Logistics & Planning
Parking: No on-site valet; nearby paid garages at 5th & Mission or Moscone Center. Street parking scarce after 6 pm.
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans and nice sneakers acceptable, but many lean business-casual after work.
Noise level: Loud during peak happy hour; conversations possible but raised voices needed in main bar.
Weekend wait: 30–45 min wait for larger groups without reservation; bar seating quicker.
Weekday lunch: Generally no wait; note limited daytime hours so confirm in advance.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – flatbreads, fries, and shareables available.
Vegan options: Limited – 1–2 options like fries and select veggie sides; not a dedicated menu.
Gluten-free options: Minimal – some salads and proteins may be adaptable, but cross-contact likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better suited for casual hangs or lively group outings; the energy is loud and social, which may not allow for deeper one-on-one conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially for small parties, but expect waits at peak hours. Larger groups should reserve the upstairs room in advance.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal – it’s a cocktail-focused lounge with late-night energy. Suitable for adults; no special amenities for children.
Best For
Better for: Group gatherings, themed cocktails, and lively happy hours compared to quieter lounges nearby.
Skip if: You’re seeking fine dining, a quiet date spot, or robust vegan/gluten-free options.
