"The alcoholic slushies (which you can get with guava, passion fruit, or strawberry) aren’t the only reason to go to Palm House, but they are a pretty good one. You’ll also find tropical decorations, a good Happy Hour, and a nice patio. It’s suitable for a first date - order some guacamole and tacos when you get hungry. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Taylor Abrams
"There are a few communal tables at Palm House reserved for walk-ins, so if you show up during the day and grab a spot at one of those, you don’t have to order food just to sit and drink. If it’s still early enough for brunch, go with something “light,” like a vodka and raspberry prosecco Palm 75, before going for a rum slushie with prickly pear or guava. Once you’ve been there a while and want something small to eat, get the smashed avocado to split with the group." - will kamensky, nic strain 2
"Summer Saturdays are the best excuse to start scraping the bottom of the friend barrel for someone whose birthday it is, just so you can have a valid reason to day drink and bar hop around the city. And after you find out that someone has no birthday plans and you selflessly volunteer to strategize for them, you should start at Palm House. Their open-air front porch on Union Street is the best place to get a feel for what’s going on in the rest of the neighborhood, all while you drink boozy slushies and plan the next stop so you don’t spend the whole day in one place." - will kamensky
"If you ever need to plan a group meal with people who are extremely passionate about boozy slushies, Palm House is here for you. Theirs comes in guava, strawberry, or prickly pear flavors, and is an excellent reason to head to this Cow Hollow spot. Another good reason is the breezy, open-air patio surrounded by lush plants, where you can kick back with Caribbean small plates and tacos." - julia chen 1
