    Penicillin
    Alex C.

    Sunday Scaries? Not if you're drinking this. You know it's a Castro Sunday when brunch is a memory, the drag queens are winding down, and you're debating whether to go home or make one last questionable decision. Enter: Last Call, dimly lit and perfectly cozy, with the kind of bartender who looks like they've seen it all, and still hands you the perfect drink without judgment. I asked for a Penicillin and what I got was Sunday night therapy in a glass. Smoky blended scotch layered gently over lemon, honey, and ginger so smooth, it practically whispered, "You're going to be fine. Just don't open Slack tomorrow before 10." It's medicinal in the best way, like if your grandmother were a speakeasy witch doctor from a Queen in Glasgow. Every sip feels like it's curing whatever twink nonsense the week tried to do to you. Your boss? Irrelevant. Your ex? Foggy. That existential dread creeping in? Drowned in peat and citrus. This isn't a cocktail. It's a reset button with ice. Pro tip: get it before the lights come up and the jukebox cuts off. It's called Last Call for a reason and this Penicillin is the prescription you didn't know you needed.

    I guess it would be more appropriate for me to call this spot the First Last Call Bar since believe it or not, I had never been here before a recent atmospheric river forced me physically to seek shelter. And I do mean 'physically' because I was like Winnie the Pooh on that blustery day looking for my honey pot. It was early on a weekday, like 3:30PM, when I entered the portal. There was just a couple of guys at the far end of the long bar and the friendly bartender keeping himself busy. The TV was playing one of the Star Wars movies from the pre-Luke, Natalie Portman trilogy. I never saw that trio so I couldn't tell you why Natalie was looking like a pissed-off prom queen. I decided to try one of their specials, the $13 Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita (photo: https://bit.ly/3K1bYFE). It provided a nice, unseasonably warm kick. No arms were twisted on my second drink, the $8 Makers Mark & Ginger (photo: https://bit.ly/3KwZrvi). I was ready to face the inclement weather. Liked my experience so much I came back a couple of weeks later. This time, the TV was playing the pre-coital samurai scene from "The Bodyguard". That was more like it. A very chill place at 4PM. COCKTAILS - 5 stars...libations made to order AMBIANCE - 5 stars...heavy mellow during an atmospheric river in a compact atmospheric space SERVICE - 5 stars...nice guys tend the bar here TOTAL - 5 stars...return visits likely, Last Last Call unlikely RELATED - Exploring the Castro?

    Is this place even serious?! RACHEL OMG. Best old fashioned I've ever had, BEST Manhattan I've ever had. This place is an absolute gem. Rachel is the freaking GEM OF THIS CITY. Absolute bliss. Thank you Rachel you literally are the best bartender I've ever met in my life and this is coming from a bourbon loveerrrrrrrrrrrr! Just fantastic. Sweet and took time to craft a damn perfect cocktail (four of them)!

The escape room is Alice In Wonderland themed and includes three drinks as part of the experience. Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start. Didn't seem like anyone else was doing the escape room but it was also the week of their biz anniversary so maybe they were just super busy. Phoenix led our escape room and was such a delight. Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.
