bar near Union Square—to admire the huge collection of vintage ceramic whiskey decanters, and watch the mechanical shelves stocked with shiny bottles of alcohol slowly move from floor to ceiling. The displays are mesmerizing, and best experienced alongside creamy dessert cocktails, shaken and stirred drinks, whiskey from their obscenely long list—and maybe some fries from the short food menu. Even better is that you can stroll into this place with whatever you decided to wear that day. So expect to trade life stories with suited types, adult backpack crews, and tourists who didn’t get the memo on dressing for Bay Area weather." - Lani Conway
