    Late night oyster happy hour
    Sydney L.

    Wow, what an excellent, cozy and welcoming bar. The owner is nothing but gracious and you can tell he wants each customer's experience to be perfect. If you are lucky enough to come in as he is working the bar, he may even pour you a welcome sip of champagne Late night happy hour oyster is one of the best deals in the city for a GREAT selection of local oysters. The decor is a loving homage to historic SF north beach and you can tell how much the owner pays attention to the details, with classic movies and music playing throughout the space. They are known for their coffee based drinks, with the coffee old fashioned and espresso martinis executed with perfect ratios and the highest quality coffee. Overall, worth the visit any night of the week.

    French omelette with gruyere
    Yvonne N.

    An evening at Lillie Coit -- bone marrow, a delicate French omelette, tender bavette, and perfectly crisp crinkle fries. Exceptional service, exquisite flavors... a true Parisian escape in the heart of San Francisco. 。Can't wait to be back to try to the omelette with caviar and creme fraiche... the tinned fish and more wine!

    Went here after a friend's birthday dinner for a surprise after-party, and it was such a fun spot. I'd heard good things about their espresso martinis, so of course I had to try one. I got the version with tequila, and yes, it was delicious. Pro tip: skip the location in the Marina and come to this one instead. Atmosphere The space worked out perfectly for our group. There were about 20 of us, and we were able to fit comfortably between the big back booth and a couple of side tables. It has a great energy without feeling too cramped or loud, which made it ideal for celebrating. Experience The drinks were great across the board. The espresso martini lived up to the hype, and the others I tried were solid too. I also noticed they offer small plates, so I'd definitely come back here during a night out when I want both good cocktails and a bite to eat. Final Thoughts Such a good find for group hangouts or post-dinner drinks. Great vibes, great drinks, and enough space for bigger parties. Definitely keeping this one on my list for the next night out in the city.

    Fun ambiance with amazing service. I have been here multiple times before the official opening, and I'm happy to see that Lillie Coit's is getting the love it deserves! I went here on my birthday for late night drinks; Amber, Tiffany, and Demetrius (sorry if I misspelled), made my birthday so special with their hospitality and warmth. There's ample seating downstairs and some seating upstairs. Fun spot for a night out with a big group of friends. I really enjoy that they serve food until 1 AM. If you love oysters, I recommend ordering the Oyster Jubilee: buy 6 get 6 free from 10 PM-1 AM. I also recommend the crinkle cut fries with aioli and the steak frites. They make delicious martinis, too. You'll always have a fun time at Lillie Coit's!

    Stopped by on a Saturday night around 11 pm after seeing a comedy show at Cobb's. Skipped out on dinner so was happy to see a decent sized menu and even buy 6 get 6 free oysters after 10 or so. Oysters in my opinion were the star, both raw and broiled. They served it with a homemade hot sauce that was delicious. Then had French onion soup and finished with steak. Both good, but I've had better elsewhere. The staff were wonderful. I sat at the bar and they were attentive and fun to engage with. It was really cool they gave a complimentary glass of sparking upon sitting down. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of the drinks but everything else was good. Beautiful space as well and great addition to the area.

    We wanted to grab a little drink before bout dinner res so we stopped by Lillie Coit's. The space is decorated well with dark lighting, lots of space. I think this is a fantastic spot to treat yourself to a drink and lots of little apps. It's a little pricey for sure, but I did enjoy the drinks/experience. I think it's worth it for a night out. We got an espresso martini and the blood orange gimlet. Both were light, delicious, easy to drink. We got the fries with aioli which were a great bite. Simple, easy, exactly what I needed with a drink. The service was quick, nice, I had a good time. I would recommend for a drink, and apps for dinner. They have a great menu and I def wanna go back. I will say for 2 drinks, and fries, we walked away paying over $50 so keep that in mind if you're ballin on a budget.

    Came during a week night, easy to get a table for my group. Large bar and helpful bartender. Did not try the food this time, but sounded good. Will try next time!

    THE BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI IN THE CITY!! Loved their drinks and also the bartenders were super attentive and walking around to check on everyone. They have 3 versions of espresso martinis and do all of them so well - came on a friday night with a group of girls while passing by randomly & had such a fun time

    Great espresso martinis! They have a variety of espresso martinis with different alcohol types, which as a tequila lover was nice to not have to ask to substitute in the standard espresso tini. This is a very fun bar and their menu looks great! Their French fries are super crispy, while also still having a decent amount of potato in them. Perfect for a meal or just to stop and grab a drink!

    Tin mackerel - delicious!

    Amazing service and totally crushing the soft opening. Nick is really leading the way to revitalize sf by being open from 4pm to 1am. This is one of my new fav places in sf.

While we were outside, we made friendly conversation with a bartender. I overheard another bartender come out for a cigarette and call him by name, so I jokingly used his name while asking if we could come in. At that point, the bartender became extremely aggressive, got in my face, and said, "Say his name one more f*cking time," repeatedly. I was genuinely confused and asked what she meant. Shortly after, a friend who was already inside came out simply to check on us and see why we were still outside. The bartender then told her to "get the f*ck out of my face" and instructed staff not to let her or us in, even though my friend hadn't done anything wrong. It was so confusing and extremely inappropriate. The behavior was unnecessarily hostile and disrespectful. This bar does not treat its customers with basic courtesy, and that bartender showed zero professionalism or customer service skills.

This place has that perfect North Beach neighborhood bar chill and welcoming vibe, like a classy dive where you can watch the game or just chat for hours.

They've got solid classics too if you're not feeling adventurous. Walls are covered in cool local SF photos and art that make it feel proudly San Franciscan. Only street parking available but there's plenty of bus lines that drop you off in ths neighborhood & there's no food served onsite, but they brought in complimentary Golden Boy pizza for the game watch party which quickly went into my stomach after downing a few cocktails. Staff was friendly and on point, and it's great for locals or anyone wanting elevated drinks without the pretension. Perfect pre-dinner spot in North Beach or for a full night out.

I first walked through its…read moredoors in the late 1990s after moving to San Francisco, but the bar itself dates back to 1933, opening right as Prohibition was ending. It was founded by Anton "Tony" Nikitovich and quickly became a gathering place for the neighborhood's Italian and Croatian communities, where people came to swap stories, argue politics, and enjoy a stiff drink after a long day. And honestly, that tradition carried on well into the years when many of us became regulars. I hadn't been back for a few years until recently, when I decided to stop in again. The bar wasn't overly busy, but a handful of neighborhood folks were sitting at the counter, trading stories over their drinks. It felt instantly familiar. Not much has changed since the early 2000s when I used to come here regularly, and that's exactly what makes Tony Nik's special. Step inside, and it still feels like a mid-century film set: tufted leather seating, a long wooden bar that's seen nearly a century of San Francisco history, and that iconic neon sign glowing outside. While much of the city has reinvented itself again and again, Tony Nik's somehow held onto its soul. It's a grown-up bar without being stuffy, no loud club music, no trendy gimmicks, just well-made cocktails, a classic jukebox, and an atmosphere that feels earned rather than manufactured. The bar stayed in the Nikitovich family for decades, and the current owners were wise enough to preserve both the name and the vintage character Tony originally created. It's one of those rare places that reminds you what North Beach used to be, and, thankfully, still is.
