We need more cat/themed places in SF! I planned an all day cat themed outing for a large group and happy this was one of the stops! Good bar food to go with the drinks! Glad to have some things to eat if drinking. You know sometimes you don't expect too much from bar food, but Here there's Better than typical bar type of food. Really enjoyed the fries with 2 sauces (classic, crispy finger food for sharing), chicken skewers, sliders (good appetizer size! a little something more substantial in food), chicken wings (you can choose from a few sauce choices). curry puff (flaky tasty wrapping with curry inside)! "Dumpster Cat" cocktail seems to be the only one that comes in a cat mug. Of course I had to! my mug was a black cat and it had an adorable removable yellow hat. reminds me of halloween. Would be cool to have even more cat mugs for the variety of drinks. Love the cat theme paintings/art on the walls. The large Mona Lisa + cat piece is fantastic. There's one booth in the back that fits 7-8 people. Not crowded early evening on the weekend read more

Great atmosphere, great food and great bartenders. Came across this little hidden gem as a recommendation from our Hotel Maître d'. Came into a great dive looking bar, sat down right away and ordered pulled pork sliders and garlic fries - yum! My boyfriend ordered Wild Turkey 101, the bartender was determined to find it but unfortunately they were not able. They did however recommend a wonderful whiskey that he enjoyed just as much. Thank you Lost Cat for a wonderful experience. read more

I love this place. I originally found the Lost Cat when I went out for my birthday in October and it was so cute. The cat mugs and the amazing cocktails were all I needed. I then went out with a friend this past weekend and we were eating at a restaurant close by that had a wait. So of course I said, let's go get a drink at the lost cat and they dint disappoint. Nathan made our drinks and both were on point. I got one of the holiday specials. Chocolate and coffee something or other. Delish! Nathan was really cool and nice to chat with. Ok. Of course I'd go back, many more times dare I say. read more

Great little spot with unique bites and drinks. Was expecting more cats, but I got there when they just opened so maybe they hadn't quite gotten everything together yet the bartender Nathan was great very knowledgeable. If you just let them know what you'd like to taste was great with suggestions or even making unique drinks for you. read more

Our group of almost 15 people was lucky to find seating in a back area on a busy Friday night. The space itself has many cat decorations, and we walked through the bar and some limited seating to make our way to the back. We ordered a wide variety of drinks, and I tried their Lychee-tini. It was perfectly balanced! Loved the floral and sweet flavor of the drink. The Manila to Tokyo had a great pandan taste, and The Peach & Cherry Blossoms drink had a great blend of floral and lemon-y/yuzu taste. My personal favorite was my friend's Manila to Tokyo. My friends and I alrso tried their garlic fries, which were perfectly crispy. The place had good vibes and good music that night. Prices are reasonable for the drinks, which had a decent portion size and were of great quality. There's a cute cat on display! read more

This was a last minute spot for us to end our night, and it was such a pleasant surprise! I was on the hunt for one last lycheetini to end my night and saw this spot had one and decided to give it a try. It wasn't busy at all, so service was super quick. I got the lycheetini and my boyfriend decided to give the thai tea milk punch a try. The lycheetini was on par with others I've had in the city. Light and refreshing with a nice lychee garnish. The thai tea milk punch was AMAZING!!! I don't do dark liquor at all, so I was hesitant to even try it, but it was SOO good, dare I say better than my lycheetini! It resembled a thai tea almost identically, and you could not taste the liquor at all. There was an option to add thai tea foam that we opted out of, but I wanna go back just to try that! It was pretty slow, so there was a lot of space to sit and enjoy a drink. I loved the halloween decorations they had as well. Great spot for yummy asian inspired cocktails! read more

Cool little bar in San Francisco, sadly the drink I specifically came for based on pictures was no longer available. They serve food here and quite a few people had dogs here and they weren't service animals which kinda seems like a cross contamination for dining guests and drinkers. Luckily I was staying at a hotel close by since parking is nearly impossible by this location read more

Drinks are so great! It was a Lost Dog night, not a Lost Cat night lol (see pictures). The dog was so sweet, and came up to cuddle and check in on every table. Dumpster Cat and the other drinks we tried were tasty, but not too strong. Wasn't a fan of the sticky tables and door handles. But I do love low lighting spots and quiet background music, and this place checked off both those boxes! read more

Bartenders were really friendly and drinks were great. Unfortunately, no cat! Other than that great experience.

I had heard there was a real live cat at this bar, and as a cat lover I knew I had to come check it out. Though the cat didn't make an appearance, my friend and I still had a good experience overall! We arrived around 630pm on a Friday and there were a few parties inside, but it was still empty enough to pick wherever wanted to sit. We each ordered a drink and some food to share. Even though the portions didn't look big when they were brought out, we were surprisingly full by the end. - Lychee-tini: this drink is often too sweet and syrupy for my taste, but it was so good here! It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet but also without too strong of an alcohol flavor. - Event Horizon: I'm a sucker for gin and elderflower drinks so obviously had to get this. It was very good but wish the elderflower flavor was just a tad stronger. - Personal pizza with pepperoni: I never expect much from bar food, but if you like focaccia and pizzas with thick but airy crusts, you'll like this. It was perfectly cheesy and saucy, and I like that the pepperoni was layered in between all the melted cheese. - Oven baked wings with gochujang sauce: the wings were tender and super saucy. Definitely very strong gochujang flavor too. The bar emptied out a bit over dinner time, but more groups started coming in around 8pm (as we were headed out bc we were tired LOL). I can't speak to the vibes later at night, but it was a nice place to catch up with friends or have a casual date - the music was a good volume where you could yap without having to yell or struggle to hear. The cat theme details were very cute too, but I appreciated that it also wasn't overdone and super kitschy. Staff also mostly left us alone (yay) but were attentive when we needed something. Overall, very happy I finally got to stop by and will be back to try some other drinks! read more

Every time I come into this spot, it's always a great experience (although I've never met the cat before, darn it!) The drinks are delicious and all Asian inspired. It's a very Asian theme bar there's anime playing on the TVs, Japanese music, and it was decorated well for Xmas. We tried several drinks, all delicious! The food was good also, we had truffle garlic fries and the chicken skewers- perfect bar snacks read more

Came in late night after a show. Bartenders were quick to provide menus when we walked in. Got our drinks and sat in the lounge chairs away from the bar. It was very cutely decorated, dark, and not too loud with the music playing. Love the music selection here. read more

Cute hidden gem on Post St! Stumbled upon The Lost Cat during the Christmas season, the cozy vibes was matched with festive, charming holiday decor. They had a seasonal drink menu, we tried the Lychee tini & Manila to Tokyo (made with Mugi shochu, pandan, lime, yuzu liqueur, makrut leaves). Both were delicious, but the Manila to Tokyo stole the show, we liked it so much & ordered another round. We also got garlic fries, which were crispy, golden, and loaded with garlic in the best way possible. Service was amazing & the bartender was entertaining. Great spot to hang out with friends & sip on good cocktails. I'd come back to try more of their menu! read more

My friend and I decided to come to San Francisco to visit for the weekend. We found a really cool neighborhood dive bar called the Los Cat Bar & Bites. The drinks were made really well and our bartender was awesome. Very personable and I wish I remembered his name to give him a shout out. We ordered a few items to eat and everything was really good. I would recommend this place for sure if you were looking for a nice bar with good service especially if you were not planning on doing a big night out. I would come back here for sure! read more

Optimal Lost Cat experience: stand at the window and have a bar tender waive at you. You don't have to do that, but it's cooler if you did. Buy them all a shot of Fernet, tell them what you like, then sit back and let them drive. Learn stuff. BOOM. read more

We stopped by this bar for just one drink before our piano concert, and it ended up being such a peaceful little break from the city rush. The atmosphere was calm, and the bartender was incredibly sweet. She really added to the feeling of slowing down and breathing again after a hectic day. I also loved cat-shaped decorations and tiny kitten details around the space. We ordered a glass of Prosecco (pretty standard), but I noticed a lot of people were getting a strawberry drink. If we'd had more time, I definitely would've tried it too: it seemed to be their popular choice. Overall, it's a cozy spot that's worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Came here on a random Tuesday night and had such a great time! The vibes were super cute and cozy. Even though it was packed, everyone still had space to sit or stand and enjoy themselves, which made it feel lively but not overwhelming. They were playing anime (AOT, to be specific) on the TV (which I loved), and the Christmas decorations, mixed with the cat decor, were adorable. The whole place just felt fun and welcoming. The food was amazing -- I had the chicken skewers and the truffle fries, and both were delicious. Drinks were just as good. The Dumpster Cat cocktail was sooo good, definitely a must-try. They also had this incredible Christmas shot (I forgot the name), but I wish they served it as a full cocktail. Mia was my bartender, and she was awesome! Her mom also works there, and they were both so friendly and welcoming. You can really tell they care about the atmosphere and the people who come in. Overall, such a great spot with good food, great drinks, and fun vibes. I'll definitely be back! read more

Super cute and cozy bar, loved the Halloween decor; it was low-key after the show on a Saturday night. Grabbed a few seats at the bar and the bartender was super friendly; the Lycheetini was delicious and spinach dip was perfect to snack on between drinks. It was bumpin later on into the Saturday evening with a random array of audience. Would come back and hang again. read more

We were in SF for a wedding over the weekend, so me and my husband wanted to check out some bars the night before. We stumbled upon Lost Cat Bar & Bites nearby our hotel. We ordered two rounds of drinks because the first ones that we tried were soo delicious that we wanted to try more things on the menu LOL. The first round, we got a Kluay Yai and a Strawberry Bee. My husband loved his drink (Kluay Yai), which was a creamy rum-based drink with banana liqueur and pandan. It reminds me of a Vietnamese desert with the refreshing pandan flavor, so yummy. My drink was really good too, very fruity and sweet with the combo of strawberry, honey, and lemon. For our second round, my husband went with the Thai Tea Milk Punch and I tried the Manila to Tokyo. At first, the Thai Tea drink was really strong, as we forgot to mix the bourbon together with the coconut milk + Thai Tea cream top LOL. Once we mixed it, it tasted fine. I really enjoyed my second drink as well, it was on the lighter side since it was with shochu, however the pandan paired together with the yuzu was so fresh and refreshing. Honestly, this bar might have the best pandan-flavored drinks that I've ever had - other places that we've been to, the flavor has either been too light and gets overpowered by other ingredients. Everything that we had here with pandan really highlighted the flavor. Overall, I would definitely come back, as the drinks were fire and the vibes were fun. It's a cat-themed bar, so lots of cat decorations; for Halloween, they also had spooky cat decor and played horror movies in the background. Great vibes! read more

This is a casual little bar with original cocktail mixes and small plates. The drink was so original I can't recall the name of it but it was delicious.

If I'm back in San Francisco I'd go back just to kill some time. read more

Super adorable cat themed bar. Drinks are not too strong but they are presented well and are reasonably priced. + Chicken Wings (4/5) The chicken wings were pretty good for a bar! They were flavorful and had good sauce. They took a while to come out. + Dumpster Cat (4/5) Unfortunately they ran out of the cat cups when I ordered my drink (the snowman was still pretty cute). This drink was good! Not strong. :( read more

LISTEN UP: Dear cool cats and kittens, On a trip to SF recently we needed to kill a little bit of time on a sleepy, rainy Monday and found this bar randomly on the map-- just drawn to the name Lost Cat. We were so happily surprised to love this place and have the best drinks we've ever had, honestly. They make a Thai tea cocktail with scotch and sherry which is unlike anything we've ever tasted. Amazing. Then the bartender, Erric, gave us a sample of Manila to Tokyo. Hands down my favorite drink, ever. We ordered one right away. If I lived here in SF I would be giving these kittens all my money for drinks! What artisans they are. read more

Randomly found this place and it was such a fun surprise! The staff were super nice and accommodating as we asked for one of the drinks in a mocktail version. We used the Blackbird app and scored free chicken skewers and they were delicious. And yes, there's an actual cat in a little enclosure. Such a fun and unique bar, definitely worth checking out! read more

We found this bar on accident while walking out of the parking garage next door. Lost Cat is cozy, intimate and cat themed! We only stayed for one drink due to reservations elsewhere but enjoyed our time here. The bartenders were friendly and the drinks were tasty. Cute concept, they have a cat tree tower but no cats on this day (we looked like 5 times). I am kind of glad there were no cats during our visit or else we would have likely missed our reservation lol I had the Sagittarius drink and it was really tasty and presented beautifully. Overall 10/10. Super cute bar! read more

A very nice casual bar to hangout with friends! I'm a cat person so of course I have to go to a cat theme bar! The decor was really cute with a lot of cat portraits, cat themed drinks, and delicious bar food! Unfortunately, they do not have cats in the bar any more, but I'm not sure if that change. I think it does make sense though. The food portions were also very filling for example, I got three sliders and just buy three sliders I was full. The pork sliders were very juicy had a lot of flavor, but it was also fresh as well to eat. Overall, I thought the food was great. The staff was very friendly and taking our orders and I highly recommend this place! Parking is not great because it is downtown but walkable to muni read more

Strawberry Bee and Cucumber Gimlet are must haves!! The food was also alright. We didn't get to see the cats.

Good vibes regardless and staff were attentive to check in on us. read more

My friends and I were in the area after dinner and decided to drop by Lost Cat for a quick drink. The interior has a bunch of small cat motif decorations and a must visit if you like cats! For drinks, I got the Strawberry Bee, which I really enjoyed. It is perfect if you prefer a sweeter cocktail. One of my friends got the Watermelon Paloma and I don't recall the 3rd drink but they all really enjoyed their drinks as well. I would say this is a pretty solid bar with great vibes and I would highly recommend. The owner is super friendly as well and I would definitely revisit. read more

Lost Cat Bar provides great cocktails and food. I was looking for a bar to kill time at before a show at the nearby SF Masonic Auditorium and stumbled upon this one. I thoroughly enjoyed the Smoke Old Fashioned and some Chicken Skewers. The staff was nice and the dark ambience was fitting for the name. If you're hanging around Union Square, this is a nice spot for anyone's bar hopping list. read more

We came here on Friday December 19th after seeing a show. This was one of few places open after 9pm that also served food, so we gave it a try. It wasn't very busy, but it had a fun yet casual and cozy Christmas vibe. I ordered the personal pizza, and I was actually very impressed by how flavorful it was. My husband also really enjoyed the pulled porksliders. The drinks were also great! I asked the bartender which one he recommended between the Lychee-tini and the Strawberry Bee. He told me to start with the Lychee-tini, and it was delicious! Definitely a different flavor since not many places have lychee cocktails. My husband had the Toby's Nog, and it was really complex in flavor and came in a fun Santa mug! Later, the bartender brought the group next to us a cocktail and they were raving about how good it was. I asked to try one of the same, and it was a Naked and Famous but with tequila instead of mezcal. It was delicious, and it's one of my new favorite cocktails. Definitely a great place for drinks and bites in SF! read more

Drinks were tasty and reasonably priced for the city. I ordered the Espresso Martini. I don't like a sweet drink so I usually ask what is in it since I like it a specific way, not sweet and with real espresso and I always omit the Baileys. It was made with non sweet cold brew and chocolate bitters he assured me it wasn't too sweet so I ordered it as is and enjoyed it. It was my kind of bar. The other surprise was the Yellow Curry Puffs or simosa but with the spring roll sweet sauce, YUM! I thought the food would be more out of the box bar food but I was wrong. They were so tasty and I think new to the menu or at least a new sauce. I'm not always sure about curry but this was a winner. See you again. read more
