    I went on a date here. The interior is dark, & sophisticated - really great sexy date vibes :) The cocktails are very high quality and have the price point to match. I got this pandan scented Japanese whiskey cocktail and it was awesome. Bartenders are cool.

    My husband and I used to come here for date nights before having kids! The cocktails were mixed well and tasted like a well blended juice! Service was great too with a very chill vibe! Five years later, I finally stopped by here again but with my little sister this time. I wanted her to try my favorite cocktail bar. Of course, SF made it very difficult to find parking in downtown with all those limited yellow markings and toll away streets. Very annoying! We happened to come by here last month when they were celebrating Asian Heritage Awareness. A lot of their specialities that night were made with pandan! The cocktails were still good but stronger alcohol taste than I remembered. It was packed too and very dim on the inside. They also have an outdoor patio for customers to chill now! Service was phenomenal as usual, but drinks were just as expensive as I remembered. Overall, still a great place for a night out for cocktails!

    P.C.H was ranked #41 on North America's 50 Best Bars list for 2026, so of course we had to check it out while in SF. We arrived around 10:35pm and there was a line that was not moving. Once it was 11pm, the bouncer started to let everybody in, so I'm guessing they only let people inside every 30 minutes to prevent overcrowding, even though once we got in it wasn't that crowded and there was plenty of open space outside too. Having to wait only gave us about an hour inside. It says they close at 12am and that is exactly when they close--you can't stay any longer than that. I'm used to bars typically staying open about 30 minutes to an hour after the listed closing time to allow customers inside to finish up. As soon as 12am hits, the bouncer starts going around and constantly telling you to hurry it up because they are closed now. The service was also pretty slow, which did not give us much time at all to sip and enjoy the drinks before they closed. We started off ordering two drinks, then our waiter came back about 10 minutes later and asked for last call so we ordered another one (this was before our two drinks even came out yet). After about 15 minutes, we got all three drinks and the waiter apologized and said he didn't charge us for the third drink since it took so long. This gave us only about 10-15 minutes to finish our drinks before we started to get told we had to leave. At least my drink (apple bottom beets) was good and I was able to chug it, but I would rather be able to take my time and enjoy a drink. Their menu is huge, and they have a wide selection of different cocktails categorized under which type of liquor is used (rum, agave, brandy). The ambiance is dark and romantic.

    My wife & I visited SF for the 1st time & stayed at Hotel Emblem next door. We noticed so many people coming in to this place we decided to look it up & see what the fuss was about. Seeing that it was named one of the top 50 best bars in North American, we had to check it out! We came in a Thursday night in mid-April about 9:45 PM. They have security outside thar checks IDs & also manages the queue in case the bar gets too crowded. We had no issues getting in, but there were zero indoor seats available - both the bar & table seating. Thankfully, they have a really cozy & well-lit patio area. The waitress let us know that even the outdoor patio has table-side service, so we made ourselves comfortable on the outdoor bench & within seconds she had brought us waters & cocktail menus. Weather outside was really nice, so I'm glad we actually sat outside. Each cocktail is $20, which definitely is a little steep, but I think the creativity, quality, & prestige of being named a top 50 bar supports the price. Each part of the menu is organized by liquor ie whiskey, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. We tried 4 drinks total. I only took menu photos of the pages we ordered from but they have a lot more selections. We ordered the Kung Fu Pandan, Silky Street, Rice Rice Baby, & Tropical Gangsta. We had some favorites over others, but all were very well crafted! The drinks came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. The only hiccup was our final drink took quite a while. Turns out the ticket machine malfunctioned & deleted orders put in & caused a back-up. The waitress was so apologetic & ended up comp-ing 2 drinks, which she definitely didn't have to but it speaks volumes to the high standards they hold themselves to & their customer service. Overall, highly highly recommend checking this place out for a fun night out or post-dinner treat! Glad we made the decision to stop in!

    Silky street- so tasty and the pineapple gummy was so cute in their pineapple cup!

    The cocktails here are always so tasty. I love the vast menu and the Asian influence on their drinks. Street parking but can walk from the Ferry building or other bart stops with enough resolve lol. Bathrooms - 2 single occupant bathrooms in the back. Always clean and big spaces. Service - friendly and attentive. They kept the drinks and water going consistently! Make sure to bring your physical id! They check at the front~

    Didn't take photos but this is the drink I loved.

    Love. Love. Love this place. I usually only drink two cocktails, and old fashioned and dirty martinis, but here I tried SO many things! And how could you not? Every drink we got was a win! Please come in and have some fun! They get packed so show up early. It's sure to be a vibe.

    Oh how nice it is to be in San Francisco and see its recovery post-COVID. The holidays this 2025 finally made me hopeful and seeing PCH during their holiday/Christmas popup reaffirmed that. Came on a Saturday night, saw the line and decided to walk around. The area isn't ideal and there wasn't much around, but we circled back and so glad we did! Was visually striking from the outside with the lights and ornaments, but how beautiful on the inside. After paying a $10 cover/person (cash/venmo ok), we walked in and were immediately greeted by a waiter who handed us a menu. Service was great, he circled back around and after ordering gave us free will to walk around and told us he would find us with our drinks, which he did. All the drinks are $20 with a few gifts like holiday PCH shotglasses on the menu too. Quite pricey, given that for the two of us, a drink each came out to be $70 +tax/tip, but I figured it was to cover all the decor. I ordered the coconut hot chocolate since it was a hot rum drink and I love getting unique drinks that I can't find elsewhere. Was really yummy! Overall, just a great vibe, saw a lot of corporate personalities even dressed up! Should definitely come check it out once during the holiday season, I'll come back to check out their regular menu

    I love PCH and recently came by for post-dinner cocktails. It was busy on a Saturday night and a bit loud inside so we sat outside which was comfortable. I appreciate that they have servers outside as well to take your order and I got the rice, rice, baby which is one of my favorite cocktails in the city with rum, toasted brown rice and rice milk. The flavor is unique and I love the toasty rice aroma!

    Sarah Z.

    Yes yes yes!! Drinks are so delicious. The vibes are 100% it. I love how they utilize their space very well--to fit in people comfortably, they even have bar counters even in the back. This bar is featured in the list of top 50 bars in North America and normally I feel like those rankings are rigged but no..this place definitely deserves a spot there! Service was also great! Bartenders were all friendly and they were so sweet about changing my drink when I wasn't feeling a tequila base.

    Yvonne N.

    I don't do cocktails...but when I do, it's always PCH! They have the most creative, tasty and mind-blowing cocktails on a good day. Service is spectacular as it's modelled after Francis, Manager Extraordinaire. The list is long...there's a drink for everyone. Be sure to arrive with your ID. I won't even talk about their Christmas setup. That's on a whole other universe. PCH is home to my favorite pandan drinks. It's always a great time here.

    Caveat: This review update is ONLY for the Miracle at P.C.H. holiday pop-up. I recently stopped by during the Miracle at P.C.H. holiday pop-up on Christmas Eve. There was quite a long line of people waiting to get in, but it moved relatively fast. There was a guy collecting a $10 cover fee per person via cash or Venmo, presumably to offset the cost of decorations and specialty ingredients for their holiday menu. The cover charge is exclusive to the holiday pop-up and does not apply during regular business hours during non-holiday times. Once we got inside, we saw how packed the bar was. There were no available tables or bar seats and barely any room to even stand. We were handed their exclusive holiday menus (their regular menu is unavailable during the EOY holidays), and eventually someone came by where we were standing to take our order. Since we only planned to get one drink each, I informed him while checking out that I'd close the tab. Each holiday cocktail is $20 plus fees and tax, so after accounting for fees, tax, tip, and the original cover charge, our two drinks cost in total over $70! $70+ for two drinks is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering that my drink was at least 75% ice, so I basically paid for frozen water. I came to P.C.H. because I genuinely love this bar and their unique, delicious drinks during normal operations, but their holiday pop-up is the complete opposite of a "miracle". It's an expensive, chaotic disaster. I would not have come had I known for sure their regular menu would be unavailable. Their holiday drinks don't do the bar justice. I will never come to P.C.H. again during the holiday season. It was an unfortunate lesson learned the hard way, but once is enough. I also want to note I don't think any less of the bar or its employees, who are exceptionally professional and friendly, but the burden of putting on this holiday spectacle undoubtedly puts extra stress and pressure on them. There are absolutely no net benefits to staff and patrons from this annual holiday extravaganza.

    Outside seating
    May N.

    Came after Christmas on a Saturday at 3:30pm and it was busy enough that there were no spots inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Love that the outside feels just as festive as the inside, with the fake snow blowing every 20-30minutes. I had the coconut hot chocolate and it was so tasty!! There's really nothing like a hot drink when it's cold out.

    Carla I.

    Loved the magic Christmas decor, the bathroom was a+ and I am a sucker for fake snow. All the drinks were very tasty and service was pretty fast given how packed it was.

    Ask the Community - Pacific Cocktail Haven

    Does PCH have mocktails?

    Yes! My friend who doesn't drink got a mocktail at PCH in November and liked it.

    As of 2024, can we bring in outside food? I read PCH partnered with Hogwash in the past - which has permanently closed - and also partnered with ABACÁ. From which restaurants can we bring in food to eat while we drink? Thank you.

    Are the Christmas decorations/ drinks up?

    Yes

    Vaccination card required?

    No but we were carded at the front door for our ids

    Are you dog friendly?

    I saw a dog and their menu states four legged friends are welcomed

    Do you have any food?

    Nope! PCH partnered with Pinoy Heritage two years ago. They are now ABACÁ.

    Is the Christmas pop up still open on 1/3? Online sources (Eater) say that it's open until 1/4, but wanted to make sure!

    Last day for Miracle at PCH was NYE. We’ve closed till Monday for repairs.

    Are kids allowed?

    Nope. No one underage. A girlfriend's ID expired and she couldn't even stay in the bar we had to leave. Kinda sucked but the cocktails are so worth it. Honestly wouldn't want kids in there (sorry)

    Are they open Christmas Eve? If so, hours?

    open 3pm

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

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.
