We stopped by for drinks and really enjoyed the fun tiki bar vibes here! I tried the Permanent Midnight, a rum-based coffee cocktail with coconut, pandan and banana which turned out to be too sweet for me. It reminded me of an espresso martini and unfortunately was a bit one note as I didn't get any pandan or banana. I also got the Zombie Killer, another rum-based drink with coconut, pineapple and cinnamon which I enjoyed more. This one was more creamy and better balanced. Overall the drinks are pretty straightforward the ambiance is fun. There are a good number of large tables (first-come, first-serve) and the lights which go off every so often was a cool touch!

Very cute bar. I would come back for a date night or to hang with friends. I especially like how there are different partitioned sections to sit in around the place for an intimate environment. The drinks were unique and nice to enjoy after a long week. The bartender also did a great job managing everyone sitting at the bar and throughout the venue.

Last Rites & Zombie Killer

Last Rites was a pretty dang fun time. The ambiance is pretty sweet, love the feeling of being inside a plane. It was also hella cool how the entire place lights up if you order the right drink, really fun. My only small gripe is comparing it to something like Smuggler's Cove, the prices are the same, but the drinks here are very much smaller and less complex. Our waitress, totally great, she was friendly, funny, and super attentive even though it was busy. We ended up smashing through 5 drinks shared between the 2 of us, and they were all very tasty, except the Emerald Eclipse... to be fair to the waitress that suggested it, and Last Rites itself, I DESPISE mezcal, and just didn't realize that's what was in it. We tried to order the Permanent Eclipse but it was not available at the time, so she recommended the Eclipse. Mezcal should be erased from the surface of the earth, and should not be mentioned in any history books. Make it go away. Walked away with some super cool Mai Tai glasses, and we were more than a little tipsy when we started our trek back to BART. I could see myself coming back here with some friends, but hopefully they get some more rum based concoctions on the menu!

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time and had a blast! Very cool ambience with the tiki vibes and giant skull wall haha. Kendl and Stephanie helped us and thats honestly what made our whole experience! They explained certain drinks and gave great recommendations based on our personal preferences for cocktails. We got a couple different drinks and they were all very tasty!! Overall great place, but again...it was all because of Kendl and Stephanie. Thank you both!!

I LOVE Last Rites. This is such a great tiki-bar with over-the-top decorations , special effects, and strong cocktails. For the cocktails: If you're looking for a no-ABV mocktail, I would highly recommend the Golden Idol [5/5]. This is so good that every time I come, I order it! We also tried the No Doctor on Board [4/5] meant for two. It has a very strong alcoholic taste. My only complaint about Last Rites is that the service is SOOO slow for a bar. Every time I've gone around 10PM, I wait around 20 minutes only to get inside and see there is no seating.

We stopped by for a night cap on a Thursday night, and we were pleasantly surprised by bingo! Last Rites is a solid bar right off of Church and Market. They have lots of space, great seating, and fantastic cocktails. The bathroom was clean, nice. We got menus and bingo cards, ready to play. I got the Long Goodbye: Gin, strawberry, toasted coconut, cream, lemon, spices, seltzer. Absolutely fantastic, no notes. So creamy, easy to drink, had a touch of cardamom? Big fan. I liked how we could yap in our group while playing bingo. There were many rounds. While we didn't win, it was a hoot and a half! I will def be back with friends, I had such a great experience!

The best way I can describe this Tiki bar is that it's like Rainforest Cafe for adults. Dark, fun, and mysterious vibes inside with plenty of nooks for friends or couples to hang out. My partner and I got the Last Rites and Grifter's Game drinks and they were strong, sweet, and beautifully presented. The servers were friendly and I loved poring through the wide selection of drinks on the menu. The only slight con (if you think it is one) was that we sat by the skull and it would randomly spew smoke onto us every now and then lol.

Halloween menu
Jeremy R.

We hit up Last Rites just as they were opening on Halloween and the vibe was festive with scary movies and spidery decor. The setting is crashed airplane and the drinks are Tiki style. Sadly they had a limited menu for Halloween which did not include the drink I had planned on trying. Our waitress neither friendly nor helpful and the drinks were very light. When I questioned whether my drink was supposed to be all ice with a few sips of actual cocktail, I was told that the drinks were carefully measured. Overall, fun decor and vibe but the experience is ruined by the staff and service.

Caldera's Curse Display
Darci R.

Last Rites was our last stop of the night and it was so much fun! We got right in late on a Saturday night. The vibe is super cool--jungle crash site meets tiki bar, with thunderstorm effects that really set the mood. We had an amazing waitress, she was super funny, attentive and she got our drinks to us very quickly, especially for how busy it was with several large parties. As for the drinks: they were beautiful and on-theme, though I felt they lacked some of the complex flavors you'd expect from a great tiki cocktail. I would say my favorite one of the night was the Zombie killer followed by the Kali Maa's Doom. Least favorite was the Emerald Eclipse, it was honestly difficult to finish. We didn't realize that it had Mezcal in it since it was suggested to us to try since they were out of what we wanted, but honestly for me Mezcal has no business in Tiki drinks so we didnt even think to check! One of the coolest parts of the night was the Caldera's Curse. Every time someone ordered it, the entire bar's atmosphere shifted--lights, sound effects, and the drink itself came out with a fiery show. Super fun and theatrical. This was an awesome way to wrap up our night--and we even took home a couple of souvenir Mai Tai glasses! I'd definitely come back, especially with a larger group, and try the Caldera's Curse!

Monkey puzzle // lion's paw // the zombie killer

Immerse yourself in a new environment giving jungle / survivor vibes. The staff were all super outgoing and seemed have fun while working. The bartender offer great recommendations + service was prompt. There are more seats in the back. I liked my Lion Paws drink (vodka, guava lemon, based). My friend's Monkey Puzzle (pisco) was good but slightly subtle and watered down. I'd still drink it though lol. Past on the Zombie Killer, which was too strong for my friend. I tried a sip and it felt like a punch in the face. Overall, I'd come back to try more of their cocktails.

Sorry no food here, eat before. All the drinks we had were great. The bartenders were friendly and knew their stuff. The decor was like a crashed plane and tropical mixture. Great way to reuse/recycle items

What a cool cocktail bar! The occasional lightning flashes and thunder, Christmas bulbs strung through the jungle foliage, and crashed airplane decor created a fun atmosphere. My party of six walked in without a wait at 11:30 pm on a Friday night, and we managed to snag a booth as another group was leaving. Otherwise, there were a couple spaces open for smaller parties and standing room. Table service worked out well since it wasn't too crowded. I like that the online version of the menu had pictures for all the pretty drinks. The drinks took a little while to come out, but mine was memorable and definitely worth the wait. My Violet Vixen was fantastic and tasted more floral from the lavender than fruity from the lychee. As a frozen/ice blended drink, the ice consistency was perfect and not too chunky or icy. The Lion's Paw with honeycomb garnish and Kali Maa's Doom were also tasty although the torched marshmallow and watermelon was an interesting garnish combination for the latter. The Permanent Midnight was too strong for me. Overall, I really enjoyed the drinks and vibes here, and I'd love to come back to try the Caldera's Curse punch bowl and its accompanying fire show and check out their happy hour ($10 cocktails) and bingo nights on Thursday's!

Stopped by the airplane crash themed bar for a quick drink while we were bopping around the neighborhood! I can't remember the name of the drink but it's specifically for 2 ppl to share. While the drink was a little sweet, it is definitely strong! Fun cozy vibes

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.

This place has risen in the ranks of my fave cocktail bars in SF. Recently tried to go to Elements…read moreonly to discover it was closed or at least closed to additional patrons 45 minutes before closing so made our way to a couple other bars instead, including Blind Pig. It takes a lot for me to consider a return visit to a cocktail bar. Most of the time, I just begrudgingly go along with my friends to a mediocre bar, but Blind Pig is a place I would enthusiastically return to again and again. I first got the namesake cocktail: Blind Pig. It was incredibly well-balanced, and the flame presentation upon arrival was an epic mini show. Later during last call, I decided to risk it all and roll the dice to order from the secret menu. I rolled a 5, which got me a wine & Japanese beer concoction with Sichuan peppercorn. Totally feel like this cocktail was made for me, as I rep the 川渝 region. The drink was strong, but that made it all the better. Can't wait to come again and explore more of the menu behind the password-protected iykyk entrance.

Hot Take: Weeknights are better than weekends for going out…read more Chill, less of a crowd, a locals vibe, and to avoid amateur hour. I'm personally over (and too old) dealing with sloppy drunks spilling drinks on you, getting pushed around in a crowd or end up in a middle of a brawl Blind Pig is that perfect spot, well at least on a weeknight: chill, low-key, and moody. 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! D R I N K S * Hot & Sour: Tanqueray Gin w/ Iichiko shochu, aloe, rose, hot pot paste, basil, citrus, peychaud's ($18 x2) The sichuan hot pot inspired cocktail was silky smooth from the milk-washed gin, nicely balanced - sweet (but not too sweet) and sour with a subtle málà numbing spice. 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. If it's too tamed for you, you can always go next door to XEX to make bad decisions - no judgement cuz we've all been there! ;) O T H E R I N F O * Walk-in only.

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!
