Really unique, immersive speakeasy. Came for a birthday and opted for their escape room, which is…read morealso a really cool feature for a speakeasy bar. The escape room is Alice In Wonderland themed and includes three drinks as part of the experience. Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start. Didn't seem like anyone else was doing the escape room but it was also the week of their biz anniversary so maybe they were just super busy. Phoenix led our escape room and was such a delight. Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

We got the cucumber cocktail and spinach and artichoke dip. Both were really good. The dip was cheesy and tasted fresh with the chips. The drink was good and perfectly strong. Service was also fast and they will bring the food and drinks to you which is nice. Also love that they had veg and gluten free items marked on the menu very helpful.

The atmosphere is so lovely, there's good music that gradually turned into old school hiphop as the night grew longer. The servers were so kind and came by all the time to refill water and make sure everyone was happy. Little shoutout to the server that took care of us all night Kimberly! She was so amazing and had the best service. (: It may be a bar but the food is so good, we got a little of everything to share. As a regular of lounge-style bars, this place has good lighting if you like taking pictures of your drinks, a good surprise! I really appreciate all the staff for being so kind and attentive on a busy Saturday night. We had a party of 12 that took up a little two-couch area with no issues at all! If I can make a recommendation for anyone that reads this, get the Thunderbird!

It was also starting to get extremely warm like no ac was on. Overall a great place to hang out and mingle though!

I ended up eating the shrimp inside the tacos. Other dishes that my friend's got but I don't try were: Tuna Tataki, Shrimp Miso Raddichio Caesar, & Birria Chuck Roast. This place is worth a try.

It was my first time ordering an espresso martini, and to be honest I don't think it's for me. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the steak burrito was. It was rather small, but actually very good. The service was good. They were pretty busy, but still got us everything we needed in a timely manner. I highly recommend this spot. I think it's a nice place to chill at, whether you want to have a laid back night with good views, or start your night here to pregame and go somewhere else. Can't go wrong!

The rooftop bar offers panoramic views of the city skyline, the Bay Bridge, and Oracle Park. Rezzies are highly recommended. Even on a non-event night at Oracle Park and Chase Center, it was poppin'.

I also appreciated that they went light on the vermouth, giving it just a touch of sweetness. * Diega Cucumber Gin Verde, shaken ($15) First time I've seen this on any menu, I think is now my fav gin...fresh and crisp with a natural cucumber flavor. F O O D * Dozen HH Oysters ($36) Fresh, plump, soft, and creamy. Served with a mildly spicy cocktail sauce. S E R V I C E Friendly, prompt, and efficient.

Metered street parking is doable before 5 pm on non-event nights...if you don't mind walking several blocks. Overall, Cavaña is a solid cocktail bar in the city with awesome views.

I have to say my buddies tried the chips and salsa so it came with some guac salsa and a bowl of chips. It was pretty good too. a , but after the game we came back in the place was still a vibe. It was cool and we are went back a few days later for another game with another buddy and sure enough it was cool this time I had a margarita and the expert Cadillac and he floated something like some triple sec in it and when we inquired about the Grand Marnier with him, he got a little attitude although the female bartender said that when she made Cadillac margaritas, she used grandma Marnie, so that was interesting but other than that, I would recommend a spot.
