Imaginative cocktails, hearty lunch salads, sandwiches & small plates
"Your next Financial District lunch should be at Heartwood. The American spot has quick service, cushy banquettes, and plenty of space for sprawling out with coworkers you actually like. And, famously, free martinis. They’re technically a penny, but it’s still the cheapest cocktail in the city. The lunch-only deal is simple: order an entree, like a burger or poke grain bowl, and get your choice of martini like a classic gin or vodka, espresso, or one infused with jasmine tea. The food isn’t mind-blowing—just a step above the standard FiDi grab-and-go options—but it doesn’t matter. You’re here to sip on a free ‘tini and get just buzzed enough before slinking back to your ergonomic desk chair. photo credit: Albert Law photo credit: Albert Law photo credit: Albert Law Pause Unmute" - Julia Chen
"This Latin-managed Financial District cocktail bar found inspiration from Latin America and Southeast Asia in its rum-based cocktail, The Pulp Fiction. Zacapa No. 23 Rum acts as a smooth foundation, with mango and makrut lime providing a citrus kick and cinnamon adding some extra spice. Pair it with the street corn dip for a cocktail hour snack combo." - Vox Creative
"I noted that Heartwood is hosting a Pacific Island Party tonight as part of San Francisco's AAPI Cocktail Week." - Lauren Saria
"In the Financial District, this love letter to the outdoors feels even more appropriate in the winter, like a holiday getaway to a cabin in the woods. Using the BACARDÍ Ocho Sherry Cask in its pumpkin-spiced eggnog gives Heartwood’s take on the seasonal classic an even-smoother taste, with a little dried fruit and more vanilla. Pair it with goat cheese and mushroom toast or a smashburger for a hearty combo meal appropriate for the cold weather." - Robert Spuhler
"The latest effort from a team that, combined, has been behind bars like the Beehive and other Bay Area mainstays, Heartwood feels like an ode to California’s natural beauty — in particular, the forests north of the city. The brick-and-wood interior has been open to the public only since April, but its drink menu tastes like a list of classics, thanks in part to a reliance on natural spices and flavors. That comes through in the Pulp Fiction, which combines a blend of spiced rums (including BACARDÍ Ocho), mango, citrus, and Makrut lime into a smooth mixed drink that balances both tropical and earthy tones." - Robert Spuhler
