    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

I think in many ways, Blind Pig just fell a little flat. I would like to say that the service here was amazing. A bartender who sat with you to talk about the menu, the process, and your experience very passionately and intently.  However, I think that the bar program is a little unrefined. Every drink had 10,000 ingredients, and most of them did not work together. If the drink did work together, you just tasted nothing because everything blended together and you couldn't taste any special or fun ingredients.  Unfortunately, I don't think this spot is worth looking for.

Seeing that it was named one of the top 50 best bars in North American, we had to check it out! We came in a Thursday night in mid-April about 9:45 PM. They have security outside thar checks IDs & also manages the queue in case the bar gets too crowded. We had no issues getting in, but there were zero indoor seats available - both the bar & table seating. Thankfully, they have a really cozy & well-lit patio area. The waitress let us know that even the outdoor patio has table-side service, so we made ourselves comfortable on the outdoor bench & within seconds she had brought us waters & cocktail menus. Weather outside was really nice, so I'm glad we actually sat outside. Each cocktail is $20, which definitely is a little steep, but I think the creativity, quality, & prestige of being named a top 50 bar supports the price. Each part of the menu is organized by liquor ie whiskey, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. We tried 4 drinks total. I only took menu photos of the pages we ordered from but they have a lot more selections. We ordered the Kung Fu Pandan, Silky Street, Rice Rice Baby, & Tropical Gangsta. We had some favorites over others, but all were very well crafted! The drinks came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. The only hiccup was our final drink took quite a while. Turns out the ticket machine malfunctioned & deleted orders put in & caused a back-up. The waitress was so apologetic & ended up comp-ing 2 drinks, which she definitely didn't have to but it speaks volumes to the high standards they hold themselves to & their customer service. Overall, highly highly recommend checking this place out for a fun night out or post-dinner treat! Glad we made the decision to stop in!
