I finally got a cocktail made by Suzu from Drink Masters, and of course it was exquisite! Suzu is awesome, friendly, and very talented. read more

Really tasty cocktails! The ambiance of the place is really nice (smaller bar), but definitely a great spot for a date night. The bartenders were very friendly and made the drinks with passion. The pricing is a little high but as expected. I would come again!! read more

Atmosphere is very chill and classy. I love the dark interior mixed with cool lighting, sleek furniture, and comfortable spaces to recline in. Servers were very attentive and delightful. Just a beautiful place to be in. Love the little water glasses and bottles!! read more

We came to this bar because of Suzu. We saw a Netflix show which had a drink master from SF,. Apparently he used to serve drinks here. Therefore we decided to give it a try, the place is small and cozy, beautifully decorated, great ambiance, drinks are presentable very pretty, great service! My con where the drinks, I did not like any of them! So sorry, I tried but they all tasted very similar like water candy. Maybe my pallet needs adjustment. I tried four different types but unfortunately, not my type of cocktail. I began with the Juniper drink, it tasted like water candy. Then I tried playing it safe with an espresso martini, and I was disappointed since this is a safe choice, how was it not tasty!!! Third I had the mescal drink, it was okay until I began to chock because it was too spicy. Lastly I had a dirty martini. I am sorry, I did not like the drinks but you guys have beautifully looking drinks so kudos to that talent! Pro Great service Beautiful decorations Cozy Great ambiance Presentable and pretty drinks Con Drinks were not good Bathroom door does not lock read more

Wildhawk - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Such a dope little local cocktail bar that's situated in the cuts and crevices of the Mission district! Came here with the ladies to continue our friend's birthday festivities and Wildhawk did not disappoint. It's a cozy lil' spot that's decked out in some really darling decor. Fun fact: this used to be the original location of the Lexington Club which was a popular local gay bar back in the late 90's and early 2000's. There's a commemorative placard honoring the old bar right near the entrance. I was reading some of the prior reviews of this place, and most of them honed in on the bad service that they received from the bartenders. Welp, I'm happy to report that we didn't experience any of that. In fact, service at the bar was delightful! I should have gotten her name, but the bartender that tended to our party was super fun and a little spunky. She gave us some great suggestions of what drinks we should try based on our preferences. Since I'm a fruit cocktail kinda gal, she recommended that I give their "For the Birds" cocktail a try. I kinda sorta have this tropical tiki cocktail obsession, and this cocktail was the perfect fit for what I was looking for. One of my friends followed suit and also ordered this cocktail while my other friends ordered the "No no no" and a Pimm's Cup. Tried the Pimm's Cup and that sucka was STRONG! The drinks were good but I would have preferred a little less ice in them (especially the one that I got). I loved how we could still talk to each other and hear what the other person was saying. It was definitely lively but still intimate enough to enjoy a casual convo. We had space to move around inside too even though it's a smaller bar. The atmosphere was totally relaxed and fun. This is totally a gem of a find in the Mission and I would definitely come back again for a nightcap. read more

I visited Wildhawk in January 2020 and had an amazing experience. Cocktails were topnotch and snacks were great. They also had the best olives I ever had. My party and I must have tried at least 3 cocktails each. Two of the most memorable was Robo geisha (had Japanese whiskey) and martini. Definitely the best martini I had. They really do take go to an extent to have the martini stay chilled. But few downsides: The place got way too packed and became almost impossible to get service consistently throughout the night. Also, multiple big dogs from different owners casually laying on the ground in already packed bar made it even more difficult to get to the bar to order drinks. I think they are understaffed and may need to control how many people are inside the bar. And they shouldn't allow dogs in my opinion. I love dogs but not in a crowded bar. What if the dogs get stepped on and get hurt? Whose fault would that be? read more

Quick service and cute drinks. I would give an all star review but I did not receive my change for the drink I ordered. I was leaving it as a tip for the bartender anyways but would have liked to see my change. There were two bartenders and not that many people so strange that I did not receive my change. I did the like the ambiance of the place, the music, sofa seats available etc. I ordered the clover club drink which was good but not worth the price. I would not return to this place due to not being given my change and drinks were a bit overpriced. read more

What a gem!!! We arrived about 30 min. too early to our Lazy Bear reservation. Thank god, this awesome place up the block was open and ready to "hydrate" us. I love the chill vibe and the extensive drink menu. The seats at the bar were super comfy and the bartender was welcoming. She helped me choose a a drink from the menu that matched my "old fashioned" palette...and it was delicious!!!!! So get there early, grab a drink, sink into one of their couches and enjoy the people-watching. read more

Wildhawk came up on Google when we were. Looking for some drinks after dinner. We got in a little early so we were able to snag some seats and drinks pretty quickly. The ambiance is low lit and a bar/loungy feel. It was a bit cold in their because the door was wide open, but the alcohol helped keep warm. I ordered the "lower Manhattan" which they used yzaguirre vermouth rojo. This vermouth is used heavily in Spain, the vermouth has a touch of cinnamon so it makes the Manhattan have a nice bourbon cinnamon taste, but not overwhelming. They also had a nice variety of music, can't go wrong with throwbacks! read more

Wildhawk - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I dig this spot. Super pretty inside. Delightful decor: cute couches, lovely wallpaper and ornate glassware. Innovative cocktails created and served by friendly bartenders. Nice for a pre-dinner cocktail if you're waiting on a table somewhere in the Mission. Grab a couch, armchair and low table and chill with a couple friends or chat with the bartenders if you're in loner mode. Why not 5 stars, Mike? It gets super loud in here in the late hours and despite its living room appearance, was a little hard to carry a conversation. Regardless, I'll be back! read more

Excellent service, great atmosphere, and such a fun vibe! Absolutely recommend! You truly cannot go wrong with their cocktails! read more

Wildhawk - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

My friends and I happened to stumble upon Wildhawk while roaming the Mission and it was a cute bar that was open late at night! Inside there is so much seating available, great for small group occasions, as well as bar seating. The staff were all really friendly and inviting, and never afraid to crack jokes with us as we entered! I ordered the Crane in the Sky and although it was a good drink, the Haku Vodka had a very strong taste. If you're trying to look for a fruity drink then this would not be a good choice for you. I appreciate how they added a small paper crane to match the theme of the drink's name! It's a cute and quirky spot overall if you're looking for a late night bar in the Mission! read more

Great bar. Loved the ambiance and had a really delicious cocktail (something birdland?) with mezcal, tequila, tomato gin and and some other stuff but it was so smooth. Martini like. They also make great martinis. read more

We came here simply because of Suzu from Drink Masters. The ambiance is great (you can totally tell this is Suzu's bar), it was a little hard to get seating because it was packed the night we came and it's not a very big space to begin with. Some of the drinks were good, a lot of them were spirit forward so be forewarned. read more

Located in Mission District small establishment but nice sectional seating. The bartender made a great old fashion! Did get really packed around 830/9pm. Waiter we had was amazing not sure what his name was was a little too tipsy but the drinks were amazing. Waiter found me and my girlfriend a seat very fast when we got in! read more

I happened to be in town and was excited to try Wildhawk after watching Drink Masters but had such an underwhelming experience... We had to catch a flight that evening and had enough time to try 2 cocktails. I was looking forward to this because Suzu was known for dry / nonsweet cocktails on the show which I happen to prefer. However we ended up waiting a whopping 30mins for our first round and by the time we finished our drinks had to call our Uber to the airport. There was only one bartender on a busy Saturday night so we tried to be patient but it turned out our drinks were given to another customer and they forgot to make ours. We get it that happens but it honestly seemed like the staff DGAF which made the situation even more annoying. Left with a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Would not come back read more

Had been meaning to come here for some time- so why not come during a global pandemic when I'm bored out of my f*cking mind?? Their outdoor space is socially distanced and enforced- which I really appreciate since a lot of the park lets on Valencia are just basically outdoor crowds. The drinks definitely delivered but I'd say the food was a little subpar, especially considering the prices. HOWEVER their drinks, COVID safety, and lure of maybe drinking indoors one day will absolutely bring me back! read more

Had a few drinks here before dinner. The atmosphere is fun and unique and very pretty. The menu is exotic and will take you a moment to get through if you're ordering from it. We went on a Thursday and it got extremely busy and there was only one bartender working. she was hauling to get drinks made and everyone attended to. My reason for my rating is that she completely ignored us for a good 20 minutes (she was busy! I get it!) but I had a question about a drink, she answered it, then walked away without giving me a chance to order. Then, a customer asked if he could sit at a dirty table and she responded that she hadn't had a chance to clean it yet and she started slamming drawers, became extremely upset, and stormed off. Highly unprofessional because he wasn't upset at all. all in all, I'd say the drinks and experience were good not great. read more

Pretty cool interior and we got a variety of their drinks. Wasn't too well balanced, but a fun place for a stop.

Went around 8 with friends for drinks on 7/28. The inside is a very rich and warm cocktail bar vibe, which is exactly what we were looking for after dinner. It was somewhat busy but we found seats at the bar. We ordered mezcal/soda and a dirty gin martini. Both were solid. The two bartenders were clearly working hard. The first one (taller guy) was unfortunately short and pretty rude toward our group. The second one was great, super polite and efficiency. I would return but would hope for more consistency between the bartenders. read more

This is a really nice cocktail lounge. A great place to catch up with old friends or go on a first date and have a conversation. The interiors are gorgeous and once you sit down on the couches you don't want to leave - literally because if you give up your spot you're not getting it back. It's pretty crowded on weekend nights. It's also really hard to grab the bartenders attention from the couch. They occasionally step out from behind the bar and walk around the lounge and you gotta try to get in your order then. Best bet is going up to the bar and getting your drinks first before finding a couch seat. read more

Had fantastic cocktails here early on a Saturday evening. It was not yet busy, and there was plenty of room inside. The cocktails were delicious. read more

Came back and I'm just not a huge fan of their drinks. The menu does seem to change a lot - it was entirely different from the last time I came. But all of the drinks we had were too strong in alcohol flavor. On the other hand, the space is nice and a good option if you're looking for somewhere not divey and not too crowded in the Mission. read more

It took 15 minutes for someone to ask me if I wanted a second drink in a pretty empty bar. We started timing it for fun. The barback with the anklet finally came over and helped me out. Yes, I know this review is petty but it seriously took forever. read more

Wanted a quiet place to relax after touring the town, and I remembered I had saved this place after watching Drink Masters. It's a lovely neighborhood spot. Small crowd, relaxing background music, people laughing, and overall comfortable vibes. I ordered the Vespertine Martini. Perfect. Smooth, with submine hint of yuzu. I have thought of that Martini many times since! read more

I've been wanted to visit Wildhawk for a while now, so I was excited when I made the trip up to SF to try it. Bar was very cool/great vibes/look but I have to say the women bartender earlier today was awful. It was an immediate "I need to see you ID" right when I walked in, no hey hi welcome, mind you I don't look anywhere near 21 and I'm a bartender as well. I had a nice drink that I wish I could enjoy again, but what really got me was when another women came in, and the bartender was rude to her in front of the whole bar. She asks if she has more friends coming, the women says yes we're a party of 6 and the bartender says "oh great thanks for letting me know ahead of time!" as sarcastically as possible. I'm shocked the lady stayed and spent money there, it was incredibly rude and unwelcoming. I want to come back, I really do, but not with that kind of attitude behind the bar. read more

I really enjoyed my time here! I had two cocktails - one gin based with delicious raspberry grated on it, and one with based on rice whisky with some ardbeg - and both were lovely. My wife enjoyed her Malbec as well. The decor was nice (love the hidden birds everywhere) and our bartender was very friendly, providing great recommendations. read more

It has become our go to bar now. We discovered this place while walking around Mission. It's a cute bar. Very friendly staff. Food drinks. We normally go little early (5) to avoid the crowd and yes it gets crowded. read more

This bar is such a sexy atmosphere, there was even a couple grinding all over each other on the bar stools.. The seats are comfortable, and the music isn't too loud for you to lounge with a few friends or a date. Service was a bit confusing, but friendly and we got our drinks in good time. A bartender told us we could stay seated, bringing us menus and water. But you do have to put your order in and pay at the bar. There was a mix-up with my drink, but they didn't charge and made me the one I did order very quickly. The drinks are strong enough that I was feeling extra cheerful after only one and a half. Seriously, let the winter julep melt down and take your time with it. Prices are what you can expect in SF. I have a feeling this is going to be my new first stop when going out in the Mission. read more

Stop number three on an impromptu Mission bar crawl after having brunch in the neighborhood. A girlfriend and I stopped by Wildhawk on Saturday, September 3rd around 5:45pm. Since it was still early, we easily found two seats at the bar. *Gin blossom: plymouth gin, martini bianco vermouth, blume apricot eau de vie, orange bitters ($14) *Corpse reviver no 2: tanqueray 10 gin, lillet, cointreau, lemon, absinthe ($12) *Kind of fancy: hine cognac, wild turkey 101 rye, port, yellow chartreuse, mole bitters ($13) *9 deaths of the ninja: toasted coconut whiskey, white port, pear eau de vie, egg white ($12) I was continuing my day of light drinking, so I got the corpse reviver. Something about the tartness of this made it light and easy to drink. Nice sipping cocktail. Even though I'm not a huge fan of coconut, I got the ninja drink. I loved the cup, but it wasn't really my kind of drink. I seriously only ordered it because of the name. It tasted a little too milky for me. My gf got the other two drinks and loved the gin blossom. We were at Wildhawk for a good three hours, so two of our friends met us up towards the end of our time here. One of them ordered the Deliciously decadent sazerac: martell cordon bleu, 101 wild turkey rye, absinthe, peychaud's ($25). I love me some expensive liquor, but $25 for a cocktail? Too rich for my blood! Even if it does have martell cordon bleu in it. The bartenders were great! Fun and super accommodating. I had a great time even though I thought overall, the cocktails were mostly all right. Averaging my two drinks out to a 3 star review. read more

We came to the outdoor parklet here for some drinks on a Saturday evening, and it was pretty full. In terms of covid precautions, they were very conscientious: - Everyone needs to wear a mask (including when a server is approaching you), which I appreciate because we need to protect servers! - The bathroom is also one in one out (roped off by a chain, managed by the staff) - The parklet was airy (no cover or full walls) - Seats were reasonably spaced out - The menu is by QR code Some food is required to order some food ($5 each): - Pickles: spicy, a good variety with red bell peppers, cornichons, green beans, asparagus - Marcona almonds: a bit salty but good - Olives: good variety - They also have flatbread, a cheese plate, and a charcuterie board as options Drinks: - Ninja princess: good citrus, well balanced - Hotel nacionale: less tiki than expected; again, well balanced and clean - Breakfast Negroni: Cocoa Puffs were subtle, but it was a good spin on the classic Negroni Service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely come back to the parklet for drinks. read more

One could easily hate on Wildhawk. It took over the much beloved lesbian bar: Lexington Club and turned it into a breeding ground for tech hipsters. The décor is a bit tacky with zebra stools. Some of the drinks are pricey and pretentious AF - $25 martini from a $16.99 bottle of Beefeater Gin?! And, what the phuck is velvet falernum? The music is bi-polar and kept changing from great 90s jams (Fugees, Michael Jackson, Tupac) to....honky tonk. Ugh. I like Gavin Newsom's other businesses like Matrix and Forgery because I've always had good experiences with the bartenders and staff. Wildhawk is no different. Our cocktail waitress, Sara was awesome. Super sweet, knowledgeable, and attentive. Right when we sat down, she brought us a pitcher of water and later in the night she brought us some party mix to nosh on. This would be a 5 star review because service was great and the vibe was too (when the 90s jams were on). Tech hipsters were laid back and there were no sloppy drunks. BUT... The cocktails? NO BUENO. For my first drink, I ordered the Pimm's Cup ($11 + $2 Hendrick's upgrade): http://bit.ly/2aFXdYR. It was sweet and very weak. Decided to order a Moscow Mule next ($12 + $2 Grey Goose upgrade): http://bit.ly/2aKuUcY and it was like drinking ice water. My friend ordered the Gin Blossom ($14) which is supposed to taste like apricots and it didn't. She then ordered the Second Chance ($14) and it was terribly bitter. She sent this back and ordered the Gin Blossom again which this time tasted like spiked apricot juice. Very sweet. Like other Yelpers have mentioned, Wildhawk is trying way too hard. If you can't even make a simple Moscow Mule properly, then you really shouldn't be trying to make fancy cocktails and then charge $$$. Four meh cocktails with tax and tip cost us $70. I guess this is to match the $3,500 one-bedrooms apartments down the block. read more

I've been sitting on this review for a while. After coming here multiple times during the pandemic and dealing with an incredibly rude waitress I wasn't sure if I'd ever come back. The waitress was flippant, impatient, and generally had a demeanor that it was an incredible burden to do her basic job. I came here again recently and dealt with a different bartender whom shared a very similar disposition. She was impatient, rude, surly, and generally unpleasant. Asking for basic things like a slice of lemon seemed to be a personal insult. Quickly plopping my card back to me with a 'get out' attitude I felt very unwelcome. My entire group I was with noticed it as well. There's no excuse to have such arrogant and rude service staff. I'm not asking to be waited on hand and foot, simply to be shown the same mutual respect as anybody would expect. Fortunately there were a few staff whom didn't seem to have such disdain for their customers. The bouncer was very affable, and there was another bartender that was pleasant. It's a shame he didn't help instead of the bartender who couldn't be bothered. The drinks are fine but there are plenty of other bars where you're not expected to talk up to staff in their ivory tower. read more

Chill laidback outdoor patio in this covid era. Had the ninja princess cocktail which was nice and refreshing. Ordered a meat board but instead they brought out a flatbread with Parmesan, arugula, and prosciutto which ended up looking pretty good so we kept it. It was delicious. read more

They have great cocktails and their presentations are definitely interesting to say the least! For the drink, "Enter the Ninja", it's served to you in a mug that has ninjas on it, and for the "Breakfast Negroni", it's served in a bowl with cut-outs of hearts and flowers out of orange peels-- so cute! The Breakfast Negroni has this cocoa puff infused gin or something, with some other chocolate flavorings-- if you like negronis, I recommend you trying this. The atmosphere is also really cool too, with lots of comfy sofas. The only downside was that they keep the door open even when it's quite cold outside. I was so cold inside that I had to wear my boyfriend's jacket. Regardless, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more
