StephanySeptember 9, 2018Craig Lane is THE cocktail creating genius. Sit at the bar, tell him what you like and he’ll whip up something magical. For the less adventurous, the Whiz Bang and the Brown Derby were both excellent
It is almost always possible to get a table here last minute, even if you are a larger group. Cocktails are great, and service is nice. Pro-tip: Great brunch on Sundays 10am-2pm (yes it is back!).
Brian StraussMay 9, 2015You might not find a better bar program in the city. Beautiful Sea Ranch in the City vibe. Good sand dabs when we were there. Love the tall strong rum drinks. Top notch whiskey sour.
Jason ShugarsNovember 22, 2014Incredible cocktail selection and friendly bartenders make this a great spot to go before a show at Slim's. Try the house old fashioned. It's barrel aged!
Tyler BrockAugust 20, 2015Amazing food. Sit outside on a nice night. Fish special seems like a scam: "push the fish, it's going bad" but it was not! Delicious!
Alex RainertMarch 27, 2013It's called a Kentucky Buck and it's not on the menu. It's got bourbon and ginger and it's boozy and refreshing at the same time. Now go talk to your bartender...
Vinny La BarberaDecember 23, 2016Great bar with even better cocktails. The bartenders are really creative and love to revive old drinks into new exciting ones. Sit at the bar and learn something.
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014The architecture is urban & there is an agricultural emphasis on the food. The restaurant will satisfy your eyes & conscience as well as your belly. Read more
Ross WSSeptember 5, 2016With more than a frisson of hipster in the air, Bar Agricole explores this lesser-known rum style with a swagger. Other delectable cocktails are served, as is small-plate, big-ticket food.
The "California" version of Holland gin comes from St. George Spirits and stars in its Rye Gin Old Fashioned. For the cherry effect, Lane swears by the Leopold Bros. Maraschino from Colorado.
Anthony AdamsAugust 20, 2016Amazing cocktail program: try the black tea sour - taste like a lemon meringue pie. And the house old fashioned is one of the best drinks I've had in the city.
Jade FJanuary 15, 2017Really great American cuisine. Had the brisket which was very soft. Also really liked the olives and the green tea.
Shayan SanyalAugust 27, 2015Come here for the cocktails. The food is ok, but don't believe them when they say family size portions. The wine is expensive. Stick to the cocktails. The tequila fix is fantastic and spicy.
Caro SchieferMay 8, 2017Cocktails were very good. Food was ok. Burger is only the bun and very good meat with mustard - that's it. They are supplied by local dealers. Cool atmosphere and also includes outside seating.
Liz McLean KnightJune 28, 2015The cocktails and bartenders are outstanding, and it's a gorgeous minimal modernly designed spot with the front half an outdoor wooden patio. Heart.
Find. Eat. Drink.December 4, 2011Local chef Traci des Jardins picks Bar Agricole as one of her favorite cocktail places in SF. Co-owner Thad Vogler told us "start with a Ti Punch and an Old Fashioned with some of our charcuterie."
Iris NgJune 11, 2012I enjoy the decor and atmosphere. Cocktails are delicious and appetizers are tasty, but main dishes are so salty! Tried the monkey face eel and lamb chops- both were hella salty! Menu changes nightly.
UliSeptember 21, 2015There is different types of expensive, one is the well-whatever-its-super-good kind, the other one is the are-they-out-of-their-mind kind. This is the latter sort. Terrible ROI on food.
Marina K.July 25, 2014$2 oysters all day Sunday are great! Also great fresh from scratch cocktails on the open air patio made for a great evening.- Ashley MowreyJuly 16, 2015$15 cocktails? Steep. Huge space, nice bartenders, and not crowded. Same owners as Trou Nomad, so it's fancy food and expensive alcohol. price is all inclusive though, so it almost evens out.
BarChickAugust 22, 2013Worldwide cocktail guru Thad Vogler, has changed the game. Come here to kick off a night out, or stay all night, its up to you.
Liza PNovember 5, 2017Super tasty cocktails, great small plates, modern interior. I really love their version of spaghetti carbonara!
Chris EdwardsJune 13, 2015Love getting brunch here on a sunny day and sitting in the outdoor patio. They take reservations for brunch too!
7x7 MagazineOctober 23, 2012Can't get enough of the fried eggs with pork belly - greens and tender beans lighten up a plate of fried eggs with big chunks of seared pork belly. Read more
Eliza BethMarch 7, 2017Cocktails are good! :) Come here for delish $1 oysters from 5-6! Can't say I'd recommend the beignets...
Priyanka LMay 10, 2016Amazing experience.Queen Charlotte,Planters punch,goat cheese toast,flatbread,ricotta salad, farinata,roths reserve and pear tart.
Nate PagelOctober 7, 2013Master bartender Craig is super nice and can masterfully make anything you want. Alway like sitting at the bar but especially here.
Aaron BerthMarch 31, 2014Food and cocktails were superb. Service was friendly but cool and the meal felt very rushed. I wanted to enjoy the evening but items were coming out minutes after ordering.
Bon Appetit MagazineMarch 30, 2011We've lushed over the Hot Castle Dip cocktail - now onto the food. Try the smoked black cod croquettes w/ packed wallop under their crust. The chopped liver on toast is a delight. Read more
San Francisco MagazineApril 25, 2013The large brick-floored, wood-walled, and plant-filled area is one of the prettiest SF spots to sit outside and drink on a sunny day. Read more
Enda GAugust 19, 2011Beautiful space, excellent service. Food is imaginative but all four of our party reckoned the chef was heavy handed with the salt. Still a great experience. Recommended.
Freya-Rose TannerOctober 12, 2014Most beautiful brunch in the garden here. The French toast was epic, huge portion and taste to perfection.- 7x7 MagazineNovember 30, 2012Wintry and aromatic, the Hot Castle Dip with calvados, absinthe and fresh mint is the perfect cold weather drink to warm you up!

- Frances JamesJune 7, 2015Delicate plates, solid cocktails. Modern ambiance, one of the best patios in the city. Not cheap.
Claire PedersenJanuary 19, 2015Great cocktails! Food was pretty good (fresh & flavorful), but portions were pretty small and the check was pretty big...I would pass on this place again.
Paul BarronJuly 18, 2013There are few restaurants and bars that make the cut for @foodable network and this is one. Be intrepid and try it all.
Tasting TableAugust 9, 2012Come here in the early evening to sit on the patio and enjoy a Fruit Cup (gin with chinato and ginger) with a plate of fried romano beans and salt-cod fritters: Read more
Fred Stevens-SmithSeptember 8, 2015Their food is absolutely incredible. Expensive but worth it. Also tip included = my undying fandom.
Scott SilvermanAugust 6, 2013Agricole is a rum distilled from fresh sugar cane juice instead of molasses. It's clean, earthy, and delicious!
A great brunch. Good dinner. And a strong cocktail program. Nice day? Grab a table outside!- Nate PagelAugust 17, 2011#2 of: A restaurant with some of the best bartenders in the city. Sit at the bar and drink, then eat if you want to. food is amazing too.
John HarringtonApril 15, 2013Don't miss the amazing heated concrete lounge from Galanter & Jones on the patio. It's like sitting in a hot tub except you stay dry.
