14 Best New Bars to Try in San Francisco Right Now

"Join the disco dance party at Zhuzh, a new bar in Nob Hill from the same team behind Macondry. This time, they ditched the lush plants in favor of a glitter-strewn dance floor, spinning disco balls, and bright neon signs. There are six cocktails on tap, all priced at just $15, at what the owners are calling a “micro club.” The Magic Wand, for example, blends spicy mezcal with blood orange, makrut lime leaf, and serrano chile, while the Genmaicha Matchatini swaps green tea for coffee as a riff on an espresso martini." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

UPDATE: The DJ changes every night - that’s great to hear! Has potential. The bartenders were pretty cool to me and my date. Decent drinks too. Wasn’t a fan of the music tho. The DJ was playing experimental bathhouse-style music that progressively got louder and clashed with the fun disco theme. Would go back if in the area but wouldn’t go out of my way to patronize it

Incredible cocktails - draft and otherwise - accompanied by exciting DJs both for happy hour and late night! This place is bringing back a much needed vibe (terrible word but), post-pandemic, to the Polk Gulch scene. Well done, and bravo!!!

Zhuzh is actually a queer friendly cocktail bar, not a restaurant. The decor and and ambiance were great! DJ nights on the weekends. We went on a Saturday evening and were pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the patrons. Drinks were delicious, staff courteous. Highly recommend.

This place has a lot of potential. Great location, excellent decorations and actually overall a good starter vibe for a place still trying to find its regulars and place in the community. I definitely appreciated the gay disco vibe. What I did not appreciate was being completely ignored by the first two bartenders before the third “begrudgingly” took care of me. I was meeting friends and they had a tab open. After being disrespected by the first two bartenders I honestly didn’t really feel like supporting the establishment but felt obligated to once the third guy felt he could be bothered with me. You won’t last long if you treat paying customers this way- especially the old guy who chuckled while I stood there at the counter being ignored like a complete fool.

Such a fun place to go dance. Really nice staff, ambiance and great music. My only gripe is the lights are too bright. It’d be an even more dancy atmosphere if the lights were just a smidge lower. Otherwise a must go!

Although the drinks were great and the vibe was fun, I was really disappointed by the music this Saturday. This is advertised as a disco dance club and the DJ was advertised as playing vinyl indie dance sets, soul & pop. What we got Saturday was house music that nobody was dancing to.

Really cool vibe, art disco. Love the dance floor and the DJ booth. Bartenders were accommodating and made solid drinks. Excited that this place opened! Just wish the drink menu on the wall was illuminated in someway, hard to read.

Came here the first week they're open and was totally wowed! Blown away by the gorgeous decor, super friendly staff, and super affordable and TASTY drinks (especially for a club). The city and neighborhood has been needing a spot like this for a while, super fresh!

Definitely an upgrade with a bit of class and "Zhuzh". Bringing back the gay scene to Polk Gulch. Now we have options besides Cinch. $10 cocktails, fast services, disco on the 1's and 2's and beautiful faces. You're in for a good time.

It's a cute little bar but not a lot of people are there. We came because we saw their matcha latte drink and had to try it. It was SO GOOD. I will say it is very strong which can be a good thing since it would be worth the price but the more I drank it the more I could taste the alcohol so it was a bit difficult to finish at the end. Their pigs in space drink was okay. Also very alcoholic but the rim had a taste that we did not really like. The service here was also good. I would say that if you come here definetly try the matcha drink it is the best.

My friend brought me here. As a long time resident in the Castro, I was skeptical. It's insanely chill and the drinks are strong. I also have to give a shoutout to the beautiful bathrooms!!

Went here on a random Wednesday a few weeks back. The drinks were not great. They tasted like straight up juice. Maybe they're still perfecting their cocktail menu, but hoping they change it up. I think this place has potential tho, there was a Dj and a dance floor. I'm sure it's a bit better on a weekend night.

Sister! Can I be honest? The Genmaicha Matchatini (with oat milk) is bomb and reminds me of Japan. The dance floor is so fun! The vibe is so fun! I come here to let loose, hear some tunes, meet the coolest people, in a neighborhood atmosphere! Come. Have. Fun!

What a fantastic Wednesday night outing to celebrate our friend Adela's birthday! Our dining experience at Dacha was truly delightful. And now the brand-new mini bar club Zhuzh. It was a shame I didn't capture photos of the drinks, but I started with a vodka soda and later enjoyed the unique matcha-tini, while our friend had the exquisite espresso martini. Meeting the bar's owner was a highlight--he's a great guy, and his dedication to the space is evident. The ambiance was charming, with a live DJ adding to the lively atmosphere. We've been told that weekends are even more exciting here, so we're already looking forward to returning. The blend of a cozy dive bar vibe with a clean, modern aesthetic really won us over.

Sexy mini disco dream club. Thank you for creating this space! Glitter dance floor, disco ball bouquet, innovative drinks, and stellar vibes make Zhuzh theeee spot for a night out.

Good atmosphere, service, drink selection, music and much more! Definitely going to be a new hotspot for people to be

Their signature cocktails are mass produced in a vat and served out of a tap like a beer brewery. We ordered a non signature cocktail, a dirty martini, and we were served a warm glass of vodka with an olive in it. There's no actual bartending being done here, and even the signature cocktails were not enjoyable. The staff and ambiance were fine but the selling point of a cocktail bar are the cocktails.

Great new cocktail bar in Nob Hill. The bartenders were really nice and the dancefloor was fun and lively.

The ambiance was fun and dancey but I came for the genmaicha and it was boozy and chalky. Like a badly mixed matcha latte. No thanks.
