Cole Valley Tavern

The happy hour prices: very good The wings: Good texture. They could use some more flavor/heat or ranch. No ranch available other than a very dilly dill sauce. I love the super thin veggie strips. The tots: good but too salty The beer selection: very limited. I would come again for happy hour with my own ranch and hot sauce. Can’t really complain for the price.

Invited to join friends at CVT. My first time here. The specialty drinks were a little too precious for a Boomer like me but others (Gen-X & Millennials) at the table enjoyed them. I went with a classic three olive wet martini, and it was excellent. Gin, of course. I shouldn't have to say that because If you want to call it a martini, it's gin. Forewarned by another review that their Steak Frites is not like you'd expect from a classic French brasserie. That was true. It was better. Delicious. Steak medium rare and flavorful. Sauce excellent. Fries with a lot of garlic - the way I like it.

I hadn't been to this corner bar location since before March 2020. WOW, what a welcome update to the place! A friend and I met for happy hour cocktails and snacks. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside, with dappled sunlight for an hour, and a lively, neighborhoody street scene. 🫰🏻 I grabbed a small soft-serve swirl ice cream from the walk-up window while waiting for my friend to arrive. It reminded me of childhood, and was the perfect portion size. 🫶🏻 The bartender and service staff were pleasant, capable, and efficient. 💪🏻 We each had 2 of the weekly signature cocktail specials: Something) Crown, of vodka, lime, and house made hibiscus liqueur. They were pretty and delicious. We also ordered hummus with flatbread and chicken skewers. The flavors were delicious, with the light drizzle of chili spiced oil with the hummus, scallion flatbread, and teriyaki brushed chicken & scallion skewers. The chicken was perfectly moist and tender! I am likely late to the party because the Cole Valley Tavern is an A+ place for quality cocktails, good food, a variety of different vibes (inside & outside), and spot on service. 👏🏻

Great little neighborhood bar! Bartender was super friendly and patient, made some great custom local drinks and cocktails and everybody around us that was eating food seem to be enjoying it greatly. Absolutely coming back

Sat at the bar and loved the service, food, and overall atmosphere. The bartender had great recommendations and was very friendly. The tavern also has a wonderful neighborhood-y feel to it!

Cute, unpretentious, and adorable. Good food right in the heart of Cole Valley❤️ Walked in out of nowhere to this place and had a delicious meal.

Hands down one of the smash burgers I ever had. The sauce is outstanding. The fish and chips were to die for. The service was outstanding. Could get a faster service of food. We received our drinks then right after the food was served. Thank you so much for the service.

We like the food, service can be sluggish when packed inside and out but worthwhile overall.

A great neighborhood bar with a little sass! The menu is new American with some hints of asian fusion such as kimchi 1000 island sauce (delish). Docking 1 star due to the lack of up front wait staff. There was nobody to greet us or seat us so we sat ourselves. We ordered the smash burger without onions and fries and loaded up on cocktails and beers. We ordered off the menu cocktails and they were amazing! Would I come back? Absolutely Would I recommend it to a friend? Sure!

We visited Cole valley tavern to meet with local friends in SF. It boasts indoor and outdoor seating, that is comfortable for a bar atmosphere and families/kids alike (we had two toddlers in our group). I didn't try the food, but cocktails were exceptional and the servers were incredibly attentive and kind with checking on us despite having a huge group with small squirmy kiddos. Happy hour was a pretty calm time, but there was a bit of a dinner rush around 6pm. Those who had food in our group were pleased. Definitely a good spot to catch up with friends and converse with fabulous people watching!

I ordered the Butternut Rigatoni to go. It was good but the pasta was hard by the time I brought it home. I also ordered the yakitori chicken skewers and was not happy with them. My siblings also thought the same

My husband and were originally heading to Beit Rima for dinner, but saw Cole Valley Tavern, and had been wanting to try it for a while! So we said why not change our plans!!! I'm so glad we did. We came here on a Sunday evening, and were seated right away, as it was pretty empty at this time. There are lots of cozy booths available, and hopefully you'll get the chance to sit in one too! They also have a fun bar seating area, if you have a smaller party. They have high chairs available, which was fantastic, as my little one enjoyed dining here too. My husband, daughter and I shared the Smoked Garlic Hummus for an appetizer, which was decent. We mostly got it for my daughter so she could eat something soft. I did like the hummus though, good flavor, with raw veggies that made me feel somewhat less guilty. I got their Smash Burger for my entree, which was a HUGE win. It was just something I was craving for that moment in time - greasy, satisfying, delicious. you can ask for 1 or 2 patties, I'm glad I opted for the 1 patty, as I think 2 patties might have tipped the ratio just a little too much. The other highlight of the dish was the FRENCH FRIES!!! They were big, handcut fries - my absolute favorite, which are hard to come by these days. My husband got the fish and chips, which he found equally satisfying. Drinks were great too - loved my Superbloom Martini! I also really LOVED the local art they have displayed here on their walls, which they switch out every now and then. I loved the San Francisco/Sunset District themed art that was displayed here in late April. When I asked the waitress about the artist, she didn't know who was displayed on the wall, but she was helpful in that she texted her manager, who got back to her, and told us that John Musgrove was the artist! Fantastic - loved the art so much, i ended up buying his art later on. I can't wait to return to try more items, or even just revisit their good burger and cocktails, and see the new local art!

Great service and an even better breakfast sandwich if you come for brunch. Love the eggs, cheese, and kimchi sauce. They also have nice drinks for brunch! Nice bar, good place for date night, girls' night out, or for families. Smash burger and dinner items are also good--there's something for everyone.

What happened CVT?!?!?!? Did you change chefs? We used to come here almost weekly. Decided to give this one more try but it was the same disappointing "new"? menu that's such a far cry from the menu a year ago. Salads were flavorless (we used to rave that they made the best Caesar salad we'd ever had in the area). Salmon was overcooked. Shrimp was just okay. And the drinks sound similar, some are close to what they were, but come on, changing the gummy bears for the Dancing Bear cocktail (which is now a little bland). Thankfully the Grapefruit Serrano n.a. cocktail is still good but not the same. If anyone knows where the old kitchen went.... Please dm me. Menu is not even a shadow of what it was. Vibe is also completely off. Loud 80s pop mix, pushy staff suggesting a new drink when your current is half full? No thank you. Such a shame. Big loss for the old neighborhood.

They have an excellent smash burger and great cocktails. The beer selection is on the small side, but there are some great choices. I don't understand why they're not open for lunch or brunch on the weekends anymore, it always seemed pretty crowded (and their bloody mary is one of the best in town, but that's not exactly a nighttime cocktail!)

I had a delightful dinner on a Friday night at this casual diner with a bar in the middle, where they were playing the Warriors game. Fortunately, there was no wait, and we were seated promptly. The coconut mussels were outstanding, earning a solid 5/5 with a flavorful blend of coconut and lime in the sauce. We couldn't stop dipping our burger and tatter tots in the sauce. Another highlight was the miso salmon salad, featuring perfectly cooked salmon atop a Caesar salad with thick shaved Parmesan cheese, also deserving of a 5/5. The smoked chowder provided an interesting twist with a rating of 4/5, particularly enjoyable on a cold day. However, the Dancing Bear cocktail, while okay, was somewhat ordinary- reminiscent of a standard Moscow Mule, with the uniqueness mainly in the cup. I would recommend skipping the soft serve, Philly hot dog, and smash burger. The service was attentive, consistently clearing our table despite its smaller size. Be prepare to pay for sf mandated, county, state and special tax on your bill. Overall, it's a notable spot worth checking out if you're ever in the area.

I like Cole Valley..I must tell you that somebody met at a group meetup in 2003 and said they will try to meet at Cole Valley(crepes)..I wanted to go back to Cole Valley and I was younger then. It's quiet...you can go to cafe or eat at restaurant..this place has a take-out window with hot dogs and soft serve..fun! Homey!

Good food, everything came out really quickly (we briefly mentioned we were seeing a movie after and hoped to be quick) but mostly writing about the service from who I believe to be the manager or owner- I asked him to bring an ice cream sundae to the table to surprise my partner (we were celebrating) , fully expecting to still pay for it at the end of the meal. He seemed genuinely excited to do it, and it was absolutely perfect. My partner was so happy. Once I got the bill, I noticed he comped the sundae! I didn't choose the cheapest dessert on the menu as I was fully expecting to pay for it, but it was incredibly gracious and kind of him and truly made the experience special.

My daughter brought me here just for the $3.50 soft serve ice cream that comes in vanilla, chocolate or swirl of both flavors. It was a delightful dessert! From the outside, this place looks like an old Irish tavern, but the inside has an inviting diner feel with table booths and a bar. Service seemed friendly. Gone in just for the restroom. Will return for some real grub!

Came here for drinks with coworkers on a friday afternoon and sat in their cozy parklet. We only ordered drinks and fries, but they were delicious. Their lunch fries come with a kimchi 1000 island dip which are a nice touch. Our server was also super attentive despite us being the only party in the parklet at times. The interior is gorgeous, and I'd love to come back and enjoy an afternoon inside!

We were in the area and looking for a place to grab a drink and walked in here with two dogs. The location is great and right in the middle of a lot, and was packed with locals from the neighborhood. They were slammed and short-staffed but were still very good about checking-in. We had a few glasses of wine that was enjoyed by all and for food the tots were very tasty. I also had the pineapple skewers which were pretty great too!

Looking for a new restaurant to try? Add Cole Valley Tavern to your list! This neighborhood bar serves up some incredible west coast comfort food and imaginative cocktails. The vibe is warm and inviting and the staff are super accommodating. Whether you're looking for a happy hour snack and drink, or a restaurant to meet up friends and family for a sit down meal, Cole Valley Tavern checks all the boxes. I loved the mussels which were cooked in a coconut broth that had me wanting to drink it straight out of the bowl. The yakatori grilled chicken skewers were so flavorful and the Haight Street Steak Frites came out at a perfect medium rare. We had some sharable dishes as well which included the roasted cauliflower and shrimp Louie salad. Both of which were amazing compliments to the whole spread. To wash everything down, we ordered two drinks off of their cocktail menu. The 'Outlandish Manhattan', and the 'Ginger Bear'. The Outlandish Manhattan was balanced and not too scotch forward making it easily palatable. The ginger beer was non-alcoholic and tasted like the best lemonade of your life. No joke! For dessert, they brought out the soft serve flight! Why choose one when you can have them all! Cole Valley Tavern has become a regular spot for me and my friends and I don't see that changing. I have a feeling if you give it a try, it will probably become one of yours as well!

We dined here on Sunday, the 12th. The food was so healthy, fresh and delicious. The drinks were strong, inventive and tasty! The staff was friendly, prompt, responsive, etc. I can't remember our server's name but she was awesome! Thanks for your hospitality! Can't wait to return!

Short review: Service is still A1, menu has rotated to introduce new items, good beers on tap, place was busy but clean/organized. Beef Tataki has dethroned scampi fries as the MVP. Long Review: Came back on a Saturday night solo since I was in the area and I'm glad I did. They changed the menu for what I am assuming is for seasonal flavors? Either way I tried some of their new items and was impressed. The Beef Tataki: must-have. It is very rare slices of steak with a peppery sauce beneath, topped with garlic chips. It was top-notch, and as a heads up, it doesn't taste as raw as the photos make it look. Also had the smoked garlic hummus... the combination of the hummus with the flat bread was and shoutout to the seemingly scratch made flat bread. Pineapple wings are worth noting too. They were a good size and still crispy even with the pineapple glaze sauce. And of course I ordered the scampi fries, which were exactly how I remembered them from last time. The last thing I had was the new skewers they added - both the pork belly & pineapple and the chicken & scallion. They were charred very well and tasty, although I did prefer the pork belly one to the chicken. PS - quick shout to the Ghost Town Hazy IPA they had on tap, that was a top-tier hazy. It was a busy Saturday night in there and the staff handled it well.

At some point, I'll find myself in the tavern itself. I pass by it all the time when I'm riding by on the N train heading west toward Ocean Beach. After all, the menu features inviting comfort food like smoked meat loaf and pozole. I think for a casual neighborhood intruder like me, the addition of the takeout window was a wise and welcome idea. That's because I'm usually around between meals when I'm walking through Cole Valley. I took advantage and enjoyed the $4.50 cup of Straus Organic Soft Serve on the bench next to the window. Twist, of course, and a refreshing treat after scaling Twin Peaks (photo: https://bit.ly/3nNsxxa). And I can have the soft serve with my pozole the next time I come here. SOFT SERVE - 4 stars...smooth and refreshing snack AMBIANCE - 4 stars...gee, I can really just talk about the bench SERVICE - 4 stars...very friendly to outsiders TOTAL - 4 stars...ready for the pozole now RELATED - Exploring the Sunset? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2EI8eIJ

Came here randomly and i really enjoyed this bar! i came here after eating dinner with my friend and i ended up getting the lemonade because i was driving. the other word was a bit too strong for me, but i typically don't like martini type drinks. my friend really enjoyed it though! staff is super nice and loved the ambiance of this bar.

I had a great time here. I went alone and sat at the bar and immediately felt like me and the bartenders were friends. I drank 3 different drinks and they were all great! Ordered the salmon Caesar salad, super good!! I didn't know they had soft serve. I will be back for that immediately!

This place is super cute and is located in Cole Valley which is one of my favorite neighborhoods in San Francisco. I came for brunch with my boyfriend and family. They have a lot of options here. The drinks are cute and they have a pretty extensive brunch cocktail menu which I love! I got the lox toast which was good for a bit but then was just too salty and overpowering towards the end. I would still probably go back and try something else.

I have mixed feeling about Cole Valley Tavern and will say it's a 3.5. When it's good, it's a solid 4 but quality seems to vary a lot. The Good: Friendly Neighborhood Spot. Bar seating, table seating, booth seating,. Cute Decor, good cocktails. Burgers (smash and impossible) are solid, fries very good. Tots just okay. Fish and Chips (I sub salad for chips) is great most of the time, is sometimes very greasy. Salads are superb. The bad: The service is inconsistent. We have been brought the wrong order multiple times, had items on our bill that were not ours, did not receive drinks until midway through the meal. The staff is usually very friendly but hard to catch the eye of sometimes when you want the bill or catsup, or more water. The menu is quite small. The Chicken Sandwich, which I had tonight, was truly awful. The chicken was greasy (like with streams of oil dripping out)l cucumbers (not pickles) and mayo. The bun was stale. It had almost no flavor beyond the taste taste of the oil, which tasted more like fish than chicken. It was a horrendous disappointment and I think it will be a while before I venture back here. The location is so cute and convenient. I hope they pull things together.

THE. BRUNCH. HERE. The menu may seem small but I'm telling you it makes ordering so fast, easy, and once you try the food, you'll realize you can't go wrong no matter what you order. We were a group of 3 and the kind waitress helped us order. The chicken and waffles were simply divine and the breakfast sandwich and burger were MOUTH WATERING. If you love brunch, this place is for you!!

I came to Cole Valley Tavern again, this time for my birthday lunch! Last time we ate here, we were sat at the booths right next to the bar. I didn't even know there was another room with tables. Our group of 9 were all sat together at one long table, which was nice. Service is always really good here, and drinks were ordered straight away. I got a pilsner and the fried fish sandwich with fries. The food took a little bit to come out, but everything came out around the same time. The fried fish sandwich comes on a croissant, which was a surprise, but it was still good if a bit messy. The fish was freshly fried and was nicely flakey, though I wouldn't have minded if it was crispier. I liked the curried tartar sauce that came on the sandwich. The fries were really good, they were quartered baby potatoes so they were like mini thick-cut fries. Frying them in beef tallow gave it such a nice flavor and solid crisp. Seasoned with salt on top and with a side of kimchi thousand island, these delicious fries might have been my favorite part of the meal. My team also ordered the fish and chips, smashburger, and steak sandwich and everyone liked their food. The team even brought out soft serve with fudge and sprinkles and sang for my birthday, which was such a nice surprise. Overall, the service is always so amazing, but the elevated bar food is what brings me back!

I love this place so much! Drinks are delicious and I have never ordered something that I did not love. Their menu rotates so I was sad when I brought my mom back to try something that was no longer on the menu, but I wasn't sad for long because omg our food was so good. The steak frites: to die for. The spicy minty fresh fish tacos: I dream about them. The fish chowder: no words it's just so yummy. I love coming here and I'm sure you will too.

I went there with my 5.5 year old son and the food and ambience were exactly what I needed. Food = super tasty, interesting, fresh. Ambiance = lively, lots of other families with kids.

Super friendly staff, excellent burger, and their cocktails are beast. Its a great additional to the neighborhood. Always feel very welcomed.

Finally had a chance to check this place out. Excellent job renovating a neighborhood spot and bringing it back to life. Great food, great vibe and staff. We even got to spend some time with the owner. If you're in San Francisco this spot is a must. PS, shout out to the dancing bear drink, which was equally delicious!

We love it here! Great cocktails, cute ambiance, good service. We sit outside in the nice weather or inside at the bar!

Just the place for informal indoor or outside seating, a yummy menu, full bar, nice people, all in Cole Valley (a charming and friendly neighborhood). From fish tacos to classic burgers to fish and chips and fresh salads, CVT's got it. Don't miss their window (on Carl), where you'll find hot dogs, Bloody Marys, and--the soft serve ice cream of your dreams! (If you, like me, adore soft serve, I swear there's not an ice crystal to be found, just silky smooth swoony perfection.) Parking's a challenge on weekends, but lucky for you, the Muni stops across the street.

A restaurant is supposed to be a pleasant, relaxing experience. The pace of the waiters was frenetic. They were actually running at times. Twice we heard glass breaking and things being dropped. They didn't bring water glasses for 20 minutes or take our order.The waitress was lacking any interactive charm and short tempered. I tried to order the steak frites medium and was told it only comes medium rare, no exceptions. So I changed to the Butternut Rigatoni which was undercooked, extremely chewy and dense without a particularly flavorful sauce. The waitress never asked how our meal was or checked on us. It was challenging to flag her for the check. I think this place is understaffed and the menu is limited. The warm olives were good. They need more appetizers. $71 later with mediocre food and service I don't think I'm going back anytime soon.

Always a good experience--I wish they hadn't changed their smoked cod soup recipe, though

What a place! We took the kids to the Cod Damn pop-up on Monday night and it was incredible. The space itself is beautiful with a big, well stocked bar welcoming you in. The tables and booths are all very clean and comfortable giving you a nice modern pub vibe. The service was friendly, on point, and welcoming. I wasn't sure if this was the kind of place to bring young kids, but at 6pm on a Monday it DEFINTELY is. The gave us crayons and coloring books and the Cod Damn menu has a little guppies section with kid-sized fish and chips, chicken tenders, burgers. We all had the cod (of course) and it was the best I've had outside of the UK (maybe the best I've ever had). Great beers, food and service, what more can you ask for?! We will definitely be back -- one of my new favorite places in the city. PS: The bathroom reminder to wash hands sums up how magical this place is!

Tasty, well-made cocktails. Very attentive service. Hip but unpretentious vibe. We popped in for a quick cocktail before heading to a dinner party nearby. We ordered the Superbloom Martini which has gin and elderflower. The queso and chips were bomb!

Woah this is hands down the best gluten free burger I've had in the Bay Area and I've tried a lot of them! It's right up there with Lovely's gf burger in Oakland. I ordered the CVT deluxe burger and the cheese skirt (a nod to Squeeze-In no doubt) did not disappoint. After taking a bite of the skirt I folded the edges inside the burger for max flavor. The bun on this burger is so soft and warm which is rare for gf buns. The fries are fried in the same fryer as other gluten items so I got the salad and it was really good. Lots of fresh flavors and crisp textures, and the acid cut the richness of the burger perfectly. For cocktails I ordered the Dancing Bear and Lady Made #6. Both were refreshing and delicious. The Dancing Bear cup is tops!

I love Cole valley tavern and come here regularly! Drinks are fantastic and food is delicious, service is always extremely friendly and efficient. I do wish their menu had a few more options but I still completely recommend this spot!

Overall a solid new spot in the Cole Valley neighborhood with a wide selection of cocktails. I've been for brunch and lunch. The portion size is small for the price, but the flavors were yummy. I also really appreciate the unique takes on classic dishes. For example, the chicken & waffles has a cornmeal waffle, the breakfast sandwich has sautéed kale, etc... I can't wait for this place to hit its groove and I hope the pricing can get dialed in a little more.

What a wonderful spot! We walked over from the Academy of Science and enjoyed such a lovely meal! The beverages were delicious and the fish and chips were some of the best we've had in the city. Service was warm and welcoming as well. The ambiance was comfortable and retro, but not really a tavern style, though this took nothing away from our experience. Will definitely return for lunch in this charming area of SF!

Wonderful service and the food is phenomenal. The bar area is lively while the dining area is relaxed. I wish they brought back their 2 page menu (huge fan if unique items like the Chicken Liver Mousse) CVT deserves your attention and $$$

Fish and chips was literally the most delicious I've ever had. Fish chowder was delicious as well. Excited to try the rest of menu. 10/10 location too next to muni

Stopped by for a late brunch, and were blown away by the food and service. We had among the four of us Avocado Toast, Huevos Rancheros, Shrimp Louis, and Miso Salmon Caesar were all extraordinary. Great Bloody Marys, too!

We came up from San Jose with a recommendation to try Zazie for brunch. Unfortunately there were 36 parties ahead of us on the wait list and we had tickets to an event. We walked up and down the block and came upon Cole Valley Tavern on the corner and decided to give it a shot Big open space and welcoming staff made our entrance pleasurable. We soon found out that they had recently started serving brunch and boy are we happy they did. I had the melon cucumber parfait with sheep's mill yogurt, fennel, and house made granola. Every bite delicious. Just wish there was a little more. The side waffle I ordered helped and was light and airy, perfect. My girlfriend has the hot Alabama chicken and waffle and was the best she's had In a long time. The chicken had some kick but not too much and was juicy. Our nephew had the CVT sandwich and it was gone before I got to the waffle. He enjoyed from start to finish. He also had the blueberry mint lemonade which we all had a sip and loved. I also had a couple cocktails. The blueberry coffee martini was fantastic. Creamy and hit the spot. I had the Breakfast in Bed, a bourbon based drink which was tasty but, to me, not quite as unique ot special as the martini. Highly recommend avoiding the crowds at other known brunch spots and hit up CVT for an all around pleasurable meal.

Cod and chips for $40? Too many people working and on their phones. Chowder was not made correctly and served cold

I was on my way to the de young one Sunday morning and spied this restaurant while enroute, after enjoying the art and exhibitions I made my way back and boy am I happy I did. It was a rare beautiful Sunday summer afternoon and I drank it in plus three cocktails and the special breakfast brunch sandwich they had on the menu. It was all delicious, who knew carnitas with eggs on a croissant would be an unbeatable pairing; wash it down with a fun mimosa, honey bear, or the summer special spritz. I will definitely be back to sample more. Lastly the staff was very very nice and professional

When I walked in I was immediately greeted and welcomed like a member of the family coming home for a visit. You step in and feel the classy vintage vibe that resembles the neighborhood it sits among. Mondays they feature " Cod Damn" where I highly recommend their ceviche and fish and chips. Being a self appointed fry snob their hand cut fries are rave worthy along with the " chippy sauce". As always, the drinks are made high quality ingredients and are beautiful in appearance. Thanks Jim for creating a beautiful space in the neighborhood to meet friends or have a date night.

Lloyds soft serve? What happened to Strauss? I used to crave the soft serve and now you're serving Lloyds. It is terrible, doesn't taste like vanilla or chocolate. Very bad texture as well. I will not be returning and hope you bring back Strauss ASAP.

The owner of this place is unfortunately not friendly towards children and women. We are very disappointed about the experience, and feel hurt by it, because we live in the neighborhood, and this could have been our go-to place. I was excited to take my friend for brunch with my 9 month old baby. The owner gave us a high chair with broken safety belt. He said I could just put the baby in without the harness seat belt, which would be absolutely unsafe since the baby can fall. I pointed it out him to ask for another chair for my child's safety. He cut me off before I finished and insisted that was all he had. However, I've been to this restaurant before with a safe high chair when it was a server that served us. I shared that with him, and he brought the other high chair with a better safety belt. It was still half broken but at least can be buckled. I explained to him the safety belt that can be buckled is what I was looking for for baby's safety. He then got mad and yelled to me, "ok, you are right, I'm wrong. Is this what you want???" Living in San Francisco for years, we have been to many restaurants. I have never encountered this kind of attitude, especially coming from the owner of the restaurant. It's important to make sure young children (sitting with a seat belt) and women/mothers (not being yelled at when you simply want to make sure your child's safety) feel safe. I hope the owner of the restaurant take this opportunity to improve his knowledge about high chair safety and his attitude towards female customers.

I've been here once. There won't be a second time. I met a friend in this place last Saturday for a pre-dinner cocktail. I sat at the bar, where there were several others drinking already. My interactions were entirely with the older bartender. There was a younger guy who, for the sake of being clear, was taller, bald, and extremely attentive and friendly. Sadly, he was not serving me until I needed the check. I dislike having to write reviews like this, but I think it's very important to do it. It took me about 15 minutes to get the attention of the bartender who was standing within feet of me the entire time. He did not even make eye contact. Forget about a greeting. When he finally turned to me--after making drinks for people who clearly entered after me--he was unfriendly. Curt would be an inaccurate and more positive descriptor. When he finally addressed me he responded in a mumble, slightly above the threshold of audibility. So, you could say he was curt-plus. There was no argument. No scene. Just a very unpleasant cocktail bar because of a really arrogant bartender. Sure, I could return and seek out the friendly option, but I prefer not to reward businesses that endorse that kind of behavior in any employee. I realize this was an interaction but, frankly, I cannot believe I had anything to do with it because, despite my efforts, I had no interaction with him until I ordered. And at that point, all I did was smile, ask him about a couple of the wines and liquors, and then order my drink. The good news for you is I can promise you there will be one more seat at the bar. Maybe you'll have better luck.
