    Pina Vida
    Diana N.

    Five stars!!! First heard of On The Rocks from Nextdoor and when I was looking for a bartender for a birthday party. I reached out and Matt was super responsive with a "can do" attitude with all my requests. I ending up booking one bartender and another person to come along to help as a server (for passed hor d'oerves and a buffet dinner service). Prior to the event, Matt helped provide a shopping list for me (or you can pay them to shop for you). (I ended up buying a lot more wine, liquor, club soda/tonic water/club soda/Pellegrino than was actually used but could have been because of my guests preferences and that it was so hot that everyone was guzzling ice water instead.) Day of, Cher and Brandon arrived on time and professionally dressed. The prepped the "bar", a 6' table, including slicing lemons/limes etc. They brought all of the equipment needed for the bar including ice buckets and set everything up to look really nice. It was unfortunately 100 degrees on the day of the party but Brandon and Cher didn't bat a lash and had great attitudes the whole time. Brandon was the bartender and lets say hanging out near him was a really popular spot. He made the prettiest peach bellinis with a sugar rim (as I requested) but it made it artsy with being just on one side of the cup kinda dripping down. I wish I had a photo. I honestly thought that the "prettiness" of the drinks was something I had compromised by not going with other bartending companies, but On The Rocks made beautiful and delicious drinks. They helped me come up with a signature drink called the Pina Vida, which was also delicious. I had specified we had guests who didn't drink alcohol (and children) but Brandon had it covered with mocktails. I just heard one of the kids was so obsessed with the mocktails that he went home, looked up how to make it and asked his mom to buy the ingredients. Cher as a server was heroic. She watched the crowd and adjusted what she was doing as needed, always being helpful. During dinner, she made sure everyone's water glass was always full and bussed dishes. And then even when all the guests were gone, Brandon and Cher cleaned up everything - linens, glassware, dishes. PHENOMENAL! I would 1000% hire them again! The only "wishlist" I'd have is if they had some custom bars they could bring instead of using a 6' folding table as their standard. (I used one of mine, covered by a tablecloth). Small detail but something I've see with other bartending companies.

    We hired On the Rocks for my wife's birthday party at our home. Matt was very easy to work with and answered every question we had. They provided specialty cocktails that matched our theme. Cher (our bartender) arrived on time with all items needed and was both professional and fun!

    I was SO SO excited to try Kopiku since it's been on my list for so long!! I visited on a Saturday…read moreand luckily the rush came in right behind my friend and I. I'm a lover of pandan and had SO much trouble choosing a drink because of it lol. I ended up ordering the kopi klepon and it was amazing! The drink was super creamy and earthy, and I loved how vibrant the pandan flavor was. Oftentimes when I get pandan drinks the flavor is way too light, but this had the perfect amount. It also had a bit of palm sugar in it, which added just the right level of sweetness. Definitely lived up to the hype!

    Been wanting to come here for the longest time since Indonesian coffee sounded so unique! Luckily…read moreno line on a Saturday morning but people slowly started coming in by 9:30. A couple tables along the side but overall not too big inside. Couldn't decide what to get but I loved that their menu included visuals for the components of each drink. Price is slightly on the higher end but I guess you can't get Indonesian coffee anywhere else in SF. Ended up with a macchiato and cappuccino to try. Staff was friendly and I appreciate that they were informative about the macchiato being different than how Starbucks does it. Our drinks were freshly made and ready in 5 mins. Size of the macchiato was definitely a lot smaller than I realized but the coffee was nice and bold. Both drinks allowed us to appreciate the pure coffee bean taste without being too bitter. Looking forward to coming back and trying the popular kopi pandan!
