Reviews
Absolutely a great little bar. Open late with a full bar and great food. One of the best espresso martinis we have had and super fresh beer battered fish. I was so impressed by the service too. The wings had a little too much sauce on them for my preference but they were still absolutely delish.
Fun place with specials all week. The good news is they have an open kitchen until 1 am which really is good considering the Nob Hill area does not have a lot of places open for late eats. I got the fried olives which were really good. And a red IPA which was great too and perfect temp
We had dinner at Last Drop Tavern in San Francisco and had a really great experience. The tavern has such a nice atmosphere and we really enjoyed the whole vibe of the place!! We tried some delicious premium cocktails, and for starters we had calamari, which was very good. For the main course, we had pasta with shrimp and also a meat dish with salad, and everything was really tasty and well prepared. Overall, the food, drinks, and ambiance were excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely recommend this place🥳
It’s not easy to select the last place you stop by for a drink on the last night of your stay. I’m glad we picked this one, the staff is really nice and the whole place has a « mood » of its own, both relaxing and dynamic. Oh, and take some time to enjoy the menu, the descriptions of the cocktails are excellent.
Really loved the creativity of the cocktail menu here. Each drink is inspired by Tales of the City in San Francisco and they’re all super unique and thoughtfully made. Yerba Buena Fortune – Elegant and refreshing. Jasmine tea forward, very smooth, with a floral aroma and a sweet fortune cookie on top for a lovely texture to pair. The Hyde & Seek – A fun one to experience. Try it unmixed first: the bottom has sweet whiskey and citrus notes, and the top is a mozzarella cream cheese whipped foam. Once mixed, it becomes smooth and tropical, almost like a Mai Tai with an egg white foam on top. Nob Hill Society – A savory cocktail done really well. Nice umami flavor with a slightly sweet finish. Pairing it with the rice cracker gives it a great salty-sweet balance. Japanese Botanical Garden – Spirit-forward but still very refreshing. Lychee and elderflower flavors come through on the finish, with a beautiful elderflower aroma. So clear and refreshing it almost drinks like water (in the best way lol ). Overall, really creative cocktails that feel unique and well thought out. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy trying something a little different.
