Thanks for waiving the cover for my birthday weekend…read more Vibes are great here, there's a chiller side where you can just sit down, enjoy drinks and play with the board games they provide. The other side is for when you're ready hit the dance floor. Tried their p martini and it was too citrusy and not enough passionfruit flavor for me. Water is very accessible on both sides which is great. Would come again for sure!

I came to Rick & Roxy's with a 222 group after dinner at nearby Hinodeya. We finished dinner early,…read moreso we were the first ones to arrive, and it was super chill and very empty, which was actually nice not having to compete with a large crowd to order drinks. I was excited to see that the first cocktail listed on the menu was the Porn Star. I don't often see this drink offered, so it was a nice surprise. The version here is mixed with vodka but no bubbles. It's barely noticeable though because they made it into such a fruity concoction, I couldn't even taste the alcohol. My group threw some darts, mingled with and chatted up others as they arrived, and eventually migrated to the nightclub side of the bar. I thought the experience was pretty good at first, but after a while I got bored, so I went to join other friends at White Rabbit and continue the night. I definitely think this is a good bar to include in the rotation for bar hopping nights in the Marina.

From start to finish, it had the whole room dancing, clapping and screaming with joy. You can tell how much work goes into these performances and it truly shows. The Harry Potter themed vibe is also super unique. The lighting, the artwork, and the overall atmosphere make this place stand out from your typical drag brunch. If you're a Harry Potter fan, this spot is a must. The food was fresh and delicious, but let's talk about Nate the bartender, super cool, kind and welcoming. He really brings great energy to the space. Definitely try the Love Potion, it's a standout. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

The themeing is so on point inside! Some of their drinks are interactive which adds on to the themes. My friend thought the wands were available for show and borrow and got charged $20 for the wand xD I gotta say the night we went, bartender was pretty slow... it almost felt like he forgot our order bc it would take a while and when finished making drinks it was actually another groups order. The bartender wasn't super busy either. The drinks were hit or miss, espresso martini they had on the menu is probably premade bc I asked to change the liquor and he said I wouldn't be getting the one that's on the menu. Tried the one on the menu and lowkey hated it, tastes watered down and bitter. Although I tried my friends "butterbeer" cocktail and omfg if you have to order something get that. It was so good. Drink costs were about $16-$18. For me, it was nice to try and a fun experience! But probably one and done ToT

We were warmly greeted as we walked up to the front door and I was surprised that we didn't have to wait. There was a corner table at the green banquette next to the bar, which have us a nice view out the window to people watch. Although the place is loud, our seats allowed us to hear each other since we sat side by side at the corner. Our waitress checked in on us right away and was always attentive. We're definitely coming back with more people just to have the espresso martini tower. The cafe has a fun and lively vibe, and you can bring your dog with you and dine outside at the patio tables. The only complaint I had was a fly kept buzzing between the bar and our table, but that's a minor quibble.

The service has always been good, and the staff are friendly and attentive, which I appreciate. My main criticism is the food. In my opinion, the menu feels a bit one-sided and relies too heavily on fried items. I would love to see more variety and lighter, fresher options. The food is okay, but it hasn't impressed me enough to make it a destination for dining. Overall, it's a decent place with friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere, but I think the menu could benefit from more balance and diversity.

The bouncers here are incredibly rude and condescending. At 1:50 AM, when the bar was closing, they…read morestarted forcing people out in a very aggressive way, shining bright flashlights directly into people's eyes, yelling "Walk and talk!" repeatedly, and having large security guards push crowds toward the exit. With so many people trying to leave at once, it felt chaotic and unnecessary. What made it worse is that once you're outside, they don't even want you standing on the sidewalk in front of the bar. I was simply waiting for my ride, which is the safest way to get home, and they were still trying to move people along. The service was terrible from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. I've never felt so unwelcome at a venue. I'd recommend avoiding this place and spending your money somewhere that treats customers with basic respect.

Wow! The crew at Mistletoe really knows how to get you in the holiday spirit. Put this spot at the…read moretop of your list for Christmas celebrations, and order from their specialty cocktail menu. Do not miss ordering a shot of their Let it Snow... and sit at the bar so you can get the fun surprise. I savored their rum, hot cocoa and toasted marshmallow cocktail; the warmth and flavors really hit the spot. The Christmas decor here is on point; they nailed it! Must experience this place. I spoke with the owner directly; great guy who has put a lot of work into this place and it shows. He has three locations in SF (this is a review for the Sutter street iteration), and I'm going to visit them all. Try to go on a week night when it's less crowded. They host official Santa Con shenanigans, so it's gonna get crowded this weekend. For good reason.

Not like last year…read more Bestie and I were here last night for my birthday. The bartenders were not nice. The ambience was hostile, a bit aggressive. Definitely not Christmasy. The fluorescent lights were on bright so it drowned out the Christmas lights. This place did a snow show last year. I asked about it, got a lecture and no snow. Worst of all, they played extremely loud, annoying Hallmark movie, Lifetime channel basic white broad Christmas songs. With some skrillex mixed it. Weird. The other girlies started leaving. The drinks are delicious, especially Santa's Grog. But they ran out of it at 6pm. The Christmas decorations lacked spirit and soul. Hoping for better next year.

Peacekeeper is one of my favorite bars in the city for the past decade, and when I found out Bar…read moreDarling is part of the same family, I knew I was in the right place. After a park day at the Presidio, we wanted to move the party and we decided on Bar Darling. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was jam packed. Luckily we were able to get some space in the alley way for us to order drinks from our server. We've been on a Friday around 5pm on another day, it wasn't as busy, so definitely a great place to start and maybe end the night. In a time where craft cocktails have gotten really expensive, Bar Darling offers craft cocktails (their signature cocktails) all for $14 each. If you know Peacekeeper, you know there's a lot of thought and imagination that goes into their drinks and it definitely shows here. My favorites were the Mama J (tequila based) and the Jaji (mezcal based). The aesthetic and vibes of this place is 10/10. Definitely great for a group of friends and/or date night!

Wanted to love it, really did, but I found the drinks underwhelming. Given the smashing success and…read moremy love for Peacekeeper, I had high expectations for Bar Darling and they sadly weren't lived up to. Drinks had almost a "watered down" flavor to them, not sure if the bartender was just having an off night or if they got too busy to maintain standards or what happened, but it wasn't a good beverage and certainly not worth the price. Even at 7pm it was packed and could definitely tell people had been there for awhile as there were multiple 20 something year old guys and gals stumbling around, so I guess they found the drinks to their liking (or more likely had so many they really couldn't ascertain the difference). Better drinks and better crowd control and Darling will be just fine. But as I mentioned, they were already packed stem to stern at 7pm so my guess is they're doing just fine already.

A little underwhelming…read more My friends and I stumbled across White Rabbit on St. Patrick's Day when the neighboring place was too busy. We should have known that this wasn't the most popping spot considering the holiday and how we pranced in without too much of a fight. It was rather empty when we were there. It felt like more of an empty room that just so happened to be a bar. Things just seemed spaced out awkwardly with furniture that didn't go well together. It was rather quiet too. I could not even tell you what music was playing because I could not even hear it. I do appreciate that the place was festively decorated though. It was perfectly on theme for St. Patrick's Day. The bartenders were super friendly here. My friends and I were trying to take a picture together and the bartender kindly snapped some shots of us (both horizontal and vertical pics...chef's kiss). We ordered a round of their Jameson Jell-O shots and they were super good. I'd be curious to come back on a typical weekend night to get a sense of their atmosphere in a different setting.
