The semi-secret back bar at Dalva is moody and sexy, with low lighting and red-painted walls. Nestled into one of the low tables with a potent nightcap, you'll want to go in for that first kiss Read more

Bar inside a bar. Go through Dalva (bar) and past the bathrooms to get here. Best cocktails I've had in the city. Gets busy late at night and on weekends. Get here on the earlier side for quiet.

Beers in the front, cocktails in the back. The scotch + bitters cocktail wasn't my jam but I hear they make some killer old fashioned here. (note all the diff bitters hanging out on the bar)

Gin and celery tonic! Really chill intimate vibe- dimly lit, red walls, 70-80s music. Bartender is great. Wasn't too crowded on the Friday night that we went and we got seats at the bar. Good crowd

This is my favorite bar in the city. Great cocktails at $11 a piece. Get whatever the special is and take it upstairs or out to Dalva. I will probably be there too.

for cocktail geeks who disdain pretension. guest bartending appearances by local & visiting drink masters, bar staff display an adept hand at elegant but never fussy cocktails. tunes of '70s and '80s.

A good place to have a drink or 2 if you're in the area. Some cool taxidermy stuff on the walls
Brian LongtinJune 17, 2015
Hidden and tiny, so come early or on off nights. Love a good cocktail with jalapeño.

In the secret room in the back of Dalva, it's a perfect way to seek refuge from the karaoke crowd out front.

Intimate vibe and creative menu. My go-to place for craft cocktails in the mission.

A rare nice cocktail bar in the mission. Enter Dalva from the street and keep walking.

A literal hole in the wall. Try to nab a seat in the back. It's quite cozy.
Sabrina EdgeDecember 28, 2013
David is the best bartender there go to the hideout and ask for a drink of his choice he never disappoints

Cozy seating, dim lighting, and friendly bartenders.

Order your drink here and then move to Dalva seating to enjoy a movie screening.

My favorite cocktail bar in the city. Everything is super craft!

Make up a good name for a drink. Order or and tell the bartender you just did so and for him to make it. Repeat.

I mostly just come here to molest the jackalope in the corner. But their cocktails are decent, too.
David GolborneApril 23, 2017
I know you want cocktails but they have Pliny the Younger or elder or whatever the rare one is called.
katie naglMay 4, 2013
go here for amazing cocktails and some uninterrupted eye contact - it's an AT&T dead zone.
Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017
The drinks are fantastic, I don't even like drinking!
André WéberJanuary 19, 2019
Cosy upstairs, make sure you book a table💁‍♂️

Gin and celery drink feels like a juice cleanse. $$$ only. Always easy to get a drink.
Trygve KatigbakNovember 7, 2011
Hideout brings out some serious shizz-ness goodness yo! You better take advantage of it! Oh yes, pretty intimate as well. (:
Tim JulienDecember 29, 2015
Grungy speakeasy that feels like it could be at home in The Lower East Side.

They open at 7pm every day... so get there early if you want to camp out all night. Read more

Lackluster cocktails by pretentious bartenders who apparently have something better to do.
