Fried chicken plate
Steven G.

This is an excellent bar that also serves the full menu of foreign cinema restaurant next door! Come for a drink, and stay for dinner :) there's an extensive cocktail and wine menu.

Kalpita P.

Great service, fun ambiance with old movies being projected and moody lighting, and solid drinks. Honestly might have one of the best dirty martinis in the city so come check them out.

Lively bar, part of Foreign Cinema and right next door! Was very busy and loud on a Friday night. Very friendly bartenders and the drink I got (a hemp spirit one, non alcoholic) was very good!! It honestly tasted like juice. Drinks are very affordable by SF standards, which was a pleasant surprise. They show movies inside which is very on par with the Foreign Cinema vibe. Lower floor is a DJ, upper floor is more quiet if you want a quieter space for conversation.

Korrin P.

Incredible service, ambiance, price, and quality of cocktails. We don't order food but noted their snacks for next time. Loved Parker and Chris (bartenders) were incredible. Can't wait to see them again!

$2 Oysters ALL night!
Cherylynn N.

$2 Oysters ALL night! I've been there with "Happy Hour" oysters with a not so happy ending. These aren't sus ones that come with a complimentary detox. They come from Foreign Cinema's kitchen (sister resto in same building). Oysters at Foreign Cinema are $4-$4.50 each so this is an awesome deal. I could have sworn I wrote a review for Laszlo over a decade ago but guess not. (+) $2 Oysters ALL night (chef's choice): http://tinyurl.com/4xh4364c They're properly shucked and fresh, served with a shallot mignonette and lemon wedges. (+) Foreign Cinema's full food menu available - ideal if you can't get last minute rezzies. (+) Good selection of spirits - Fortaleza on deck! (+) Gayle, the owner/chef from Foreign Cinema is hospitality and customer service driven. She came outside to make sure we weren't too cold and kindly offered to move us inside. We choose to stay outside but just the offer itself meant a lot. (+) DJ spinning on Thursday-Sunday + movies projected on the wall. (+) Multiple seating area - indoors: bar, booths, and loft area (intimate date night vibes) + outdoor (two tables). (+) Dog-friendly (outdoors). (+) Parking is always an issue but the Mission-Bartlett Garage is right in back (enter on 21st street). (-) Wrong orders and/or missing food orders. For example, I asked for a spirit shaken but received a cocktail with vermouth instead. Also, the times we ordered food, an item is missing. We noticed it happen to others as well. (-) No itemized bill provided. On our most recent visit, the total seemed high. When I asked for an itemized bill, I found we were double charged for a drink. They were apologetic and quickly resolved the issue. Def ask for an itemized bill BEFORE paying! Overall, Laszlo's remain a pretty solid bar to hit up if you're bar hopping in The Mission. Or, if you're looking for solid $2 Oysters ALL night!

cute bar with interesting music and vibes! got the luchini and it was awful i hate it, it makes me so sad. also no beer on tap but still cute id go again and maybe try another drink

Great Bartenders. Got a drink not on the menu (supposedly it's supposed to go on the menu next week) - mezcal + lychee. Perf amount of Smokey and sweet. Also had the oysters which were surprisingly good!

Sally F.

We come here frequently for craft cocktails when we want to be able to talk to our friends (it's not loud) and it's one of our favorite places in the mission. Usually isn't too busy earlier in the night (I.e. between 5-7) and they have a limited menu from foreign cinema so the food is great.

$2 oysters
Sandra A.

A new favorite spot for me! $2 oysters and a fancy cocktail? Perfection. The oysters are tiny but fresh. The slushee is delicious. Some of the cocktails are overly sweet just as an FYI. There is a movie playing on a projector for vibes! And a DJ playing music (at least on weekends). The entire Foreign Cinema menu is accessible from here. If paying those prices I'd rather sit in the main restaurant to be honest. But nice to be able to order the appetizers at least.

Aadya V.

Overall a solid spot by Foreign Cinema, complete with the same vibey interior. I especially love the split floors and the DJ, which put this place a lick above a lot of the other cocktail bars in the area. We got the peaches and gryphon cocktails. They were good, but I've had better -- they were a little off balance. I did appreciate the attention to detail and high quality booze options they had, though. The bartenders were nice, but even though the place was at 40% capacity, it was impossible to get their attention. My friend and I stood at the bar for 15 mins before someone came over and offered to make us drinks. I'd come back, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Down by Law

Oh Laszlo, you're CUTE cute! FINE fine! Ambience like whoooaaa and vibes like fiyaaaah. And, I'm diggin' it. Stopped here with a few friends last year after having brunch at Foreign Cinema next door. The atmosphere is waaay more chill here when compared to Foreign Cinema. No bougie-ness, just a cozy, dimly lit cocktail lounge with a low key vibe. Wouldn't necessarily recommend this spot for large parties since they don't have enough space to accommodate for it, but small to moderate sized groups will do. We had a group of about 8 and were able to squeeze into a few tables that were pushed next to each other. Just remember; this is a San Francisco institution. Which means that them drinks ain't cheap by any means. But actually, the drinks here were pretty creative. Definitely more on the craft cocktail end than anything else. The only thing that I wasn't too fond of when it came to the drinks was that they use too much ice and not enough drink. Nothing really stood about the drinks that we had either, but it's a nice spot to chill and kick it with friends whilst slurping down some pretty lookin' cocktails. They also have a dope little happy hour during the week, and a $2 daily oyster special in the evenings. Talk about deals! I loves me some good deals! I would totally come back here to chill with friends over discounted oysters and happy hour drinks in the future. I enjoyed this place 10 times better than Foreign Cinema for sure.

Tiffany J.

The overall experience was kind of "meh". The bartenders were super nice but one seemed to be distracted. There were also problems with the food that we ordered. First we were given the wrong order, then after waiting more than 30 minutes for our actual order we discovered that our order was never put in. I understand that sometimes people have a bad day/night so I would give them another try if I'm in the area and looking for cocktails. I don't think I'd try the appetizers again as they weren't that appealing. The best part of the evening was the music. I gave my Shazam a workout, lol. *Full disclosure: this is a late review as we went a few months ago. I'm just taking the time now to update my Yelp.

The escape room is Alice In Wonderland themed and includes three drinks as part of the experience. Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start. Didn't seem like anyone else was doing the escape room but it was also the week of their biz anniversary so maybe they were just super busy. Phoenix led our escape room and was such a delight. Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

She was so amazing and had the best service. (: It may be a bar but the food is so good, we got a little of everything to share. As a regular of lounge-style bars, this place has good lighting if you like taking pictures of your drinks, a good surprise!

This place has so much going on. It makes it ideal for so many different things. Hot day? Want to bring your doggie?? They have an airy patio and a bunch of cute tables out front. The patio is covered so when it rains, it's also ideal. Feeling bougie? Order some oysters and a glass of one of their fancy cocktails. Handicapp or have kiddos? They got you covered. Need a cool place for a dinner date? There's tables inside. Have a group? Also not a problem. Feeling peckish and just need to get out of the house? Go sit at the bar, order a beer, and watch the game. Make sure to order the thrasher fries with malt vinegar salt and pepper and Dijon and black pepper aïoli. It is truly as delectable as it sounds, and by far my favorite thing there! That being said, I am a french fry aficionado. We also tried the coconut chicken sandwich which I found to be a bit different than a lot of standard fried chicken sandwiches. I did ask for the chili sauce on the side because I don't like it to be too sweet. Boyfriend loved it with the chili sauce. I liked it without. I did order a side of aïoli. Another thing I found really nice was that they use the chicken thigh rather than the breast. Most of the fried chicken sandwiches I've had use the breast and this was a very nice change. The chicken was juicy and the sandwich was super tasty. They offer all sorts of tasty delights, like fish tacos, mochicko chicken bites, mac & cheese with or without bacon and crab! Yum. If I was to make one recommendation, it would be to add another salad to the menu. Your menu offers a wonderful variety of delicious treats that are on the richer and heavier side so having another option for something on the lighter side would be fantastic. The service here was outstanding. We came early on a Tuesday, and the bartender was great. She was very helpful and excellent at her craft. The other staff members were equally friendly and so welcoming. We don't get out as much as we'd like to anymore because we have a little one so it was awesome to go out and be treated with such kindness and great hospitality. This place has an overall great atmosphere, fun vibe, with a super awesome staff. What's not to love?Thank you!!
