Rye - San Francisco

This is one of the finest cocktail bars in the city—an absolute hidden gem!

Rye offers an incredible variety of seasonal drinks, but what truly made our night were the bartenders. They were extremely friendly and provided excellent recommendations for both drinks and late-night dining options! Surprisingly, it wasn’t crowded at all on a Saturday night.

Fabulous and creative cocktails. Friendly bartenders. The venue is stylish and conveniently located near enough to union square. I see groups enjoy their gatherings in the larger neighboring room.

Came for the holiday krampus setup, love the drink options and bar setup, will definitely be back

Was looking for a spot after class and happened upon this one. I've walked past it many times but somehow this was the first time I noticed it. Maybe it was because the door was open and it looked so warm and cozy? I don't know why I never noticed it before. I have a thing for seasonal specialty menus. It's fun to go to the same old place and try something new that someone put thought and effort into creating. There were so many options that I'll have to come back to try more. The old fashioned was great with the holiday spices and the gingerbread cookie was yummy. I think they have a lot of extra touches that just takes this to the next level. The thematic decorations, the projectors playing cartoons in two different sections. The seasonal decorations. The caged smoking area (for safety, it is Geary after all . I love the extra thought out into all of these things! The bartender might have been the owner? Not sure, but he said they've been around for a while. He was professional and accommodating and that's all we expected. My friend had a specific request and wanted a large ice cube and he delivered. :
