"You dig relaxing in a room full of greenery, so head to Propagation. At this Lower Nob Hill bar, leafy things take over the bright, though somewhat maze-like space. Which means you'll chill on a leather couch beside a giant palm, or post up barside next to a towering euphorbia. At Propagation, plants don’t just exist to look pretty. Many of their excellent, botanical-leaning cocktails roll with the plant theme, like the Thriller Spiller Filler with vodka, lemongrass, strawberries, and citrus." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez

"This plant-themed cocktail bar in Nob Hill has a beautiful interior with plenty of lush plants that hang from the ceiling and line the walls. And despite having just opened in March, it’s already got the feel of a neighborhood bar that’s been around for a while, with friendly bartenders, lively music playing, and a “no wifi” mentality - you won’t see people sitting glued to their phones. Another reason we love them is their rotating list of fruity, plant-inspired cocktails, like the “Plantasia” with mezcal, matcha, wheatgrass, pineapple, and lime, or the “A Million Reasons,” a piña colada with acai and champagne." - julia chen 1, lani conway

Despite having just opened, it’s already got the feel of a neighborhood bar that’s been around for a while, with friendly bartenders, fun music playing, and a “no wifi” mentality. Choose from their rotating list of cocktails, like the “Plantasia” with mezcal, matcha, wheatgrass, and pineapple, and lime, or the “A Million Reasons,” a piña colada with acai and champagne." - julia chen 1
"Perhaps you’re meeting up with someone who has a highlight on their Instagram solely dedicated to carefully curated photos of their thriving houseplants. Take them to Propagation, a plant-themed cocktail bar in Nob Hill that’s filled with tons of greenery and comfy couches. Their drinks all have some kind of plant or fruit in the ingredient list, like a piña colada with acai and champagne, or a mezcal cocktail with matcha, all of which are great to sip on while you lie about the lifespan of your succulents." - julia chen 1
