The ambiance is accentuated by an impressive custom cocktail menu, where creativity shines through delicious concoctions like the wheatgrass/aloe cocktail and the oolong sesame oil drink.

When you want a place to hang out, catch up or unwind, this place is awesome! The ambience inside is so peaceful looking with all the live plants. You can pretend you are sitting outside in a garden with a cold delicious drink in your hand. You won't be disappointed with the custom cocktail menu. All the drinks are delicious and masterfully crafted. The service is great from the front door, behind the bar and at your seat. The owners are so friendly, they make you feel so welcomed and relaxed. I have never gone to a bar soo inviting. I will definitely be visiting again and if I were you I wouldn't pass up this gem.
Lovely service, intimate and cozy atmosphere and delicious cocktails (with some really funny names).
Great vibe, drinks and service but their tip structure is ridiculous. I’m always happy to tip for great service so don’t have a problem with the three suggested options of 20% 25% and 28% (25&28 are a little steep). The issue is they charge a 4% credit card processing fee and include that plus the sales tax on the total amount you’re tipping on. The suggested tip should be based on the items ordered. Paying tip on the tax and mandatory fees is so dumb, and kind of a shady way to get extra money.
came here on a friday evening with friends, the vibe is always lovely here. the decor is very nicely done and there’s a good mix of bar seating and tables. the drinks are great! i got the wheatgrass/aloe cocktail (going out on a limb), but i’ve also had their oolong sesame oil one before as well. would definitely come back again :)
Got the espresso martini type drink, can’t remember for the life of me what it was though! Greta ambiance, drinks priced for the vibes but strong enough to be worth it.
Such a cute and fun plant filled cocktail bar! They have an SF coin laundry sign, but if you see the plants in the window you're in the right place. We came right around opening time on a Saturday and had our choice of seating. They were still serving their holiday drinks in early January, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered jumping to conclusions, and my friends ordered formulated opinion, big nick energy, and the holiday mocktail (big nick energy without alcohol). We also tried their fa la la la la shots. Everything was delicious! A great place to catch up over drinks and can't wait to go back!
Highly recommended. Beautiful decoration. Great selection of cocktails.
I am OBSESSED with this bar! It is so cute inside and they have the nicest bar tender! I came in on a Saturday and they had chill music playing with all their Christmas decorations still up (before New Years). It is beautiful inside...seriously stunning. The owners put so much work into decorating, and when it isn't Christmas time, there are still so many beautiful (real) plants everywhere! They have bar seating, chairs, and a couch! My wife and I both had the "Going Out on a Limb" drink and it was delicious! 30 even for 2 drinks is a great price! They are LGBT friendly, a safe space for BIPOC, and pet friendly! Good drinks, kind employees, kind owners, cute set up....we will 100% be back! New favorite bar in all of San Francisco!
