    Foggy view
    Taylor J.

    Great little nightcap I had at the Cityscape! I love a bar with a view and this one was great! Arrived around 9pm after dinner. This place was a little confusing to find at first, but after some walking around and a series of elevators, I finally made it. The views were lovely and a little foggy this night which I didn't expect. The bartenders were nice and let me move my seat to take in the view. The drinks I had were fruity and delicious! Loved the vibe, scene, and drinks here.

    While staying the night at the Hilton Union Square, we decided to check out the famous sky view bar -CityScape! We took the elevator to the 46th(!) floor and were met with the host who told us to have a seat anywhere we wanted. We were pleased there was no wait time on a Friday at 4pm. We were stunned at the views up there ! The menu was extensive with plenty of choices...... except for us Non -Drinkers. I really wish they had more NA Beer options but still we opted for their 1 NA option- the hoppy water . My husband didn't like it much but I got a very yummy mocktail. I would definitely still come back even with the few NA options simply for the views.

    Came here with my friends before heading over to see a play and the view alone makes this place a must visit. It's inside the Hilton on the 46th floor. We found a spot on the side facing Golden Gate Bridge and right as golden hour hit, the view was gorgeous! The drinks were good but. It amazing. I got the Karl and the description said it had coconut foam on top and when I got my drink there was not a trace of coconut foam. Other than that, service was good and definitely got packed as we were leaving.

    We came to Cityscape after dinner. It was our first time here. The views of San Francisco were amazing. Each of us had a different cocktail. Everyone liked their drink. The server was attentive and helpful regarding drink selections. This bar is inside the Hilton hotel on the 46th floor. The drinks are priced higher than what you'd find at most bars, for 3 drinks it came up to almost $80. I would come here again and recommend this as a good place to go for a drink when you have visitors in town who would like a stunning view of the Cityscape. Cheers!

    One of the tallest bars in the city with spectacular views from the 46th floor of the Hilton hotel downtown. Luckily we came on a clear day so had a clear view of all the holiday lights below. There's tall windows sweeping the whole room, so every spot feels scenic. On a Monday night it wasn't busy at all. We were able to get walk in and get a window-side booth. Service was a little rude, and our waiter seemed impatient with us. But otherwise a good experience. It was a maze trying to find this bar inside the hotel since the entrance is pretty hidden. We went through the parking garage before walking down the lobby and taking two separate sets of elevators. Definitely a journey to get here, but worth it. Their menu has a lot of fun drinks. I got the Karl drink, which turned out to be strong and on the bitter side. The stardust was like a mimosa and even came with glitter. Raspberry moon was also sweet and fruity. Recommend visiting here for the classy vibes and stunning panoramic views!

    A great place for an intimate evening! Came on a Sunday evening, and for a party of 2, the staff said to pick any table. After perusing the menu, my date and I decided on the Stardust and Raspberry Moon. They checked our IDs, and we didn't have to wait long before our drinks were brought over! - Raspberry Moon - cute drink but a bit too sweet for my liking - Stardust - as someone who doesn't like the taste of alcohol, this was quite enjoyable! Very orange-forward drink I ended up getting quite tipsy, but nothing a few glasses of water couldn't fix. Do note that they no longer have phone chargers for patrons to use - apparently they'd lend out charging cables that were never returned. Overall great ambiance and a great place to chat! Bathrooms were also really clean with excellent lighting. I really enjoyed my time here and would not be against coming back (maybe after checking out the other sky bars in the city)!

    This is one of my favorite rooftop bars in the city. The atmosphere and the views alone make it worth coming here, especially at night when you can see the whole skyline. My go-to drink here is the espresso martini and they always make it really well. I usually come here for special occasions or when I'm out with friends. It can get a little expensive if you start ordering multiple rounds of drinks, but honestly the experience, ambiance, and views make it worth it. Overall, this is my favorite spot for a rooftop bar and I always enjoy coming back.

    This bar and the views it offers are absolutely breathtaking! I would recommend going on a night rather than a foggy one, but is worth it. I forgot to take pictures, but we did order a charcuterie tray and some light bites and they were very good. The prices are as expected for these times. We were staying at this hotel and so visited cityscape twice and our service was better on the second night. The first night the service was fine but a little slow and we had to chase the server down when we had a problem with our drink and when we wanted our check. In summary, please give cityscape a try and consider getting at least some of their little appetizers. It is definitely worth it.

    Best view in SF at night time. Service is phenomenal, seating is extremely comfortable. Drinks are priced reasonably for the area, expensive still but nothing unusual. Great for date night

    I had only one drink which was great. I try not to spend more than 30$ on cocktails. The best part of this venue is the 360° degree view of the city. It is worth visiting. You can see the city lights for sure. But if you pay close attention, you can the lights across the waters as well. It was simply magical and a great place to take someone for a romantic date. Food options are limited tho. But the experience makes up for the lack of food selection

    Had one of the best experiences at the place. First, it is located at the top of the Hilton hotel, and parking was relatively easy. You can park anywhere, either in the hotel, street parking, or the parking garage across the street. While we struggled to find the entrances, a hotel employee helped us to the elevator that led us to the cityscape, which was nice. Thank you. After entering, we waited to be seated by the host and got a great view of the city. We ordered a Martini and a Whiskey Sour, along with the cheese board, which was one of the best pairings of food and drink we had. Although the weather was a bit foggy, showing the city view to an out-of-town visitor was still great. I'd highly recommend this place for date night, a night out, or as a gift.

    Beautiful view! We were staying at a different hotel but came for a drink. The bar was out of an ingredient used in the drink I ordered, but they offered to make a tequila lemon drop, delicious.

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. 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.
