"If you prefer a holiday bar pop-up with a darker edge to it, Rye is spinning the Krampus myth into its theme for the month with Krampus’ Cove. Expect less of the Mariah Carey-style holiday spirit and more of the vibe of goth Christmas trees decorated with skeletons, doll heads, and severed body parts (faux, of course). Expect strong, themed drinks like Red Snow, a drink made with vodka, coconut-peppermint syrup, absinthe, and sherry. Festivities kick off on Monday, December 9, through Tuesday, December 31." - Justine Jones
"Rye loves to get crazy for Halloween, going all out with a bar theme each October — and this year is no exception. Saddle up to the Geary Street spot and prepare to live out your horror film nightmares with “Freddy Kruger’s Boiler Room: An homage to all things Nightmare on Elm Street.” The bar will be done up with Elm Street decor with plenty of photo opps for customers, along with an Elm Street-themed cocktail menu with drinks like “Now no one sleeps!” and “I’m your boyfriend now, Nancy!”" - Dianne de Guzman
"These bars will offer cocktails with food pairings next to the Cocktail Magic stage at the festival." - Lauren Saria
"Erik Tennyson of cocktail bar Rye, is teaming up with Simon Brown of Topogato for a one-night-only dessert bar pop-up on February 27 at Rye at 688 Geary Street from 8 to 11 p.m." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Sixteen years is a lifetime in the bar world, but this Nob Hill home for high-end cocktails long ago earned its reputation as a bartender’s favorite, thanks to its ambitious drink program. But while the titular spirit seems like a natural pick here, the bar’s take on the 1934 Zombie features BACARDI Ocho as its Puerto Rican rum, along with fresh grapefruit and cinnamon. Over the years it’s gotten a new look and sign, but it’s still the bar that helped advance cocktail culture in San Francisco upon its founding." - Vox Creative
