SoMa, San Francisco · bar
Every drink at this 12-seat hideaway inside Merchant Roots contains at least eight ingredients, the house Fernet-and-Coke riff uses nocino from a staff member's backyard walnut tree, foraged spruce tips, and a spritz of redwood botanicals so you smell the forest first. The Spa Water shows up in a frozen cucumber. One sandwich on the food menu: garlic-butter tri-tip cooked over oak and charcoal.
