"Wildhawk has some of the best cocktails and people watching you can find in the Mission. It’s sandwiched between Valencia and Mission, and doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic, making it perfect for posting up for the afternoon without having to battle any crowds. Plus, it’s all indoors, so it works whether the sun is out, or Karl has settled in for the week." - will kamensky, nic strain 2
"With its dim lighting, floral wallpaper, and mid-century chairs, Wildhawk feels like a club for those who would quietly describe themselves as “trendy.” The thing to drink here is the martinis, which will definitely help loosen you up for deep conversations, like where you see yourself in five years." - lani conway, will kamensky
"Unlike a lot of the rowdy bars around this part of the Mission, Wildhawk feels like a lounge that’s specifically made for talking to the people around you. The specialty here is martinis, and their house version comes in a frozen sake bottle, so your drink stays perfectly chilled in between the dramatic pauses in the story you’re telling." - will kamensky
"Drinking a martini doesn’t mean you have to go somewhere that feels like it’s frozen in an infinite 1920s time-loop. And when we want to grab a martini that tastes like it was made this century, we go to Wildhawk in the Mission. This place is dark, covered in floral wallpaper, and feels like a clubhouse for people who would quietly describe themselves as “fashionable.” There’s a good list of creative cocktails to choose from, but the best thing to order here is their house martini. It’s $20 but comes with a sidecar served in a frozen sake bottle so your drink stays cold, but won’t get watered down while you’re discussing things like where you’re vacationing next or what the next Everlane will be." - will kamensky
"This 2022 nominee for Best U.S. Cocktail Bar (West) is known for its comfortable digs (including couches and plush armchairs), its love of all things avian, and its inventive drink menu. Settle in with an Echo Pa’Lante (BACARDĺ Ocho, raicilla, sake vermouth, and rosé) and a cheese board and watch the crowd accumulate. The dark interior makes it a prime date spot while the patio, a COVID-era addition, is great for warm days." - Vox Creative
