"The Linden Room is an itty bitty bar — seriously, there are just eight seats — so you may have to wait before you can squeeze in at the first come, first served establishment. But it’s attached to chef Kim Alter’s Michelin Guide-worthy Nightbird so you can expect creative cocktails crafted with premium ingredients and precise techniques. The Ralphie Boy is a menu staple, built on a whiskey base and lifted with peach, smoked egg whites, and lemon." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff

"A tiny spot attached to the fancy Hayes Valley restaurant Nightbird. Which is convenient, because if you don’t have hundreds of dollars to drop on dinner, you can just head next door and drink some very delicious and very reasonably (put San Francisco goggles on) priced cocktails in a space that feels right out of Mad Men." - Taylor Abrams

Excellent spot to get a top level cocktail. Small intimate bar with only a few seats, so get there early. But well worth the wait if you show up later. I had two of their signature cocktails and they did not disappoint. They are also connected to a fancy restaurant, but I didn’t try them out.

I hate to be drawing attention to this place because I want to keep it a secret but one of the best speakeasy experiences I have had. Small area, cozy spaces to seat 8 people. First come first serve, no reservations. The cocktails are phenomenal! The bartenders know their stuff. The drink menu’s unique & of quality ingredients. Great intimate spot to start off your night. Ralphie boy & This Thyme are my favorite. Cheers!

absolutely love this place. if you are in the area for a good cocktail, this is the place to come. i got a custom mezcal espresso martini and my friends got the 2 ‘spicy’ ones (i forget their names). all were fantastic. dry small space so gets crowded fast but go at midnight and you won’t have to wait. great drinks, great service, great atmosphere. must go.

This has been on my list for so long and finally made it in. The space is small but that makes it such a cozy spot for a drink. Even crowded it feels like you are drinking with friends in a living room. The cocktails are great and the bartenders are so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!

Love the Linden Room, have been many times. They have amazing cocktails, but you have to be prepared to pay for it. I do have to say the service is hit or miss. Often they are welcoming but the last time I was there, a male bartender was rude to everyone that walked in and trash talked guests after they left. The space is tiny so you can hear everything he is saying. Not a great vibe to create, was disappointing and icky.

Teeny tiny space - which could be really fun but for some reason fell flat. We were 4 people and we all ordered a drink and they all felt imbalanced and just not that exciting. A shame as I think this could be a really cool concept.

Outstanding cocktail bar with skilled mixologists. A true hidden San Francisco gem. The cocktails are well balanced, distinctive and include components devised by the chef at the adjoining Nightbird restaurant. For those with discriminating tastes and a mindful palette.

Hands down best cocktail bar in SF. Every drink was delicious, balanced, and strong. Seats are first come first serve with only 8 chairs but it moves quick. Also you can stand to wait. Spacious enough to wait but I never mind standing for a well worth it drink. Shout out to Jamie and Sarah for the hospitality and great drinks. Favorites are the Ralphie Boy the merengue was tasty and La Chicha well balanced with tequila tad sweet and good sour kick. Will be back!
