This was easily one of the best bars I visited in San Francisco. The service felt high-end, almost white glove, and every detail was on point. I had a duck fat washed Old Fashioned, and it was one of the smoothest, most memorable drinks I’ve had in a long time. The space was quiet and intimate, yet still spacious and comfortable. Everything about the experience was excellent.

Classy cocktail bar located on the second floor. Atmosphere is really nice and intimate. However, drinks were ok at best and massively overpriced. There is a 20% mandatory surcharge included with every order. Make sure to check out the Saint Batman artwork.

We love Cold Drinks Bar and visit regularly, often bringing friends along. The drinks are consistently delicious and really speak for themselves. It can get busy later in the evening, so reservations are recommended if you don’t want to wait or have a larger group. A fantastic spot for drinks.

asian styled speakeasy specializing in whisky located up the elevator from china live. drinks were a hit or miss, most were too spirit forward for my liking. service was also incredibly slow and didn’t like the mandatory 20% tip. interior ambiance was nice though. overall, not worth the high price and wouldn’t go back. rabbit year resolution: the only good cocktail out of the 4 my friends tried. bright, refreshing. beastie and bean: smoky and nutty. didn’t hate it but felt one dimensional. oaxacan princess & dock of the bay: skip

Love that place. I discovered this place by pure coincidence. We were having dinner at China live and the cocktails were fantastic, the server told is to check out upstairs and the rest is history. Drinks are well executed, balanced and creative. Let's be honest, it's on the pricey side but I its well worth the extra $ for quality.
