Great Drinks and Even Better Bartender!
I really loved this bar! I went on a random weekend to celebrate my friend's promotion, and the drinks were great, but the bartender was even better! She was very sweet (I think her name was Em?) and even chatted with us for a bit.
I loved the vibes all around.

Great Pizza and Vibe Near Station
My experience at this restaurant was great! It's a cool bar conveniently located close to the 22nd st station. I really liked their Pizzas and the overall vibe of the place.
The location is also very convenient.

Rude Bartender Ruined Sunday Visit
The space is great and usually very nice on Saturdays. However, the female blonde bartender on Sundays was incredibly rude and insulted our guests on their birthday. We are regulars and spend several hundred dollars here.
We used to recommend this bar to everyone in the area. Another staff member, who was very kind and helped us organize, even told us to "please come on Sunday as it's always empty. " Our night was ruined by just one bartender.
We couldn't believe this behavior; it was totally unprofessional. The bartender went on a rant as we were leaving, and only when we were leaving. We never raised an issue during the entire evening.
We complained to the manager, and action will be taken. I advise avoiding this place on Sundays or as long as this bartender is still employed there (hopefully not for much longer). She will ruin your night guaranteed!

Rude Bartender Ruins Dry Pizza
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The pizza was dry, which was a letdown. However, the most significant issue was the incredibly rude bartender on Sunday night.
She shouted and insulted the guests. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, and she should be fired.

Great Ambience, Terrible Service
I've been in SF for two months and hang out in the area a lot. I came to this bar for a great ambience. I visited for a friend's birthday, but not only did they charge $72 for us bringing cake, but then the bartender shouted at everyone when they were leaving and even called the birthday person names when it wasn't his fault.
It was incredibly disrespectful and ruined a lovely venue and a lovely celebration. I will be advising others to stay well away in the future.

Great Neighborhood Spot for Dates or Catch-ups
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great neighborhood staple with excellent cocktails and solid bar bites. I could see it being a great date spot or just a good place to catch up where it’s hip but still quiet enough to have an actual conversation.

Excellent Dogpatch Spot with Great Drinks
Piccino anchors the Dogpatch corridor, and Bar Piccino is even better after dinner hours. Jordan and Kendra are my goto mixologists, the food and wine are San Francisco *chefs kiss*.

Charming Bar with Pricey Non-Alcoholic Options
Bar Piccino, the bar extension of the Dogpatch restaurant Piccino, offers a tempting spot for after-work drinks and shareable plates. While it boasts a cool vibe and some delicious bites, a few stumbles kept it from being a slam dunk. Bar Piccino strikes a nice balance between upscale and casual.
The indoor space itself is rather minimalistic and intimate with dim lighting and limited seating (which makes it a cool spot for a date night). Aim for an off-peak time or be prepared to wait for a spot, especially on the weekends. They do have some outdoor seating space but definitely bring a layer because you know it - it gets chilly in the night.
When we visited Bar Piccino, we were the only group inside, and there were maybe 2 groups that were seated outside. On a Friday night, it was surprisingly very quiet. My friends and I ordered drinks at the counter and grabbed what appeared to be the only round table in the bar.
My first observation when I looked at their menu was that their non-alcoholic drinks cost almost the same as their cocktails and other alcoholic drinks, which to me was a bit surprising and disappointing. The other thing that stood out was that their non-alcoholic drinks, at least some of them, were basically the alcohol free version of their cocktails. Anyways, we tried their Oxacan Holiday and Lust in the Dust cocktails.
They were both pretty decent. I liked the Oxacan holiday more than the Lust in the Dust. Oxacan holiday had smoky notes from the mezcal and a hint of honey, citrus, and spices.
Lust in the Dust had peppery agave flavor from the tequilla and sweet and tart flavors from the passion fruit and the pear. Bar Piccino has its charms. If you're looking for a trendy spot with a casual vibe and solid drinks, Bar Piccino is worth a try.

Delicious Food and Great Drinks!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The staff was very friendly, and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I especially loved that the drinks menu changes so much, which means you have to come back often to try the new creations!
Highly recommended!
