    The vibes here are pretty nice and the music is really good! The bartenders and bottle girls are also super nice and sweet! We came here for my friends birthday, but it was a pretty empty night because SF was raining! Definitely want to come back another night to experience it fully.

    This place was pretty damn awesome. Found it on Yelp originally when looking for a spot to go after the growlers show at August Hall with my boo. There's 2 areas. One had dancing music close to new age hip hop (not old school) and the other room had house where we stayed most the time. They have coat check in at the front no charge. For a Saturday night it was not overly packed but that may been on account of the rain. You don't have to get overly dressed, lots of people in comfortable casual clothing and some were over the top extravagant so whatever makes you happy! Drinks are kinda pricey but it is a nice place! I danced the night away! I really enjoyed it!

    After going to Hawthotn 2-3 times recently. I found myself thinking about it randomly some weekends. It feels like a secret cave in an underground speakeasy one would stumple upon. The main host on Friday/Saturday is warm welcoming, and friendly. The lighting is dim, the accents are of vintage times, fine, classy, and sophisticated. The sound system also matches the vintage vibe, along with the staff. I haven't ordered bottle service here, but have had a cider, and beer for $10 each They have a second dance floor DJ in the back with tons of seating. Super comfortable, chill, and diverse demographic. Guest Djs, and main dancefloor is a food size.

    Pretty place. Good dancers. Friendly people from the door to the back where they had a second floor with more of a techno/house dance floor. Aline I love you. Your energy is through the roof. Thanks everyone

    I'm pretty sure me and my people were underdressed but they were cool to us anyway. Had bottle service at a good price, they showed love and everything was smooth. It was a variety of music, mostly hip hop from the 2000's and on but everything being played wasn't necessarily super current. Went on a Friday and it wasn't super packed but this was also the day after thanksgiving so I appreciated the chill vibe. Visually the dancers were doing their thing. 5 stars for the love

    Chadwick was amazing in helping to coordinate the evening, and our lead bottle service host Colleen was the absolute best!!! I used to work at a club in LA, so my expectations can sometimes be a little high, but this staff fully exceeded them. Our tables were always clean, the mixers constantly re-filled, and we never had to ask for anything. True attention to detail!!! The music was on point, the place had solid ambience, and all of my friends kept mentioning what a great find this place was. I definitely plan on coming back again. Kyle DeGennaro

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.

And, most importantly comfy seating AND solid AZN inspired craft cocktails ($18-$19). Cocktails with black sesame, taro, pandan, mapo tofu, tea, and hot pot flavors? YAS!

Stiff yet easy to drink. The manager/bartender, Leo was awesome with great hospitality. Background lounge-y music is not too loud so you can yap and catch-up with friends. Overall, Blind Pig is a great place to unwind after work or start the night off.

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!
