Creative cocktails & elevated bar bites, late night happy hour
"After 10 years in San Francisco’s Civic Center neighborhood, the restaurant closed on Tuesday, December 28. An Instagram post announcing the closure said the team will continue hosting pop-ups, charity events, and private events in 2025, but will “take some time to re-imagine the possibilities.”" - Dianne de Guzman
"After ten years at 100 Van Ness Avenue, this restaurant closed its doors as of Tuesday, December 28. An Instagram post announcing the closure states that the team will "take some time to re-imagine the possibilities" while hosting pop-ups, charity events, and private events in 2025, so it sounds more like a "stay tuned" than a permanent farewell." - Dianne de Guzman
"Ordering cocktails from Hi Neighbor Hospitality Group of Oakland’s Mama and FiDi’s the Vault for $10 a piece is rare in its own right, let alone for a nighttime happy hour. The Madrigal provides this exceptional offering every week. Round out your stop with food from the happy hour menu, but keep in mind that the kitchen closes by 10:45 p.m. Hours: 9 p.m. to close Tuesday to Saturday" - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Justine Jones
"Step inside the Madrigal to be transported into some of your favorite holiday movies. A seasonal cocktail menu takes inspiration from films such as Home Alone and A Christmas Story, resulting in drinks including the Wet Bandits made with butter-washed bourbon, baking spices, and amaretto whipped cream (served hot) or the Elf-inspired World’s Best Cup of Coffee, which blends vodka, Mr. Black, cold brew, and maple whipped cream." - Lauren Saria
"This Van Ness Avenue bar and restaurant is a fine choice for anyone looking to watch the buses fly by as they cozy into a seasonal cocktail and plate of oysters. Things are on the pricier side here, but close proximity to the Theater District is a major win; it’s just under a half-mile walk to the Orpheum or a super fast Uber away." - Paolo Bicchieri
