I really liked this bar! Got lucky and found a parking spot a block away s it was not crowded at all. You walk in and it's just a vibe, dark, seats where cool, the whole set up of bar is very cool. We will be for sure with my girl. Prices are the usual SF bar prices $14-$18 for a drink. read more

Last Rites - Fave forgot the name but it's something with blue lol - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a great bar. I don't think it's destined to be one of "the greats," but it's really high up on my list. It's definitely a personal favorite because uniqueness, sweet cocktails, island vibes, and travel themes are my jam. The drinks are a little too schizophrenic and a couple too many artificial boozes to be world famous, I think - it just doesn't have the OCD quality of a smugglers cove or a bourbon and branch. But I'll happily return here, and you should too. The theming is amazing. That's one of the hits of the bar. It's a plane crash in the South Pacific (I think) and they really owned it. Is that a real plane fuselage? Are those real plane chairs? The world may never know. The drinks are eclectic, inventive, and on the whole pretty sweet. There's probably something for everyone's palette, though. I loved their namesake, the Last Rites. Overproof and on fire = yes. The lover's quarrel and the avian evolution were two favorites also. Oh and their variation of the Mai Tai is good and really interesting and actually different. Will they end up in a book of cocktail greats 20 years from now? Probably not. But super kudos for being unique and innovative. But this is only day 2! Let's see how that menu shapes up. And oh BTW it's ALREADY CRAZY POPULAR. Cause that's how San Francisco rolls. I'm a tiny bit sad I missed FTR on this baby. I was watching it for months and they'd never confirm an opening date. Come here and enjoy! I'd say it's solidly a top 40 bar in SF. read more

What an absolute hidden gem. I never would have expected a place so cool and so full of character to be right across the street from that infamous and rough Safeway on Market. You really feel like you are inside a spooky tiki cave in this place! The drinks did take a little while to arrive but once they did, it was very much worth it! They were strong and so full of vibrant and nuanced flavors! The table next to us even had a punchbowl drink that was on fire! Super cool! Will definitely be coming back with friends soon! read more

My roommate and I were walking home from dinner Friday. We wanted one more drink before calling it quits. Blackbird is a main stay for us but we were looking for something new/different/change of scenery. So we ended up at Churchills since we hadn't been in ages. While a decent bar with happy hour it wasn't quite the vibe we were going for. We finished our drinks and headed home. As we passed the unknown to us new bar, Last Rites, the bouncer Rick (super friendly and convencing) asked if we had any interest in checking out their soft opening. Since this space has been vacant a good year we both were game. The windows are pitch black from the outside so we had no idea what to expect. It literally feels like you've stumbled onto an adult version of the Indian Jones ride at Disneyland. The bar looks like the inside of a plane and the barstools are vintage airplane seats. The atmosphere is dimly light (I kept thinking of Indiana Jones carrying a torch through the jungle), soft music that leaves room for conversation and skulls/vines/greenery everywhere. We loved it! Luckily the drinks were just as appealing. Since it was their soft opening their drink options were limited but they are planning to have a few of their most popular drinks on tap in addition to a few beer offerings. Both my roommate and I ordered the Jock Lindsay which was delicious. Just sweet and smoky enough without being overbearing on either. Overall super excited for this addition to the neighbor. One thing that would make this better would be stainless steel straws instead of paper. I'm all for taking care of the environment but paper straws just don't work well when wet. read more

I've seen this location transition over at least three times over the last decade or so. This latest version of the space is by far the most impressive. I actually didn't even know the location had become a totally different bar so I was amazed to see just how much work had been put into transforming it completely. I truly enjoy venues that can seemingly transport you to another world, which is what Last Rites does with their elaborate jungle theme. There are a fair amount of tables and seating options so even on a busy night you and your friends may be able to snag a table. The only drawback is that the lovely ambiance and delicious cocktails don't come cheap. I usually would drink at least 4 drinks when meeting friends for happy hour. In the Castro, that would cost about $25, here that would cost around $70. So, this place will have to be an occasional fancy treat for myself. Lastly, if you're into bourbon, get the cadmael although you really can't go wrong with any of their drinks. read more

Last Rites - The bar and awesome airplane seats! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Last Rites is one of my very favorite Tiki bars. The decor is very detailed with a dark, noir, "lost in the jungle" theme. The drinks are outstanding. The one thing I would like to see them improve is turning tables/seating. On every occasion, we see patrons overstaying at the seating while drinking water. We arrived at just before midnight recently as a group of 4. Every table/seating/cove was taken and most of them stayed until closing. But almost none of those parties had additional rounds of drinks. They nursed water, and played on their phones. The bar should really move parties like that along after a reasonable period when it is clear they are done and just squatting on seating. read more

Great tiki/plane crashed in the middle of the tropics-themed bar. When I entered, there seemed to be a strong incense smell. I wasn't a fan, but I got used to it after a while. I loved the old-school airplane seats. The decor was amazing. Drinks started at $12. I got the Valley of the Shadow. It was the perfect boozy drink for my palate. I also enjoyed chewing on the mint that came with my drink. I'm not sure if it was only there as a garnish, but chewing the mint in between sips gave my drink a refreshing touch. Also an important highlight - the bartender that helped us was very nice and helpful with our drink selections. This is definitely NOT my last visit to Last Rites! read more

One of the coolest bars around. While it's a little dark inside the decorations are so fun. The drinks are a little pricey, but you're paying for the atmosphere read more

Genuinely really bad service. Since I consider myself a pretty non biased person, I will say that the drinks were fantastic. Really craft and fun tiki. The decor inside was fitting and fun as well. The service was almost comically bad. Upon entering, the host as the door very politely told us to grab a seat anywhere standing or sitting as a server would come to us. Great! My friends and I find a spot to stand and just then a table of 4 leaves letting us know that we can sit there if we'd like. Even better! We sit. 2 minutes later, a very aggravated server literally screamed at us saying "who said you can sit here?" We were like ummm the host at the door plus the people who just left and invited us to take their table? He walks away super aggressively and annoyed. Comes back and kind of rushes our order. For example when I said I wanted the "kali ma cockta--" he cuts me off and say okay you? And points to my friend. Doesn't let us finish our order verbally because he wants to show us that he's annoyed. Like okay... lol. So he comes back later and asks our order again because he forgot. We explained it very nicely again the second time. He comes back later with one drink missing because he forgot. Not the end of the world! Now this seems like it may be an off night, and maybe it was! But we have our drinks and we're sipping and having fun. When we wanted to order a second round... yikes. We politely waited until we saw he was free to flag him down. He just comes over with his eyes basically rolled so far back before we even order. And I said "hey we just would like to order some more drinks if that's cool". He stares at us blankly. Me:.... Him:... Me: okay well I'd like to have the blue yee drink Him:... Me:...? Him:.... My friend: okay can I order the so and so? Him:.... *walks away* So we got our drinks and asked for the check because I'm not a masochist. At least not tonight. Anyway, I gave this place an extra star because the drinks and decor were pretty cool! I know it's not the bar owners fault, but yeah there's my review! Ps: I work as a bartender at a high volume bar so I'm not just some privileged dude complaining about service, but it's genuinely informed! read more

Delicious cocktails a little expensive it you are paying for it location and the decor. They have gone all out with tiki decor, a giant skull rock, forest/outdoor feel, wooden tables and flickering lights. The drinks are strong and taste good. Even their menus are super themed, my only change would be to have the menus be more readable while the themed menu is fun it's hard to read. read more

Eugene is the best!!! We came in for 1 drink and stayed the night! The environment is cool but Eugene made the night!!!!

Dimly lit tiki bar with lots of fun cocktails. Cool WWII Pacific wreckage vibe. Friendly staff. Extensive drink menu. I just wish they had some food options. read more

Super cool bar! Came here on a Saturday night and the place was packed. But there is no cover charge and it is credit card friendly so always a plus. My friend and I arrived around 11:45pm and somehow managed to grab seats at the bar. The bartenders were all super friendly and took our orders immediately. I ordered the lover's quarrel and not only was it the coolest drink visually (there was actual fire), but it was also super good and you could taste all the undertones. It was also really strong. Drinks aren't super pricey and there is a great vibe overall. Crowd dies around 12:45am so you can casually sit and drink. read more

Last Rites - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cool tiki bar with nice ambience. The drinks were great and service was friendly. The airplane sound effects were also pretty cool.

Service and attitude of this place as plummeted to one of the worst places in the city. People are reminded they can inky be here for 90 minutes, and waiter comes and tell you that you have a 30 min warning. The drinks ordered itself came in 30 mins late but that was never factored in, and there is no sign if grace in the way waiters speak to you. They have forgetting that people are still paying here, and the attitude is just get the f out in 90 mins. Customers need to stand up for the fact how they are treated is just equally important as just being, and stop caring so much about just one place around here. There are tons of good bars, fun bars, tikibars, and other places in the city. I recommend taking your friends to places where you are not just another customer, and standing up for the horrible service. Also, if you really want to enjoy a San Francisco vibe, this is definitely not the bar. Just ask those who stayed in the city long and love SF, and you'd know. Drinks are fun, but not necessarily the best. You endnuo paying $30-$40 per person with all costs for this kind of service, I think we can all do better. Overpriced, and can be just popular fab with no real charecters or soul. These are exactly the kind of places that have ruined the culture of Dan Francisco. Random lightning effects are only as fun when porple feel they are treated well. For every time I plan, I will make sure to never go back here. And by more customers taking a stand for what is fair to them, the business would know how to treat the people and train their service. read more

came here with a group of friends. we all ordered drinks individually but the bartender snuck in a group charge sneakily without even telling us. Drinks are pretty meh and over priced.. looks like shady business practices. they also dont have menus. expect you to download the menu on your phone. ridiculous. Watch your bill cause you will pay more than what's on the menu read more

This bar needs some work. It's new, so hopefully they'll up their game. Nice environment though. I like the jungle theme.

Great decor, great drinks but get ready to fight your way through the crowd. Hard to imagine how they were able to fit all the great decor into this tiny place, but it looks incredible. You will never guess what's inside from the street. The drinks are delicious and too easy to get one too many. But that's the whole idea :) Really cute place and real hidden gem. The only issue it how crammed it is - Maybe it's the hype of a new place, but it was difficult to almost impossible to find a room to have a conversation and were a group of four. I'm sure that with time, once the novelty will wear off, this place will become even better. Kudos to the staff working through this crowd. read more

Cool tiki bar with good drinks! I love the interior design! Drinks are also very creative and tastes great. One caveat is that it does get really packed and your drinks will take a while to come out, but other than that, highly recommend! read more

We went to last rites on a Friday or Saturday, so be prepared to wait in line for a bit! But once inside the bar, it's an immersive experience--sorta like a rainforest cafe. The drinks were all so good! I got one that's orange/jasmine-y and I forgot the name but it was sweet and fruity :) I would definitely go again (occasionally) just because it can be a little pricey read more

I love the vibes here! It's darker than most tiki bars (both lighting and ambiance) but I think they make it work really well. They have fun drinks like the lover's quarrel which comes with a flame and served in a coconut. All the cocktails are around $13-15 which is typical for SF. It wasn't too crowded when I came but it was also a Wednesday evening, so it might be a lot more crowded on weekends. I really appreciated the thoughtful service - there were always servers walking around taking drink orders and clearing empty glasses. I never felt like our party had trouble ordering drinks. We were sitting in the back near one of the two large skulls and the servers would drop by every 20 minutes or so. read more

Always a fan of a good cocktail lounge that doesn't get too crowded/loud. While the drink menu is always solid, the bartenders here are super experienced and can craft you a great custom cocktail if you ask nicely. Still need to check our their happy hour! read more

Amazing tiki bar, dare I say this is my new favorite? Everything about this place is fantastic, a lot of thought went into every last detail. First off, getting in took a little while. There wasn't a huge line, but we were left waiting a while for other customers to leave. Was the wait worth the experience though? Very much so. If you're worried about it, maybe get a drink first before coming here. Once you're inside, the place is very spacious, you don't feel like you're standing shoulder to shoulder with random strangers. Table space is limited but wasn't impossible to find. There were also standing tables to set your drinks down on as well which would've been enough for me. The inside is actually fairly bright compared to other tiki bars which I found to be a good thing. You could actually see the decor and get immersed in what they were aiming for. The service here was top notch too. They actually had waitresses coming around to take orders. You almost never see this in other bars, but it really helped the bartenders focus on making drinks rather than taking orders too. The waitresses were super friendly and super attentive. They immediately noticed when I needed something and were eager to swing by. Now for the important part, the drinks. The drinks here are also fantastic! They're very strong and very well put together. The menu is very detailed and will really guide you to something that will suit your tastes. A lot of drinks also come with some kind of firey flare too, but what's great is it isn't just one drink, there are a bit of options. Pricing of the drinks was also very reasonable considering the strength and quality. My friend and I were definitely feeling it after a couple rounds. Can't recommend this place enough. This bar is easily my new favorite. Step aside Pagan Idol and Smuggler's Cove (honestly I never liked you, but you're popular so hey I gave you a shot) because there's a new cool bar in town that fixes a lot of the gripes I've had with the others. read more

was trying to order a drink and was told to get out because my group wasn't spending enough money and asked for some water first

One of the best tiki bars in the Bay Area! I'll put it right up there with Pagan Idol, Smuggler's Cove, and Forbidden Island. The place is a bit small, but it feels cozy and the decor is awesome. They really committed to the whole "plane crashed on a tropical island" motif... The menu is decent-sized, but not huge. The drinks are well described and they mark what the base spirit(s) is and which are signature cocktails (and which are Limit 2 per person!). The service was great and the staff were nice and fun. The drinks were excellent, super flavorful and well-made, and unique. Definitely try sitting at the bar in the old airplane seats! I'll absolutely be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Decent drinks but even better atmosphere. Service was good but be ready to wait in line or not even get a chance to sit down in a table. It's better if you come with a small group rather than a big group read more

Super good place, a bit smaller than I imagine but nice atmosphere! Drinks are amazing. Perfect for chill night with friends or date night

I am a person who loves coming to tiki bars in every city I travel to. This weekend I decided to do a tiki bar crawl with my boyfriend. We started off at last rites. It was not a good start to our night. I was super excited since I do follow them on Instagram and thought their decor and drinks looked amazing. When you go in you are reminded to keep your mask on till you get a drink which we did. We got water so we took them off but then when we were ordering our drinks he reminded us to keep them on which wasn't the issue. You can't go up to the bar to order your drink so you are told to stand by a post and they will come to serve you. Very weird. So we saw two openings at the bar and decided to sit in the airplane seats they have. But then we were given dirty looks by the servers like we weren't supposed to move in and grab those seats. They reluctantly cleaned off the dirty cups left by the last couple. So we sit there with the vibe already killed and starting off as a horrible night. We are slowly sipping on our drinks which was a mano a Mano- it was good but wasn't the best mezcal drink I've ever had, my boyfriend got the zombie killer which was really good. Sitting in the airplane seats and enjoying our drinks, I decided to go to the bathroom. I come back to my seat being shoved closer to the bar, and the server trying to take my drink like I'm done with it when there was still 1/4 left of it. For a $15 drink you best believe I'm going to finish it all. That was the last straw that made us finally realize we needed to get out of there. We felt like it wasn't a place to relax and have a good drink/time. I understand that this weekend was probably a packed weekend with the holiday coming up but as for someone who worked in the service industry you have to still serve people with kindness and make them feel welcomed. All in all the decor is nice but there is other tiki bars in the city that are better. read more

Last Rites - The bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super cool bar with yummy, aesthetic, and strong tiki drinks over Indiana Jones vibes! I love the skulls around the bar and plane high seats you can sit on by the bar. While there are booths all along the sides for larger groups, I also like that you can put your drinks on the small holders around the arches of the bar to casually stand while you are waiting for a seating area. For most mixed drinks at $12-15, you definitely get a good amount of alcohol and presentation is 5/5. I definitely recommend the Lover's Quarrel if you want something fun. It's sweet and fruity, but also pretty strong. Did I mention there's also fire involved? Definitely coming back! read more

This is a Yelp review coming from a true lord. Double stack, double open b car baby, if you're a wizard you know the drill. This bar fucks. Haven't been fucked in a long, but I remembers what it felt like getting poked in OOP. That's Orleans Parish Prison for all you new jacks. Overwhelmed by how lordy these hunks are. Coming from a high level woop Woop jug this is the highest of compliments. Basically if you need a nice qiute place to have a decent night...gtfo you're not welcome. Don't underestimate the mega punk lord throne that you, if lucky enough have had the opportunity to enter the thonderdome is perfectness. Judging by the average person you won't even make it to the steps. But if you're FTRA or down with Holy Locust you "might" make it to the honey bucket. Lords only this place rips. Yuppies fuck off and die. Side note: I F'd Milverene in the commode -Yes Ma'am read more

Such a fun vibe with unique drinks! It took awhile to get our drinks (~20 min) but they were delicious (and very strong)!

Excellent bar with friendly, efficient bartenders. Eugene's Violet Vixen tastes delicious and looks beautiful. I would have posted a picture, but as soon as it is placed in front of me it disappears. read more

Awesome place with cool drinks. They are so creative! :) The atmosphere was gorgeous due to decor. Ah. You really should visit this place and take a look. :) read more

Usually I love a tiki theme because of kitsch factor, but the atmosphere here is more jungle at night. Besides that, the drinks themselves are just...okay. Both my friend and I were disappointed with our drink choices, he hated his so much he actually dumped it in the bathroom sink. Regardless this place seems to be poppin' as there were no seats available the whole time we were there. Overall it's just an okay place, I didn't find anything special about it, but at least I crossed it off my SF bucket list so I don't waste my time here in the future. read more

Super fun bar with a fun tiki theme. Wherever I go, I always stop by and check at a local tiki bar. I've been to SF a few times and was excited to try out a new place. Unlike other tiki bars with large tropical flowers and shrunken heads, Last Rites has a unique crashed plane in the jungle theme. Loved the bar that was the body of the plane and the fun bar stools. My fiend and I both thoroughly enjoyed our drinks I got the Kali Maa and she got the Rings of Saturn. Both were super delicious! The bartender and waitress were very friendly and helpful with our drink selections. Hope to come back again on my next trip to SF! read more

The night seemed like it was heading in a responsible direction but the punch bowl here (i forget which because of the punch bowl) served as something of a record scratch and the gateway into a very difficult morning. Which I suppose speaks to the quality of the punch! It did not taste as strong as it evidently was. Besides that, the decor is neat. I think all the bar stools are made of old plane parts. read more

The Pre-pandemic Last Rites was one of the best tiki bars in town and the summer of 2021 version is a disaster. The new, simplified menu is a far cry from the creativity of the old one, it takes forever to sit down or get served in between constant discussions of masks, and they turned the lights on/kicked us out immediately after serving us our last round. Just a tragedy. Bring back the old menu and let people drink in peace without constant harassment to mask up in between sips. read more

Went there with a friend on a Thursday night around 8. The place is spacy and well-decorated with a theme. We ordered two drinks but not really liked either of them. Liked the vibe tho. read more
