This place is a vibeeee. Fun and bustling with people, but the space is large enough so there's no wait time. Their martinis are fire; I highly recommend the dirty gin one! Service was friendly and attentive. As a group of 4, we ordered 2 escargots, the tomahawk, duck-fat potatoes side, and broccolini side. Everything was delicious, but the escargot and the tomahawk really stood out. The sauce the escargot comes with is 10/10 wow. Pro tip: ask for more baguette after! Tomahawk was also memorable: perfectly seasoned and so tender but a lot of fat. The table sizes are diverse and can cover a wide range of group sizes. I definitely recommend checking it out either on a date or a group hang! read more

I love the vibe of this place and their olive martini is the best I've found in the city! It's smooth, balanced and absolutely delicious! Service here is attentive and nice! They do a great job shuffling people in and out without feeling rushed. They often have a movie playing on one of the walls which adds a nice touch! This place feels high end for sure! I've mainly been here for drinks but tried their steak and frites last time. It was tasty but wasn't a fan of the cut of steak, it was difficult to cut. But the flavor was amazing and it was cooked perfectly! Would love to come back and try some other dishes! read more

Had the most pleasant experience at Lillie Coit's this past weekend, and I 100% recommend this spot to anyone for dates, girls' nights out, and small group outings! Service was super attentive and friendly, and the space was beautiful. Food and drinks were excellent. recs: steak frites price: ~$40/person The dirty martini was super well-balanced and, while it didn't taste strong, it definitely was strong. :^ ) Get the vodka if you're looking for something a bit lighter, but the gin is the more popular option! We also split the 8 oz steak frites, which blew my mind. We got this topped with half anchovy butter and herb butter, which melted perfectly into the steak. The steak was juicy and tender but was also cooked with a delicious crust. Fries were piping hot and well-seasoned. We also split a duck prosicutto charcuterie board, which came with a generous portion of baguette slices and pickled vegetables that contrasted really well with the umami of the steak. Great meal all around. We'll be back, maybe even for oyster happy hour! read more

So glad I finally stopped in - these folks make a mean martini! We also had fries and oysters (the late night happy hour is incredible!). Service was quick and friendly at the bar, and the overall vibe was fun! Will definitely be back in the future, such a lovely local gem read more

Awesome bar accompanied by a solid food menu, exquisite vibes, and great service. Had an extremely pleasant evening here near the holidays and really enjoyed the christmas decorations. $99 tomahawk "booth steak" was fun to get for the novelty, but it could've had a more even/accurate cook on it. That herb butter though ... drool We were there on a weeknight, so not too busy of an evening but still plenty of people celebrating and just enjoying this French-inspired escape. Bisous ! read more

Wow, what an excellent, cozy and welcoming bar. The owner is nothing but gracious and you can tell he wants each customer's experience to be perfect. If you are lucky enough to come in as he is working the bar, he may even pour you a welcome sip of champagne Late night happy hour oyster is one of the best deals in the city for a GREAT selection of local oysters. The decor is a loving homage to historic SF north beach and you can tell how much the owner pays attention to the details, with classic movies and music playing throughout the space. They are known for their coffee based drinks, with the coffee old fashioned and espresso martinis executed with perfect ratios and the highest quality coffee. Overall, worth the visit any night of the week. read more

Lillie Coit's - Late night oyster happy hour - French Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great venue but on the last visit we had a bad experience. The place was completely understaffed and we had an exceedingly long wait to be served. The service we ultimately received was subpar - I asked for vegetarian recommendations and the waitress strongly recommended items on the menu that were vegetarian. After we ordered them, thankfully i double-checked before the items were made by the kitchen. We also had to ask for drinks a couple of times and the last time she took our drink order she forgot it, and had to come back several minutes later to ask what the order was again. So that visit was probably 2 or 3 stars but usually a 5 star experience at Lillie's. read more

An evening at Lillie Coit -- bone marrow, a delicate French omelette, tender bavette, and perfectly crisp crinkle fries. Exceptional service, exquisite flavors... a true Parisian escape in the heart of San Francisco. 。Can't wait to be back to try to the omelette with caviar and creme fraiche... the tinned fish and more wine! read more

Went here after a friend's birthday dinner for a surprise after-party, and it was such a fun spot. I'd heard good things about their espresso martinis, so of course I had to try one. I got the version with tequila, and yes, it was delicious. Pro tip: skip the location in the Marina and come to this one instead. Atmosphere The space worked out perfectly for our group. There were about 20 of us, and we were able to fit comfortably between the big back booth and a couple of side tables. It has a great energy without feeling too cramped or loud, which made it ideal for celebrating. Experience The drinks were great across the board. The espresso martini lived up to the hype, and the others I tried were solid too. I also noticed they offer small plates, so I'd definitely come back here during a night out when I want both good cocktails and a bite to eat. Final Thoughts Such a good find for group hangouts or post-dinner drinks. Great vibes, great drinks, and enough space for bigger parties. Definitely keeping this one on my list for the next night out in the city. read more

Fun ambiance with amazing service. I have been here multiple times before the official opening, and I'm happy to see that Lillie Coit's is getting the love it deserves! I went here on my birthday for late night drinks; Amber, Tiffany, and Demetrius (sorry if I misspelled), made my birthday so special with their hospitality and warmth. There's ample seating downstairs and some seating upstairs. Fun spot for a night out with a big group of friends. I really enjoy that they serve food until 1 AM. If you love oysters, I recommend ordering the Oyster Jubilee: buy 6 get 6 free from 10 PM-1 AM. I also recommend the crinkle cut fries with aioli and the steak frites. They make delicious martinis, too. You'll always have a fun time at Lillie Coit's! read more

This is the second or third time I've had terrible service due to a bartender having too much fun then a bad attitude after I asked why I wasn't being served. Last time, it got course corrected. I came from the east bay to eat here and was met with nonchalance. I think that's it for me. I hate to write this place off because I like the food and some of the staff but god damn, it's infuriating to come here and get no service each time. I'd have to be a total clown to come again. And I'm not one. Get it together -- I recommend this place to people and it's not what it should be when I show up. Give me something. The basics. read more

Sweet cozy place in the heart of North Beach. Great for private events. Good drinks, great oysters, fun ambience and friendly staff! Looking forward to my next visit soon! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night around 11 pm after seeing a comedy show at Cobb's. Skipped out on dinner so was happy to see a decent sized menu and even buy 6 get 6 free oysters after 10 or so. Oysters in my opinion were the star, both raw and broiled. They served it with a homemade hot sauce that was delicious. Then had French onion soup and finished with steak. Both good, but I've had better elsewhere. The staff were wonderful. I sat at the bar and they were attentive and fun to engage with. It was really cool they gave a complimentary glass of sparking upon sitting down. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of the drinks but everything else was good. Beautiful space as well and great addition to the area. read more

We wanted to grab a little drink before bout dinner res so we stopped by Lillie Coit's. The space is decorated well with dark lighting, lots of space. I think this is a fantastic spot to treat yourself to a drink and lots of little apps. It's a little pricey for sure, but I did enjoy the drinks/experience. I think it's worth it for a night out. We got an espresso martini and the blood orange gimlet. Both were light, delicious, easy to drink. We got the fries with aioli which were a great bite. Simple, easy, exactly what I needed with a drink. The service was quick, nice, I had a good time. I would recommend for a drink, and apps for dinner. They have a great menu and I def wanna go back. I will say for 2 drinks, and fries, we walked away paying over $50 so keep that in mind if you're ballin on a budget. read more

This is my favorite cocktail bar in the city. Fantastic ambience, super friendly staff, and great food/drinks. They have a full menu so you can go for bites, dinner, or just drinks. I have introduced this spot to multiple friends who have quickly made it one of their staples in the city. The owner always takes the time to say hello and make us feel special. The art prints on the walls are so cool, and each comes with an interesting history. Highly recommend to any locals or tourists wanting to experience the magic of this city. read more

Really loved this spot! Came by on weekday evening with a big group of about 15 and enjoyed a few drinks + steak and frites. Super helpful and attentive service at the bar too. There's an oyster board with which blew my mind--how is it possible to eat that many oysters?! My favorite drink was the mint espresso martini! I was surprised with how good it was and they came in similar cups as Moscow mules, but in the shape of a martini glass. Super awesome Stays open late too!! read more

THE BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI IN THE CITY!! Loved their drinks and also the bartenders were super attentive and walking around to check on everyone.

Great espresso martinis! They have a variety of espresso martinis with different alcohol types, which as a tequila lover was nice to not have to ask to substitute in the standard espresso tini. This is a very fun bar and their menu looks great! Their French fries are super crispy, while also still having a decent amount of potato in them. Perfect for a meal or just to stop and grab a drink! read more

for my bipoc women, stay away and keep your peace. it was my second time coming here solely because we wanted oysters, not because the drinks are good mind you. we step inside to a group of maybe six other people waiting by the door to be seated. it's a 15 minute wait, not terrible. two white women move towards the front because there is a space opening as someone got seated. we stand exactly where they were standing. we were also a party of two. the manager comes up to us again and says that "there are guests dining" and we need to wait outside. we were the only non-white people standing there and there was plenty of room by the entrance. putrid and deplorable service. read more

Perfect spot to catch up with friends. Came for a holiday pop up and keep me coming back to see Nick and the crew. They have unique menu items, plenty of tables and open seating, and very personable customer service. Go to Lillie Coit's! read more

My mom & I popped in early last night, meaning to stay for just one drink before heading down the street for dinner. We ended up staying for hours! The staff was fantastic, our drinks were top notch (gin martini for both of us), our dinner (omelette, broccolini and hot coppa/mortadella melt) was delicious and came out really quickly. We sat at the bar all evening (best place to get to know the locals that come in for the early shift!) but the velvet booths looked great too and I deeply appreciated the nice low lighting and candles. Will absolutely return. Thanks, Nick! read more

We went on a Saturday so it was crowded and loud. The service was still lovely and so was the food.

My coworkers and I came for the first time today. We work just around the corner and were looking forward to celebrating here after learning that a newish bar opened up. We used to come to this location for happy hour pre-pandemic (under a different name and management). We were sadly disappointed by the drinks that we all just described as "lemony" and a rude bartender who was racist and unprofessional with one of the members of our party. I'm also confused as to why non-alcoholic drinks cost the same as the alcoholic drinks. Such disappointing service and drinks! We will not be returning. read more

Two constants at Lillie Coit's. The proprietor is always a self important prick and the steak frites and martinis are awesome. They're never as busy as they should be, which is a shame because it a great location and concept (maybe because dealing with the owner is like pulling teeth). They could also use an interior designer. Looks like they ran out of money half way through building it out. read more

I was a very early customer of the restaurant during its soft opening phase, bringing a group of a dozen of my close friends and spreading the word about this establishment around the city. Unfortunately this evening (10/10/25) I came in with my parents, who were repeatedly yelled at to wait by the door to the street while several other groups of younger adults were given tables who arrived later. When we were asked to approach the bar to speak about status on a table, my mother was spoken to very rudely by the owner after she shared she couldn't hear what he was saying above the sound of the music. I said to the owner that she couldn't hear him and asked him to please be kind. I shared that I have supported this neighborhood establishment and would appreciate if basic politeness could be extended to my family, to which he said "sorry you feel that way". I hope that things can improve moving forward for the sake of this location of the neighborhood and the staff of the restaurant. Thank you. read more

Great food and service! Good sized bar, friendly staff and it will be even better once the light build out is complete. Highly recommended!

Hidden gem. If I was a local I'd be here once a week if I could afford it. Food, drink and ambiance were excellent.

Asked the name of the amazing bar back/ food runner, and I think it might be Rey Rey. He is the best: generous and helpful! and the reason we will be back, though we enjoyed the food and drinks very much. Thank you!! read more
