$14 for a little tiny pour of basic Whiskey? And a weird vibe, for me. Might be your thing but I'll pass.

The bartender service is amazing especially Desiree. She is the best bartender in the Bay Area.

Just trashy. Bad music, cheap decor, has a lot of potential but just misses the mark.

Thursday it wasn't overly crowded and I watched the soccer game USA vs Turkey. After Turkey won, they played Arabic music videos and a beautiful talented belly dancer performed. I really enjoyed the exposure to another culture. I had the hummus and beef kabobs that evening. Both were incredible. Best hummus I've ever had! And the hookah was 10/10..very smooth and kept the coals coming. Friday and Saturday night were fun and more like a lounge vibe. Lots of people but plenty of room as they actually limit how many people can come in with their awesome security doorman. Still played Arabic videos and mixed in some American hip hop as well..great vibe. Had the lamb flatbread both of these nights. Super tasty and great value. You get a ton! HUGE shoutout to Niyaz and Sam! They made me feel welcome every night with big smiles and friendly conversation. Niyaz even walked me to my uber and checked the license plate/spoke to driver. Such kind people! Great food, excellent hookah, strong drinks (HIGHLY recommend Golden Hour on cocktail menu), and beautiful aesthetic. Will make it a priority to visit Pasha any time I find myself in San Fran :)

Regardless, it's definitely the watering hole I didn't know I needed until I finally entered their portal. It's dark in here but not in a bad way. With its fanciful back wall mural (Photo 4), it felt a bit like a sultan's harem that seemingly doubles as an Ottoman coffeehouse. I came in around 4PM on a weekday. This proved to be an ideal time because you can tell this compact bar gets packed quickly. I had heard they were famous for their renditions of classic cocktails, in particular, martinis straight up. What an intentional coincidence as I was in the mood for an Espresso Martini. I'm hardly ever not in the mood, so it was a good thing the bartender was seasoned enough to make a silky smooth one (Photo 7). It was more than reasonably priced at $14. While I didn't catch her name, the bartender was cordial and just chatty enough to mitigate my introverted social sensibilities. More customers started to trickle in, an older profile than the other popular Haight bars. I can say that because that's my geriatric DNA. I like The Alembic and The Mad Dog in the Fog, but this one may have just taken the edge. COCKTAILS - 5 stars...genuinely smooth espresso martini AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...a bit dark, a bit exotic, wish it was a bit bigger SERVICE - 5 stars...excellent bartender TOTAL - 5 stars...getting into a zam zam jam RELATED - Exploring the Haight?
