"A longstanding corner bar on 16th Street, offering a new 'Gold Rush Hours' happy hour with tiered drink discounts to attract patrons back as the Mission District seeks to boost business." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Elixir has been a Mission watering hole for longer than phones have existed (1858, to be exact), and it’s easy to see the saloon’s history as soon as you walk in—there’s intricate crown moulding and old architectural plans and vintage photos on the walls. More modern additions include TVs for catching a game and a photobooth by the door, plus 8pm trivia on Tuesdays. The well drinks and cocktails are pretty much what you’d expect, and there are hundreds of whiskies to make your way through. This is a great second stop after a date night at Angie’s down the street, or a warm gathering spot when a Dolores Park hang turns into an after-dark situation." - Julia Chen
"This Mission neighborhood haunt is located at the second-oldest continuously operating saloon address in the city. It’s fitting, then, that the holidays here mean dipping back into the classics with a take on the hot buttered rum, with BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho adding the kick to the traditional batter. Elixir also makes a great source for holiday gifts for cocktail fans, whether you opt for a set of engraved glasses or a ticket to an upcoming tasting or class." - Robert Spuhler
"Elixir offered its vast whiskey collection for delivery."
"Fortunately, Elixir, the historic saloon in Mission Dolores, is kicking off a virtual version of its popular quiz night, on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Facebook Live. The bar is doing deliveries, for anyone who needs to order beer or bourbon in advance." - Eater Staff
