    Great bar with good service and music! The waiters are really friendly and make surprisingly good drinks even though there is a huge crowd. Great mix of classy and fun!

    Great cozy spot with live music, interesting cocktail mix and good bar food. Can't go wrong with the charcuterie plate and deviled eggs. Only downside was that the band acoustics were a little loud.

    Because the steampunk SOMA bars you've been visiting didn't have nearly enough of a "Southern French mansion" feel to them, it's time to hit up Bergerac. Read more

    The bartenders really know their stuff, on a slow night my friends and I will often talk different drinks with the bar staff and get to try some on the spot creations. Almost always excellent.

    Fantastic sazeracs. The bartenders really know their stuff, and you can ask for whatever tastes you want, like a "minty whiskey drink", and they'll make it.

    Always fun. Always a shit show. Don't count on the wait staff to be helpful, but they're mostly nice. If your looking for a good deep house club, head upstairs to Audio, it's the only one in SF.

    Need a place for happy hour with coworkers? Throwback “social” drinks here (punch bowls and oversized shakers served tableside) meant for four to seven people can jumpstart idling conversation. Read more

    Incredible food- Everything was great. Highlights include the meatballs, clam fritters & heirloom tomato salad. Then again, sliders were awesome too!

    Order the Crochet Rouge if you like Manhattans or one of their Social Pitchers and share it with friends. Also order the tuna kitfo

    Very funky antler on the wall decor & loungy couches. Decent drinks, a little on the sweet side. The extremely loud hip hop totally clashes, though.

    We’re always on the search for a fantastic Manhattan and the Barrel Aged “Manhattan Project” was one of the finest. We’d also forgotten how much we loved a good old Grasshopper.

    In a word: bummer. The place looks great and the service was good, but they need to work on their menu. Pricier than it should be as well.

    When making reservations, ask for Kyle. He is beyond amazing in taking care of you!

    You apparently will NOT be 86'd from here for continually wrapping yourself in the cowhide "blanket" that covers one of the couches, despite what looked like quite a stern scolding from the hostess.

    Russell Davis designed the cocktail menu at this bar, just down the block from Bar Agricole.

    Bar was very crowded late night. Bottle service was surprisingly inattentive considering how few tables they have to mind.

    Closest spot for drinks near skins. Cool lounge area with couches. Kind staff.

    Nothing special. You can skip this place. Bartenders do put on a show on the weekends but it's nothing really special.
