Cozy Bar with a Draft and Pricey Drinks
What a great little bar with an atmosphere that's really something special. 👍 I'm giving it one star less because there was a noticeable draft, likely due to the door being kept open constantly, perhaps to signal that the place is open and attract customers. Additionally, personally, we didn't enjoy the drinks as much as we'd hoped, and the prices seemed a bit high.
(Of course, this is subjective and can vary for everyone.)

Great Drinks, Terrible Acoustics
This is my neighborhood bar, and I want to like it, but the acoustics are terrible. Just hang up some cloth on the walls already, or whatever works best for you to soften the din. I get migraines in here, but I love the drinks and wish I could come in without getting a headache every time and shouting to hear friends.

Rude Bartenders, Decent Drinks
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The drinks were good, though nothing particularly special. However, the bartenders were rude and quite noisy, which detracted from the atmosphere.
While they claim to be dog-friendly, the environment isn't ideal for anything larger than a small dog due to the general atmosphere and the bartenders' behavior.

Holy Water: A Moody Vibe That Keeps Getting Better
My experience at Holy Water was fantastic! As a former neighborhood resident, I always make a point to return and hang out here. They put so much thought into every detail, from their cocktails and tap list to the decor and menus.
The glassware is also noteworthy. It all contributes to a whole moody vibe that they consistently improve upon.

Great Cocktails and Ambiance
My experience at this bar was fantastic! They serve some of the best drinks in SF, managing to achieve that perfect balance where drinks are both tasty and strong. The bartenders clearly know how to craft great cocktails.
Beyond the drinks, the ambiance is lovely too, contributing to a great overall experience.

Cozy bar with great cocktails
My experience at this cozy bar on Cortland Ave in SF Bernal Heights was pleasant. The Catholic decor added a unique touch to the atmosphere, and I particularly enjoyed the dim lighting. This is a drinks-only establishment, so don't expect any food.
I tried the After the Gold Rush signature cocktail and found it to be very enjoyable. Mixed drinks are priced around $16, and beers are $9.

Absolutely Rude Staff and Lies
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative due to the absolutely rude staff. I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to edit and respond to the lies presented in the restaurant's reply. When a customer politely asks a question, and you respond with cussing, it's understandable that anyone would show attitude and choose to leave.
The service, particularly from the bartenders, was exceptionally bad. I hope no other customer has to endure such bad service.

Great Beer and Piña Coladas!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially regarding their beer selection. They have an always rotating tap with lots of choices, which is a huge plus for any beer enthusiast. I also enjoyed their great piña coladas!
