    On the right: Pink Pussycat, and the middle was the Phoenix.
    Sheridan M.

    Popped in to check out the drink menu. I got the pink pussycat, which was a aperol and tequila based drink. It wasn't too sour or bitter, the right amount of sweet. My friend got the phoenix, and it was strong but smooth. I loved all the artists featured on the wall, it made for fun discussions and nice to look at. Albeit I was a little haunted by a mitosis themed artwork. Our drinks came quickly, we were checked up on, and they were diligent about having water available. Great experience, decent prices ($12-14 a drink) and not too crowded. They do take card as well

    This little gem is a neighborhood must, the interior lead into a narrow aisle, but the seating is comfortable. They have a small room in the back too, so it can definitely house a good size group! Their drinks selections are great and service is excellent leading by their awesome manager Erin! Their rotational art show is a wonderful attraction with curated pieces on display for sale. I can't wait to head back for another visit soon!

    Cute little neighborhood bar with a local crowd. Decent drinks in a cute little space. And they have a sense of humor for sure.

    A nice neighborhood bar with a great choice of cocktails and a chill vibe. They have art on the wall that can be purchased. The staff is very nice and it's easy to get a drink. They also take credit cards.

    Cocktail of the Week - Hanky Panky: buffalo trace, luxardo cherry liqueur, lemon ($9)
    Elena N.

    After dinner, my group of four stopped by Mini Bar. We arrived in Friday, August 10th around 10pm. The bar is fairly small and it was super crowded, so we just stood by the bar. Ended up getting the Cocktail of the Week, which was the Hanky Panky: buffalo trace, luxardo cherry liqueur, lemon ($9) and a few Makers Mark Manhattans: served up garnished with luxardo cherry ($9). Unfortunately, because it was so crowded, we just had the round and left. We wanted something a little more chill and this spot was too loud and boisterous for us. Plus, there was no open seating. True to it's name as it's a mini / small bar. I like more laid back lounges, so this wasn't really my scene. Maybe on a slower night, but on a Friday, it was too crowded for me.

    The stars must have been aligned. Even though the bartender was way too young to know such classic rock, her playlist said the opposite. When she shared with us that this was indeed her personal playlist, we were awed. From the Doors to Joni Mitchell, this mixologist knew her craft as well as her classic rock. Very cool. The martinis were chilled beautifully, shaken and served up with a twist. The vibe is neighborhood- y mellow. The art work on the wall added to the local, SF ambiance. So glad to have found you Mini Bar SF. "You're just what I needed" tonight. (The Cars) Clap! Clap! Clap!

    Cool bar with bites in the Mission District. We got there shortly after it opened at 4pm on Friday…read moreafternoon. I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. 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.

I definitely prefer this version to the more traditional version that just adds water. 4.5/5: Pigs in a Blanket $15. The puff pastry is very buttery, and the sausage is higher-end.

The club was set to close at 2am -- so they start getting everyone together and closing out tabs a 10 minutes or so before it actually closed. I finish my drink and gather my belongings to go to the restroom beforehand. It was occupied at the time ... so I decided not to worry anymore and walk back to my friends. As I'm doing so, I hear the guard rudely speaking to them and telling them to leave. I advised the man that the club was still open at the moment (they had about 5 mins left) and that we actually were heading out then. I also told him that he didn't have to speak to my friends like that - after he had just been joking around with them moments before. Instead of taking accountability, he immediately got an attitude with me and stated that he didn't care about that and it was time to go. Another female guard then popped up randomly and essentially told me to "fix my delivery" and that the man was her brother. To which I replied, that they were both ultimately in the wrong. I understand wanting to leave work but being rude and distasteful towards paying customers isn't the way to do jt. I hope they hire better employees it was a nice place!

There were only two service staff; we could tell they were working hard but they definitely needed more help. We made two trips to the bar and it took about 15-20 minutes to get service. Drinks were decent. A larger group arrived to the left of us, and about 20 minutes after they arrived, the male service worker told us we had to move cause our spot was reserved. Mind you, we'd been there for almost two hours at this point and nobody had mentioned anything about our spot being reserved, and there was no sign holder indicating it either. It was also advertised as a "no cover" event, so curious to know how reservations were even made. He told us we could move over to the wall; which we discovered was right next to the restrooms and the line of users. Not cool. We then noticed that the larger group had spread out and taken our spot; were we supposed to believe these were the supposed "reservation" holders and not just your friends? Overall, just another mediocre bar that caters to the people they know. Not much concern for new customers, so we have no interest in returning or recommending to anyone. Plenty of other bars in the city; better bars that won't make you feel inferior.

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.

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.
