    Quesadilla badly stuck to the paper, annoyed me
    Jennifer O.

    The drink menu had tasty and intriguing cocktails; it was hard to choose just one and the Prickly Pear with mezcal won. It was totally unique and had a nice heat. Service was friendly and convivial, we felt welcome and relaxed. But I can't lie, I was disappointed the Wagyu burger, KFC and other tempting menu items weren't available. Instead, they outsource their food to Taco:Primo next door. The quesadilla was okay but parts of it stuck to the paper so I gave up. On the other hand The Incinerator fell in love with his burrito and he actually smiled between bites (he's usually more frenzied when he eats, he's a high calorie consuming swimmer). On the whole, the food was good, I just had to reset my expectations. And, the refried beans were so amazing I ordered another side. I believe they have pork in them and that's why they're carefully marked "not vegan". And they are dangerously delicious. Would we go to The Snug again, sure. The ambiance, the genuine friendliness, unpretentious crowd and unique drinks make The Snug a winner.

    Cool bar with a rustic yet modern vibe and a broad drink menu. Came here for a drink on a Saturday afternoon while exploring the Fillmore. It was a nice day so we started out sitting outside, it quickly got cool and we moved inside and grabbed a seat at the bar. They have a decent amount of outside seating with a handful of two tops and then a parklet, though the parklet wasn't open while we were in. Unfortunately the cool vibe of the inside doesn't translate to the outside tables, but still nice they have the option. Inside seating is plentiful and there were a number of tables for slightly larger parties. The spot is a little more self service with QR code ordering, but still friendly service from all. We ordered The Big G & Caipirinha, drinks were good but felt a little small, and were done in a few sips.

    Another bar I will definitely be returning to. This is a full bar, no snacks just cocktails. Cocktail selections are plentiful and so many unique ones as well! I got the buzz button no.2 which was SO COOL. You chew the flower to numb ur tongue and the flavor of the cocktail alters. I thoroughly enjoyed all their drinks and highly recommend. There's plenty of seating and bartenders were all so friendly! Service was great.

    We came here to grab a drink during the Fillmore Jazz Fest. Surprisingly it wasn't packed so we were able to grab a table inside. They had tables outside, but since the weather was nice they were all taken. We walked in and were greeted right away. The place has a cool vibe and was very inviting. The waiter was very friendly and welcoming as well. We specifically came in to support of one of their bartenders and ordered the fundraiser cocktail. We also ordered the sakura so we could try something different. Both drinks looked and tasted great. We didn't have a chance to try anything else, but it's a spot I would definitely come back to for another cocktail.

    Chips and guacamole

    Very sad that they changed their menu! We came for the chicken sandwich but found out they switched kitchens.. but honestly we were very pleased with the change. Service here is always very accommodating. I rarely make a reservation and never had an issue with a bar or window area. If you prefer an indoor table I'd definitely recommend making a reservation though! Place fills up pretty quickly and all their tables are reserved for reservations. We came on a Wednesday and it was just as busy! Now for their new menu - the tacos were excellent to me. I added the extra toppings and lovedddd it. I ordered one al pastor and one carne asada with the extra hot sauce (habanero I believe) and two was enough. The chips and guacamole were decent nothing to write home about but a good starter. The chicken quesadilla though was underwhelming. It was mostly cheese and not too much going but for the price you can't be mad about it! It felt like a kids meal quesadilla if you know what I mean!

    Such a cute bar! The ambiance and decor is perfect. I love the large open windows. Such a fun place to sit, relax, and have a drink. I would definitely come here again!

    Negroni

    Finally made a point to check this spot out after passing by numerous times and saying, "that place looks cute, we should check it out sometime!" I'm definitely glad we did. The Snug is a great name for this place, because it's such a cozy neighborhood gem that feels like a gorgeous art deco Tahoe cabin. Seating is relatively limited, so you'll definitely want to make a reservation, especially if you want to get food. It took a little time to get served, which wasn't surprising given how crowded it was. However, our server was very pleasant and helpful. For drinks, I ordered a negroni (been on a kick with these lately) and prickly pear, and enjoyed both quite a bit! The prickly pear in particular was excellent - the smokiness of the mezcal was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the prickly pear. I also want to mention the monk on holiday cocktail that my partner enjoyed, which came with a mango sorbet sticking out of it! What's not to like about that? We both had smashburgers, and I had fries while she had the tots (love, by the way, that there are tots on the menu - the most underrated of sides). While the burger was good, it was a little well done and dry for my taste, and didn't quite have the juicy goodness of some of my favorite smashburgers. However, as hungry as I was, I certainly managed to put it down without much complaint. Overall, we had an excellent time at The Snug! The drinks are great, service is good, and it has a very fun, cozy atmosphere. We did find the music to be a bit loud, to the point we had to talk loudly across the table just to hear each other, which didn't quite jive with the cozy vibe of the interior. And while the burgers were a little underwhelming, these are all relatively small complaints. We will definitely be back!

    i absolutely loved this bar. went here last minute on a thursday evening. the vibes, immaculate. ambiance, stupendous. everything from the lighting to the seating to the bar, it's a great place for a polite drink with a friend or two. our bartender/server was great-- shoutout tj. loved that there were so many cocktail options but not a ton of you don't necessarily enjoy mezcal for some reason? the happy hour menu looks great and i love their concept of "nine dollar nightcap" -- the last hour they have drinks for $9. i got the lemon bar drink which was SO GOOD. it is a bit on the heavier side since it is more dessert-y but it tasted so good. i also got the prickly pear which was also good, but again, heavy on the mezcal. highly recommend if you're looking for a homey bar. will definitely have to check out their happy hour!

    tanghulu and the buzz button
    Cara M.

    Such a cute date spot for drinks and bites! Sat inside by the window as we were only in for one drink- definitely encapsulated the 'snug' vibe with the interior decor, all browns/neutral colors inside matched with wooden furniture, surprisingly spacious on the inside. Friendly service was able to sit us when we arrived without a reservation, we were only checking it out for a drink as we had dinner plans elsewhere nearby. Nice extensive menu of cocktails- opted for the tanghulu and the buzz button (i think) very impressed with the cocktails, loved the glasses and the presentation- the tanghulu was great with the candied strawberry on the side of the glass. Tasted and looked great. Definitely will be back.

    We went late on a Saturday night just to grab a drink after dinner. It was busy so the only seats were low stools right by the window. A lot of the drinks sounded interesting - I went with the wild rosé. It was light and refreshing. My friends who don't drink alcohol got mocktails they enjoyed as well.

    The snug was a great place to hang out and catch up with friends! It had a great atmosphere with house plants hanging from the ceiling and a nice looking bar! The drinks were really good too! We had this delicious coffee brown butter drink which was warm coffee and brown butter foam/cream on top! It was sooooo good! The service was also very good, several people came over to ask us how we were doing and take more orders. Also the snug is connected to taco primo which was super nice! We only got a small amount of guac I wish there was more in the order though! The churro fries were a good crunchy texture too!

    Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich with tots
    Amelia D.

    My partner and I came here for lunch and drinks and ate outside. Overall, some good options for mocktails and pricy cocktails ($20+). I got the nitro margarita ($15) which was delicious. We got the chicken sandwich and the double burger respectively - both meals were good and came with a side, but are typical bar fare. We had come here about a year ago on a date and the food menu was pretty much the same. As far as service goes, for outside seating you order by QR code. It says to order water via QR but the only option is to charge you for sparkling. We had to go inside to request tap water. The tipping options still started at 22%; I have no problem with tipping but it would be great to at least provide a service. Overall, would recommend it for a casual dining experience or just drinks.

Every drink had 10,000 ingredients, and most of them did not work together. If the drink did work together, you just tasted nothing because everything blended together and you couldn't taste any special or fun ingredients.  Unfortunately, I don't think this spot is worth looking for.

They do go heavy on the ice with some of the drinks but they all came out in different glasses, different sizes, and different flavors. It was fun tasting them all. My favorite was the watermelon and guava. I would definitely come back for the drinks. I didn't enjoy the food, and here's where it went wrong. We first got our chips and salsa. The chips are seasoned like Doritos so there's a nice flavor but the seasoning is in consistent. Some pieces were SO salty and some had no seasoning. The salsa is pretty rich as well. When our ceviche came, I ate a bite without the seafood and it tasted fishy. When I tried the actual seafood part, I knew it went bad because it had such a strong odor. We had to send it back but saw them serving it to other people. I eat a lot of seafood and I don't mind a slight fishy taste but this was definitely a food poisoning situation. After that it took a very very long time to get our last dish. Unfortunately when it finally came out, it was a disappointment. The octopus texture tasted like it had freezer burn, then was over cooked, sat too long after it was cooked because they had to make the fries. The fries were fresh but the octopus was dry, cold, hard, and chewy. I've had lots of pulpo before and this was a let down. It was a bummer that we didn't get to eat much and decided to walk somewhere else to finish dinner.

    Laureate Bar honestly surprised me! I came here after dinner for a nightcap and I really enjoyed…read moreit. It's lowkey but stylish and the drinks are actually affordable. My martini ($13) was really good, I especially loved the olives they use here. I like the lounge style seating, there were couches, nooks, and chairs arranged in a very comfortable fashion. There were a decent amount of people inside for a Thursday night, mostly small groups of friends or people on dates. It's a really nice atmosphere, very relaxed and inviting to hangout in. Everyone in the bar was weirdly attractive and dressed well for San Francisco and that added to the vibes for sure too lol. Friendly bartender and good cocktail menu, they also have a kitchen for small bites. I am definitely coming back!

    Peacekeeper is one of my favorite bars in the city for the past decade, and when I found out Bar…read moreDarling is part of the same family, I knew I was in the right place. After a park day at the Presidio, we wanted to move the party and we decided on Bar Darling. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was jam packed. Luckily we were able to get some space in the alley way for us to order drinks from our server. We've been on a Friday around 5pm on another day, it wasn't as busy, so definitely a great place to start and maybe end the night. In a time where craft cocktails have gotten really expensive, Bar Darling offers craft cocktails (their signature cocktails) all for $14 each. If you know Peacekeeper, you know there's a lot of thought and imagination that goes into their drinks and it definitely shows here. My favorites were the Mama J (tequila based) and the Jaji (mezcal based). The aesthetic and vibes of this place is 10/10. Definitely great for a group of friends and/or date night!

    Visited on a busy Saturday evening with a group of six colleagues for drinks. The main bar area was…read morecompletely full when we arrived, but the staff helpfully directed us to an additional seating area in back, worth knowing if you're planning to stop by on a weekend. I'll note that the promotional photos online give a somewhat misleading impression of the ambiance. The actual interior is considerably more modest and utilitarian than advertised. We ended up seated outdoors beneath one of those industrial heat lamps, which was blasting uncomfortably hot air until our server kindly switched it off at our request. That said, the service was efficient and attentive. Our drinks arrived promptly despite the crowd, and the staff managed the busy room well. Nothing particularly memorable about the experience, but perfectly adequate for a casual evening out. A solid four out of five stars.
