Really unique, immersive speakeasy. Came for a birthday and opted for their escape room, which is…read morealso a really cool feature for a speakeasy bar. 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 atmosphere is so lovely, there's good music that gradually turned into old school hiphop as the night grew longer. The servers were so kind and came by all the time to refill water and make sure everyone was happy. Little shoutout to the server that took care of us all night Kimberly! She was so amazing and had the best service. (: It may be a bar but the food is so good, we got a little of everything to share. As a regular of lounge-style bars, this place has good lighting if you like taking pictures of your drinks, a good surprise! I really appreciate all the staff for being so kind and attentive on a busy Saturday night. We had a party of 12 that took up a little two-couch area with no issues at all! If I can make a recommendation for anyone that reads this, get the Thunderbird!

I almost just finish the finish the Hi-Chew for pig (secret menu #6) was very very refreshing! Slightly creamy in a good way (giggity) For someone who hates Gin, it was flavorful and easy to drink! Piggy - light, easy to drink. You get the dill taste first then the cucumber and a small hint of bitter melon at the end. It really stimulates my adhd brain Pineapple bun - a little sweet and citrusy. The coconut whipped cream on top was a perfect topper!

Embarrassingly enough, we didn't realize that this was speakeasy so we tried opening the door.. left but still curious so did more research while we were at another bar. The code is on instagram! Returned and it was the best decision because now we're looking forward to go back! Sat at the bar, had some recommendations from the bartender and the drinks were spot on. A very unique cocktail menu you cannot find anywhere else so it's really worth checking out! My favorite was the Hot & Sour and probably favorite drink ever. I could order that a thousand times over. I'm not exactly sure how busy the weekend gets but going on a Thursday night was chill. A little too chill.. we started getting tired.. a drink, dim lights, slow music.. it was fitting for a weekday night actually. It was a good experience. Can't wait to try the rest of their cocktail menu!

Thats how I know asians own this place lol. Appreciate this level of intention. Made it feel more intimate and cozy. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Immediately when you walk in the staff is on it. There was a handful of pandan drinks and our server explained each one perfectly and gave his recommendation. I forgot what I got but it was delicious. My cousin got a matcha one which was interesting and strong! Their menu was refreshing (no pun intended) and the type I love to see that are actually creative and culturally inspired. Got lucky with standing seats then moved over to the bar. It wasnt that packed on a Saturday evening assuming bc it was OSL weekend. They were playing great music at a good volume. But golly hella expensive. 2 drinks with the service charge and tip was over $60. Guess thats SF. Would definitely return but for a special occasion.

We stopped in for drinks and Tina started us off with outstanding customer service. She was incredibly welcoming and made the experience great from the very beginning. We made our way through an impressive lineup of cocktails, including Get Him to the Fenugreek, Extra Fancy, Apple Bottom Beets (one of my favorites!), Barley and Me, Tropical Gangsta, Que Pop Limon Hunters, Mo Mole, Mo Problems, and more. Every drink was unique, beautifully crafted, and absolutely outstanding. Apple Bottom Beets was definitely a standout for me, but there honestly wasn't a bad cocktail in the bunch. We ended the night with Laura closing us out, and her service was just as exceptional. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, everything was 10/10. If you're looking for superb cocktails, creative flavors, and fantastic service, PCH is definitely a place you need to check out!

This is a gorgeous spot; the detail from the welcoming greens sign, to the cozy lighting, tasteful religious kitsch, and well thought out style, we had a wonderful visit. The decor made us explore the bar before we sat down; they have tables and different seating areas around, but it seemed like the bar was the place to be. They have a full selection of liquor, plus a cocktail menu, and killer tap list of mostly local draft beer. I absolutely loved their glassware too! The bartender was very friendly; I failed to notice the tap list above the bar was different from the menu so I was glad that was pointed out for my second beer. Prices are reasonable for the experience of being here. The other clientele at the bar were also friendly, it has a neighborhood vibe but is welcoming to all.

I was worried about the temperature but the thing that was not convenient about us was you're extremely close to the next table that we could hear them loudly even if they were just talking in a normal tone + volume. We were just extremely close and it was our first date. It was extra awkward because of us hearing the conversations surrounding us as we were sandwiched in the middle of 2 tables. The food was pretty good. The donburi was very fresh. The ceviche was also so good. The aged sashimi was just okay. It was not great so even if I'd like to go back to check out the other dishes, I will not order that again. I personally think the dishes were a little expensive and the sea urchin substitution was worth trying but if I'd order the donburi again, no need to upgrade. Hopefully, I could go back to try it again as we couldn't properly enjoy the food because of where we were seated. Maybe we need to try the other dishes and be lucky enough to sit inside. The vibe might change for the better.
