    I stopped by Lost Cat real quick to have a couple of drinks and really ended up enjoying their cute drinks. I'm especially a real big fan of the cat cup! It was both the cutest and the tastiest. The bartender was awesome and was also super helpful on helping me out with the menu at the bar. Super chill spot and not very busy when I got there during their happy hour, I hope I can come back and try their food soon!

    We need more cat/themed places in SF! I planned an all day cat themed outing for a large group and happy this was one of the stops! Good bar food to go with the drinks! Glad to have some things to eat if drinking. You know sometimes you don't expect too much from bar food, but Here there's Better than typical bar type of food. Really enjoyed the fries with 2 sauces (classic, crispy finger food for sharing), chicken skewers, sliders (good appetizer size! a little something more substantial in food), chicken wings (you can choose from a few sauce choices). curry puff (flaky tasty wrapping with curry inside)! "Dumpster Cat" cocktail seems to be the only one that comes in a cat mug. Of course I had to! my mug was a black cat and it had an adorable removable yellow hat. reminds me of halloween. Would be cool to have even more cat mugs for the variety of drinks. Love the cat theme paintings/art on the walls. The large Mona Lisa + cat piece is fantastic. There's one booth in the back that fits 7-8 people. Not crowded early evening on the weekend

    Great atmosphere, great food and great bartenders. Came across this little hidden gem as a recommendation from our Hotel Maître d'. Came into a great dive looking bar, sat down right away and ordered pulled pork sliders and garlic fries - yum! My boyfriend ordered Wild Turkey 101, the bartender was determined to find it but unfortunately they were not able. They did however recommend a wonderful whiskey that he enjoyed just as much. Thank you Lost Cat for a wonderful experience.

    Great little spot with unique bites and drinks. Was expecting more cats, but I got there when they just opened so maybe they hadn't quite gotten everything together yet the bartender Nathan was great very knowledgeable. If you just let them know what you'd like to taste was great with suggestions or even making unique drinks for you.

    I love this place. I originally found the Lost Cat when I went out for my birthday in October and it was so cute. The cat mugs and the amazing cocktails were all I needed. I then went out with a friend this past weekend and we were eating at a restaurant close by that had a wait. So of course I said, let's go get a drink at the lost cat and they dint disappoint. Nathan made our drinks and both were on point. I got one of the holiday specials. Chocolate and coffee something or other. Delish! Nathan was really cool and nice to chat with. Ok. Of course I'd go back, many more times dare I say.

    Our group of almost 15 people was lucky to find seating in a back area on a busy Friday night. The space itself has many cat decorations, and we walked through the bar and some limited seating to make our way to the back. We ordered a wide variety of drinks, and I tried their Lychee-tini. It was perfectly balanced! Loved the floral and sweet flavor of the drink. The Manila to Tokyo had a great pandan taste, and The Peach & Cherry Blossoms drink had a great blend of floral and lemon-y/yuzu taste. My personal favorite was my friend's Manila to Tokyo. My friends and I alrso tried their garlic fries, which were perfectly crispy. The place had good vibes and good music that night. Prices are reasonable for the drinks, which had a decent portion size and were of great quality. There's a cute cat on display!

    This was a last minute spot for us to end our night, and it was such a pleasant surprise! I was on the hunt for one last lycheetini to end my night and saw this spot had one and decided to give it a try. It wasn't busy at all, so service was super quick. I got the lycheetini and my boyfriend decided to give the thai tea milk punch a try. The lycheetini was on par with others I've had in the city. Light and refreshing with a nice lychee garnish. The thai tea milk punch was AMAZING!!! I don't do dark liquor at all, so I was hesitant to even try it, but it was SOO good, dare I say better than my lycheetini! It resembled a thai tea almost identically, and you could not taste the liquor at all. There was an option to add thai tea foam that we opted out of, but I wanna go back just to try that! It was pretty slow, so there was a lot of space to sit and enjoy a drink. I loved the halloween decorations they had as well. Great spot for yummy asian inspired cocktails!

    Cool little bar in San Francisco, sadly the drink I specifically came for based on pictures was no longer available. They serve food here and quite a few people had dogs here and they weren't service animals which kinda seems like a cross contamination for dining guests and drinkers. Luckily I was staying at a hotel close by since parking is nearly impossible by this location

    I had heard there was a real live cat at this bar, and as a cat lover I knew I had to come check it out. Though the cat didn't make an appearance, my friend and I still had a good experience overall! We arrived around 630pm on a Friday and there were a few parties inside, but it was still empty enough to pick wherever wanted to sit. We each ordered a drink and some food to share. Even though the portions didn't look big when they were brought out, we were surprisingly full by the end. - Lychee-tini: this drink is often too sweet and syrupy for my taste, but it was so good here! It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet but also without too strong of an alcohol flavor. - Event Horizon: I'm a sucker for gin and elderflower drinks so obviously had to get this. It was very good but wish the elderflower flavor was just a tad stronger. - Personal pizza with pepperoni: I never expect much from bar food, but if you like focaccia and pizzas with thick but airy crusts, you'll like this. It was perfectly cheesy and saucy, and I like that the pepperoni was layered in between all the melted cheese. - Oven baked wings with gochujang sauce: the wings were tender and super saucy. Definitely very strong gochujang flavor too. The bar emptied out a bit over dinner time, but more groups started coming in around 8pm (as we were headed out bc we were tired LOL). I can't speak to the vibes later at night, but it was a nice place to catch up with friends or have a casual date - the music was a good volume where you could yap without having to yell or struggle to hear. The cat theme details were very cute too, but I appreciated that it also wasn't overdone and super kitschy. Staff also mostly left us alone (yay) but were attentive when we needed something. Overall, very happy I finally got to stop by and will be back to try some other drinks!

    Cute hidden gem on Post St! Stumbled upon The Lost Cat during the Christmas season, the cozy vibes was matched with festive, charming holiday decor. They had a seasonal drink menu, we tried the Lychee tini & Manila to Tokyo (made with Mugi shochu, pandan, lime, yuzu liqueur, makrut leaves). Both were delicious, but the Manila to Tokyo stole the show, we liked it so much & ordered another round. We also got garlic fries, which were crispy, golden, and loaded with garlic in the best way possible. Service was amazing & the bartender was entertaining. Great spot to hang out with friends & sip on good cocktails. I'd come back to try more of their menu!

    Drinks are so great! It was a Lost Dog night, not a Lost Cat night lol (see pictures). The dog was so sweet, and came up to cuddle and check in on every table. Dumpster Cat and the other drinks we tried were tasty, but not too strong. Wasn't a fan of the sticky tables and door handles. But I do love low lighting spots and quiet background music, and this place checked off both those boxes!

    Really cool drinks and well made Small bites are made well too Service took a little longer Ambiance is also not too bad but also not too artsy or over the top

    Came in late night after a show. Bartenders were quick to provide menus when we walked in. Got our drinks and sat in the lounge chairs away from the bar. It was very cutely decorated, dark, and not too loud with the music playing. Love the music selection here.

His knowledge and customer service were so good that I specifically looked for him on my next two visits. The views at Cityscape are incredible, with different perspectives of San Francisco depending on which side of the bar you're on. Yes, the drinks are on the pricier side, but between the quality, atmosphere, and unbeatable views, they're well worth it. One thing I really like is how easy it is to visit.

The views of the city lights at night were beautiful, and the cool breeze added to the experience. Unfortunately, several aspects of the evening fell short. The music was uncomfortably loud, making conversation difficult. The charcuterie board was underwhelming, with items that felt more store‑bought than curated. The pear and prosciutto pizza also missed the mark in both presentation and appeal. Service was fine, though it carried a level of pretentiousness that didn't match the quality delivered. The biggest disappointment, however, was the condition of the restrooms. They were extremely dirty -- out of paper towels, only one functioning hand dryer, a dirty sink, and wet floors. For a dinner totaling $260 among friends, having to freshen up in a shared restroom in that condition was genuinely off‑putting. As a former restaurant owner, I know restroom upkeep is basic customer service and not difficult to maintain. Many establishments manage this every 30 minutes without issue. I truly wanted to enjoy this place and hoped it might have just been an off night, but the overall experience didn't justify the price. San Francisco deserves restaurants that deliver both atmosphere and consistent quality.
