Massive whiskey selection, inventive craft cocktails, cozy vibe
"A San Francisco bar where the owner previously bartended amid a severe drought that limited water service to request-only; that period informed her later work consulting with bars and restaurants on reducing waste and lowering their environmental footprints." - ByClaire Sprouse, As Told To MacKenzie Fegan
"You can choose from a selection of local beers and boutique California wines at Rickhouse, but you’ll likely want to try a whiskey-based drink here, if only because it suits the rugged look and history of the place. The ceiling is made from the staves of barrels imported from Kentucky, and the walls of the bar originally came from a Prohibition-era nunnery in the Ozarks. If you come with a group of coworkers or even the clients you’re trying to win over, go ahead and try the popular punch bowl to share. Bartenders use fresh juices, natural sugars, and local produce in all the cocktails." - Vox Creative
"This is the second tiki bar for the group, which debuted Pagan Idol in 2016, and previously opened the likes of cocktail destinations Bourbon & Branch, Local Edition, and Rickhouse." - Janelle Bitker
"It’s a downtown, after-work, finance-bro spot to be sure, but Rickhouse has long been a popular go-to for lovers of a good punch bowl, all of which are served in pretty vintage bowls with matching teacups. The options change seasonally with the rest of the menu, but the punches typically include fresh berries or or other fruits. Do note that they know their crowd and these are expense account prices, with four people easily able to polish off two bowls total." - Jay C. Barmann
"Located conveniently across from Claude Lane, Rickhouse is one of Future Bars' nearby watering holes that partner Brian Sheehy cites when noting the group's familiarity with the Kearny Street corridor; he says all their bars are at capacity on Thursdays." - Caleb Pershan
