Hayes Valley, San Francisco ยท bar
A low-lit Hayes Valley bar where the cocktail menu reads like a playlist. Night of the Iguana (mezcal, jasmine pearl, Brucato amaro, dry vermouth), Fist of the White Lotus (white pepper gin, lychee, maraschino, lemon). All $14. The $10 El Camino keeps the room honest: Modelo or a mini High Life, plus a shot of tequila.
Vodka, peach, lime, Capalletti, Peychauds, the crowd starter
Mezcal, jasmine pearl, Brucato amaro, dry vermouth, orange bitter
White pepper gin, lychee, maraschino, lemon. Subtle and sharp
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
