Hayes Valley, San Francisco · bar
Tropical murals line the walls and a heated patio spills onto Hayes Street — two very different rooms depending on which way you lean. The cocktails are aperitivo-forward: the house namesake mixes amaro, Bruto Americano, Cappelletti, and lime, and a back bar stocked with 30-plus amaros plus deep fortified wines keeps every drink grounded in something with actual complexity. Punch bowls scale the patio up for groups, the happy hour list is better than most, and the room runs late on weekends.
