    Earl gray cocktail.
    Sheridan M.

    I think that this bar has a pretty cute art deco themed interior. I loved the different drink options as I love gin based cocktails (they have a bunch) and unique flavor combos. Definitely fruity and floral vibes. The bartenders were great with recommendations and drinks were quick. There was also a DJ and while we danced we definitely felt a bit out of place with the music and age group. We did manage to get him to play Sabrina carpenter for a song. But if you are a millennial then it was great.

    Had a great time at DecoDance Bar! We ordered the Buena Vista and the Sunset drinks and both were great. We arrived quite earlyish and we were the only people in the bar for a bit but the service was great! It was fun seeing people trickling in and the place coming to life. The crowd skews a little older and the music was very millennial core dance/techno music. Overall very fun!

    Very fun and lively atmosphere on a Saturday night. Live DJ playing retrowave (love this genre). Scan the QR code for the menu. Pleasantly surprised the cocktail prices are generally $14! My eyes are used to seeing $17. Delicious craft cocktails - tried the gin one with earl grey notes and it came in a super cute tea cup! Love it. Friends also had the passion fruit gin cocktail and mezcal one (sunset something?) I really think you cannot go wrong with any of the cocktails though. Very friendly sweet server and they move FAST even though they are doing craft cocktails. Quite spacious inside with seating areas / booths and a good sized dance floor. Younger crowd on Saturday night.

    I'm a bartender and I like to check out cocktail bars and see what kind of unique craft cocktails are out there. We ordered the Bear Hug and Some Like it Hot. They were both outstanding, really well balanced drinks. The sesame oil on the Some Like it Hot was the perfect touch, whoever thought of that was on point. I like that they incorporate a lot of infusions, it sets their drinks apart from most other bars and shows they put the extra thought and effort into their menu. The interior decor is well thought out and on theme, lighting is cozy, and the space is decently sized. We found a cute little hidden couch in the corner to enjoy our drinks. This place seems Ukranian owned as they mention they donate some proceeds to Ukraine on their website, which is nice. Would love to come back and try some of the other cocktails on the menu.

    I love this new neighborhood bar on Polk! Finally there's something a bit more upscale and a swanky alternative to Harper and Rye and Hilo for those who live in the area. The service is fantastic, from the bar staff and to the bouncers, they are all extremely professional and friendly. The drinks are standard prices and so is bottle service. They do have drink specials on certain nights which is a great bonus for anyone there to pre game. The venue itself is newly renovated and comfortable to reserve for large groups. We reserved the back tables for a birthday party and the staff was extremely professional in blocking the space off, making sure there is enough seating and table space for our guests. While also bringing over the drinks and ensuring there were enough glasses and ice throughout the night. The crowd is prob similar to the rest of the bars on Polk which would be a mishmash of eclectic SF characters. It does get crowded, but that's expected for any popular bar in this area. However, when you do get bottle service, the staff definitely helps to protect your space and, from my experience, other patrons aren't rude enough to encroach on your space. Overall, I really appreciate Decodance bar and think it is a great addition to the neighborhood. I'll certainly be back for random bar nights as well as future bottle service celebrations.

    My friends & I come here Wednesdays to swing dance and groove. We get matching Lychee Martini's (not pictured) unless we see some cool seasonal drinks on the menu (pictured). The effort put into putting the lights up, having a christmas tree, just a cherry on top. We love this little spot hidden away on Polk. And everyone is so incredibly kind and sweet. Nothing like some swing dancing and a cocktail to wind down during the week

    Amazing themed Bar. With a variety of house cocktails that brim with creativity. Evan Smith is responsible for a bunch of house drinks. They are all really good, especially the Some Like it Hot, City Bird, and We got the Beet. Recommended for speciality drinks, or for late night climbers.

    Woodford Reserve Old-Fashioned (Eagle Rare and Bullitt were other options).

    The interior is kinda dark with a speakeasy vibe but this is a new art deco themed lounge. A welcome bar to the City. Good drinks, friendly bartenders, live music on some nights, and most importantly reasonable prices. After the front door is the main bar with stools and high chairs. Further back is what can be described as a wrapped around room, with sofas and lounge chairs and more privacy. Located in the Tenderloin but more towards Polk Gulch. A place to go before an event as they closes at 11pm. Still, adding to the rotation for sure!

    Decodance offers excellent drinks and hosts some of the best Local Djs! I will be back here soon! Didn't even mention the decorations! It's absolutely fantastic!

    I don't have much to say about DecoDance bar except THANK YOU for hosting my good friend's funeral reception. Customer service was appropriate for the occasion. Everything felt immaculate and fancy, like their ATM in the corner. Perhaps it was all their mirrored surfaces and geometric décor. All the cocktails I tried were fantastic. It's a cute place for any special event or just a night on the town. I might come here in the future to enjoy DJ music and upbeat speakeasy vibes.

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. 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!

The oysters, uni amaebi donburi (Sea Urchin & Raw Shrimp Rice Bowl), Tom Kha Ceviche, and the chicken egg salad sandwich. The bites were truly so decadent, balanced, and well-executed. The oysters were fresh, plump, and perfectly topped with sweet and citrusy flavors. The bite of the night was the uni amaebi bowl. They load you up on sea urchin, shrimp, and roe. It is bursting with flavor, and paired with PERFECTLY COOKED RICE.  The drinks were also amazing! I got the matcha cocktail and the espresso martini. I mean... phenomenal. Everyone wants to do a matcha cocktail, but I don't think a single bar program is going to put one out as perfect as Shoji's. It's delicate and earthy, and the perfect drink to pair with their menu.  Dessert was also good! Tea-based affogatos. They're fun. Ugh, I want to live in SF just so I can frequent Shoji. I will be back for dinner and to try their day time cafe. Get a reservation if you can, it is so worth it!
