    Bourbon old fashion
    Steph C.

    Appreciate the attentive staff, great drinks in a cozy living room setting with dim lighting as speakeasies are. It's Halloween so the decor is cobwebs. Came for an event and we tried the wine, Gin and Tonic, bourbon old fashioned and I asked for a mezcal drink without grapefruit (contained pineapple which was refreshing) and it was balanced well. Drinks served in nice drink appropriate glasses that made it fancy :) Food-wise we enjoyed the tuna tartare, steak sandwich, and their lobster and cheese sandwich/ tomato soup bites.

    Vintage Victorian mixed with luxury decor. Absolute vibe here 5/5! Came here with my friend for cocktail and yapping. My friend was going crazy for their dirty martini. 4/5 The drinks and food were so stunning, however the samplers weren't so great: the chips and nuts tasted stale and the olives taste like a wet dirty mop 1/5. Def recommend the mushroom pates- 5/5 Service was very good. Since it's an intimate setting we felt well taken care of. They have a private,secret room for larger parties that I think be great to bring the gang or colleagues.

    Excellent service!!

    Fun, sexy, and inviting! We got lucky getting in without a reservation even though the place was packed. The vibe is amazing -- beautiful décor. It is "hidden" off of Union street and has a secret feel that makes it even cooler. The service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and the team really knows their cocktails. We tried several drinks, and the espresso martini was a standout -- perfectly made. We splurged on the caviar bump, which was such a fun touch and made the experience feel extra special. recommend! Parking is basically nonexistent, so I'd definitely recommend taking an Uber or Lyft. Totally worth it -- if you're into amazing cocktails, a stylish atmosphere, and a little something unique, Left Door should be at the top of your list. Cant wait to go back!

    The Mez Negroni

    My girls and I came here for the great vibes on a night out. The list of cocktails is limited, and I would definitely recommend making a reservation as we arrived at around 10PM on a Saturday night and it was already packed full. We ordered: + Ride the 45 [6/5] (would really recommend) + Mez Negroni [5/5] For the Ride the 45 [6/5]: You need to try this!!! There are just 3 cocktails in the city that I would go back to order again, and this is one of them. We were all so surprised by the savory mouthfeel of this cocktail. It tastes exactly like Tom Yum, but sweet and cold! For the Mez Negroni [5/5]: Presentation of this cocktail is truly beautiful. The taste of bitter vermouth is strong in this one! Our table space was quite cramped, with three small tables meant for two each being packed with 3-4 people. Service was friendly but they had ran out of the drinks we initially wanted to try! I would only come back on a less busy night.

    I got the milk punch drink, it was pretty good. interior was pretty dark and very chic. Slow service but they were nice still. There was a short wait to go in

    Dirty martini and side car
    Morgan P.

    We went on a Thursday night, was quite busy but we got a spot at the bar. This is our first time going since they changed the menu, we got the dirty martini and the Sidecar. I loved their dirty martini pre menu changed when it had some different flavors. Sidecar was delicious, very fruit forward.

    Such a fun little "hidden" bar in the Marina. May not always be the easiest to get a seat without reservations, but we've walked in and been able to get a spot at the bar / standing spot. Love the drinks here (especially the milk punch). definitely feels more like a bar that belongs in NY vs SF, will def be back!

    Super Swanky hidden Bar on Union. Door is stunning. Lots of funeral places to sit and sip. Loved the atmosphere so much. Ordered a margarita which was so tasty and artfully presented. My sidekick had a bar menu Manhattan which he said was delicious. Enjoyed chatting with the bartender and sharing a drink in this great location! If you want to be transferred into a private hidden place...Left Door is where to go!

    I recommend making a reservation before you go. The bar is on the smaller side and has an intimate vibe that makes it feel like you're in someone's living room. The cocktails I've had here are good but not particularly memorable. The have a food menu which includes includes caviar, sliders, and more, so they have you covered if you're in the mood to eat.

    Upstairs from Bus Stop, Left Door offers a speakeasy experience that evokes an old-world sophistication reminiscent of historic San Francisco, distinctly different from the rowdy atmosphere downstairs. music plays in the background and it's not super loud, which adds to the intimate and relaxed vibe. If you're looking for a classy environment to sip on craft cocktails, this place is for you. Service here stands out. We came with a big group after dinner in the neighborhood, and although we didn't have a reservation, the hostess went above and beyond to find us seating. She called those who had booked to check if anyone would be late and moved chairs and couches around to accommodate us. The bartender, with a bubbly personality, took the time to explain the menu in detail, even sharing how the ice is made, which really exemplified the passion and attention to detail in his craft. I thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails and the ambiance here. Prices are standard for SF, but I think it's worth it. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and despite the "older" look and feel of the decor, the crowd is generally on the younger side, probably due to its Marina location (and being above Bus Stop).

    One thing about me, I absolutely love to dance! The only thing is, the older I get, the less I find…read morespots where I can dance to great oldies, so when I found out about Battle of the decades every Friday at Monroe, I knew I had to try it out! Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe. Cheap drink specials, great music, and I was able to get in bed by 8:30pm. I'll definitely be back again.

    I've been to a LOT of bars, clubs, and entertainment venues in SF, but one that my various friend…read moregroups and I regularly hit up is Monroe. What's not to love. Located on Broadway in North Beach, it's always high energy and popping, but I've never had any issues getting in. Also love that there's no cover charge for women, so I can just enjoy the night with my friends here without having to pay the equivalent price of a drink before I've even stepped inside. Even with the club frequently packed, especially the later in the night you go, I find the facilities pretty clean compared to many other similar lounges. It's also conveniently located near late night pizza and crêpe eateries that are still open after Monroe closes for the win, which makes it an all-around no brainer to choose going here versus other venues.

    I did not want to like this place as much as i did, but it was actually fairly decent!…read more I happened to go on the night of the lunar new year parade - so it was VERY crowded. They were charging $10 cover at the door. Luckily my friend reserved a table for her birthday so we didnt have to pay the cover. The only requirement for the table, was an order of the punch bowl. We ended up ordering several bowls and lots of other specialty drinks. Drinks were standard SF prices but the lines were very long. Overall the vibe was very good, i was a little worried going in to this place that it would feel lowkey stereotypical, but i was pleasantly surprised! I would definitely come back (maybe on a less crowded day).

I used to go clubbing in the late 90s and 2000s. Probably before most of the patrons here were even born. Now that I've gotten that out of the way... I came here for a fundraiser once years ago before the space was finished. It seemed like a cool lounge at the time, so I pictured the same when we decided to come here for an after dinner drink. Definitely not the vibe I was envisioning. Basically a club, but not packed like clubs I'm used to back in the day. They have a main front bar and a a makeshift back bar with limited offerings by the dance floor. We ordered from the main bar. My drink was fine. Light and fruity which was what I was going for. My friend got the mocktail which he said was fine as well. There was really no place to chill, so we actually walked back to were the dance floor was a stayed there to finish our drinks. The floor wasn't really crowded at all. I just downed my cocktail cuz we wanted to get out of here. There was a lot of ice, so not too hard. I believe my friend did not finish his mocktail. i may have enjoyed this spot when I was younger. But as a xennial, def not my vibe. REVIEW #3988
