Worst bar in the neighborhood. Walked past and upon seeing it being almost completed empty my group of 6 decided to go in and grab a drink. The bartenders were incredibly rude the entire time. They rolled their eyes every chance they got. One person in the group spilled a cup of water and the bartender THREW a soaking wet towel from behind the bar at us and told us do wipe it up. We were then told last call was at 10 pm by the bartenders who then proceeded to continue serving to drinks to other people for another 2 hours. Skip this place and go straight to riptide. read more

A great cozy romantic setting for all. read more

After finishing our 14 miles of urban hiking through the city, my friend and I walked past this place on our way back to her apartment. She casually mentioned she had only been there once but it was great, and we decided we deserved a drink to celebrate our accomplishment and it needed to be here. The vibe was the perfect mix of friendly but cool. They have a few different themes each year, when we went it was skiing and snowboarding themed, and all drinks were named after different slopes. Previously, my friend went when it was tools themed. It was great and our bartender knew exactly when we needed service and also knew when to leave us alone in conversation. read more

Dope location (outer Sunset) Dope decor (teal seats, wood walls, modern fireplace with PEBBLES) Drink Menu Theme (all tools and machinery, thought it was clever) One down side, there was a mezcal cocktail that was BANANAS the first time. 2nd time? Not so much...so there's a consistency/training issue there. Also their bathroom was out of service within their first two weeks of being open, no bueno. That being said though, long story short, I'm def going to stop by this place again. read more

White Cap is a solid bar with good drinks and a great vibe. Can't speak to the night life because we went here during the day for a birthday party. Note: Verizon does not get reception in the back area which is really unfortunate because the jukebox can be accessed via an app. I'd really like to come back here during the later hours of the day to see if I feel the same way. read more

My favourite cocktails are Moma , good presentation and so flora . And surfer on acid is very tasty if you are a fan of coconut and coffee base drinks. Overall very refreshing and very nice place to hang out read more

This is a hidden gem for the sunset. This bar has amazing cocktails, super friendly staff and superb outdoor location. Cocktails are awesome, very unique and extremely creative mixes. You won't be disappointed. Very decent prices as well. They recently opened the indoor but the outdoor is so well setup. You can look at the pics in my review, I love the tiki feel for the outdoor terrasse, the dwarf palm street and the rocks, benches setup. The street is also closed so it creates a very nice feel. This is just across from the great highway, so after a nice walk to look at sunset, this is the place to go. read more

My first visit here months ago was brief, but I was impressed by the sleek and chic ambiance--a welcome surprise in these parts close to the ocean. The cocktails are indeed well thought-out and well crafted. When it came time to pick a venue for drinks with a medium-sized group of friends, this place came to mind. I emailed White Cap to give them a heads up since the space is not super big, and the general manager was very helpful and accommodating. The bar staff that evening were a pleasure, too. Great drinks and great vibes. read more

What a fun little spot. The Sunset is a sleepy area for the most part but the drinks here are worth the trip. Parking is a breeze and there are indoor and outdoor areas (with heaters). It's by far the most upscale of bars in the area, and is within walking distance to the beach. Dogs are welcome inside and out! read more

White Cap - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Went here for a small date with my wife and let me tell you! The cocktails were in amazing, and full of flavor. The aesthetic/ambiance was super cozy, with some nice music in the background. Also, everyone there was super nice, didn't have to fight for the bartenders attention and they really made it feel elevated read more

I live in the neighborhood. I have a rule regarding the local bars: tip well. If I walk in and the bartender knows, makes and pours a strong and generous portion of my drink without asking me what I'm getting, I double the tip. I slam the drink and I leave. I'm not interested in being in a bar for more than five minutes. If those bartenders ever need help, I'm there for them. So, when I entered the White Cap (across the street from the very hospitable Riptide) and it took the bartender literally ten minutes to run out of ways to avoid me and ask what I wanted, and then she poured a half-shot of Tanqueray in a Collins glass and filled it to the brim with tonic water - charging me $14 (double the going rate in the neighborhood) - I figured that she was trying to tell me something. I shrugged it off and went on my way. When I checked back six months later and the same routine started happening again, I didn't waste any time crossing the street to the Riptide. Obviously, the White Cap didn't need my money. Fair enough. Here's the one & only one-star review I've ever given. Cheers! read more

Glad these guys are open and serving their drinks. (1) usually no to little line - can easily order drinks (2) really good selection of drinks. I highly recommend the Sunset Sandia - it's really refreshing. If your more into beer, they have a good selection along with a couple on tap. Yes it's a bit pricey at $13 a cocktail but c'mon treat yo self in COVID times and help a neighborhood bar. It's a bar not a liquor store. You also have to buy chips and guac since it's covid rules that they have to serve food but it's a great snack and compliments the drinks. Glad I don't have to wait 25 min to order from next door at Underdogs read more

White Cap - So cute! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been waiting for the day when a trendy cocktail bar would open in the sunset and the day has come! My friend and I came on a Thursday night and to our surprise the place was actually really busy. We had to wait on the side for a table, but there's a decent amount of space in there. I ordered a Screw Driver & then a beer - both were good but nothing really too special. One cool aspect is the interior of the bar with the fireplace + their menu are all drinks named after tools. One thing I would note is that their straws are paper, which is really inconvenient when you're just trying to sip on a drink and catch up with a friend. The bottom of both our straws kind of dissolved in the water and couldn't drink from anymore... They're cute but not practical. Also, when I asked for the check, they brought me the wrong one, and when I asked them to fix it, they messed up again... so maybe they're still trying to figure out a system? = read more

I am so blessed to have a stylish space filled with friendly folks running it in my hood. My server Acho was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The signature cocktails with hand cut ice were Amazing. The space by the fireplace will have my name on it because it is the best seat in the house. But seriously every seat could be labeled best seat in this wonderful place. Thanks for being the anchor on this Streamline Cafe - Andytown- White Cap block. I somewhat hate posting this review because now everyone will know about this bombastic spot in the outer sunset. read more

New bar in the Sunset! Located a block or two away from the beach, this bar has a very modern and chic interior design with a few tables and seating inside. Parking is kinda hard to find in the area at night, friendly bar tenders, but as for the service, I feel it is slow. Took us about 10-15 minutes to grab 4 drinks. Their menu consists of mixed cocktails named after tools, and all cocktails are $12 each in the menu booklet. I feel like this place is trying to be trendy-hipster. We ordered some mojitos and it came with paper straws. It's cute and everything, but I don't like the soggy taste when it sits for a bit. Drinks seem to be expensive as well. No food served. Friend tried to order 7&7 but they didn't have some alcohol to make it, they asked for a specific tap and they haven't received the shipment of it either. Took 3 tries for them to order something. Stick with the menu! Not sure if I'd come back, rather hit up Rip Tide across the street but the atmosphere between the two bars are opposites in my opinion. read more

I really like the vibe of this bar - it really makes you feel like you just got off the slopes after a long day of shredding the gnar, relaxing by the fireplace with a hot toddy in your hand. White Cap is a quaint cocktail bar on the small strip of shops on outer Taraval just across the street from Riptide and Andytown. I was pleasantly surprised by the menu design - a map of "White Cap Mountain" with all the cocktails listed. I tried the Hot Toddy and the Creme Brulee, both were great. Overall a solid addition to the neighborhood. read more

One of my favorite neighborhood spots! They've been doing their best to make it work; food is always delicious and drinks are great! read more

Excellent neighborhood hangout, reminiscent of a chic industrial seaside cabin. A new take on classic drinks, such as the Hot Gun (mezcal marg) and Screwdriver (Titi's, Sherry, and Orange served long) Really pumped to have the White Cap in the neighborhood! Cheers! (First) read more

Terrible drinks! Avoid the place. Bartender had zero personality and when I said the frozen drink I ordered was not drinkable it was so bad the bartender seemed hurt. He did replace it with a Manhattan . Manhattan was subpar at best. My advice, go to riptide across the street this place is a waste of time. read more

Cool loungy bar in the outer Sunset, one block from the beach. Dark wood with fake fireplace and high top tables in back. No food, no napkins, no waitress, very bare bones. Had the mezcal margarita which was tasty and packed a punch, but at $13.50 ($12 plus tax), only stayed for one. Headed across the street to Riptide for a $5 beer. Can't see White Cap surviving in this neighborhood unless they lower prices. Same owner as the Treasury, but doesn't really translate in outer lands. read more

Wasn't sure of the environment at first, but maybe that is because we aren't used to a cool place like this in the Sunset. I've lived in Sunset my whole life and now that I am older and more sophisticated (HAH!) I definitely can enjoy a place like White Cap in the neighborhood. We came in before heading to dinner on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. I would say this place is on the smaller side. There was the bar area and then a sitting area by the fireplace and then another sitting area with 3 tables off to the side. Glad we were able to snag a table and chill. The drinks were pretty pricey at $13.00, BUT! they were good! It was worth it in my opinion for a crafted cocktail such as the ones they serve. Their menu theme was Dances for the night we were there. Not sure if they rotate, I think they do? I am a Vodka drinker, and there was only one Vodka cocktail on the menu, so the owner ended up mixing something up for me and then another bartender later in the evening whipped something up for me as well. Both were great! I think one had hibiscus and cranberry bitters which I really enjoyed. Definitely a cool spot to chill and have some cocktails. We'd definitely go check it out again. read more

White Cap - Harlem Shake & cha cha $13 x 2 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

The location and bar are really nice. I like the layout and colours. Also the drinks and the descriptions are really good. I love the superstitions theme. I took the 4 leaf clover drinks and it was perfect. If only for looks and drinks this would be a 5 star review. Just the vibe, not much of interaction and talk, that's the setback. I love a warm welcoming bar with nice staff. Here they were more focused on the drinks than on the people. I would definitely recommend the drinks in this bar! read more

I stumbled upon White Cap thanks to my neighborhood dentist and I was very pleasantly surprised. The drink selection here is amazing, chill and fun bartenders, groovy tunes, and an overall chill atmosphere. I definitely have to recommended their martinis and margaritas. read more

Nice cocktail bar. No food and not really a sports bar (although they did put the Warriors game on). Service was good and the crowd was engaging. read more

Dropped in last year and liked it well enough to return. The second you walk in, you forget you're in the outer aves. This place is dark and sleek, very FiDi-esque. You'd feel like you're at a FiDi happy hour, but you're in the avenues. Great cocktails that probably match the price point, but definitely do not match the area. Yea, that Financial District look comes with the Financial District cocktail price tag. If that's not your thing, then don't bother. It's totally not a "let's just grab a quick drink at the usual spot" a couple times a week type of deal for your wallet but also the service is a tad slow. While I didn't do the ordering, my friend did. He felt like he was being ignored by the bartender for forever and a day, but he eventually got our order in. After observing, most of the folks in the joint are locals and the bartenders tend to chat it up (duh). Just be a lil patient. I'd still come back. read more

Drinks are ok but service is super rude :( There are many better places around to get a good drink with nicer service! read more

White Cap - Cha-Cha-Cha and Maple Hammer - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Nice little bar with a few tables in the back and on the sidewalk area out front. Excellent drinks served by a bartender with a lot of class. Came in on a super busy afternoon when he was alone, and because of the wait, he added shot glasses of bourbon -- on the house -- to atone. Very nice touch -- real nice guy. By the time we left, he had been reinforced with a 2nd barkeep, and service was noticeably faster. Would recommend to friends. read more

Cute little cocktail bar at the suddenly and surprisingly hip bottom of Taraval. You'd think it was Noe Valley lately with all the young urban professionals. Bar is stylish, inside and out. Drinks are expensive. Sidewalk tables are popular when the sun is shining. read more

I got kicked out but I was screaming and being annoying. Makes sense. I would kick me out too. 10/10, would come again. read more

The ambiance is modern and romantic, The cocktails are well crafted. If I had to choose a favorite, It would be the "Snow leopard" This cocktail is a unique balance of bold flavors and texture. If I had to choose a second favorite, I'd say "Surfer on Acid" another balance of unconventional flavors. If I had to choose a third.... Just get the Snow Leopard again. Yeah it's that good. read more

This place is Amazing !!!

Terrible service from the bartender here. Left a really bad taste in my mouth - and I'm not just talking about the sub-par cocktail he poured. read more

White Cap has an amazing ambiance. A quaint cocktail bar tucked in the outer sunset across the street from Andytown Coffee on Taraval and a block away from the beach. Super unassuming which makes it even better. The menu is a music festival flier with drinks as their opening acts. The Ice-Teeling cocktail was light and refreshing. A heavy banana purée flavor served up on crushed ice in a Hawaiian mug. Recommend to anyone in San Francisco, especially the west side of the city. I wouldn't trek out of the way to get a drink there but definitely would encourage people that it's a must go to if they're in the area. read more

It is a great bar and all the staff and the owners are super friendly and attentive. Even at the times of covid they had little heating lamps outside and it is a very stylish atmosphere. I come here quite often and have sampled different cocktails and all were very tasty! read more

I was at white cap last night with my friends. I love the ambiance inside and how warm and cozy the whole room is. Unfortunately my $16 dollar (with tip) cocktail was not very pleasing at all. It really tasted like salami which is weird thing to say but it was kind of hard to drink. read more
