Wizards & Wands

Super fun unofficially themed Harry Potter bar! My friend and I arrived around 2:30 on a Sunday. I ordered the 3 legged fox and she ordered the wizard brew aka alcoholic butterbeer. My drink came with liquid nitrogen, which was a fun experience! The celery bitters in my drink also gave a nice refreshing aftertaste. My friend also loved the butter beer and thought it was better than the one she had at universal studios. The bar played really good throwback jams and also had a fun Harry Potter soundtrack themed light show behind the bar. The decorations were phenomenal! Even the bathroom had a fun nod to the ministry of magic. They also offer drag brunch on weekends

Came here for the 2pm drag brunch. The MC was hilarious and had great crowd interaction. Food was delicious and the cocktails were as good as they looked! Also appreciated that you could buy “drag bucks” with your card if you didn’t have dollar bills.

The cocktails are very creative with non-traditional ingredients and are on par for the cost of any cocktail in SF. The theatrical drinks and great appetizer are loads of fun even if you are not a Harry Potter fan.

Our group of 8 had a delicious brunch while enjoying the fantastic performances from our queens. Bartender was on point and our server was hustling and sweet. Highly recommended for anything from a birthday celebration to spontaneous adventure.

AMBIENCE: Detailed inside & out! The quidditch player they have had me rolling LMAO even the bathroom had fun details. dimly lit & a mix of themed music & regular music made for a nice time. You can both hear the music & your friends while you have your drinks. FOOD: Got the unicorn blood while my friend had butter beer. We both liked our drinks. The golden arancini was really good & went with the theme. Florean's ice cream sandwich was decorated with both a milk & white chocolate frog. Whatever cookie they used was the best part of dessert. OVERALL: If you love the wizarding world, give this place a try!

Was just walking by and popped in. Very fun place and I had great service. Had two drinks, no food. The drinks are slightly higher but nothing crazy and you’re also paying for the exp wrong which is worth it. Must see if you’re a HP fan…..

Nice to try. Has a good ambiance. Great service and pretty busy. Drinks are good. Food is decent

We stopped here for the Harry Potter ambiance, & it did not disappoint. So many cool decorations. They had holiday theme going on so it was Christmas @ Hogwarts vibes. We got the butter-beer & spiked hot chocolate. Drinks were 2/5 pre-batched & hard to drink. Maybe an acquired taste. The butter-beer wasn’t bad but I’ve had better. This is definitely more of a dive bar experience, but the prices didn’t really reflect that. The price was not reflective of the quality of the drinks. Service was fine, but this is definitely a one time spot for us.

I do not call California's Bay Area home. In fact, I live in the opposite side of the Golden State- the South Bay, so I went to Wizards and Wands while on vacation. Weeks before my trip, I saw an IG reel that recommended this place. How does an SF restaurant show up in an Angeleno's IG real? I am sure there is a logical explanation- like I heart-blessed some SF eateries reals and thus this one showed up due to the hint to the algorithm. But, I rather believe that there is a magical ghost (like Myrtle) in the machine, who path-lighted this joint for me to enjoy one day. It is important to note that the IG reel described this place as a Harry Potter restaurant, but in reality it is Potter-coded. Meaning, that, only in my mind did I see Harry Potter connections, nothing in the place was actually Harry Potter endorsed. Honestly, this did not sully my enthusiasm, and i am only a casual Potter fan. This will hit a true Potter fan hard- like in the opposite way of the Avada Kedavra curse. My friend Denise and I went a few days after December 25th, and a few days before New Year's. Meaning, we were just able to walk-in. If we had gone in a previous day, the place would have been super packed cause of the festive glamour! What I did not expect, was for the place to be heavily decorated for Christmas, in a way that was immersive, beautiful, and elegant and yes Potter-esque. At one point, it did feel like we were in the Great Hall, sitting as Dumbledore awarded points, while candles floated above us, and future Death Eaters broke bread with Hufflepuff. I want to note, as my pictures show, that the work of transportation to Daigon Alley, was made possible by the decor and effort of the place, its decorations were not streamers in a gym, they were replete and thoughtful, they scored on purpose fulfilled. Inadvertently, Denise and I had lucked out as we visited during the lull that happens after the Christmas rush and before the New Year Eve's day's blast. This may be a cheat code that might be helpful for people who want to enjoy the Christmas decore without waiting in line or being part of huge crowd. One of the servers, I did not get her name, told me that she turned on something, and to look at the wall. I stood up to record. It was a digital dragon that felt true and cool. I caught a 19 second video that sees the dragon look directly at me, then look straight and then he/she/they shot fire. I was close to the act, I saw the night sky that mirrored space clouds, and I saw the fire disperse from a starting point of an awfully big fire ball. It all seemed so real, for a fraction of a second. It felt like I had witness a dragon show, in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I imagine that in between trials there would be events to entertain the crowds, like in real festivals. here in the muggle world. Again, I can see how a true devourer of Harry Potter Lore would find this place there personal Eden. I ordered the magic beans, and when they came they were fire roasted with a torch on the spot. And this did not seem cheesy either, it felt engaging, and how peanuts would be roasted in a hard bar, like a Hell Angel's bar. And of course the Hell Angel's would be literal in this world, not bikers. Denise and I also shared the Shepard's Pie, the Golden Arincini, and the Warm Pretzel Wands. All the food was good, but nothing to describe in detail. Every bite, was solid, enjoyable but just solid version of what they are. Meaning do not expect to eat bites that will make you say wow, or re-imagine the taste of what is good, again, the food was strong and solid, which help sustain the entire experience. One of the arancini, also, had wings that made it a golden seeker. When I went to the bathroom the toilet also had a sign that said, "Ministry of Magic this Way" which was funny and bathroom humor is hard to make funny. Denise and I shared a couple of cocktails and shots. She had a dirty butterbeer and I had the Missletoe Espresso Martini that had a spell attached to it, which revealed itself after the server lit up a paper that burned neatly. The drink itself was good. On my way out, I also learned the appropriate way to pronounce mimosa. It is mimOsa not mimoSA, which is helpful to know. If you are a Potter fan go here, if you are just into experiences go here, I would strain myself to find a legitimate complain about this place.

Came here with a few girlfriends for a GNO in the city. All of them are into Harry Potter so figured this would be fun to check out! We came earlier in the evening, had a reservation for 4:45 but it was still quiet inside at that time, people could have walked in no problem. By the time we were leaving around 6:30 it def picked up and was busier inside! We each got different cocktails, the Love Potion was a hit. I had the Unicorn Blood because I am sold whenever I see butterfly pea! It was good, and probably the most bang for your buck when it comes to liquid/ice ratio in the drink. We shared tons of appetizers which is a great way to try different items, I really liked the burrata salad with tomato's and the fries were surprisingly good! I'm not too into that type of fry cut, but they were crispy! Overall it's a fun place to check out for drinks!!

Came here for a girls' night because we were curious about the wizard theme. If you're into Harry Potter, it might be up your alley, but temper expectations. Aside from themed decor and ceiling projections, there isn't much actual "wizardry." It would be fun if they leaned into it more, like with sorting hat moments, a house quiz, something interactive, but as is, the experience feels pretty minimal. Food was just okay. When you see "Liquid Nitrogen Hot Cheetos" listed as an appetizer, it should be a red flag. Fries: sidewinders dusted with Hot Cheetos seasoning. The Hot Cheeto seasoning wasn't listed on the menu and I wouldn't have ordered them had I known. Fries were okay, but not very crispy, and the seasoning was a miss. Sprout's Summer Salad: caprese-style with heirloom tomatoes, basil, and burrata, fresh and probably the best thing we ordered. Sorcerer's Salad: cabbage, mint, cilantro, avocado. Honestly tasted like a bagged Safeway salad with avocado added. Pretzels: $14 for three, which made them awkward to share. Service was mixed. Our first server (did not catch her name, but she had just moved here from Texas) was warm, welcoming, and great. Midway through, servers switched and the second was noticeably short and curt/ not very welcoming, and the vibe shifted. All cocktails are batched and can't be modified. We waited about 15-20 minutes just for them to be poured, which felt slow considering they're pre-made, and we were unable to make any changes. The ceiling does a dragon display every ~45 minutes, which was fun and honestly the highlight of the "wizard" experience. Overall, I wouldn't go back unless a friend really wanted to. Fun to try once, but there are plenty of better spots in the city for drinks, food, and atmosphere.

Celebrated my best friend's birthday here and the staff were so warm and accommodating. We did an entire murder mystery game and the ambiance perfectly fit the vibe we were going for. The restaurant was decorated so well for Christmas, with the entire ceiling towards the back projected with stars, dragons and more. What a magical place! Truly feels like you're transported to Hogwarts. We all ordered food and drink, and the Wizard's Beer is just like I thought butterbeer would taste like, like rich butterscotch and caramel. It was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the burger, which came with curly fries and everything was delectable. Our group also ordered the arancini, and the prime rib I believe? Everything was so delicious! Definitely a wonderful place for a birthday! Thank you for being so accommodating to us. We had such a fun time!

Absolutely dumbfounded--for all the wrong reasons. Ripped off, gaslit, and nearly burned alive!!! Don't come here they're scammers! The establishment nearly went up in flames while we were attempting to finish our drinks, due to extreme incompetence. Someone had installed Christmas lights connected to a household extension cord outside, plugged into a standard home outlet--during peak storm season and one of the heaviest rain weeks we've had. The smell of burning rubber and smoke coming from the ceiling is something I still remember vividly. The female waitress was polite and helpful, but several male staff members made rude and disrespectful comments about me and my friend, including remarks about our drink orders and our knowledge of craft cocktails. The issue began when the first drink I purchased for my friend tasted overly sweet. While that alone would not have been an issue given the use of syrup, problems arose when I ordered a second drink and specifically asked for a double shot. Despite there being no rush or foot traffic, it took the staff approximately 10 minutes to prepare the drink. During that time, they were visibly arguing behind the bar and making comments about us. Before the second drink was completed or brought to us, I explicitly told them to cancel the order because I could already tell there was confusion and that the situation was being mishandled. Despite this, they proceeded to make the drink anyway and charged me for it. Naturally, if a double shot is ordered, one would expect either a stronger drink or a second drink containing alcohol. Instead, we were served a second drink that contained an extra shot of syrup--not alcohol. One active bartender confirmed this was intentional and claimed it was "normal" to receive a second shot of syrup when requesting a double shot. That explanation is both incorrect and insulting. For context, I am a former bar and restaurant owner, and my friend currently manages a sports bar. Despite our professional experience, the bartenders continued to gaslight us, insisting the drink contained additional alcohol when it clearly did not. After we expressed our dissatisfaction, they brought over a tall glass of vodka that we did not ask for. This shot was supposedly offered "for free," yet I was still charged for it. From the start, staff members also made comments questioning the validity of both our IDs and suggesting we looked too young. I strongly suspect they were hesitant to serve us alcohol at all, given that both drinks tasted overwhelmingly like sugar. This has happened to us before due to our appearance, but dismissing our complaints as "uneducated" is unacceptable--especially considering our industry backgrounds. Claiming that a "second shot" means additional syrup instead of alcohol is misleading and unprofessional. The way this situation was handled--from the drinks, to the charges, to the disrespect, and even the unsafe conditions--was unacceptable. Honestly I paid with a 100$ bill and I noticed the receipt now saying 70$ doesn't make sense. Also please watch out for the other reviews they all say the same thing about the free shots offered by staff which end up being charged for.

My friend and I randomly came upon this place on a walk and decided to stop in. The bar is fun, quirky, and unique. It is Harry Potter themed and you can tell by the small details. They have a bar area and a seating/dining area. We only ordered drinks. We both ordered the Love Potions and they were really tasty and refreshing. It was so good we got another round. The bartenders were very funny and nice the whole time we were there. A very casual and relaxed vibe overall.

This is definitely a cute place to come if you have a group to bring and want a Harry Potter vibe. I ordered a couple drinks which came out really strong and a pot pie recommended by the bartender which wasn't bad. It came out with edible glitter which was really cute, and the puff pastry on top was most enjoyable! I would come back with my Harry Potter obsessed friends for the strong drinks and cute atmosphere!

The drinks here are absolutely lovely and fun -- definitely the kind of place you bring out-of-town guests to impress them with something unique. Go early if you want to snag a table; it fills up fast. We went at 5:30 on a Friday and there were plenty of tables, and when we left, it was packed. The servers are cool and attentive, and the overall vibe is festive. The music adds to the atmosphere, though it can get a bit loud -- sometimes too loud to easily carry a conversation. It's actually really loud in the bathroom area. We'll definitely be back to try the food next time. Based on the drinks alone, it's worth the visit!

I'd been hearing about this place for a while and had been wanting to make a trip for their famous Drag Brunch. My partner and I were in San Francisco for Folsom Street Faire and looking for somewhere nearby to eat, and guess what? This spot was just down the street from our hotel, perfect little surprise! Unfortunately, we couldn't make the brunch hours work, but we still wanted to check out the place and see what it was all about. As a pretty big Harry Potter fan, I was excited to see how they brought that magical vibe to life. And they did not disappoint.... the Marauder's Map style menu was such a clever touch, and the enchanted digital ceiling that changed scenes? Loved it. We ordered a couple drinks, mine was the "Love Potion," and my guy had the "Wizard Brew." Honestly, the drinks were the highlight for me. Super cute, tasty, and on theme. The food, on the other hand... meh. We got a pot pie and something else I've already forgotten, so that kind of says it all. Not bad, just not memorable. But let's be real: we didn't go for the food. It was all about the atmosphere. The place has great energy and such a fun, magical vibe. I will be back, and next time it's gonna be for Drag Brunch!! I just know that's where the real magic happens.

We went here for a friends birthday. What a fun place and amazing drinks! We all don't drink alcohol and they're nonalcoholic drinks are off the hook.. highly recommend

Super pretty interior, I loved the harry potter theme. The butter beer drink is perfect - this is exactly how it should taste. Universal needs to up their game with their butter beer. I also tried the unicorn blood drink - great but not as good as the butter beer. Service was good, bartenders were attentive.

As a Harry Potter fan, I absolutely lovedddd this bar!! The decorations, ambiance, and service were all amazing :)) As far as drinks go, I would say my favorite was Love Potion as someone who likes fruity/sweet drinks. Wizard brew was also very nice, with a creamy foam on top which was pretty sweet. Unicorn's Blood was alright but slightly underwhelming. Whether you follow Harry Potter or not, I would highly recommend checking this place out!

Very fun SF bar! I somehow only recently learned that this Harry Potter themed bar existed, and it did not disappoint! I absolutely loved it. The magical inside and different references from the movies, and you really feel immersed in it. Between the starry sky and marauders map menu, there was a lot of thought put into the design. There was a pretty long wait when we arrived, so we sat at the bar and service was great there! I ordered the espresso martini, which came with a spell that was revealed when lit on fire. A really fun little trick! My boyfriend ordered the Unicorn Blood cocktail, which was pea flower infused vodka, prosecco, bergamot, citrus, honey, and shimmer! They were both super delicious (a little pricey, but to be expected)!  Overall we had a great time and will definitely be returning!

We showed up on a Saturday at 11:30 am with no idea they had drag brunch at noon! It was a fun pleasant surprise. The place was so beautifully decorated. The lighted ceiling, the little decorative pieces and the themed menu all added to the most fun, memorable and magical aesthetic. The drinks were strong. We got the Wizards Brew, Polly potion and the Cauldron shot. I enjoyed the wizards brew, especially the whip on top. We also got the huevos rancheros and the veggie/hummus dip. Both were good

Ok first off... being a HUGE Harry Potter fan, I was in love with this place just from the outside. And upon walking in, you just get hit with all the glory of what a wizard would want. Lol. My bff took me here for my bday and upon walking in, because it was my bday they gave me a witches hat to wear (and they let you keep it). The hostess was so nice and friendly. And... our waiter was AMAZING! I loved him and he definitely made it feel like my bff and I knew him forever. He treated us like family and was continuously checking in on us and making sure we were taken care of the entire time! Now let's get to the food.. the steak was perfectly cooked to my liking (medium) and season well. And the rice balls were so good! Not to mention, our drinks were insanely delicious! Definitely coming back again with anyone who would want to come with me.

Drag brunch on weekends and fun times! Since we booked our reservation for May the Fourth, the brunch trivia ended up being Star Wars themed. Star Wars trivia in a Harry Potter-themed bar...what an odd mix! What they don't tell you is that the reservation ticket only includes the Wizard's Brew cocktail. There were fifteen cocktails on the menu and only one included! I guess the hope was that we'd order more drinks, but that Wizard's Brew was strong enough for me. It would have been nice if we could have chosen any of the cocktails or at least had more complimentary options to choose from. Food was pricey but delicious! I enjoyed my full moon puff tart and tried a bit of the fries from the fish & chips entree. Well-seasoned and I liked how they were shaped like half-moons. Also, I know the oyster dip was meant to be fishy, but it was too much for me. Overall, a fun time with scandalously dressed drag queens, great food and drink, and a little bit of trivia. No magic, unfortunately, but I appreciated the smattering of Harry Potter themed memorabilia.

If you're a Harry Potter fan (or just love fun themed bars), Wizards and Wands is a must-visit. The vibe is magical -- from the decor to the music, everything is on theme and totally immersive. They even play Harry Potter-inspired music that adds to the whimsical atmosphere. We came for a 222 event with a big group of strangers and honestly had such a great time. It was super social, laid-back, and full of good energy. Everyone was there to have fun and enjoy the experience. To drink, I had the Wizard Brew, which is basically a butterbeer with alcohol -- and it was phenomenal. Sweet, creamy, and exactly what you'd hope for in a themed cocktail. I didn't try much else, but that one alone was worth it. We also did the Cauldron Shot, which was a bit of a letdown -- it was literally just Baileys poured into a tiny cauldron. Cute presentation, but not super exciting for $10. That said, the overall experience was so fun and unique, I'd 100% come back. Whether you're deep into the wizarding world or just want a quirky, good-time bar with great vibes, this spot delivers.

I can't give enough props to this place! This was my 2nd time here and I came here thise time for my birthday. They went above and beyond when it came to service. There was a festival that weekend and parking was an absolute nightmare. I got there an hour early and barely made it on time. Unfortunately this meant all my friends were 30 minutes late. The drag queens were SO ACCOMODATING and waited until most of my party arrived before starting their performance. The food and drinks were excellent as always. The brekkie shots were ordered for everyone and everyone loved their cocktails. I even got little gifts for my birthday. I had a custom cake I ordered for my party and the place was kind enough to leave it in the kitchen and serve it to us!! I offered the rest of the cake to the staff and drag queens. I can't tell you how great the crowd work was with the drag queens and how much fun we all had. All of my friends raved about how amazing of an experience everyone had. The place itself has the cutest Harry Potter decorations. This place is quickly becoming a staple in my events! I can't wait to come back. Thank you so much for making my birthday the best one yet!!!

What an awesome bar! If you are a Harry Potter fan, then this is the spot to visit for a hang with friends, delicious bites and drinks! So many photo ops as well. My favorite part was the HP themed music, and how clean this bar was! They had a hilarious sign at the front as well that said "wizards welcomed and muggles tolerated." They accept cash + all forms of card payments and parking is very limited outside. I do suggest you take a lift/uber/taxi etc so you get to enjoy awesome drinks while being safe! The drinks we tried were the wizards brew and Love potion. The wizards brew was a delicious take on the famous butterbeer in the films. It had brown butter washed rum, butterscotch, vanilla turbinado, house cream soda topped with vanilla whip cream! The butterscotch and rum flavors were strong but the vanilla whipped cream really tied the whole drink together. The love potion had tequila, hibiscus, mango, citrus, agave and the texture was frozen and layered. You could hardly taste the alcohol in this drink, because it tasted very refreshing overall. The servers were animated, kind and welcoming. You could tell they loved HP just as much! I highly recommend potter heads to visit the bar. It's so much fun!

We went in the middle of the day on Labor Day weekend so it was pretty empty with the whole city enjoying sunshine instead of going down a dark and beautiful trip into the dim bar area. The service was friendly and swift, we were thrilled to hear that this bar was not officially licensed by JKR and queer friendly, and the arancini was just as addictive as catching a real golden snitch. The drinks were absolutely delicious and eye catching in presentation. If I ever end up in the area again, I would visit for a drink without hesitation. Gender neutral bathroom was incredibly clean and perfect for photos.

Wizardly and Wonderful! We stopped by on a layover day and quickly explored witchy San Francisco. I fell in love with this town in one day, but this place was so special they had lights, magic, nitrogen infused Cheetos and superb magical drinks. I didn't give it five stars because they didn't have the oyster dip but I settled for fries, Cheetos, and magic. Service was top notch, we were welcomed immediately and shown around and then the show began! You must try.

This a really fun, one of a kind bar with good drinks and food! My friends and I went for drag brunch and had some Delicious specialty cocktails and split some small plates. Everything was good, and the drag performance was super fun! I also loved that you could buy "drag bucks" to tip the performers with! They're 1.25 per dollar so you're also kind of tipping the bar too, considering the show was no cover.

This was such a cute bar! Calling out to all of the Harry Potter fans, it is a must to check out this bar. Everything is so on theme even down to the restrooms. The drinks were very cute as well. I ended up ordering the Love Potion which has tequila, hibiscus, mango, citrus, agave, frozen and layered. It was really delicious! Unfortunately, we only had a few moments left in the city as we were catching the ferry back home. It would be really cool to check this place out well into the night. It is a must to come back and try more stuff on their menu including some food items that looked yummy.

I was seeing this Harry Potter inspired bar pop up on social media and just had to check it out. The idea is super cool and the menu and interior definitely fits the theme. Wizard brew (butter beer): B Pretty good drink, it's sweet but you can still taste the rum and it has a decently strong butterscotch flavor. Arancini: B Decent arancini but you'll find better ones at Italian restaurants. This one is more for aesthetic. They're shaped like golden snitches and have the wings. Mandrake hummus: C+ Fun to stay on theme, we got this since it was the vegetarian option. Just okay though, it's hummus with raw veggies. Fish and chips: B+ Super tasty fish, would be better if the batter fried up more crisp. Love the chips, they taste great and are crispy. Smore French toast: B Not really on theme, but this French toast tastes great. It is super sweet though so I would definitely share it.

Great service, if you are into HP then you must do this.. portions were good, and we stopped there for a drink and a bite; satisfied with the food, the menu looked innovative but the foods sort of the regular American ones .. nevertheless the quality was good! If you are in SF and if you're a HP fan, then give this a try!

This was such a cool place! I'm a HUGE fan of all things HP, and I have been wanting to come here. I heard about this place through word of mouth. I was greeted with a smile and was promptly seated. I came here on a Saturday night (ish). It was somewhat busy. I got a seat at the bar. The witches brew was a great butter beer with alcohol with lots of foam. The oyster dip was great as well. The only thing that was somewhat of a down was that restrooms. They needed to be cleaned. ASAP. The bartenders were very friendly and I was able to talk to them. Everyone here was "chill". Even though I was by myself (as usual)...I was able to have a good time.

I really like this bar -- it's close to Westwood, so if the line is too long, this is fun to pop into. I've also came with a girl group and we had incredible service even with just one person accommodating several tables. Every drink was pretty good and surprisingly their food menu had unique options. It's not just for drinks, but interesting dishes. I would go back for fries and more options. I've just tried their fun hot Cheeto + liquid nitrogen order (cold Cheetos anyone?)

You don't come here for the food or drinks but the vibe and the drag shows. This place is so cute! Love a good themed bar! And who doesn't like Harry Potter? That said, my drink was decent, but a little sweet and the pretzels we tried were pretty good too! I'm giving four stars only because the service was kind of slow and it was difficult to get our servers attention for quite some time. The interior is decked out in wizarding themes and so is the drag. The place is really inclusive and my partner and I did not feel out of place for even a second. We will definitely be back!

Cute Harry Potter themed bar. It's pretty dark inside, but their lights and decor gave it a pretty cool atmosphere. Me and my partner got the love potion, butter beer, and warm pretzel wands. I would compare the love potion to a blended margarita, but fruitier. I never had butter beer before, but it was exactly how I expected it to taste like. These drinks were STRONG, but in a good way. The pretzels were delicious. Cons: A big reason why I wanted to come here is because I was craving something sweet and wanted to try their naughty waffle. When I asked our server about it, she said they don't make them anymore. I was pretty bummed since this was something I was looking forward to. From looking at another review it looks like this isn't a discontinued item, but they only sell these on the weekends during brunch time. I would have appreciated if our server gave this explanation instead since it would have been more helpful. Service: Our drinks came out pretty fast. The pretzels came out after 25 min which didn't really make sense since there were hardly other people there. Overall, this was still a pretty fun experience. I would definitely come back with my friends who love Harry Potter, and want to enjoy the drink and atmosphere.

This place is super cool, chill place. The drinks look cool. Only went there for dessert, so bomb. The ice cream sandwich is full of flavor, definitely would come back

Made a reservation for early Saturday night but they were doing some maintenance and we could only sit at the bar. Bad luck because I hate stools but good luck because great view of the lights show set to Harry Potter music that happens occasionally! I was very unsure of whether this would be just an IG gimmick but the drinks were great and imo normal for SF pricing. At the bar we got great and attentive service, tried three different cocktails all excellent, hard to pick a favorite. Surprised again by how tasty the pretzel wands were! Very soft and chewy would def eat again. We'll definitely be back! Mischief managed.

Came here to celebrate our friends 35th birthday and oh boy what a great decision. The service was amazing. Davina took really great care of us. The drinks came out really well and it was super tasty. Definitely the atmosphere is something to talk about. Felt like we were in Universal Studios. Well definitely bring more friends to come back.

Love this new bar in the Marina. It was lively even on a Monday night and has a great aesthetic. Not a great area (right on Lombard) but at least it's right next to another good bar. Will definitely come back and try some of the drinks!

Love love love this place!! I came here for my bach party and the vibe/ambience was everything! The only thing that was just okay were some of the drinks like wizards brew and polly potion? I think it was? It had bourbon or whiskey in it but there wasn't really anything going on flavor wise. Love potion on the other hand was definitely the best drink and something I'd definitely order again. The burger was hot & delicious and the fries were great as well. We also loved our waiter Roman!! He made this experience one to remember for sure!

Fun Harry Potter-themed bar with good drinks! Service was a bit rushed, but the atmosphere and decor make it worth a visit.

I was able to make reservations on Resy for a Friday evening at 7:30pm for 4 people that same week. When we got there, they sat us right away. You can tell right away that the theme is Harry Potter once you walk in. The wall at the entrance with the saying "Wizards Wecome, Muggles Tolerated" is cute and photographable, but would be better if the words were lit (they are one of those neon light signs). This is considered a bar, so the food menu isn't one of a restaurant, however they have good options for vegetarians and meat eaters. We ordered several things for the table - Mandrakes Flower Pot Hummus (veggies & hummus), Phoenix Fries (potatoes that are chip-shaped but taste like fries), Witchy Wings w/ lemon pepper seasoning, Warm Pretzel Wands (w/ cheese fondue), and an order of Fish & Chips. The drinks were clever and cute. We got a couple of Love Potions (slushy, fruity) and the Wizard Brew (perhaps an alcohol version of Butter Beer?) Both good and both tasted like it didn't have alcohol at first sip. However, I can vouch for the Wizard Brew that there was definitely rum in it once I got to the bottom, lol. Food and drinks were good. Service was fine, but it did take a while between orders and a couple of asks to get the check. Overall, fun vibe.

Greetings Muggles and magical folks, my visit to Wizards and Wands was truly amazing. I had the privilege of being high school assistant principal for the fabulous Amoura Teese, hostess of the Drag Brunch, so I was thrilled to finally make it with my best friend. We loved the themed decor and cocktail menu and immediately ordered the delectable Wizard Brew and some yummy Cauldron shots to get us in the spirit. We ordered Deviled Dragon Eggs which were comped by the wonderful manager for showing Amoura and all the beautiful drag queens so much love. I enjoyed the S'Mores French Toast while my bestie had the Two Eggs special. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the Drag Bucks were flying.

Not a huge Harry Potter fan but down to check out anything "themed." I'm here for the creativity, and the magic that awaits. I went with the Unicorn blood bc it had Prosecco. Prettiest drink with glitter on top. Great drink, plenty strong. Def would come back dressed in character!

Hours are never correct. They're always closed when they say they are supposed to be open. When the hell are they even open?

Went for drag brunch with friends. The food was much better than expected after reading some reviews but we also made sure to go to the first sitting of the day. We did try our best to make sure we all knew what we wanted to eat or drink since once the show started service had to slow. Some of the dancers were more entertaining or lively than others but the way the venue seats people you may miss out. We were sat toward the kitchen and the table next to us blocked the view of activity that mostly happened midway to front of the restaurant. Since we couldn't see we kind of wanted to bounce but they didn't attempt to come with bills until the show was done so we were kind of stuck in the back. Never fear if you forgot cash you can get faux money from a charge to your card to tip the dancers. Cash is probably easier for all involved. Overall fun experience, maybe would go back for drinks but probably not as it likely is crowded as a bar.

Although we're not super big Harry Potter fans, we decided to check out Wizards & Wands to explore a new bar in the Marina area. As soon as we walked in we were impressed with the ambiance. From the Harry Potter themed paintings on the walls to the lava-like floor (is that a HP reference?), we immediately felt far removed from Lombard Street. For the first round, my partner got the Butter Beer while I got the Smoke & Mirrors. I really enjoyed how the Smoke & Mirrors was smoked right at our table, and it had a nice spirit forward and smoky taste. My partner loved the Butter Beer, which was very butterscotch forward as advertised, with a delicious vanilla whipped cream. For the second round, my partner got the Banana Baby while I got the Liquid Luck. My partner loved the Banana Baby, which almost tasted like a cup of liquid banana bread (in the best way possible) and the Liquid Luck was tasty and refreshing, with a nice hint of citrus and jalapeño.

Came here expecting a Harry Potter themed cocktail bar, but this was moreso a Harry Potter themed restaurant where they serve drinks. Most tables seemed to have people eating full meals and there weren't many areas to stand with a drink. The music was current pop hits/loud music that didn't necessarily fit the theme (with random transition moments of the movie score). The decorations were cute and the drinks were fine but I wouldn't make the effort to return. That being said, maybe the food is great!

One of the many perks of traveling is getting the opportunity to visit theme bars! While visiting SF, I stopped into Wizards & Wands for drinks with my mister. Once you enter the bar, you're magically transported to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. With Harry Potter theme music playing when you enter the bar, one's gaze goes to the candles floating from the ceiling and the mural of the great hall. This bar is also known for craft cocktails and Harry Potter-themed items on the menu. We ordered and enjoyed- Polly potion Unicorns blood Nan's headache medicine Smoke and mirrors The drinks were great! I'd have to say my favorite drink was the smoke and mirrors. The menu items looked delectable, but we were not hungry during our visit. I hope to return to Wizards & wands to try food from their menu. We had excellent service and a magical experience during our visit!

We stopped here for the Harry Potter ambiance, & it did not disappoint. So many cool decorations. They had holiday theme going on so it was Christmas @ Hogwarts vibes. We got the butter-beer & spiked hot chocolate. Drinks were 2/5 pre-batched & hard to drink. Maybe an acquired taste. The butter-beer wasn't bad but I've had better. This is definitely more of a dive bar experience, but the prices didn't really reflect that. The price was not reflective of the quality of the drinks. Service was fine, but this is definitely a one time spot for us.

Super excited to finally cross this off my list. Absolutely the thing for Harry Potter fans to do on a Saturday night. The space is decent, I mean it is a bar in SF. The staff is really friendly and genuinely seem like they enjoy being there which makes the whole experience better. Ordered the zero proof Butterbeer and the fish and chips. Man I'm telling you right now, whatever you order is good enough for 2 people. These portions are large. I'd rate the food maybe 3/5. I kept burping those fish and chips all night. We stayed for maybe almost 2 hours. Definitely a must try once at least and a great photo opportunity. I need to come back one more time to get the desserts and bring my best friend. And yes, they do sell wands for an epic duel.

Over the weekend my boyfriend and I went to this Harry Potter INSPIRED bar. I emphasize "inspired" because that is exactly what it is (licensing restrictions with Warner Brothers prohibits this actually being a Harry Potter themed bar). That being said, we are inspired to return, hopefully for their drag brunch! Staff were kind and struck up conversations with us while seated at the bar. The soft pretzels were standard but the oyster dip was straight fire! Of course, those cocktails were the best part (besides the decor). The butter beer was sweet and creamy. The poly potion drink was frothy with soft notes of mint.

First time coming here and was suprised with a drag show! We went on Sunday around 2pm. I do wish that they updated their Instagram with information so we could have prepared better before going (knowing we wouldn't be able to take as many photos of the decor since it was very focused on the drag show and we didn't want to interrupt). Drinks ordered: Love Potion (9/10): the best looking drink out of all we ordered and the best tasting too. The mango was delicious and refreshing. Polly Potion (7/10): a decent cocktail but I wish I could taste more pear and yuzu since it was very overpowered by the bourbon. Irish Coffee (8/10): tasted the alcohol more than the coffee but pretty good. Alcohol was STRONG. Cauldron Shot (9/10): gets a bit messy drinking out of the small cauldron if you're not careful with it but love the creativity! The staff were very kind and helpful with choosing drinks as well.

We came for dinner during the Mistletoe season, ordered a couple of delicious and festive cocktails from their specialty menu, as well as deviled eggs (that are colored for the holiday season), chicken pot pie and the Phoenix fries. The drinks were amazing, one with charred rosemary and the other as a spiced egg nog (but without the real egg nog flavor which delighted me). The food is nothing amazing (tasty enough for bar food), but it's great to be able to eat at a holiday bar with the fun cocktails. I really love all the Mistletoe locations, and I'm excited to try them all! Service here is good. And if you like themed bars this is a must. So much unique decor. Very loud inside; the sound echoes!

Nice to have been here but..... Decor was great, including sounds and synced light show Our server was great but we felt bad there was only one of him attending to a full house! Whimsical and cute looking drinks and food yet these were the reason for the "but" Phoenix Fries - yes, good! No complains here Drako's Oyster Dip - this was a winner! Deviled Dragon Egg - just cute, this we don't recommend Three-Legged Fox - as a mocktail, not so great hahaha Love Potion - Good slushie but could use more tequila haha Wizard Rock Cafe - just cute! Almost unedible. The burnt/smoke taste on the cake was terrible. Yes, we would recommend for peeps to visit and try. Yet for us, once is enough. Wish they had the naughty waffle on their dinner menu hahaha
