This place looked nice from the street but we sat for 10 minutes and decided to leave. It was so uncomfortably hot, like it didn't make sense. It's a November night in San Francisco and it was hotter than my days in Florida. Also no one came to take our order. read more

Mariano was amazing, helped us out with a bunch of great drinks and killer vibes while the hockey game was on! Will return soon.

I visited with a friend for a quick happy hour get together. We each sliders, patatas bravas, truffle garlic fries & cocktails (I had a mojito & my friend had a lemon drop). The space is modern & sleek. The bartender was also our server so he was juggling table service & bar guests so he was busy. The food & cocktails were pretty good & happy hour prices made it even better. read more

Fantastic service from Nicole. Squid Ink Paella was delicious and we enjoyed our meal.

We were charged for a round of drinks we didn't have $51 and for an item we never had an additional $24 . For 6 drinks and a small charcuterie we were charged $249 . I will definitely skip this place ... read more

It was so nice to have a functioning bar and food options in a hotel, again. The food served here comes from the tapas restaurant and is good. The churros are amazing! The feel of the place is upscale bar, but friendly and unpretentious. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender and had a very enjoyable time. read more

Fantastic experience. The bartender Mariano is incredibly personable and took the time to talk to each person at the bar and gave attention to everyone. At other bars, the bartenders tend to camp out at one side of the bar but not Mariano. His cocktails are also very top knotch. Highly recommend. I will definitely be returning. read more

Cool vibes and chill drinks. Mariano made sure we felt taken care of. I would definitely come back.

Great service from Mariano! Very welcoming and kind. Definitely recommend coming here and ask for Mariano!

Amazing ambiance, and food was fantastic. The service was top notch from Mariano. Definitely coming back.

Great drinks! Before I go on, let me say that my review covers drinks only. We did not have any food on this visit. We had a short window of a couple of hours to get together with a couple of friends and they suggested The European because it was conveniently located for all of us. The place has a nice bar, to your left as you enter, and also a seating area with a few tables. We sat at one of the tables at the very end. The cocktails are made real nicely. Their Mojito won a few votes in our group. I ordered the Sangria and loved it. There was a family sitting on a table near us and they ordered plenty of food; all tapas style and every plate they got looked appetizing! But, we were running out of time and had to hit the road. Next time we will definitely try the food! read more

Roberto and Haniel are incredibly kind and professional! They were so attentive to our needs and helped celebrate my father's 76th birthday. Both went above and beyond in making us feel welcome. A wholehearted thanks to both of them read more

Such a great little spot! The bar has a cozy, quaint feel with a really nice ambiance that makes it easy to relax and enjoy yourself. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was excellent, far better than you'd expect from a small bar, and the cocktails were top-notch--balanced, creative, and made with care. Perfect place to unwind with friends or just chill for the evening. Definitely a gem worth coming back to. read more

Been traveling for years and the European bar and lounge has been one of the best or the best bar of them all. Can't and won't go wrong, a must visit. From Haniel to Nicole and the rest of the team, S.F. felt like home away from home. Thank you for the best hospitality experience ever!! read more

We had no plans of going to a bar when we came in here. We were actually looking for a place to grab a quick bite before our Harry Potter play on the street opposite. Since this was the only place nearby, we decided to go in. I am glad that we did :) As a first impression, nothing really stands out with this place. Its a regular bar with a good selection of drinks and has good seating indoors. Drinks : We had a couple of Cucumber delight and Old fashions. The drinks were yummy and potent with the right amount of sweetness. Food : The fries and the chicken wings were great, definitely something we needed before the 3 hour long play. Ambience : This place is bigger than what it appears from outside. Its clean, the bar is not as big but the seating is great. The music was very light so it made it easier to have a conversation. But then again, it might get loud as night falls. The bathrooms are located upstairs and make you walk almost through a maze to get there but are clean and hygienic. There is no outdoor seating here. Value for Money : Drinks are strong and the food is good. What else do you need! read more

We were looking for a spot with wine and tapas and we found this spot just a block away from our hotel. You must have your COVID vaccinations and ID to be served. The interior is quite cozy with dim lighting. We had a nice cab with a half charcuterie and cheese plate which was very good! I was surprised to get a $2 off on a glass of wine when I checked in. When I mentioned it to the server, she said since Covid, they were not supposed to have a Yelp discount, but she was kind enough to honor it. We really liked the food and wine and would go back again. read more

The European quickly became my fiancé and I's favorite place in Union Square. We came twice in our short 4 day trip. We felt so welcomed by everyone we interacted with. The bar tenders as well as the food & drink manager we're wonderful! The food is 10/10 and the drinks are also 10/10! Knowledgeable bartenders who were able to help my fiancé explore more delicious , reasonably priced bourbon. read more

Came here for happy hour on Friday from 4-6pm. Had their Mi casa Tu casa cocktail which was delicious. We ordered a bunch of plates, some were really good like the potatoes, bacon wrapped dates, others were okay like the lamb chops and shishito peppers. Love the vibe and decor, it's connected with the restaurant next door, which is where the happy hour food menu comes from. Would like to revisit as well as try the restaurant it's connected to for an official dinner. read more

Came here after having HH up the st. Bartenders were great with great tasting manhattan's. I do have to say the supervisor Emad didn't make us feel welcome or confortable. Might of been because i was speaking a different language and/or laughing with the staff. Will definitely come back just because of the friendly bartenders. read more

The food is tapas style with several paella options available. Great wine list and a delicious espresso martini they add chocolate liqueur in I love the bar staff - they know their cocktails and wines, are so kind and energetic, and overall possess great energy that add to the ambiance of The European. I enjoy coming here for a bite or drink with the girls since their seating is comfortable and chic, think loungey tapas den style, with the choice of four/two top tables, if so preferred. The seafood paella had a surprising amount of seafood in it, ask for some hot sauce to go with! The lamb lollipops - super tender and savory; patatas bravas were a group favorite; shishito peppers - kinda basic but expected. For desserts, we had the chocolate ganache, or bites of chocalate bliss paired with strawberries and little crackers, and a slice of cake (can't remember the name. Go for the ganache!! The cake was okay, not too flavorful and quite dense. read more

5 stars does not give this establishment enough justice. Our experience at the European was exquisite and genuinely exceeded our already high expectations of not only Spanish cuisine, but the dining experience as a whole. The ambience, the service, the good were all superb. We ordered the octopus and the squid ink paella and each bite was absolute perfection! On top of this, our server, Sergio Casas, was not only so attentive but also so friendly and personal. His bartending skills were so impressive and his energy was magnetic. He showed us his best drinks that were even showcased in Forbes news. The drinks we had all had a beautiful taste. Even though we came at a later hour, he was still such a memorable character who served us some of the best food we have had with the best energy. We will definitely be coming back! A read more

The bartender, Alejandro was great, the cocktails were very tasty and great service, I totally recommend it.
