Brandt Beef Tartar Toast
Carena N.

Pretty decent bar food, while small - great to compliment the drinks! I personally loved the bread options (steak tartar + bread/butter) and the steak & fries! My fav drink of the night has to be the Tropic like it's Yacht - which is kinda like a Mai Tai! If you like gin & tonics, you'll also like the Long Walk on a Short Pear. It's refreshing with a slight hint of pear! If you catch them at closing, they do a ritual with everyone at the bar. I won't share the secret here though and let you experience it yourself. C: Super friendly and attentive staff, good drinks, good food. Would definitely come back!

Had stumbled upon this hidden gem while looking for an oyster spot with friends. It wasn't crowded at all when we came at 8:00pm on a weekend. Our server, Benjamin, was amazing! He gave us so many good recommendations as well as amazing recommendations for other good bars for us to try out for the night. The oysters were delicious and came on a boat. My favorite dish was definitely the Tuna Tostado, which is a must try if you come here. I loved the ambiance as it was quiet but still a chic bar vibe. The drinks were great and so tasty. I would definitely come back again when I visit the city!

Specialty Cocktails for the evening

New spot, and I have to admit this is a hidden gem. They have jazz Wednesdays, which have turned out to be a unique SF experience. The last two times that I've been in there. The cocktail game was absolute originating from the mind of a seasoned chef and bartender. Larry really knows his stuff, and outwardly digs his pickled concoctions that garnish beautifully crafted cocktails. Erin from Hendricks Gin was there handing out goodies, got this beautiful fan and had a Hendrix gin watermelon cocktail with a pickled watermelon rind. Otherwise the ambience is great. The hotel is really old. It has strong community vibes, and everybody there seems to partake in a grand communal experience. I haven't had the luxury of having food there yet! Drop in for some music and a cocktail, and let me know how it goes!

Beautiful and well-curated cocktails. The space is warmly decorated with dim lighting, bar seating, couches, and tables. They offer a wide selection of drinks, and the staff gave us an excellent recommendation. We tried the Blue Berrymore. The duck fat complemented the cognac perfectly.

lovely little bar in union square inside a hotel. we tried a bunch of drinks & even the oyster shooters which were so potent but a fun time to slurp. I normally don't love plain martinis but the maritime martini was delicious with the sour plum inside. it's a great spot for a date night, pre dinner drinks & looks like they have live music occasionally.

I love a good hotel bar and this is one of them. When you enter the space you feel like you're transported to another time. The bartenders are so knowledgeable and helped me and my friends navigate the drink menu seamlessly. The fries are a great snack to have while sipping a delicious cocktail. They have live music here from time to time so I can't wait to go back and experience that next time.

Food was deliciously unique. The loaded fries! Rock fish crudo is a must. Service-on point, quick and friendly. Great choices in music. Cozy, cute, welcoming place.

Great pleasant surprise. Cozy bar, live jazz, friendly staff with a really fantastic bar manager (shout out to Larry!). We came here with our toddler with mellow expectations looking for an easy early dinner and cocktails, and instead were met with super friendly service, a personable bar manager, fantastic martinis, solid food, and great live music. Prices were reasonable to boot and they don't do BS junk fees - this place is a winner and deserves all the great reviews - it's giving elevated neighborhood watering hole vibes. We'll be back.

Menu - Wednesday, December 18th, 2024

Date: Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 Time: around 6:45pm Party of: 2 *Martini ($20) *Manhattan ($17) *High West Double Rye ($12): as a cocktail ($3) *Haku ($12): as a martini ($4) *Savory Snack Mix ($5) Long ago, I had a group of friends who used to love coming to Burritt Room. Since then, I know this spot has changed quite a few times. A friend and I were in the area and decided to check out the most recent incarnation, Martime. The layout of the venue has pretty much stayed the same. It was a chill Wed night, so we just grabbed two seats at the bar. The bartender was awesome. She was a great conversationalist. We learned a little about how Maritime came to be. We were here for a good 1.5 hours, so ended up doing two rounds. I started off with the manhattan from the menu. Spirit forward, but still nicely balanced. For the 2nd round, I asked her to surprised me with a good follow up. I can't recall what was in it other than the rye, but if memory serves it was similar to a Brooklyn. She actually paired it with chocolate pretzels on the side. I am not a sweet and savory, nor a chocolate person, but this complemented the cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised. I've actually been to four different versions of this venue - Burritt Room, Mystic Room, Fisher Loft, and now Maritime. Gotta say, even with the changing of hands, it's still very consistent in terms of my enjoyment. Plus, parking is easy as the Sutter Stockton garage is right across the street. REVIEW #3650

Great service by efficient and super nice staff
Rob K.

One of the best hotel bars in SF. It's on the second floor of the Palihotel right by the Stockton St tunnel. That block is a bit grubby, but worth the trek for this hidden gem. We went on a Saturday night after a show, planning to just get a quick drink. But ended up staying for a while because it was just so frigging nice. Their specialty cocktails are magic - they really show the craft of mixology, with surprising and delicious combinations. We were seated promptly and service was great throughout the evening. There's a long bar, and tables and couches spread throughout the space. The room itself is beautiful, honoring its Edwardian heritage but very contemporary. The space is comfy and elegant, and the laid back vibe works well for everything from shorts-and-tee to an upscale night on the town. Cocktails were so good (Maritime Martini is amazing) we had two rounds, then tried some of the food. Its a robust, seafood-focused bar menu. Really fresh local oysters, and we also shared the steak and fries, which was generous and their fries are amazing. Looking around at what others were ordering, would say that portions overall are generous and prices are reasonable for SF, eg, they had multiple wines by the glass for under $15. Rare these days for a nice bar.

Flan

I stopped into Bar Maritime--connected to the Palihotel San Francisco--while staying at the hotel and looking for a late-night dessert and drink. I found exactly what I was hoping for. The vibe was chic, warm, and welcoming--dimly lit with a cool, modern aesthetic and plenty of space to relax at the bar. The service was a standout. I want to give a special shoutout to Hannah, who made me one of the best whiskey sours I've ever had--beautifully balanced and presented. She asked for my whiskey preference, gauged my palate, and made a thoughtful recommendation. I also appreciated that she checked in to see if I'd like an egg white in the drink--traditional in a whiskey sour, but not always within everyone's dietary or drink preferences. That extra layer of attentiveness really stuck with me. Even though I arrived late and the kitchen had closed, I was still able to order a small but tasty flan--the perfect sweet ending to my night. It was also great to see signs of community events around the bar and hear that the restaurant side will be opening soon. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, putting out great energy all around. All in all, five stars. I can't wait to come back and experience it again once everything is fully up and running. It's clear this place is being built with intention, care, and a commitment to great service.

The escape room is Alice In Wonderland themed and includes three drinks as part of the experience. Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start. Didn't seem like anyone else was doing the escape room but it was also the week of their biz anniversary so maybe they were just super busy. Phoenix led our escape room and was such a delight. Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

As a regular of lounge-style bars, this place has good lighting if you like taking pictures of your drinks, a good surprise!

This place has so much going on. It makes it ideal for so many different things. Hot day? Want to bring your doggie?? They have an airy patio and a bunch of cute tables out front. The patio is covered so when it rains, it's also ideal. Feeling bougie? Order some oysters and a glass of one of their fancy cocktails. Handicapp or have kiddos? They got you covered. Need a cool place for a dinner date? There's tables inside. Have a group? Also not a problem. Feeling peckish and just need to get out of the house? Go sit at the bar, order a beer, and watch the game. Make sure to order the thrasher fries with malt vinegar salt and pepper and Dijon and black pepper aïoli. It is truly as delectable as it sounds, and by far my favorite thing there! That being said, I am a french fry aficionado. We also tried the coconut chicken sandwich which I found to be a bit different than a lot of standard fried chicken sandwiches. I did ask for the chili sauce on the side because I don't like it to be too sweet. Boyfriend loved it with the chili sauce. I liked it without. I did order a side of aïoli. Another thing I found really nice was that they use the chicken thigh rather than the breast. Most of the fried chicken sandwiches I've had use the breast and this was a very nice change. The chicken was juicy and the sandwich was super tasty. They offer all sorts of tasty delights, like fish tacos, mochicko chicken bites, mac & cheese with or without bacon and crab! Yum. If I was to make one recommendation, it would be to add another salad to the menu. Your menu offers a wonderful variety of delicious treats that are on the richer and heavier side so having another option for something on the lighter side would be fantastic. The service here was outstanding. We came early on a Tuesday, and the bartender was great. She was very helpful and excellent at her craft. The other staff members were equally friendly and so welcoming. We don't get out as much as we'd like to anymore because we have a little one so it was awesome to go out and be treated with such kindness and great hospitality.

Service was just alright. The servers spoke super fast when explaining the dishes, almost like they were reciting the same script over and over. It felt a little robotic and lacked enthusiasm.
