Elements Bar & Lounge

This lounge has a nice vibe, music, and atmosphere. The cocktails were unique and well crafted. I ordered the floral gin and it was smooth and had a floral fruity flavor. The Samurai was what my wife ordered and it had a cool bubble filled with mist. Amazing! The garlic fries were excellent as well. The bartender was very friendly and helpful.

I think Elements Bar and Lounge has been flying under the radar. They have a very unique drink selection and theme, and they are situated on the 4th floor of a prime location building. They offer an intimate experience with an elevated vibe and setting. It’s the perfect place to get cool drinks in a quite and somewhat hidden (in a good way) lounge. It’s drinks can compete with some of the best in the city and has a vibe that makes it stand out versus their competitors. Their bartenders are very skilled and attentive, I didn’t try any of the food but strictly speaking about the drinks, this place is very good!

Discovered this place looking for a bar with good eats through their association with O. I've been to many restaurants and bars so I was pleasantly surprised to find that Elements is at the top of both. The drinks are innovative and delicious. The bar food is spot on and reminded me of three different restaurants which I loved and yet they surprised each of them. I recommend the charcuterie board and crispy onion tart. Desserts are not optional here. I tried the apple pie and it was sublime; make sure to stop by the ground floor for more sweets before you leave. Service was spot on. The ambience is very chill which suits me to a tee. Elements Bar and Lounge is definitely on my short list for going out.

Beautiful cocktail bar and lounge. I only had one drink but it was incredible! Atmosphere is super chill.

This is one of our favorite bar in SF. It is sophisticated, and serve a wide selection of whiskey, wine and signature cocktails. Their cocktails menu have elemental themes: Air, Water Fire, and Earth, all with beautiful presentations. And the menu also changes with the changing seasons to match the feel of the environment outside. The best part is they have everything from appetizers, to savory snacks to go with the drink, and a small bite size dessert that is perfect for drinking. Don't miss it.

Went there during happy hour. It's on the 4th of a commercial building. It's comfy and not bad for large groups, plenty of seats. There is also a dessert spot on the ground floor. Drinks wise is more on the sweet side. Cod fried balls are tasty 😋. The staff are pretty friendly! One of them is a dead ringer for Camila cabello. Would come back when I visit!

We were on a diet of 168 so Elements opened at 3:30 pm is perfect for me, we can just had our early dinner here & yet it's "happy hour price". From 3:30 to 5, the bar is so quiet, I think it's a good idea and good time to bring company team members for your own happy hour, basically you own the floor. Also the food is delicious, the small bites the 2 desserts, the food here is high end restaurant quality. On our way up, we were welcomed by a chocolate chef who invited us to take a look at the second floor and snap some photos. On our way back, we encountered a chef who invited us to O' by Claude Le Tohic on the sixth floor for a glimpse of fine dining. She even mentioned that "walk-ins" were welcome. I can't wait to try the last part of One 65, which we haven't yet experienced due to our 168 diet. > < I love every single staff member in this building. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming that I feel like I am in Europe.

Great, great, great place! Service,food, drinks, ambience,BUT... place like this just screaming for a relaxing quiet music,so people could enjoy the rear miracle of talking to each other. Not shouting like in a well drinks bar . Management! Please! Spare this beautiful place from absolutely unnecessary DJ with absolutely incompatible music selection and ambience destroying volume.

A very cute lounge with amazing drinks! I got the Madagascar twist & my fiancée got the espresso martini. Both were very delicious. Service was great and the ambiance is a dim sexy place - great for talking while having drinks.

Bookmarked this place for a while, finally got a chance to try out during my stay in SF. We came after dinner late , kitchen was closed, so we couldn't try their food. Service was ok. Music was not too loud, Ambiance was like semi elegant bar, classy bar, not WOW. Drinks were just OK for the classy espresso martini, when it comes to a more fun cocktail choice, we ordered the one with bubble, it was fun, but you get them everywhere, nothing really surprising, taste was not for me, we couldn't finish neither of our drinks before leaving this place. Overall, ok if you want a classic bar to have a talk, but would suggest maybe ordering their classy cocktails instead of the "fun" cocktails.

As soon as we neared the entrance we were greeted by a man who took us inside and to the elevator, he pushed the button and sent us up to the lounge. As soon as I walked in i said 'WOW" its absolutely gorgeous inside. Dark, intimate and very glam. Quiet so you can have a conversation and hear the other people you are with. The bartender was very friendly and respectful. We ordered drinks and food, all of it great. It's a great space for a special occasion, or to impress. They have their own specialty cocktails as well as a good list of wines, beer etc. There are small plates to share and they were very tasty, this is not typical bar food, it's restaurant worthy. It was a very pleasant and special experience.

What a lovely bar! Found myself here with a friend visiting from out of town. We found it by chance since we were walking to a parking garage, but the music and energy called us in. The crowd was typical, 30+ professionals out on a Friday. The bar was busy, but the bartenders were keeping up with the orders. Since we sat at the bar, I got to watch the bartender work and after ordering a very well made bourbon manhattan, I threw out an older cocktail and the bartender knocked the slow Gin Fizz out of the park! The drinks were great, presentation lovely and the customer service very warm and welcoming. Glad to have found this place. Will certainly add it to the rotation.

This is my new go to lounge in SF if I want to enjoy ambiance, cocktails, and light appetizers. The space is so sexy and the dj never disappoints.

Love the service and ambiance of this bar. The perfect place to go to after a dinner date or with a small group of friends. The place is festive yet intimate. The drinks are delicious and on the stronger side and they're not too expensive from SF standards. Would 100% return

Exactly what millennials want and need: reasonable volume music, reasonable priced food and drink, and a classy but fun VIBE. Quality: 4.5 Value: 5 (for SF) Service: 4 Ambience: 5 This place has great happy hour deals and a really great set of decor and music. You can hear yourself talk! But the music is also good. What a concept! Service was a little mid; one of the servers wasn't in a great mood/was struggs but the rest were nice, and stuff came out eventually. The cocktails were GREAT! Really delightful choices and prices. Their happy hour deal on oysters is also pretty unheard of: $1.50 each and they were wonderful, briny and creamy. French fries were also great, as was the ceviche. Also, the ceviche we had was one of the best I've ever had.

What fun cocktails and amusing snacks! My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed Happy Hour at this dark lounge with urban ambiance. I loved the concept of a different atmosphere and style of cuisine on every floor. We had chosen Elements because we needed a handicapped accessible,place with easy parking options to meet up for happy hour. My foodie friend Barbara who was also on crutches approved of the menu. After parking at the Ellis O'Farrell garage next door, the concierge shepherded two of us into the elevator and pushed the button for the 4th floor. We were led to a comfortable booth with banquette seating and while waiting for our third party we ordered cocktails and truffle fries. I absolutely adored my Floral Fixation cocktail with Kettle One and butterfly pea powder as well as elderflower and citrus. It was gorgeous and the lavender rose ice cube enchanted us all. i dropped my purple rose into the floral, iced tea that we ordered( this was destination number one of two and we needed stamina as well as sustenance for the 80s themed birthday party that we were attending. Speaking of sustenance the fries were crispy, Wagyu meatballs were great and served along with a syrupy glaze that brought them over the top. The charcuterie board I would have skipped and was mostly prosciutto roses. I enjoyed the decadent paté, but the pickled vegetables in the center of the plate gave a yummy, vinegary pop of freshness. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was unobtrusive and comfortable enough to enjoy my amazing friends in their element. A wonderful option if one finds themselves feeling peckish or in need of respite and a cocktail in Union Square.

This was such a surprising find! It's a very nicely decorated and great ambiance bar tucked inside One65 patisserie on the 4th floor! There was live music (DJ and saxophone performer), really comfy booths and delicious drinks. The service was great too and they're open to making custom drinks if you tell them what you want! Definitely check it out if you're looking for a place to catch up with friends or go on a date!

FOOD: patés were so yummy, however, their version of a "charcuterie" board was literally 2 types of paté and then some type of tuna salad? and then like 4-6 small tiny pieces of a salami which tasted whatever SERVICE: not great. we were the only table there and the waiter somehow added a cheese board in there when we only ordered 2 things? and then when we told them after seeing the bill (we assumed the cheese would be part of the charcuterie we ordered given that's what charcuterie typically entails), he said he would check and nothing happened, he told the other server that our friend who left ordered it (which he didn't, he also thought the cheese board was included in charcuterie) we still ended up having to pay for it :) bad experience. the crinkle cut fries were good though. AMBIANCE: nice but we were the only people in there and their happy hour ends at 5:30 (which is probably why we were the only people in there). we thought it ended at 6:30 like all the yelp reviews had said!!

Decided to check this place out after seeing that they had happy hour that ends at 6pm. It had an upscale vibe and the drinks tasted like they were made with higher quality ingredients

Located on the 4/fl of the 160 building. We had happy hour $1 oysters, a Crimson cocktail $15 and Beer. We sat at the bar and saw a huge collection of libations. At the back, a glass display case holds the private brandy bottles from regulars. Nice ambience. Great staff and great service.

Hella cute and poppin' playlist! Fancy drinks and a great space for a date night or a small gathering. It's in a shared building so you'll have to take the elevator up to their floor. I love the concept of their drinks under each element. They also serve light bites too. It's dim in there but not too much that you can't see the menu. The staff is friendly too. I don't usually like mezcal but their foreign language was yummy. Definitely can't wait to come back here again and maybe try some of their food.

Luis is a fantastic bartender! His creations are innovative, thoughtful, and delicious! So happy we saw the Happy Hour last week on our way to the garage. We loved it so much, we're back today! Sitting at the bar right now watching Luis mix up magic! Update: Our drinks tonight were crazy good! Luis is a gem!

The prices in happy hour are not much cheaper but the food was great and so was the service.

Great cocktail + food, same building/owner with Michelin star restaurant. Would definitely go for another occasion but probably too pricy for random drinks. Went on a Friday night and the bar is pretty empty. We made a reservation but didn't seem to have to. Floral fixation - I asked for a drink that's good for people who can't drink a lot and our server recommended it. It tastes very fruity and the taste of alc is indeed very light! Hamachi sashimi - came out different than we expected, the bases tastes a bit too salty. French fries - as expected. Lobster toast - surprisingly a lot of lobster! Very filling and tastes fresh. Price depends on how many drinks are ordered but for is it was ~$50 per person post tax and tip. The environment is super nice and quite - can definitely have a good conversation.

The hours are limited but the staff was warm in conversational fireplace was nice I look forward to coming when it's open again. To have a toast to peace

The nicest host ever! Too tired from shopping, took all her recommendations and she didn't do me wrong. Loved that I was there way early to enjoy the calmness before the nightlife started. Food was delicious and the cocktail was extra pretty too! What's missing is the wagyu meatballs...a must try as well.

I went there with a friend of mine and had to wait a while before someone even said hi to us. There were very few people in there however the bartender chani had a friend there and was engaged in a discussion with her about her favorite drag brunch involving divine impersonators and gay dancers who take their clothes off. I don't really expect this kind of innappropriate conversation from a place that has a michelin star but whatever. I guess that discussion took precedence for some reason. she finally finished with her discussion and took our order and made us a floral fixation and a margarita. the floral fixation was super sweet and the margarita was more or less standard. after she took our order she didn't really speak to us but just kind of stood there like a statue. it was honestly kind of creepy. I wouldn't recommend this place it wasn't warm and welcoming.

Really cool atmosphere and great bar! The menu is very interesting and the bartenders know how to make a good drink. We did not try the food, but drinks were great. They have booth seating or you can sit at the bar, which I love doing at such places. Would recommend!!

My husband found this bar on a weeknight randomly while we were looking for a quiet place to celebrate his recent job offer. At first I thought we were going to be stuck in a crowded elbow-pushing place (ugh!) but was pleasantly surprised it was actually quite empty and intimate. We had a bit trouble initially finding the entrance not realizing the entrance was through their patisserie shop. The servers were quick and friendly. I got the Smoke & Muir while my husband got the Martinique drink. Both were listed under "Bold & Spirited". Both of the drinks were exquisite and so complicated. I wanted to sip on the drink for eternity. We also got fries and desserts which helped to absorb the alcohol. Would highly recommend!

Five star to Luis and Florent. Service is good, Luis can make everything! Must go if you are in SF

Great place for cocktails and a great vibe. It's small enough to not feel overwhelmed but big enough you don't feel cramped. Love starting our night here on a Saturday. The dj plays the perfect balance of music to hang with your friends while enjoying your cocktail and dancing with drink in hand.

Upon entry first floor was very welcoming! The gentlemen at the elevator was properly friendly. Element was a mood, dark but calm, good music. Drinks were excellent and the desert down stairs was chefs kiss

Friendly, really interesting cocktails. Had to realize you needed to go into the patisserie to get in though

This is a bar for a small group to come and unwind. It's an intimate lounge with a bar and some lounge seating. I came here after work to wait out the rush hour. I needed a place to duck into for an hour or so before jumping on BART to head home. They honored their happy hour through 630 which was great. I ordered two cocktails and they were amazing. Nice and refreshing! There was only one person on staff taking care of everyone, but it was a Tuesday evening so it wasn't too busy. Breagen was bartending and she was great company. She made good suggestions so I didn't have to think too much. I stayed for a few hours and the city had calmed down by the time I left. Would 100% recommend this place if you need a nice quiet place to grab a drink and some food.

I'm really disappointed and really confused that they got rid of their best dishes but kept a lot of dishes that were unimpressive. The drinks are still good but I tried one new dish and it was just fine. It's better than the dishes they kept, but not as good as the dishes they removed. It will be a very long time before I come back.

After previously dining at Elements, I wanted to bring my disabled mother here to enjoy a fun meal in the city. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not ADA compliant and refused to provide elevator access to my mom who is unable to climb stairs to the fourth floor. Their inability to accommodate handicap people made us scramble to find last minute dinner reservations in a relatively unfamiliar city.

We made a reservation for a fine dining experience, for 8:30 pm, only to arrive to discover that last seating was for 8:30 so we were encouraged instead to eat in the Elements Bar instead of the 6th floor restaurant. Same Michelin star kitchen- we were told! This building has six stories. Make sure to book at One65 - on the 6th floor - if you want the dining experience For being a Michelin star eatery, we were underwhelmed. Menu was limited, salad too salty, chicken moist but not spectacularly tasty.. And the prices were high. Two martini, one glass of wine, one entree and a few small dishes came in at $200!

Intimate and sexy are words that come to mind when thinking about Elements Bar & Lounge, which is the epitome of what a dark and sleek cocktail lounge is supposed to look like. Located on the fourth floor of ONE65 which is an innovative multi-level culinary destination with a French flair that offers four unique dining experiences under one roof in San Francisco's Union Square shopping district, like the other four concepts, Elements Bar & Lounge comes from award winning chef Claude Le Tohic. In what they say is one of the San Francisco's few upper floor bars, Elements Bar & Lounge represents a sophisticated destination bar serving an extensive range of cocktails, fine wines and whiskies in a luxurious, intimate setting, combined with a menu specially designed for the lounge allows for a selection of inviting bar bites that are specifically designed to enjoy with the specially created cocktails. I have wanted to come to ONE65, which represents their address on O'Farrell Street, for quite some time as their bakery and café on their first floor and their unassuming bistro on their second floor had been calling my name for quite some time now. But it was their cocktail lounge on their fourth floor that finally brought me here as a friend wanted to meet up for a cocktail and quick bite on a warm winter evening. The good news is that Elements Bar & Lounge is easily accessible from all corners thanks to their location close to the nearby Powell Street Bart station and a simple walk up Stockton Street and you're there as their brightly lit bakery greets you on their first floor. In order to get onto the elevator to get to Elements Bar & Lounge, they have a host that checks for vaccination status and then guides you up the elevator to the fourth floor. My friend was already waiting for me sitting at their dimly lit bar, and we were both surprised how little activity was going on inside the bar as we assumed that it would be more filled with customers waiting to head upstairs and try O' by Claude Le Tohic but as we sipped on our drinks and sampled a few bites, we were the only two customers for most of the evening, which made us sad as they have something really special here at Elements Bar & Lounge. We actually came in time for Happy Hour, which runs from when they open at 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. where they have a limited cocktail menu with some limited discounts of a few dollars on each drink and selection of draft beer and wine by the glass. The cocktail menu is broken up into four sections, Air, Fire, Water and Earth to represent the Elements, hence their name. But their Happy Hour menu had six cocktails on it, each sold at 15 dollars each. I selected their Floral Fixation, which featured Juniper Grove Gin, Ketel One Rose, Orange Blossom, Elderflower, Blue Pea Flower, Rose Hip, Lavender and Citrus, while my friend ordered their Lucid Dreamer, which featured Banhez Mezcal, Wild Huckleberry Shrub, Italicus Bergamotto, Mint, Aloe Tincture, Lime and Ginger Beer. Both cocktails were featured on the Air section of their regular cocktail menu and were intended to represent light and ethereal cocktails, and for the most part they lived up to their billing. To accompany our meal, we ordered from their regular menu, as Happy Hour only applies to their drinks. We decided that their Wagyu Meatballs which were served with a Teriyaki dipping sauce, their Cod Cromesquis which were served with a Garlic Aioli, and two dishes from their Cocottes section of their menu, their Cocottes of Seafood with spinach and wasabi and their Cocottes of Beef Ribeye with piquillos and natural jus were the way to go. Of the four the Cocottes of Seafood was the real star thanks to the pieces of scallops and lobster served in a small cast iron serving pot with all of the gravy and juices flowing throughout the entire dish. The Beef Rib Eye was just a little too fatty for us and the Wagyu Meatballs were surprisingly too bland and overcooked for us to really sink our teeth into. Overall, we had a wonderful time at Elements Bar & Lounge as the cocktails and service would have us coming back for me. The food, although somewhat disappointing, has us intrigued enough to want to come back for more to at least try the ONE65 Bistro & Grill on the second and third floors of this grand concept as that was more in our price point. Of course, if someone wanted to treat us to a multicourse dinner at O' by Claude Le Tohic and see why they deserved their Michelin star, well by all means we are game. Either way , San Francisco is lucky to have such an interesting concept for us all to experience. Where else can you get a coffee, pastry, cocktail, elevated bar bite, and high-end meal to remember all under one roof? Not many, and at Elements Bar & Lounge, it's just the beginning.

Milk punch review Captain's ration: Rhum jm single barrel, diplomatico select rum, cachaca,  coffee liqueur, hazelnut, rancio sec, clarified with milk Came in an interesting glass. A+ for presentation. I always like a coffee cocktail. The coffee flavor was more prominent than it read. They had another cocktail that had a clarified component. As opposed to the cocktail entirely being clarified, it had one ingredient clarified. They were out of it this time. Cocktails rotate on a seasonal basis and they didn't have a milk punch last season. Maybe check in seasonally to see if still present. Hope the tradition stays.

There is an absence of bars in my reviews. My alcohol tolerance is so low that I just don't go to bars. BUT....I've been waiting for One65 to open their bistro so I can gorge on their food without having to eat (and pay for) the prix fixe on the top floor at O' By Claude. The food at the One65 bar, Elements, is delicious. The avocado lobster tartine (toast), the hamachi sashimi, the cod cromesquis (deep fried balls of cod and ...rice?), the cheese plate, the charcuterie plate, the truffle French fries, the tiny desserts (the 3 version and the 5 version) are wonderful. The red wine and the white wine (yes, one of each on the happy hour menu) are wonderful paired with the food because the sommelier from the top floor is the sommelier for the whole building. Aaron, the bartender, offered to taste a variety of whiskies for us so that my husband could choose his favorite. A wide variety of whiskies are available each time we visit, may of which we haven't seen before. If you just want dessert, you'll be just as happy on the first floor at the patisserie, where you can also order the tiny desserts. Half a block from the Union square MUNI station, so easy to get to.

First time at this spot and will definitely be back. The desserts they offer are top notch and pair extremely well with the cocktails. For $12, the (3) oysters that you get are lovely and a much better deal than I've seen at other high end cocktail spots. Their liquor selection is massive, so you wont have any trouble finding an alcohol to celebrate with.

Very inventive drinks and presentation. Low key lounge vibe with an awesome playlist located in the downtown area. Truffle fries were amazingly garlic-y and staff was very attentive. Great place for happy hour.!

4.5 STARS I arrived 30 minutes early for our reservations at 'O By Claude Le Tohic so I dropped by Elements Bar & Lounge to grab a drink while waiting for my friend. As I stepped out of the elevator, I was like "Damn, it's dark!" which actually isn't a bad thing. Remember your clubbing days, when you're *emoji heart eyes* at every guy that walks by? Ok, nvm...I'm speaking for myself. That's until the lights turn on at 2:01 am and the tequila wears off... Anyhow, I think the guy sitting next to me at Elements Bar & Lounge could smell my desperation and scooted away. Tea time by day and bar/lounge at night, Elements is part of One65, a multi-level French dining hub in Union Square. Before you're allowed upstairs, you have to check-in with the host on the ground floor. The host enters your name into the system, then walks you to the elevator. I felt bad for the lone host because the process seems cumbersome if there's a line. A pack of she wolves in heat refused to follow the process, pushed their way through the host, and into the closing elevator with me. Geesus - it's a lounge upstairs, not Thunder Down Under! Thankfully, they didn't stay for a drink. I appreciated that the cocktail menu was small and concise with four themes - Air, Water, Fire, and Earth: https://bit.ly/2J4QOqD. Really cool how some edges of the paper menu was burned to keep in theme. Food is available from their 3rd floor Bistro menu. It was early (5 pm ish) and there were only 4 people there (2 customers were already drinking) but after waiting 20 minutes, my drink was still not ready. I told the server that I had to leave soon because my reservations upstairs were in a couple of minutes. She apologized and checked with one of the bartenders. She said, my cocktail will be brought up to me and it's on the house because of the delay. Thank you for making things right. The Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board: Bimini Gin w/ citrus, pandan, lavender cream, egg white ($19): https://bit.ly/31U3pps arrived 10 minutes later to 'O. Not only was it beautiful, in a simple understated way, it was well-balanced and super delicious. I really liked the creamy egg white foam and the coconut-ty-vanilla-y pandan flavor. I was worried that the cocktail may taste like soap but I could hardly detect the lavender which is a good thing IMO. For my second cocktail, I went with one of my usuals, a Vesper: https://bit.ly/2N6Fvn6. Nicely chilled, smooth, and strong. For $13, it was a steal in Union Square and they didn't use any harsh tasting wells either. Elements is a great place to grab a craft cocktail when/if you're in Union Square. Until they work out their kinks, give yourself at least an hour for pre-drinks if you have reservations at their Bistro or 'O.

Aaron did a fantastic job making the most delicious drinks. We all got the floral fixation! I highly recommend this sink! Heather was so welcome ing and nice also! Great service and great drinks! Love the speakeasy vibe!

Such a wonderful personal private vibe. The bread basket is exquisite presentation at its finest. The all unique cocktails were well detailed & explained. We had the place to our ourselves with a great music selection and intimate posh establishment

The pictures for this place are weird. But I like it. Went here for drinks on a Tuesday afternoon. It was completely dead, but this in no way represented their drinks. I ordered the stiff as a feather and enjoyed it very much. I love pandan flavor, and love finding drinks with it. The only thing is the elevator to get there is SLOW AF - but that can be overlooked :) I hope more people discover this place as it's sort of hidden and in a super touristy area.

If you're looking for a cool cocktail lounge with great music, this place is perfect! The atmosphere is fancy without being stuffy and the staff is super friendly. The cocktails were delicious and you have to try the five dessert plate!

There's a new swanky cocktail lounge near Union Square! It's part of the overall ONE65 project, where each floor of the building has a different concept. For example, the first floor is the patisserie and the third is the French bistro. The ELEMENTS bar is on the 4th floor. The nice thing is that they take reservations. And maybe because it's fairly new, it was quite easy for my friend to snag day of reservations for the three of us on a Friday evening at 7 pm. The first thing you notice when you get off the elevator is that it's pretty dim in there. Felt like I had to squint a bit to see. The menu is separated into 4 elements: air, water, earth, and fire, with the right side looking like it was singed (for the element). Cocktails range from $14-$17, with two $75 cocktails that can be shared between 4-6 people. I went with Fortune Favors the Bold ($17), which is a rum blend, falernum, cynar, giffard vanilla, and passion fruit don's. Presentation was spot on, as it comes with a half lime emptied out and filled with rum set on fire. It literally was lit! There's also a fortune cookie attached, which I found random but appreciated. The actual drink itself was pretty good. I can't claim to understand most of the ingredients, but it didn't taste overly alcoholic and was pretty sweet. We slowly sipped away at our drinks and left after one, but I'd love to come back and try some of the other drinks.

Great space. You go in through the patisserie and up the elevator. The mixed drinks are fabulous. They have interesting floral concoctions. My favorite was a spicy chocolate drink- SF Sunset. They also have beer, wine, and food. The bartender and wait staff are super friendly and it is just overall a nice spot.

Wonderful spot for a date night, and try to catch the happy hour if you can! Service is wonderful, ambiance is dark and romantic. Drinks were on point. Located on the 4th floor of the One65 building - if you get to this location and see there's a bakery/patisserie, you are in the right spot. Simply enter the building and veer right to the elevators and take it up to the 4th floor. Take a chance on this hidden gem of a lounge!

Where to start. 1st and foremost, you need to take an elevator up to the place so don't get confused if it seems like a coffee shop at first. They also have a happy hour from 3-530 that offers 15% off of food and select wines but we did not get here in time for it unfortunately. The drinks were so delicious and although a bit pricey, it is worth every cent. I got the moment of clarity which has a floral sweetness and stays delicious even when diluted by the ice. My partner got the light as a feather which he described as fluffy, citrus-y and light. The drinks are genius and nothing like you've tasted before. The atmosphere is very relaxed. It is a place where you can comfortably have a conversation and the lighting is dark. The staff is friendly and attentive. I enjoyed talking with the bartender, Jack who was happy to have a conversation with us. THE. BREAD. Order the damn bread. Dare I say, it's the best bread I've ever tasted. So fluffy, buttery and flavorful. This point alone is what is going to keep us coming back to elements. :)

Bar area. it's a dark quiet place that's a little tough to find but it's got a laid vibe once your "up" and inside.

After lunch my friend and I decided to look at the Elements bar & lounge upstairs. There was no one there, so we had the space to our entire selves. The space is large, as it takes up the entire floor. It looked much more spacious than the bistro. Cool things of the lounge. I liked the whiskey lockers that they have on the side of the wall. The bartender informed us only 4 were rented since the 2 weeks they have been open. On the bar were absinthe pourers. Haven't seen that before, I was intrigued in how it worked. Drinks are pricey, but that is what you'd expect in Union Square. One of the drinks that was cool was the Book Burner. After it was poured into the glass, the remaining cocktail was in a glass flask to pour out later. Classy and fun addition to visit if in Union Square.

I was introduced to ELEMENTS Bar & Lounge by a friend and I'm so glad she did! Loved the concept of the menu -- guided by the "elements" air, earth, water, and fire. Admittedly leaned more towards the Air section more than the others, but you can tell there's a lot of thought and craft put into each cocktail. Here's what I've tried so far: Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board - Gin-based cocktail, the pandan and egg-white details caught my eye. This one was creamy without being heavy, a very good drink. Guns & Roses - Another gin-based cocktail with unique ingredients. I loved the presentation and balance of flavors with this one. One65 Wine Cooler - The simplest of the three, but still a strong and pretty one. Pick Flowers, Not Fights - Vodka-based with egg-white, really loved the rice paper decor on this one. Very a e s t h e t i c. Book Burner - The most unique of them all in terms of the experience, you literally have someone burning something in front of you. Very strong drink. Mr. Exotica - This one caught my eye for having mezcal, it's also made with coffee liqueur and peanuts. Quite a vision presentation-wise, the most tiki-like of them all. Enjoyed the unique flavors here, but you have to be in the mood for those flavors. Overall, each experience I've had here has been amazing. Bartenders are super friendly and professional. You pay a pretty penny for these drinks but it's worth every dollar, in my opinion. Can't wait to be back!

Absolutely LOVE this place! Great bar, Yummy bites, great service! Perfect date place or just hanging out with friends

Cute and quaint bar lounge. I'd sit closer to the bar then toward the window, seems to be a bit more lively and inviting environment. Tried the light as a feather drink along with he cheese board. The drink was very good, flavorful, without being too strong, if that's what you're into, which I definitely am. We were told drinks would take 10 min but it didn't seem that long. Overall a great relaxing place with excellent drinks and bites. Would def go back

My coworkers and I never made it past the first floor of ONE65 b/c the patisserie monopolizes our appetites. During the week of Dreamforce, we wanted a place to safely happy hour that wasn't shut down for a private party nor where we had to fight tourist crowds. We took the elevator in ONE65 to the Elements Bar & Lounge. We loved the ambiance! Dim, cozy, and intimate with a decent mix of people but not too loud or rowdy. There were plenty of pockets to tuck away, but the space wasn't too big (same layout as the other floors of ONE65, but different themes and decor for each). My coworker and I sat ourselves at the bar at 545, and the bartender immediately gave us a heads up that HH would end at 6 and would be happy to help us rush our order in. We ordered the oysters, fries, and cod croquettes. I was also super happy with my HH sauvignon blanc--it was balanced and didn't taste like throwaway wine that needed to move. The food was excellent, and the bartender was great. He explained the beautifully curated cocktail menu without pretense, and we were fixated on watching them prepare their cocktails. For second round of drinks, we ordered the Anjou and Pick Flowers Not Fights, and we loved both. We expended so much time at the bar that we eventually got hungry again, and we were pleased to learn that we could order from the menu from the space on the 3rd floor, ONE65 Bistro. We got the bread and butter basket (with to-die-for French beurre), olives, carrots, and king oyster mushrooms. The mushrooms were the stand out and left us both very full. The service here was super friendly, attentive, and approachable, and the happy hour prices were a steal. Cheers!
